First, in chapter six, Matt wanted to repay Saknis for his care and provisions while taking care of him. The problem he faced was he had nothing to give Saknis but a book that the Indians could not read. Since it would help Saknis if his grandson Attean could read English, Matt agreed that he would repay him by teaching Attean to read.

A second problem occured in chapter seven. Attean arrived for his reading lesson but learning the alphabet one letter at a time proved too frustrating for Attean. The lesson abruptly ended. Matt solved the problem the next time that Attean arrived. In chapter eight, Matt started a lesson by capturing Attean's attention reading "Robinson Crusoe" to him. This solved Matt's problem of how to teach Attean to read.
Another problem occurred in chapter ten when the boys were fishing. Matt could not fish with the spear Attean gave him and used his hook. However, the hook broke off and was lost. Attean solved the problem of the lost hook by teaching Matt how to make hooks from twigs.
