The caption of the drawing in the Book is "mi na'e lumci lo karce". A scale is 
fairly obvious ("to'e lumci lo karce" would mean getting mud all over it), but 
having an accident is not on the scale. Also, one can say "na'ebo le mlatu", 
and the cat is not on a scale (unless the vet is weighing him).
