Voice 1: Some rugs are very special. Oriental rugs are some of the most beautiful rugs on earth. These rugs come from all over Asia and the Middle East. People in China, Turkey, Iran, and India all make oriental rugs. They make the most valuable rugs by hand, not by machine. The rug makers create complex images in the cloth. It takes a lot of time and skill to make an Oriental rug.
Voice 2: You may think that something with so much detail would be perfect. You may think that since a person works very hard to make the rug, that there would be no imperfections. But some people include an imperfection purposely. This imperfection may be an incorrect colour. It may be a missing line in the images on the rug. The rug-maker does this to make sure that the rug is imperfect.
