FAQ
Why did the wooden bed or frame made by the carpenter not match Rani’s measurement?
Because the carpenter’s handspan was larger than little Rani’s handspan, showing why two people’s body measurements can differ.
What three kinds of measurement are covered in Chapter 7 Rani’s Gift?
Length (using handspans, footsteps, and strips), weight (heavy vs light on a balance), and capacity (how many cups fill a jug or bottle).
