the broken Christmas pitcher page 3 by ric gustafson
The young man opened the heavy wooden door and turned on a nearby light. It revealed a sparse studio with large wooden shelves on all four sides.
Myron noticed that they were filled with beautiful pottery pitchers.
" Have a seat my new friend".
He sat down next to a large steel work table.
The young man took a pitcher from a shelf and put it down on the table in front of Myron. " How do you like this pitcher?".
Myron picked it up and studied it. " It's beautiful".
He smiled. " Myron, there is something that I would like you to do for me?".
" What's that?".
" I would like you to smash this pitcher on the floor".
" What!". He gave the young man a puzzled look.
" Please indulge me" he replied with a smile. " Please smash this on the floor".
" It will smash into a million pieces".
" I know" he said with a wide grin. " That's the idea". He handed Myron the pitcher. " Please".
" Ok". He picked up the pitcher, raised his right arm and threw it hard toward the floor. As predicted, it smashed into a million pieces.
