The Potter’s Wheel

Obu is eight years old and very clever. He is first in his class at school but he is lazy and doesn’t work hard. His father wants to send him away to be a servant of a schoolmaster and his nasty wife. His mother wants Obu, her only son, to stay at home. Chukwuemeka Ike tells us in «The Potter’s Wheel» how Obu goes and come back very different.
