Chapter 1 :
The Bed Chamber
It all began on a dark and stormy night.... As rain pelted the windowpanes, Mrs. Thayn, looked up from the pages of the classic romance she had been reading. "Why, Dr. Thayn! I do believe we have a leak in the attic!"The Bed Chamber
There on the ceiling of the bed chamber, was the unmistakable mark. Damp and yellowing, the spot was a blemish on Dr. and Mrs. Thayn's newly acquired estate.
"Do not worry yourself, my dear," said Dr. Thayn, a hardworking, intelligent man. "I will venture up into the attic myself and discover the origin of this mysterious leak!"Chapter 2:
Snow Indoors
Light bobbed from the lantern which adorned Dr. Thayn's forehead. Inside the attic he slowly made his way to a pipe which snaked across the room, eventually exiting the attic directly above the bed chamber.Snow Indoors
"Aha!" cried Dr. Thayn. A bead of water hung on a bend in the pipe. "Just as I had suspected! Wont Mrs. Thayn be glad to hear that the mystery has been solved!"
Dr. Thayn turned to exit the attic. Making his way back was like a tightrope act across wooden trusses. Suddenly, halfway to the exit, Dr. Thayn lost his footing and, POP! It snowed white and pink in the sitting room for several moments. Mrs. Thayn, hearing the awful sound, ran from the bed chamber to see what had transpired.
When she entered the sitting room, her eyes fell on a large hole that now adorned the sitting room ceiling.
Below was a pile of rubble and fluff. Mrs. Thayn called out in panic, "Dr. Thayn? Are you all right? I heard a most terrible clatter, and here in the sitting room is a large hole!"Dr. Thayn's voice came from above. "I'm alright my dear. I slipped from the truss and my boot has gone through the ceiling." He was silent for a moment, partly in anger at himself, and partly in anticipation of how Mrs. Thayn would react.
Laughter suddenly floated up through the hole Mr. Thayn's boot had made. "Dr. Thayn," Mrs. Thayn said through her laughter, "Let's go to bed!"

Mistakes Can Lead to an Increase
Mistakes Can Lead to an Increase
The next morning the noble couple awoke with new perspective on their present situation. This was the perfect opportunity for them to purchase a ladder! Not only would Dr. Thayn be able to fix both the leak and the hole, but all his neighbors and associates would be in awe of his masculinity.
After a trip to the market in the family buggy, Dr. Thayn alighted his new ladder and began the task of repairing the sitting room ceiling.
Though not planned, the hole became an opportunity for Dr. Thayn to hone his saw and drill skills. 
It was also a test of strength, as Dr. Thayn had to look towards the ceiling and hold his arms over his head for quite a period of time.
That night, Dr. and Mrs. Thayn sat in the dining hall together, reflecting on the day's events. They couldn't help but smile at each other. "I do appreciate your skill, Dr. Thayn," Mrs. Thayn admired. "But can I mention one thing?"
"Why of course!" Dr. Thayn replied.
"There is still a hole in my sitting room ceiling, and it's bigger than before!"
