The Story about the Pencil and the Pencil Maker
During the time of the Guilds in the Middle Ages, there was a famous Pencil Maker, Hyman Lipman. One day as he stumbled to pack a batch of Pencils, he watched them intently and took on aside. He took a deep breath and said:
“There are 5 things you have to learn before you I send you out into the World. Always remember this 5 things and you will be a great pencil.”

Then he turned over the pencils to the batch and wrapped them in thin paper and onto the box. The pencil was shipped and used by a famous italian painter and drew most of the studies that became World-renowned masterpeices today.
