2. He overhears that the family has savings, but its members still need to earn money.
3. Gregor begins crawling on walls and ceilings, while hiding himself beneath a sheet to spare Grete distress.
4. Grete and their mother clear furniture from his room, but their mother’s objections renew Gregor’s attachment to his human belongings.
5. Gregor protects a picture on the wall; his mother sees him and faints, and Grete shuts him away from her.
6. His father pursues him and throws apples; one lodges in his back as his mother begs for his life.

На что обратить внимание
