Dakho showed discrimination in mechanisms and could detect a fault at once. He could really get to the heart of the matter!

One day a neighbor asked Dakho to repair his clock. Dakho turned the clock in his hands for a long time, set his ear to it and shook it. At last, he opened the cover and looked inside. He saw a dead, bone-dry fly there. Dakho looked at the fly and signed heavily,
"Machinechee' died, that is just why the clock stopped!"
They removed the fly and the clock started ticking again!
(Machinechee' - Motorman)

Dakho was pleased at the success and decided to repair different housewares for people together with his friends. They came to a bridge and started arguing about where to go. The friends said, "Dakho, read your palm!"
Dakho spread his fingers, "Will we have some luck if we turn to the right and go to the town?" The palm showed that they would have no luck.
"And if we turn to the left and go to the village?" But chiromancy did not promise success. What was to be done? Which way to turn?
Dakho started reading his hand again and it turned out that they would have luck if they went straight ahead, over the bridge balustrade.
Dakho shook his finger at the sky and said, "Please, credit me with some sense!"

They went on and saw a boot lying on the ground.
"This is the elephant's snout skin," said one of the friends.
"No, this is the skin of some animal," said another one.
They asked Dakho,
"Dakho-Djan, what is this?"
"Well, this is the hoe sheath!", said Dakho momentarily.
