届かない

痒いところに中々手が届かない経験は、皆さんも一度や二度はあるでしょう。しかし彼女ネリーの場合、腕はいっぱいあるのにみんな長いので背中に全く手が届きません。そのため常に孫の手がなくてはならず、いつもぼやいています。

I'm sure you've all had the experience once or twice of not being able to reach an itchy spot. But in Nellie's case, she has so many arms and they are all so long that she can't reach her back at all. So she is always in need of her grandchildren's hands and is always complaining about it.
