A lighthouse keeper diligently maintained the light in the lighthouse, guiding ships safely to the shore. One night, a violent storm knocked out the light. The keeper worked tirelessly to repair it, even as the storm raged on. When the light was finally restored, several ships had narrowly avoided disaster. This parable teaches us the importance of perseverance and dedication to our duties, even in the face of adversity.
