Every morning, the apprentice would arrive promptly at the old carpenter's workshop to learn the art of carving from his master. They were inseparable, working together, eating together, resting together, and their relationship was as deep as that of father and son. The apprentice respected the old carpenter very much, and the old carpenter carefully instructed the apprentice.
