In a small town there lived a young carpenter known for his honesty and talent. One day, a rich merchant ordered beautiful furniture from him, promising a generous payment. Piotr started work with enthusiasm, putting his whole heart into it. After a few weeks, he delivered the furniture, but the merchant, delighted with its quality, decided to cheat Piotr. He only gave him half of the agreed amount, saying the rest would come later.
