The three little girls
Diggy, Dilly, and Daisy, walked into their study. Miss Lisa was waiting for them. "Hello girls, today we will talk about the days in a week. Diggy, tell us the names of the days in a week."
Diggy, the youngest of all the three, looked at the teacher 😳.
"Come on, speak. Last week, I taught you the names of the seven days. Start telling them"
Diggy said," Mon is a day, Tue is a day..."
"Stop, stop. What are you saying? Didn't you learn the names properly? "
"Yes Miss Lisa, she did try but couldn't speak it well. So, I tried to make things a little easier for her," said Daisy smartly. Miss Lisa was astonished. "Dear Daisy, have you completed your homework? "
"Oh, yes, I have." Daisy handed her Math homework to the teacher.
On the page was written- seven plus one is equal to seventeen and seventy-one.
"Daisy, what have you done? Does seven plus one add to seventeen and seventy-one? How did you write this?"
"Oh yes, I did give a thought to it. But Miss, as you had given me two numbers seven and one, I thought of writing it in two ways. Seventeen and seventy-one, that's all!"
