The main problem in the story is the young man wanted to make elephants like the old man. For example he stayed for many moths to learn how to carve elephants. Another example is he wanted to be as good as the old man. A third example is he wanted to make elephant like the old man's. Clearly,the main problem in the story is the young man wanted to make elephant like the old man.

His problem is resolved because he could not see elephants but he could see tigers. For example at the end of the story he told the old man that he sees a tiger in the stone. Another example is he wanted to set it free just like the old man did with the elephants. A third example is he started to see animals in blocks of stone just like the old man did. Evidently,his problem is resolved because he could not see elephant but he could see tigers.

What most likely happen to the young man is he will know how to carve tigers. For example in the end of the story he saw a tiger in a block of stone. Another example is he will probably learn how to do it better when he is older. A third example is that when he is older people will probably purchase his carving like they did to the old man. For that reason,what most likely happen to the young man is he will know how to carve tigers.
