50-word short story of direct selling industry

An old carpenter is about to retire. He told his boss that he would go home and enjoy his family with his wife and children. The boss was reluctant to leave the old carpenter who had done a good job and kept him, but the old carpenter made up his mind and was unmoved. The boss had to agree, but asked him if he could help build another house, and the old carpenter readily agreed.

In the process of building the house, the old carpenter's heart is no longer working. The materials used are not so rigorous and the works made are not as good as before. Without saying anything, the boss gave the key to the old carpenter after the house was built.

"This is your house," said the boss. "I gave it to you."

The old carpenter was shocked, but also felt regret and shame: how many good houses he had built in his life, but he finally built such a shoddy house for himself.
