A timeworn story tells of a seasoned woodcutter who had been chopping down twenty trees a day since he was a boy. As he reached his golden years, the local townspeople bought him his first chain saw. The old man was grateful but somewhat confused as he took the gift away. Days later, looking haggard and pale, he appeared in town.
