==//Many times gods have been known for their strength and wisdom. This boy has a magnificent talent that not everyone appreciates. Oren is a boy whose life wasn’t so great. At his birth his mother was died, leaving him with his father. At the time there was the terrible Persian war going on and his father was drafted. Oren was left with his mother’s sister Elsa. Elsa had a dark heart. She lived alone on the edge of town in a small hut. Oren was about four when he went to stay with her around 539B.C.In ancient Greece .//== ==//When Oren was about six he discovered a stream with clay like mud. He spent most of his time down there. Until one day Elsa found him, she forbid him to ever go down there. Did that stop him no. many times while Elsa went on her daily trip into town he would sneak down to the stream. When he was nine every thing changed. He discovered a talent lurking in side him. Now when ever he made things with clay they came out beautiful.//==

//“I…I….I thought that you…”//
==//“You though what that you could disobey me and come down here and make ugly little statues! You though I hadn’t seen them all in your room! Well you’re wrong! Now you just got double the chores you get to clean the barn clean the houses then clean it again!”//==

//He knew he would never get to see any of his works of art again.//
==//The next day was the hardest day of his life. He wasn’t very strong so all that work was tiring on his little bones. Elsa came home found him sleeping. She hit him so heard that the mice sleeping under the rug screeched when they heard the SMACK.//==

//So I’ve decided to sell you for fifty dollars. You’ll be leaving tomorrow at sunrise.”//
==//That night was the worst night of his life. He knew that he couldn’t do anything, because if he did he would be wanted. When sunrise arose he heard the cart pull up and a loud knock on the door. His aunt trampled up the stairs. With that he bolted up got dressed, he really didn’t want to get smacked again. Elsa and him continued down the stairs and he came face to face with his new master.//==

==//His new master was a middle age man. He was a wealthy looking man. He handed Elsa fifty dollars. Oren and his new master were off. They pulled up to the biggest house that Oren had ever seen. It looked to be about the size of the biggest church in the world.//==

//At that he left. Sense I hadn’t had any sleep the night before I laid there and slept.//
==//I woke up at dawn and got dressed and went down stairs. The long corridor didn’t seem so long in the day light. I was surprised to see a full breakfast bread and eggs from a chicken with a note referring to me it said…//==

//Phidias.”//
==//Oren did as the note said ate quickly got some water into a bucket and made my half a mile hike to the sculptors house. When I arrived he was on a stole and was sculpting a beautiful statue of a woman. He figured that it was the Master's wife.//==

//“I heard you the first time. I will answer you when I’m ready………Now I’m ready. I understand that you like to sculpt. Well let's see what you’ve got.”//
==//He told him to sculpt a beautiful swan. So he did. He told him that he would talk to Mr. Lanston since he was old tired and wanted to finish his work on his newest statue. Mr.Lanston wanted a bust. That is what the sculptor wanted to finish. That night after the sculptor had finished his work on the statue of Mr.Lanston’s wife, but he was terribly tired fell over and hurt his back. He was force to stay in bed. Oren was forced to finish the work.//==
