Once upon a time there was a screwdriver who lived in a toolbox that was sparsely filled with nearly new tools such as hammers, pliers, a handsaw and some screws and nails. After a long wait the box suddenly opened late one afternoon and in poured light, in the middle of which was a head's silhouette. The head's fingers poked purposefully through the tools, tickling the screwdriver just a little. In the midst of her muffled giggle she recalled times when other tools were taken out but they never came back. Every time the hand took her out, she would help to fix something. But the hand always put her back.
She grew a little sad when she remembered all of the tools which she had lost.
The hand then reached for her and handed her to another silhouette. He turned, holding her closely and carefully and carried her from the garage. Oh the ecstasy as she swung back and forth in the hand, on a magnificent and mysterious adventure. He stopped and in the sun she could see his face. This beautiful man was building stairs and walls and windows and doors.
The beautiful man grasped her firmly then immediately put her to work installing switch plates which he would use to turn on the light.
