| Publisher Description: After the end of a board is damaged, it is cut off and discarded. It is kicked about, and left in the scrap pile to be burned. Rescued by a young boy, the wood believes, for a moment, that it may still have value. However, the boy and his friends abuse the wood through rough play, and leave it forgotten in the wet, cold shadow of a building. Believing itself not to be of any value, the wood is surprised when the master carver takes him home and offers to turn him into something beautiful. Although he does not fully believe it is possible, the wood finally agrees, and the master carver turns the wood into a beautiful music box. |
