That pump drew water for 23 more years. When he died, his grandson opened the old oak toolbox and could name nine of the forty tools inside. At the very bottom, wrapped in oiled flannel, sat a plain gray stone worn hollow in the middle. These are the twenty tools, counted down to that stone — and the one habit that made every other repair possible.
