The narrator tells us that he's going to run to get his aunt's book back. He's so excited that he almost runs into the narrator's twin sister, who is so elegant and kind that he thinks she's his auntie. The narrator is annoyed by the book, which he thinks is just a silly novel. He says that his brother has said that he always sleeps in class, but he forgot that they are still at odds. He also says that he wants to help his brother, who has a terrible accident. He accidentally dropped a hairpin into a lake one day, and his brother ended up in the water. It's all her fault, she says, because her mom gave her the hairpin as a gift, and she accidentally dropped it in the lake while her brother was trying to retrieve it. She's terrified of what happened, but she can teach her brother how to swim. She says that her brother is a good brother, a good student, and a good husband, and that he will be a good man in the future.
