His first few chores was to clean the crystal glass in the merchant's shop. However, after working with the merchant for a substantial time, Santiago started to provide the merchant with marketing ideas to boost the man's business. Initially, the merchant refused Santiago's ideas due to his reluctance to change. However, he inevitably succumbed to Santiago's cause and thus granted permission to serve customers tea in crystal glass and strategically position display cases containing crystal on the path passing the hill. This resulted with the Crystal Merchant's business to escalate dramatically. With this in mind, a long time back it was stated that the merchant gave the boy a very high percentage of income due to the expected low revenues the business usually acquires. This allowed Santiago to amass a major source of income and funded the journey to Egypt. Before departing, the Merchant thanked Santiago tremendously and stated that Santiago was an indeed an omen, a gift to the Merchant.]]> 2018-09-03 22:55:42 UTC https://padlet.com/thibodeauxa/a6/wish/277373063 capitalism_is_great1337 https://padlet.com/thibodeauxa/a6/wish/277375258 Crystal is often defined to have a homogeneous pattern of molecules in a symmetrical setting. However, crystals have a plethora of varying structures. These structures are extraordinarily complex and are nearly impossible to described with only words. The names of these structures are just as fantastic to pronounce: amorphous, isometric, tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, trigonal, monoclinic, and triclinic. If you are curious about these shapes, I highly advise that you check out the source.
