Perception

One day a gentleman was passing a construction site. He stopped

and asked one of the tradesmen what he was doing.

The worker, shoulders hunched over the wall
replied gruffly, "I'm laying bricks, can't you see that?"

The man watched a while longer and then asked another worker what he
was doing. The worker turned to him and with eyes downcast, he muttered "I'm just tryin’ to make a livin’, that okay?"

The Gentleman looked over and saw a third man whistling as he worked, his back was straight and movements swift …

The Gentleman approached, asking for the third time

what the worker was doing, but this time the response was

a little different,

Looking up, with eyes alight – the worker looked at the gentleman and smiled…

"I'm building a cathedral!"
