The cat asks the old man why he allowed her to go to school. The old man explains that she is still a toddler, and that she needs to learn how to learn. He compares her to Cong-cong, who was forced by his parents to go live with the elders so that they would have enough money to buy their own home and support their family. The cat wonders why he would want her to be in front of such an important person, and wonders if she will grow up to be an adult someday.
