A taste of stone

Elion Saltary

My wife, Griselda, dreams of having the most original jewel for the next family bal. I have to admit I don’t really have the gold coins to pay a large sum, but that’s not something that’s bothering her. As a joke, I’ve offered her to sculpt a jewel in limestone and she’s fallen in love with the idea. Sadly, my skills as a stonecutter would make my old handicraft teacher ashamed and, well, I didn’t dare tell the truth to my sweetheart. Do you mind helping me get out of this mess?
