Having learned how expensive books are in this world, Main resolves to make books of her own. However, she soon finds out just how frail her new body is when she and her elder sister, Turi, decide to go to the gate to deliver something their father forgot—she can hardly take a few steps before running out of breath. But that's when Lutz, a neighborhood kid the same age as Main, offers his help. Main is touched by this and soon makes it to the gate. There, Otto gives her his old slate, letting her experience the joy of writing once again.
There's no way I can chop down 
trees with my own hands.
من المُحال أن أتمكّن 
.من تقطيعِ الأشجّار بيديّ
No podría talar un árbol
con estas manitas.
No podría talar un árbol
con estas manitas.
je n’arriverais jamais
à couper un arbre.
Não vou conseguir derrubar árvores
com estas mãozinhas...
Вряд ли у меня выйдет повалить дерево.
