Then a while later, Flora came back, but she looked a little unfloated.

"What's wrong?

"... well, I talked to your mother and asked her, 'I can't give you a cloth, but I can sell it,' she says, 'but it's going to cost you a lot of money..."

Well, I was expecting that to happen because even cloth is going to cost a lot, but how much?

"How much is it due to this?

"Uh, was it five copper coins on the cheapest cloth a meter square?

Uh-huh. That's about it, no problem at all, but with colors and stuff on it, that means it's more expensive, right? If you think about it, don't you see Flora hesitating or not? 'Cause I don't think you know what I'm doing. You might be thinking about not having a lot of money that far...

Do you have any other good ideas with that in mind? When I thought about it, I remembered Laura telling me that it was because there were a lot of pieces of cloth. Then maybe we should use that piece of cloth to make something out of it? I thought.

"Then why don't we just make something out of a piece of cloth or something? Because I think I can make something small."

"Then it looks fine. Your mother will tell you. Oh, and I forgot to tell you earlier, but you got the yarn right, so you're fine!

Flora left the room again when she said so with joy. Yur whined about this as he watched the thing.

"I kind of feel bad about letting you come and go to Flora..."

"Could it be? But Flora didn't seem to enjoy it?

"... could indeed be so"

Flora came back with many pieces of cloth in the bag as we talked about it.

"Lena, you got it!?

"Good for you."

"Yeah. But what do you make with this?

"Uh-huh. In the meantime, would you like to make one of these hair fasteners?

Take off the shrub that was putting my hair together while I said that. Then Flora and Youre stared at me. Look at that, is that it? Did you even do something weird? and speak with a little confusion.

"What's wrong?

"" Hey, it's nothing "

That's what they both said and shook their faces sideways. I wonder what happened to them both?

"Well, more than that, do you really teach me how to make that hair fastening?

Flora asked me if I could really teach her how to make this hair fastening. It's nothing big... and told Flora about it with that in mind.

"It's nothing big, so you don't have to worry about it, okay?

"Oh, really? But around here, I've never seen that hair fastening..."

When you say that, maybe you've never seen anything like this hair fastening? I thought. Either that or if it's just a string or a cloth tying kind of thing, I've seen it, but maybe I've never seen anyone else?

"Well, don't you make more than that?

When I said that, we both nodded. I started teaching two people how to make it.
