Our good friend Alya prepares for future encounters with quicksand. From her previous experience, she realized that despite her legs are strong enough for skiing, they are not strong enough for pulling them out of the heavy, thick, and sticky mess.

We know that all her efforts are futile. Could be, the next time when she will meet quicksand she will be wearing hiking boots, and no force would be enough to pull the stuck boots out of the mire. It will be the job for her friends to dig her out. Or maybe, they will be unable to free her and will nothing to do but to call the rescuers to save Alya. Could be, it will be not quicksand but some other trap that will catch Alya and will hold her with dead grip. And the strength of her legs will mean nothing. Who knows?

Anyway, the shapely legs are great. So, good luck, Alya!

This is a little bit of interior of the apartment where Alya lives with her parents. As we can see, Alya is watched by her favorite plush Totoro. When he is watching, Alya works hard.

EDIT: I re-uploaded this picture 10 Dec 2009 with the changed title, a greater resolution and some editing of Alya's feet.
