Bird in a Cage 8

I can't use this… Mechanism.

Maria called it a… Toaster.

She told me it burned bread.

I thought it was a stupid idea at first, then she put some jam on it and gave some to me.

I didn't think it was so stupid anymore.

But that doesn't change the fact I don't know how to work it.

Maria advised me not to stick metal things in it or it would hurt like Nel's thunder flare.

I didn't believe her.

But now I do.

Then Peppita… Bounced into the room and noticed my anguish.

"Oh, you don't know how to use a toaster? Here, you put the bread in there, and then you push this knob all the way down."

We wasted a minute or two waiting, but it came up.

I scowled when it came up cooked.

She is more advanced than I am.
