Ron Kroenke–The piano tuner

The interest of Ron Kroenke’s story

Doing the work you do for no payment

Ron Kroenke was tuning the piano at the nursing home and not getting paid for it. Dr Bean doesn’t like talking to people in English in the street.

Things which make you feel good or not good on the job

Ron Kroenke felt bad when one woman was ungrateful for the work he was doing. And he felt good when another woman appreciated his dedication. Dr Bean likes it when students speak English, are enthusiastic, and enjoy his activities. He doesn’t like it when they speak Chinese, are not interested, and don’t do what he wants them to do.

Haven’t you ever heard if isn’t broke, don’t fix it?

▶ “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” To criticize someone for doing something; ▶ Haven’t you ever heard, Too many cooks spoil the broth, when … ▶ Haven’t you ever heard, A stitch in time saves nine, when …

Well, how nice, you know, they have no idea that I’m going to bore them to sleep with my tuning.

Well, how nice. They have no idea that I’m going to bore them to death with my tuning. Nice, or not nice? Well, how nice. He (Dr Bean) has no idea that there’s no school today, (having ridden up the hill in wind and rain). Thus, an unpleasant surprise.
