“invisible screws SHORT STORY”
A teacher conducted a test. On the question paper was a simple sketch of a chair, with one question: “What’s the most important part of this chair?”
Students wrote answers like: “The legs.” “The seat.”
“The backrest.” and so on.
The teacher shook her head and said, “None of you got it right.” She smiled and explained, “The most important part is the one we don’t take notice of. ‘The screws’ that hold it all together. Without them, the chair would collapse.”
Life works the same way. It is not always the big or visible things that matter most. It’s the unseen support — family, health, kindness and the little choices we make each day.
So let’s never overlook the “invisible screws” in our lives. They are the quiet reasons that we are still standing strong.
