The man is a carpenter. A carpenter works with wood. The carpenter is making furniture. The carpenter is operating a tool. The tool is a lathe. A lathe helps shape wood. Furniture is constructed with different shapes of wood. The piece of furniture is a chair. The carpenter is making a chair leg.
The carpenter stands over the lathe. He reviews the requisition form for forty chairs, signed by the guildmaster. If he were not a carpenter, he would be standing over a bean field. If he were not a farmer, he would be standing over the lathe. He operates the lathe because the wood must be shaped to build a chair leg. Each chair has four legs. He must construct one hundred and sixty chair legs to fulfill the requisition form.
The guildmaster pays the carpenter a salary in exchange for his skill. The carpenter has used the guildmaster's money to buy a wedding band, a house, and a cradle. Now he has a wife, a son, a house, and a cradle. The house and cradle are made of wood. The wife and son are not made of wood. The wife and the son eat food.
The carpenter will make a chair. He will do this forty times. Each chair will be his best chair. Every chair is a representation of his ability. His ability represents the guild's profitability. The guild's profitability affects the employees' salaries. He must contribute his part to society. A king will sit in a chair. A scholar will sit in a chair. A serf will sit in a chair. A carpenter will sit in a chair.
The lathe holds the wood. The carpenter pumps the pedal. The wood spins in the lathe. The lathe shapes the wood. The wood becomes a chair leg and sawdust. The sawdust mixes with the sawdust on the workshop floor. The carpenter stops pumping the pedal. The carpenter is alone in the workshop. The lathe, the salary, the wood, the food, the society, and the carpenter made the chair leg.
The carpenter works until late.
