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.
Main, keep your mouth shut, 
or you'll bite your tongue.
.ماين، أغلقي فمك وإلاّ عضضتِ لسانك
Myne, Mund zu, sonst beißt du
dir noch auf die Zunge.
Myne, si hablas
podrías morderte la lengua.
Myne, si hablas
podrías morderte la lengua.
Myne!
Myne! Pare de falar,
ou vai acabar mordendo a língua!
Майн, не разговаривай, 
а то прикусишь язык.
