More Than Anything Else

| the letters of a language arranged in the usual order, not as they are in words | |
| a small, roughly built house | |
| gaining knowledge or skill | |
| done by magic or as if by magic | |
| sheets of paper printed every day or week, telling the news, carrying advertisements, and having stories, poems, and so on | |
| stories | |
| barrels | containers with round flat tops and bottoms, and sides that curve out slightly |
| coopers | people who make or repair barrels |
| lantern | a portable lamp with a case to protect light from rain or wind |
| saltworks | a plant where salt is made on a commercial scale |
