His jobs are to cut wood and put it into the pottery kiln, cut clay from the riverbanks for the potter Min to make into clay, and drain clay to make it finer. To pay for his mistake, Tree-ear offers to work for Min for nine days in order to pay for the box, which then turns into eighteen months. When Min comes out and startles Tree-ear, he drops and breaks a box.
One day Tree-ear goes into Min's yard and investigates the work that he was drying in the sun. Tree-ear is fascinated with the nearby potters in his village, especially Min, and often watches them work. Tree-ear is an orphan who lives under a bridge with Crane-man, a physically disabled man who took him in when Tree-ear was only a small child. A Single Shard is a novel published in 2001, awarded for excellence in children's literature, by Linda Sue Park, set in 12th-century Korea.
