The narrator asks the child if she ever met anything when she was a child. The child says she didn't, and the narrator tells her that it's not like the house smells like a house on fire. The narrator then takes the child to the bathroom to wash her clothes. She tells the child that she's a good girl, and that the hermit kid is not a bad one. The girl asks where her clothes are, and she tells the narrator that she needs to change her clothes, because they're all the same color as her husband's old ones. She then tells the girl that she should try on the new one, because it looks good, but it doesn't fit her like the old one did . Finally, the girl tells the story of how she and her older sister used to play hide-and-seek together, and how the girl is now her elder sister.
