What is the book a single shard about?

It is about a boy named Tree-ear, who is an orphan. He goes to live with a man named Craneman (who has a bad leg)under a bridge because of an outbreak of sickness in the temple. He soon watches a potter named Min work. He then looks at one of his peices, when Min comes in he drops the peice and has to work for it. Then when he is done working that off, in hopes that Min will teach him to make a pot. He works for him for a year and a half. Then a commisioner named Kim comes, Kang (a rival potter) comes up with inlay work. Kang gets the commission, Kim comes to Min and offers a commission if Min delivers a pot to songdo with inlay work. Min says he can't because he is too old. Tree-ear offers to take it later. Min says yes. So when Tree-ear leaves he is robbed. They take his money for food and destroy the pots. He finds a shard he thinks shows Min's work. He brings it and Min gets a commission. When Tree-ear comes back, Craneman is dead. He was on the bridge and a cart came by and he backed up and landed in the freezing water. So Min and Ajima (Min's wife) take him in and he learns to make a pot. The last line in the book is "Craneman, wherever you are in your journey, I hope your traveling on two good legs".

What does Too much water under the bridge mean?

"Too much water under the bridge" means too much has happened to make the situation right and you've moved on. An example would be: If you broke up with a mate because they treated you really bad, when they try to come back, you may say "there's too much water under the bridge."

Who are the main characters in the book A Single Shard?

The main charactor in "A Single Shard" must be either the potter, or Tree-ear. This book is about a boy, Tree-ear, who lives with a man, Crane-man, under a bridge. Tree-ear watches a potter, while being sneaky. One day he broke one of the potters vases, and decided to repay him by working for him. He would chop down trees, and also cut clay for his master potter. When they show their work to the people that rule their country, only one potter can win. When they chose Tree-ear's master potter, his name is Min, Tree-ear must go on a journy to bring the vase to the people that rule their country. On his journy some robbers find him, and smash both the vases, throwing them off a cliff. Tree-ear goes to see if they survived the long way down. But all he finds is a single shard. Will he be able to pull it off? Read the book to find out!
