Biret wakes up to strange noises coming from the yard - maybe her father is chopping wood. She hurries to the window an gasps when she sees what he's doing. I have to get outside before an accident happens, she thinks. But she barely makes it to the front door before knocking over the water bucket standing there. She never reaches her father.
What was the accident Birest was so afraid of?
