John and his brother went to attend the wedding of their cousin Bella. After the wedding ceremony, everyone went to the banquet. Near the buffet table, there was a beautiful ice sculpture. Many people were praising and admiring its beauty. “What a wonderful sculpture!” said John’s uncle. John and his brother also stood near the sculpture and looked at it in awe. As more people crowded around the ice sculpture, someone drinking coffee accidentally stumbled on the sculpture. Hot coffee splashed all over the ice sculpture and it was ruined in minutes! Immediately, the crowd dispersed. John thought sadly, ‘This was someone’s hard work! We must always be careful around such things!’ Then he went to have his food, wondering at the craftsmanship and talent of the sculptor who had made the ice sculpture. He decided that he, too, would learn to make beautiful ice sculptures.
