The House Builder Go Back The House Builder views 4:52 A mason is a person who builds house with stone, bricks, cement etc. So let’s start reading the story. This is a story about a mason, who worked for a building contractor. The mason always strove to do his work to perfection. As soon as a house had been designed by the architect and details were finalized by the engineer, the contractor would send for the mason and leave the responsibility of building the house to him. The mason would then, without wasting any time start his work. He would take great interest in his work of building and do it with full dedication. He made sure that he used the best construction material, of high quality, the measurements of the walls, doorways, arches etc. were perfect and he gave an excellent and appealing finish to whatever he built. The owners of the new houses built, would be more than satisfied with the construction. Because of the zeal, diligence, loyalty and persistence that he displayed in his work, the mason was in great demand and fetched good business to his contractor. Subsequently the contractor recompensed the mason, handsomely, with a very good salary. He could meet the needs of his family sufficiently, without any scarcity. The mason thus continued working with great devotion for many years, till he became a grandfather. Then he decided that it was time to retire and spend time playing with his grandchildren. Being a firm-minded person, he informed his contractor of his decision to retire from house-building. The contractor was very disheartened to lose such an excellent workman and urged the mason to continue his job, but to no avail. The mason had made up his mind and refused to carry on.
