Mountain Girl lives in the countryside but works in the city. For her commute, she has made herself a wooden scooter that works in two different ways. Usually she rides the scooter using the wheels, but sometimes, when there is deep snow in the mountains, she attaches skis beneath the wheels. Then she just zips down the mountain like lightning.
