She was disappointed. "Maybe the child did not listen properly," she thought. She repeated, "Admin, listen carefully. If I give you one orange and one orange and one orange , how many oranges will you have?"

This time with an exaggerated excitement and twinkling in her eyes she asked, "If I give you one Grape and one Grape and one Grape, then how many you will have?"

Seeing the teacher happy, Admin calculated on his fingers again. She wanted her new approach to succeed. With a hesitating smile young Admin enquired, "Three?"

The teacher now had a victorious smile. Her approach had finally succeeded. She wanted to congratulate herself. But one last thing remained. Once again she asked him, "Now if I give you one orange and one orange and one more orange how many will you have?"

Admin answered, "Five"
