Tom, do you know?Tomorrow, a new boy is coming to school.Tomorrow, there will be a new boy in our class.

Yes, I know.Now there are nine of us.Tomorrow, there will be one more.

Pat

That makes ten, doesn’t it?Nine and one is ten, isn’t it?

Tom

Yes, that’s right.When the new boy comes, there will be ten of us.You can count very well now, can’t you?

Pat

Yes, I can.And I can count to much more than ten.Much, much more.It’s not difficult – it’s easy.

Tom

It’s easy for you.It’s not easy for me.Where is your black and white duck today?I can’t see it.

Pat

It’s over there, in front of the trees.It’s watching our friends playing.

Tom

Oh, yes.I can see it now.When we go into the classroom, where will your duck go?Will it stay in the school garden, or will it go away?

Pat

It won’t go away.It will stay here.It will stay outside our classroom and wait for me to come out in the afternoon.When it is time for me to come out, it will run to see me.

Tom

Does your duck know what time you come out of school?

Pat

Yes, I think it does.I think my duck remembers where I am, and I think it remembers what time I come out of school.

Tom

Really?Your duck can remember a lot, can’t it?

Pat

Yes, it can.I think my duck can remember more than some of the children in our classroom.

Tom

No, that can’t be right… can it?

對你來說是很簡單。這對我來說不太容易。今天你黑白相間的鴨子在哪兒？我沒看見它。
