One day, clay was being busk in the sun the whole month until then the potter bring him in.In much of appreciation, he thanks the potter for bringing him in.The next step,the potter begin to press hard on the clay.The clay started to compliant agian-asking y? did the potter press him so hard.Then the potter reply, i gave you an message so that your texture will b soften.The clay said it is enuf.Pls stop that,it's hurting me. Then the potter stop.The clay ask again-r v done yet?Next, come the spinning wheel part , the potter put the clay onto the spinning wheel.As the potter spin the wheel, the clay complaint again..because clay felt that it is spinning no where and it getting dizzier.The clay ask the potter to stop so the potter stop. "R v done yet?" ask the clay..the potter say not yet.Next the potter, put the clay into the oven."Now wat u wan to do??""kill me izit"just now put me under the hot sun n now u wan to burn me to death izit? The clay ask the potter.The potter take out the clay to let it cool down.Next, the potter started to craft on the clay."stop stop,this is really hurting me. u wan me to b poke to death?"said the clay to the potter. After the potter was done wit the crafting.He put the clay into the Oven again.and this time round , he increase the temperature so to dry up the clay structure and to keep the crafting well preserver. " stop this at once, i m really in pain- take me out"said the clay.The potter take out the clay form the oven.Until then, the potter then put the clay into a cozy dark room to let it cool down so that the structure will not break ezy. The clay- he is so happy because he is not in the oven anymore , not to suffer anymore. Then clay was put inti the cozy dark room for quite sumtime.Then he started to think again that the potter have forgotten about it. But then the potter took him out, and place him in front if the mirror. The clay started"it that me??"wow!! mine oh!! mine ~so beautiful.
