Lucy was sitting in a lonely corner of the library. She had been there for a long time, but the paper on the desk was still blank. Mr. Carter had given her an essay. Suposedly, it was going to help her building skills. Bloody Mr. Carter! That was why she was there, even if there weren't results yet.
Pouting, she took up her pen. Name five things you have to do before adding a stone. Lucy nibbled the pen while thinking. Nothing happened. She frowned, biting her tongue in concentration. Then, a slow smile blossomed on her face. Painstakingly, she wrote: 1. look at the stones already placed. 2. look again. 3. mend them. 4. mend them again. 5. look again.
Next class, Mr. Carter returned her paper with an C. But her lighthouse crashed down again. At the end of the class, Mr. Carter gave her another paper. Consequences of a collapse.
What matters?, she thought distressed.
