Once upon a time, in the North Star state of Minnesota where the Mississippi River begins its long journey, and the snowflakes are as large as mini pancakes, a gaggle of spirited kids participated in a delightfully mucky activity called Ceramics. Let's introduce you to the extraordinarily ordinary Pied Potter named Percy. Percy was as quirky as a coot, with a laugh as contagious as a yawn. He had hair like candy floss, and a twinkle in his eyes that could light up the Northern Lights. Percy was fondly known for his ability to turn a lump of clay into a magical unicorn, a fearsome dragon, or even a sassy squirrel eating a pizza slice! The kids who joined Percy in his ceramic adventures were just as delightful. They were Minnesotan through and through, as tough as the winters there, but with hearts as warm as the summer sun over the prairies. They were as diverse as the wildlife in the state, but they all had one thing in common: a love for getting their hands dirty. Together, they would squabble and giggle, making such a mess that even a mud-loving pig would say, "That's a bit much!" With clay splattered on their noses and their aprons painted with colored glaze, they would mold dreams with their fervor and creativity. Every ceramic piece they made was a wild journey of imagination, echoing with the laughter and joy of the Minnesota kids. So, if you ever visit Minnesota, do look for the Pied Potter Percy and his band of merry ceramic artists. Who knows, you might end up with a clay elephant wearing a sombrero!
