"A story: A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes heâ€™s finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his sonâ€™s diaper; his hands remember the rifle."
