In this chapter, we learn that kula wants to know if claire will be able to learn to dance. He tells her that it's important to start dancing at an early age because it'll give her a solid foundation for dancing. Ooh, ouch! It's just her forehead hit the ground, and she's swelling up. She's fine, says kula, but she'll have to wait for her dad to see it. Worried, kula asks her if she'd like to go shopping with him. She doesn't want to go, but kula tells her to be careful, because he'll be late. Unsure of what to do with her, she asks kula if he's learned to dance, and kula says yes, but he'd rather spend his money on something else. Confused, she says that she wants to spend her time doing other things, like reading or playing with her cousins.
