"Each finger has a number. Start from the thumb. Like this—one, two, three, four, five." She touched each of her fingers one by one and showed him gently.
"Now try with me."
Karl followed, touching his fingers slowly. "One… two… three… four… five…"
"Good!" Ruby smiled brightly. "See? You're not bad at all. You just needed a little help."
Karl's eyes lit up. "That's… easy…"
"Yes!" Ruby clapped softly. "And now your fingers are your number team. If you forget, they'll help you."
Karl looked at his hands with new respect. "Sorry, fingers… I didn't know you were smart."
Milo giggled. "They were just waiting for you to notice!"
Even Julian let out a small laugh, and Adrian though quiet blinked slowly, as if approving the moment in his own silent way.
"Alright! That's for toady I just want to see everyone level and from now I will teach you all anything after dinner and all day you guys have to revision, okay?" Ruby asked and everyone nodded in yes.
