A Jug of Milk

I heard an interesting story about a small village who was expecting a visit from a great leader. One of the village members suggested that they have a grand feast upon the leader’s arrival, and asked each of the villagers to bring a bucket of milk, and pour it into a big container at the village center.

After this request, each of the villagers returned with a bucket and quickly filled the large container. That afternoon during the feast, the villagers began filling their glasses from the container, but to their surprise, the liquid they poured was water instead of milk. When asked what happened, the villagers all admitted they thought no one would notice if they added water instead of milk.

Here’s the way I see it: A wise man once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” When you choose to work with our print shop, you can rest assured that we will meet or beat your expectations.
