Once upon a time, in a small, rural town, there lived a young boy named Sawdusty. He was a simple, good-natured person who enjoyed nothing more than to help his family and community. He would often take any job that he could find that would help someone else, no matter how small or insignificant it may have seemed.

One summer, Sawdusty’s family was going through a particularly difficult time. His father was out of work and the family was struggling to make ends meet. So, Sawdusty decided to take on a job cleaning up sawdust around a local mill.

The work was tedious and laborious, but Sawdusty was determined to do a good job. He worked hard every day, often working late into the night. He was a quick learner and quickly mastered the skills necessary to do a good job. His hard work was noticed by the mill owner, who decided to give him a raise.

Sawdusty was so happy and grateful to receive this pay increase. He put the extra money to good use by helping to buy groceries and clothes for his family. He also gave some money to those in the community who needed it most. Thus, Sawdusty quickly became known as a generous and selfless person.

One day, Sawdusty was asked by the mill owner to do one more job: to clean up a pile of sawdust in the back of the mill. This job seemed a bit strange to Sawdusty, but he was still willing to do it. So, for hours on end, he worked diligently to clean up the sawdust.

When he was finished, the mill owner came out to inspect his work. Sawdusty was nervous, but was pleasantly surprised by the response he received. The mill owner was so impressed by how meticulously he had done the job that he offered Sawdusty a permanent position at the mill.

Sawdusty was elated. He accepted the job and worked harder than ever. His hard work paid off and within a few months, he was running the entire mill. Sawdusty continued to use his success to help those in need and was a beloved member of the community.

Moral of the story: Hard work and dedication always pay off. No matter how small or insignificant something may seem, it can still make a difference if you put your heart and soul into it.
