That night, the grandmother informs the boy about various ways to spot a witch; witches have claws instead of fingers, and hide them using gloves; witches also have deformed feet and are bald, which they hide using shoes and wigs; finally, witches have a purple tint in their pupils and grow their nostrils to help smell out children. The next day, the boy, looking for a place to train Daisy, scouts the hotel and meets a boy named Bruno, who's parents chatise for being a messy and dirty child.
