Grandma was busy cooking in the kitchen and Sera was always to be here for dinner.
There were many photographs of past and present 1 members and many other old things on her grandma’s table. Among them, she especially loved the large clay pot (陶壶). It was beautiful, painted in many colours.
“May I hold it?” asked Sera.
“Yes, but please be 2 . It is very old.” Grandma picked up the pot with gentle hands, gave it to Sera, and then went into the kitchen.

“It’s not so 6 , Sera,” Grandma said. “Come on. You can repair the pot.”
“Let me tell you a story about that pot.”

It had been full of 9 , so she got all wet!” She pointed to another crack. “This crack came when I dropped the pot on a big boat that brought 10 here from Canada,” said grandma smiling.
