If someone wants to answer, just raise your hand and wait for the teacher’s permission. They were learning about colors. They read that sunlight is made up of seven colors. They wondered how a white light from the sun has seven colors.

asked what numbers start and end in the same place? No response for a while. One of the three raised his hand. They all looked. They are the

0 and 8. Because they start and end in the same place. The teacher was amused by the clever answer.

Another child asked: have you seen a pot full of rubies? Guess! all hands went up to answer this question. This time, the teacher preferred that the shy boy respond. The shy boy was ready to accept the challenge. This is grenade, he said. They all agreed with the answer in unison.
