Jonas gets the painful memory of a broken leg from a sledding accident. Jonas is feeling more and more apart from everyone he knows, except The Giver. Everyday of training now includes some pain, and Jonas is beginning to realize how unfair his situation is. The Giver talks about why a receiver is needed for the community.
Jonas' father is preparing for the release of an identical twin to be born soon. Father is responsible for choosing the baby to be released, hopefully the choice will be an easy one. Jonas' father also talks about Gabe and how he is still having trouble sleeping. Jonas volunteers to have Gabe's crib in his room for the night, so his family can sleep. Gabe wakes during the night and Jonas accidentally gives Gabe the memory of a soothing sailboat ride. Gabe wakes again during the night and Jonas is able to soothe him back to sleep with the memories. Jonas decides not to tell The Giver.
