Every evening, Ezra sharpened quills in the high scribe loft and stopped before the long practice scroll. He had set himself a tiny challenge: draw one line from top to bottom without lifting the feather. The room smelled of paper dust and cedar shelves, and the ink jars gave soft glassy clinks. Until one day, the smallest jar tipped over and moon-dark ink rolled toward the blank scroll.
Because of that, Ezra grabbed the nearest quill before the puddle reached the edge. Because of THAT, his hand made the line at last—wobbly, shining, and alive with silver specks. “Keep going,” whispered the loft wind through the leaves outside. So Ezra did, guiding the spill into the first letter of his name. When the candle burned low, four bold letters stood dry and bright. Next time you see the curled scroll and waiting quills, can you spot where Ezra’s first brave line began?
