What did you think/when you first saw the Sagrada Família?//
　　I was strolling around Barcelona/and chanced upon a building site/where there was a mountain of stones.// In fact,/it was the construction site/of the Sagrada Família.// Although construction had been underway since 1882,/there was still a lot of work to be done.// My instinct told me/that those stones were waiting for me.//

You got a job as a stone-cutter.// How did you manage that?//
　　I went to see the chief architect,/but I was turned away at the door.// Nobody knew me,/and in their eyes,/I was simply an outsider.// Their refusal, however,/didn’t discourage me.// I kept going back.// A month later,/with the help of a Barcelona sculptor,/I finally met the chief architect.// He gave me a chance/to take a test as a stone-cutter.// The question was/whether I could meet his expectations.// You can’t imagine how nervous I was/while waiting for the result,/or how overjoyed I was/when somebody said,/“Congratulations!”// That was how I became/a sculptor for the Sagrada Família.// It’s now my life’s work.//
