[00:14.62]A few days later Sophie receives another letter
[00:17.05]from the philosopher.
[00:19.13]In it,he(or she!)tells Sophie more about
[00:22.82]the white rabbit and the magic trick.
[00:25.41]He says people are born at the end
[00:26.98]of the rabbit's hairs,
[00:28.11]and think about the impossibility of the trick.

[00:47.57]When Sophie's Mum got home at five o'clock,
[00:50.36]Sophie started to ask her questions.

[01:00.62]that she didn't answer at first.
[01:02.86]Sophie was usually doing her homework
[01:04.51]when she got home.
[01:06.91]"I suppose I do,sometimes,"she said.
[01:11.37]"Sometimes?Yes,but don't you think
[01:13.30]it's amazing that the world exists at all?"
