The home was finally completed after a lot of work.
The result was there for all to see and admire.
It seemed like it had been built brick by brick.
The bricks looked special with calligraphy carved on them.
The visitors were enjoying at the house-warming party.

The historian did not eat a morsel.
He was keenly observing the bricks.
Did the bricks have antique value?
Had the house-owner stolen the bricks from an archaeological
site?
He could not have got so many bricks!
The home-owner could read his thoughts.
“Bricks are handmade with love by local artisans”, he said.
Now, who to believe?
ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteSupporting local artisans keeps a community afloat. Nicely done.

there used to be many brick factories in my area and each would infuse their name into the brick. Those days are gone. Your story was a lovely reminder of my local past.
ReplyDeleteIntriguing - I hope the story is true and the artisans are able to enjoy a happier, healthier dinner as a result of the builder's support.
ReplyDeleteI wonder. Of course, he could have bought then from a bric-a-brac store!
ReplyDeleteA nice nod to the work of the local artisans and trades people. Well done, Anita.
ReplyDeleteBricks are not often thought of as works of art. It would definitely make a conversation piece!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I think it is a mixture of both.
ReplyDeleteOh, I so hope the bricks were truly locally manufactured.
ReplyDeleteGood cover story for the stolen bricks!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't be the first time an "expert" got all excited, only to find that his so-called artifacts were brand new :)
ReplyDeleteLocal artisans, eh? How long ago, though?
ReplyDeleteWell done. I hope the homeowner is telling the truth.
