He let one end hanging over the hall, which tied the chandelier and the other end of the rope is fastened to a nail in the attic. Then he pulled the rope until the chandelier hanging tightly to the ceiling of the room and tied the rest of the string around the nail in the attic.

Everyone who came to the house admiring the beautiful chandelier, and the merchant and his household were very proud of it.

One day a poor boy asking old clothes. He was told to go up to the attic, where they kept old clothes, and to take some. He climbed to the attic and took a bundle of clothes. After packing them in her purse, found a piece of string with which to tie. He saw a rope tied around a nail and decided to take a part. So he took out his knife and cut the rope.

Crash! There was a terrible wreck and the next minute the whole family ran to the roof shouting "Idiot!" Look what you've done! Cut the rope and you've ruined us! "

The poor boy did not understand why he was all the excitement. He said: "What do you mean, you've ruined? All I did was take a small piece of string. Surely this will not ruin you?"

"You poor fool," replied the merchant. "Yes, all you did was take a piece of string. But it happens that my beautiful chandelier hanging from it. It is now broken and beyond repair!"
