There
you
go
!
"
Hare-Lip
cried
hotly
.
"
Cut
out
the
funny
stuff
and
talk
sensible
.
What
's
interested
?
You
talk
like
a
baby
that
do
n't
know
how
.
"
"
Let
him
alone
,
"
Edwin
urged
,
"
or
he
'll
get
mad
and
wo
n't
talk
at
all
.
Skip
the
funny
places
.
We
'll
catch
on
to
some
of
what
he
tells
us
.
"
"
Let
her
go
,
Granser
,
"
Hoo-Hoo
encouraged
;
for
the
old
man
was
already
maundering
about
the
disrespect
for
elders
and
the
reversion
to
cruelty
of
all
humans
that
fell
from
high
culture
to
primitive
conditions
.
The
tale
began
.
"
There
were
very
many
people
in
the
world
in
those
days
.
San
Francisco
alone
held
four
millions
--
"
"
What
is
millions
?
"
Edwin
interrupted
.
Granser
looked
at
him
kindly
.
"
I
know
you
can
not
count
beyond
ten
,
so
I
will
tell
you
.
Hold
up
your
two
hands
.
On
both
of
them
you
have
altogether
ten
fingers
and
thumbs
.
Very
well
.
I
now
take
this
grain
of
sand
--
you
hold
it
,
Hoo-Hoo
.
"
He
dropped
the
grain
of
sand
into
the
lad
's
palm
and
went
on
.
"
Now
that
grain
of
sand
stands
for
the
ten
fingers
of
Edwin
.
I
add
another
grain
.
That
's
ten
more
fingers
.
And
I
add
another
,
and
another
,
and
another
,
until
I
have
added
as
many
grains
as
Edwin
has
fingers
and
thumbs
.
That
makes
what
I
call
one
hundred
.
Remember
that
word
--
one
hundred
.
Now
I
put
this
pebble
in
Hare-Lip
's
hand
.
It
stands
for
ten
grains
of
sand
,
or
ten
tens
of
fingers
,
or
one
hundred
fingers
.
I
put
in
ten
pebbles
.
They
stand
for
a
thousand
fingers
.
I
take
a
mussel-shell
,
and
it
stands
for
ten
pebbles
,
or
one
hundred
grains
of
sand
,
or
one
thousand
fingers
...
.
"
And
so
on
,
laboriously
,
and
with
much
reiteration
,
he
strove
to
build
up
in
their
minds
a
crude
conception
of
numbers
.
As
the
quantities
increased
,
he
had
the
boys
holding
different
magnitudes
in
each
of
their
hands
.
For
still
higher
sums
,
he
laid
the
symbols
on
the
log
of
driftwood
;
and
for
symbols
he
was
hard
put
,
being
compelled
to
use
the
teeth
from
the
skulls
for
millions
,
and
the
crab-shells
for
billions
.
It
was
here
that
he
stopped
,
for
the
boys
were
showing
signs
of
becoming
tired
.
"
There
were
four
million
people
in
San
Francisco
--
four
teeth
.
