Lindel finishes the staff that Chise had finished carving. As she finishes, she meets an old friend, who offers her some wise advice.
Years went by, but he still was terrible
 at skiing, his soup was always burnt,
مرّت سنوات وما يزال فظيعًا
،بالتّزحلق، وحساؤه محروقٌ دائمًا
Konnte nach Jahren nicht Ski fahren
und hat immer die Suppe anbrennen lassen.
Pasaban los años y seguía
sin saber esquiar o hacer sopa.
Tras muchos años, era malísimo
esquiando y siempre quemaba la sopa.
Il n’a jamais su skier,
il cramait toujours la soupe…
Anche dopo anni, continuava a essere
un incapace a sciare e bruciava sempre la zuppa.
Os anos se passaram mas ele ainda continuou 
horrível em esquiar, sua sopa sempre queimava,
Годы шли, а он не мог 
ездить на лыжах, его суп был плох,
