A young woman in college has moved into a certain old apartment building. As she's unpacking her belongings, she sees a spot on the wooden floor where a mismatched board has been added. Curious, she lifts the board to find a dirt surface with a pair of rusty scissors stuck in the earth...
With shaking hands, 
she reached for the board...
...قصدت اللوّح ويدها ترتعش
Mit zittrigen Händen
griff sie nach der Platte …
Extendió las manos
sobre el suelo, temblando.
Extendió las manos
sobre el suelo, temblando.
Elle tend ses mains tremblantes
vers le plancher.
La ragazza allungò le mani tremanti verso la tavola...
Com as mãos trêmulas,
pôs a mão no assoalho.
