The sharpener maker told a few things to the new pencil sharpener before putting him in the box:
-They will come to you dull, and it is you who will make them sharp.
-Though they are nothing without you, the pencils will take all the credit. No one mentions the role of the sharpener in writing the great novel.
-You are expected to be there for them, even though they are constantly poking you in your hole.
Remember that some days you are the pencil, others you are the sharpener.
