31 confidently, " Four!"

32 correct answer, three．She was disappointed． "Maybe the child did not listen
33 " she thought． She 34 , "Laiq, listen carefully． If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?"
Laiq had seen the
35 on his teacher' s face． He
36 again on his fingers． But within him he was also
37 the answer that would make the teacher happy． This time hesitatingly he replied, "Four． "
The disappointment stayed on the teacher' s face． Suddenly she
38 that Laiq liked strawberries．She thought maybe he didn’t like apples and that was why he couldn’t answer the question．This time with an excitement in her
39 she asked, " If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one strawberry, then how many you will have?"
Seeing the teacher
40 , young Laiq calculated on his fingers again． There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher． She wanted her new
41 to succeed．
42 a hesitating smile young Laiq replied, "Three?"
The teacher now had a
43 smile． Her approach had succeeded． She wanted to
44 herself．But one last thing remained．
45 she asked him, "Now if I give you one apple and one apple and one more apple how many will you have?"
Confidently Laiq answered, "Four!" The teacher was
46 "How Laiq, how?" she demanded in a little annoyed voice．
In a voice that was
47 and hesitating young Laiq replied, " Because I already have one
48 in my bag． "
