    helping the tinker organize shows and earn money.
    3. The tinker was a very humble man, he was a good listener, a kind friend, and a

    kettle. He was unhappy to part ways with the kettle not because it would stop his
    income, but because of his emotional connect with the kettle. His act of donating
    half the wealth to the temple shows how generous and kindhearted fellow.
