Directions To Solve

 

Even after completing the first year at school, Alia retained most of the pleasures and hobbies he had brought with him from home, e.g. interest in butterflies and fossils. Once her grandmother had presented her with a fine bird's eggs cabinet, but she could never bring herself to risk in climbing trees. Once or twice she dissected dead birds to overcome her horror of the operation. It may be her envy of those physically unlike her that brought on a phase during which she drew athletes with a big belly and thick necks. Again she pitied herself for what she could never be.
