[Story] In a quaint village, there lived an idle blacksmith named Ham. He had a handy hammer and a handbook of idioms that he’d often read. One icy winter day, if he chose to hang up his tools, he’d have a handful of free time. But instead, he decided to handle the task at hand, crafting a beautiful ice sculpture, which became the talk of the town.
