About This Chapter
The chapter opens with a description of the Pick-Ups, which are a recurring phenomenon in which a person is unable to pick up a random object. When the person picks up a plush toy, the pick-up stops. The person who picks up the toy must hold it down for a long time before it picks up again. The trick is that the person must hold the toy down for long periods of time. The next day, the person will have to do the same trick again. This time, however, the trick will be repeated many times. For example, if the person opens the front door 15 times, he will release eight pieces of wood. If the person breaks a brand new glass, he must drop a cat on his foot. If he holds water in his mouth for one hour, he can hold it for 28 minutes. In the living room, he holds a cat doll festival rice cakes. If a man is 34 years old and 7 months old, he makes a stack of ten dictionaries. The dictionary is a reference to the number of times a person has to repeat the same ritual or chain reaction in order to cure a disease. The cure for the Pick Ups is the same for each person, but each person's reaction will be different. This is why the trick is so effective, the narrator tells us. The narrator then tells us that he is going to take a bear hunt to see if the fight is good or bad.
