Many tools were always at Musa’s disposal as he worked in a busy workshop, which was his place of work, and he was a carpenter. There was in his collection, a tiny tool—an old, rusty chisel, which could comfortably fit in the palm of his hand. Most people ignored it since they preferred the bigger and shinier tools. But Musa knew its worth. This little chisel had been instrumental in carving designs in fine furniture whittling delicate parts away that even larger tools would not get into.
One day, Musa was approached by a rich merchant and entrusted with a special job, which is, to design a cabinet with the carved details for the wedding daughter’s big day. Other people would compromise and use electric machines for speed; however, Musa opted for the little chisel instead. He went on, etched a soft flower ornament in the picture, breathing life into each of its tiny tiles shaped like petals.
When the merchant beheld the figurine made by Musa, he was speechless, it was the most beautiful work of art he had ever seen.
