Her mother Arenla, however, wants her to be a weaver because pottery is exhausting and poorly paid – the clay must be carried sixteen kilometres uphill and pounded for months for only a few rupees. Sentila secretly watches expert potters and admires the craft. The village council reminds her father that traditional skills belong to the whole community and must be passed on. Arenla eventually teaches Sentila, but for a year the girl cannot shape a single pot, growing frustrated. At the girls’ dormitory, a kind widow called Onula notices Sentila is too tense; she demonstrates and encourages her, telling her to observe her mother shaping the mouth of the pot. With new confidence Sentila finally masters the craft. One day Arenla, pleading a headache, leaves Sentila to work alone, and the girl makes a whole batch of pots almost equal to her mother’s. She then finds her mother dead. Onula later discovers two indistinguishable rows of pots and senses a profound, almost mystical passing of the gift from mother to daughter. “A new pot maker was born.” The story explores perseverance, mentorship and the inheritance of tradition.
S Sentila The young protagonist who is passionate about pottery and finally masters it through perseverance and good mentoring.
A Arenla Sentila’s mother, an expert potter who first discourages her because the craft is so hard and unrewarding, then quietly passes on her skill.
O Onula The kind middle-aged widow at the girls’ dormitory whose patient encouragement helps Sentila overcome her tension and learn.
T Temsula Ao (author) The Naga writer; the story is an abridged version of her original tale set in a north-east Indian village.
T Theme – perseverance & mentorship Sentila succeeds only after repeated failure, the right guidance and self-belief, showing that dreams need both effort and support.
T Tradition as community property The village council’s view that craft skills symbolise the people’s history and must be shared, not owned by one family.
