This chapter opens with a description of a sculptured boy who is listening intently to a lesson. The boy, who is named Yair, is a student in the 10th grade. He is a hard worker and enjoys carving. He says that the carving is in his brain and that he did not expect to see such a scene in his life. He also says that he will probably write his name down many times in a course of study. He explains that the stamp is not very convenient because it has to be carried with ink pads. He adds that he created the stamp by himself and that it makes his life full of happiness. Yair asks him if he likes sports. He replies that he does not like sports because they do not require human force. He then says that his favorite activity is to ride a bicycle.
