Once upon a time, there was an old man that had worked all his life in a puppet theater. One day the theater closed its door, because children stopped coming in to see the show. The owner of the puppets offered the old man to take one of the puppets in payment for his work. The old man took one that had a broken leg, thinking he could fix it at home, and that it would be a good project, since he lived alone and had no family of his own.
