She is so happy that she counts all day long.

At breakfast, there are steamed buns on the table. “One, two, three, four, five, six!” She eats one. “Five!”

The lift is full of people. “One person, èr people…” Mum says, “It’s liǎng people.”

“Two people, three people… eight people!” All eight of them smile at her.

At the shop, Mum buys a cup. “Ten yuan.” Nana pays: “One yuan, two yuan… ten yuan!”

At night, Nana can’t sleep. Mum says, “Try counting sheep.”

“One sheep, two sheep… ten sheep!”

Nana sits up: “Mum, what comes after ten?”
