The One Who Carves
A woodcarver's shed at Ban Thawai, his son's carvings and his father's chisel: the one who carved this is my son; the boats I build are teak too; the elephant at the door, how much? the one at the door isn't for sale; the chisel you're using is very old; the chisel my father used; Jack is a man who understands wood; but I can't carve an elephant: the little word that joins a description to its noun.
