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.
I'd probably be on cloud nine 
if I could read an actual book.
وسوف أطير من السّعادة إذا استطعت
.قراءة كتاب حقيقيّ
Ein Buch lesen zu können,
würde mich noch viel glücklicher machen.
Y me alegraré mucho más
cuando pueda leer un libro.
Y me alegraré mucho más
cuando pueda leer un libro.
Ce sera encore mieux
quand je pourrai lire des livres.
credo lo sarò ancora di più
quando riuscirò a leggere dei libri...
Se eu puder ler um livro,
acho que ficaria nas nuvens!
Что же будет, когда мне попадётся книга?
