Once upon a time in a bustling mechanic workshop sat a proud machine — a massive engine that powered an entire factory. It roared to life every morning, puffing steam and humming with precision. Every part, from the smallest bolt to the largest piston, worked in perfect harmony.
Among all the parts, there was a tiny nut — barely noticed, tucked deep inside the machinery. The nut often felt unimportant. “I’m so small,” it would sigh. “The engine would run just fine without me.”
The bolts, gears, and belts would laugh. “We’re the ones that matter! You just sit there and do nothing!”
One morning, the nut had enough. “If I’m so useless,” it thought, “then they won’t even notice if I leave.” So, it began to loosen itself, little by little, until finally—it dropped off and rolled away.
At first, the engine kept running. Nothing seemed wrong. The gears spun, the belts turned, and the workers cheered as the machines came alive. But soon, a strange sound echoed through the factory—clank… clank… clang!
The vibrations grew worse. A bolt came loose. Then another. The gears began to grind against each other. Within minutes, the great engine shuddered, groaned, and came to a halt. Smoke filled the room. The once-proud machine was broken.
When the mechanic opened it up, he found the cause — the missing tiny nut. “Such a small thing,” he said, shaking his head, “but without it, the whole engine fails.”
From that day on, the nut learned its worth — and so did everyone else. Every part, no matter how small, mattered in keeping the great machine alive.
Moral: Even the smallest role has great importance. Never underestimate your value — the whole system may depend on you.
