Answer:

The book tells the story of a 12 year old boy named Tree-ear, who is an orphan and lives under a bridge in Ch’ulp’o with Crane-man, a crippled manTree-ear always watched potter Min make his potteryBut one day when no one was around Tree-ear decides to take a closer peek at potter Min’s workThere he saw were many objectsBut only one object seemed to interest Tree-earIt was a rectangular lidded boxIt was undecorated on the outside, but what about the inside? Out of curiosity, Tree-ear decides to look inside the box to see what looked like five smaller boxesThey fitted perfectly around each otherBut then suddenly there was a shout, and Tree-ear was frightened and he dropped the boxNow he has to work for potter MinOne day, an emissary named Kim arrives to hire a potter for a new commission for the palaceWhile spying on other potters in the village, Tree-ear learns of a newly created technique and must decide if it is ethical to reveal the stolen information to MinHe decides not to but Min does get a chance to demonstrate that he can use the new inlay technique and sends Tree-ear to the emperor with samples of his best workOn route to the royal court at Songdo, the boy is attacked by robbers, and all of the pots are smashed, leaving him with just a single shard to display his master's skillHe continues his journey, confident that the shard demonstrates that his master is worthy of the commissionThe emissary's assistant is about to throw Tree-ear out when Kim inspects the shardUnsurprisingly, Kim is impressed at Min's workKim sends Tree-ear back via seaTree-ear goes to his master to inform him that Kim (the emissary) likes his workUnfortunately, after sharing the news, Tree-ear learns Crane-man died while he was away and quickly becomes sadMin decides to adopt Tree-ear and his wife changes his name to Hyung-pil (his dead son was Hyung-gu and Tree-ear's new name shares a syllable, as Korean siblings' names commonly do)Tree-ear is finally able to learn how to make pottery.
