ملخص القصة باللغة العربية:
يَقْبَلُ نَجَّارٌ شَابٌّ بِلَا تَدْرِيبٍ مُوسِيقِيٍّ وَظِيفَةً فِي مَشْغَلِ آلَاتٍ سَاحِلِيٍّ، عَلَى أَمَلِ تَعَلُّمِ فَنِّ صَانِعِ الْآلَاتِ الْمُنْقَرِضِ. لَكِنَّ الْعُودَ الَّذِي يُطْلَبُ مِنْهُ بِنَاؤُهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُكَرِّرَ عُودًا أَسْطُورِيًّا، الَّذِي بِالتَّقْلِيدِ، لَا يَجِبُ أَنْ يُسْمَعَ صَوْتُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ.
