In this chapter, the reader is introduced to a new character, the Moth. The Moth is an insect that lives in the forest. He is very fond of the boy in the story, who is a wizard. Moth tells the boy that he is just like him, just like a sharp-looking insect, and that he saved the sparrow from drowning in the river. Moth says that he admires the boy because he is brave and gentle. He says that when he is with the Moth, he feels relaxed because he and the insect look alike. He tells the Moth that he does not want his feelings to affect the feelings of the other person. He worries that the girl will destroy the most important things in his life. He thinks that if she likes a person, her happiness is more important than her love for the moth. He feels that if his words make the girl feel better, then he too is happy.
