*curiously* How did that someone know about that?

<--- Chris
because someone also taught him numbers

<--- Twilight

*thinks a while about that* But - there must have been a first person who knew about them - he or she must have learned that by him- or herself!

<---- Chris
Yes, but that is so long ago that no one knows who invented the numbers

<--- Twilight

*thinks about that* I see. I bet that person was very bored before he invented them! *nods* I just wonder - what else can you do with numbers?

<---- Chris

you can take 2 numbers and put them together to make a bigger number.

*makes an example for Twilight*

<--- Twilight

*thinks a while about it while stroking Shades*
I see. You just continue counting on one number as often as the second number tells you, right?

<---- Chris
Yes that's one thing, try practicing that

<--- Twilight

I'll do that - *scratches head, confused* But - that was not what I asked - I meant, what do you USE those numbers for? WHY do you count? Just to be less bored?

<--- Chris

Sometimes you use counting to see if everything is where it should be. So if someone has 10 chairs and he counts them every day, and one day a chair is gone, he counts to 9 and starts looking for the tenth chair.

*listening carefully* I see. *amazed* I didn't know that this is that complicated!

<--- Twilight

*jumps up and runs to Herby* Herby! I learned about numbers! *smiles and throws arms around his left leg*

<--- Vivian

*feels lonely*
