The horn was very fragile. I told him: Your horn is not fit for this kind of work. When it feels fire, it will break. He said: Please apply your skills to it. I said: It will hardly work. It will definitely break. He said: If it breaks, this will cost you nothing (I won’t demand any compensation for the broken horn). I said: Let’s see. And I worked on it till it straightened, and I continued working till I managed to make a knife out of it. When I finished the work, he said: God keep you! |
