原文
"Yesterday I was trying to teach Lottie Wright to do addition. I said,
'If you had three candies in one hand and two in the other, how many
would you have altogether?' 'A mouthful,' said Lottie. And in the
nature study class, when I asked them to give me a good reason why toads
shouldn't be killed, Benjie Sloane gravely answered, 'Because it would
rain the next day.'
