Answer:
Maurice was a strong and proud man. He had been raised to believe that a man should always strive to earn his own way and never take charity. He had been out of work for several months, and his savings were dwindling. He was desperate to find a job, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find anything.
One day, he heard about a job opening at a bakery. He was thrilled at the prospect of getting back to work, but when he went to apply he was told that the position had been filled. Discouraged, Maurice was about to leave when the baker stopped him. 'I don't have a full-time job for you,' he said. 'But I do need someone to help me out a few mornings a week. I can't pay you much, but it's something.'
Maurice was skeptical. He wasn't sure he wanted to take a job that paid barely more than minimum wage. But he also knew that he had no other options, so he reluctantly agreed.
The job wasn't glamorous, but Maurice was grateful for it. Each morning he would help the baker mix the dough, shape the loaves, and fire up the oven. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough to help him get back on his feet.
And as the weeks went by, Maurice came to realize that half a loaf was indeed better than none. He was grateful for the job, no matter how small it was, and eventually he was able to save up enough money to find a full-time position.
Maurice never forgot the importance of that job. It had kept him afloat during a tough time, and he was forever grateful for that small bit of help. He knew that sometimes, half a loaf really is better than none.
