The girl asks her father why he is so excited about the impending typhoon. He tells her that other families have had their windows covered with tape to protect them from the wind. He says that the wind is not blowing on their windows, because the earth's rotation makes the typhoon "contrarotate" , so it blows from the east to the west. He explains that the apartment is too old for a new window, so they are going to have one later on. The girl wonders why she is on the other side of the house, and he tells her not to worry about it. She tells him that she has a giant flying cockroach in her arms, and she tells him to kill it.
