The decorated tin
An original account of an invented classroom activity.
Mia turned the old tin beneath the classroom light. Its lid was covered with a pattern of tiny leaves, flowers and curling stems. The shapes crossed and joined one another, making the design difficult to copy accurately.
Her teacher described the pattern as intricate.
Give the meaning of the word “intricate” as it is used here.
