The young master asks where ali is, and the girl tells him that she sprained her ankle, and that she's going to get her back. The master explains that it's his fault that he sprained his ankle, but he's also going to make a magic circle around the injury so that she won't be able to get out of it. He also explains that both the smoothness of the brush and the hardness of the paint are important to a writer. He says that a writer puts his ideas in his characters, which is the same as a painter putting his ideas into a painting. The girl asks the master to teach her a little calligraphy, but the master says that he hasn't practiced for a while, so he can't teach her. He asks her to go outside every time he paints, and she says that she would like to stay with him.
