Question

16. A man came upon a construction site where three people were working.
He asked the first, “What are you doing?” and the man replied:
“I am laying bricks.”
He asked the second, “What are you doing?” and the woman replied:
“I am building a wall.”
As he approached the third, he heard him humming a tune as he
worked, and asked, “What are you doing?” The man stood, looked up at
the sky, and smiled,
“I am building a cathedral!”
