The Shipshape Miracle by Clifford D. Simak

Unfortunately, his “rescuer” has the same idea. But when a ship like none he’s ever encountered lands, he sees his salvation-and an opportunity to take the priceless craft for himself. So when he’s marooned on a planet with no plan for escape and no working radio, he takes it in stride and prepares for a long stay gathering food, making shelter, and collecting all the diamonds the world has to offer. Cheviot Sherwood doesn’t believe in miracles. The title story is just one example of this. And his short fiction is still as gripping and surprising now as when it first entertained an entire generation of fans. Heinlein, and Ray Bradbury, his novels continue to enthrall today’s readers. Held in the same esteem as fellow luminaries Isaac Asimov, Robert A.
