The life of a pencil

It all starts with “I want a pencil” someone says to another.
Ok, graphite is processed into small rods of lead.
The wood is processed and cut to size, it has a slit along the shaft.
Lead is placed in the slit, and a side of the wood slit is spread with a glue.
As the pencil moves along in the process the wood is folded glueing the sides.
The eraser and metal tip is added to one end.
The pencils are bundled and shipped.
Now the I want person can have his/hr pencil for money.
This begins the life, and life is terminated when the wood is trimmed too much or broken, or lost not to be found.
I am sorry to say that I do not know the sex life because I am too young.
