"Amazing! I'm impressed." Su Wen played along and gave her a big thumbs up. She did not want to think about Little Sister Su's predicament--how could she only count to twenty, using her fingers and toes no less?! Su Wen was still at a loss for words.
She wanted to be a good role model, so she did not tease Little Sister Su for her shortcomings.
However, Sixth Sister did not share her reservations; she was unwilling to let Little Sister Su off the hook!
"Big Sister, you must know by now, but Little Sister Su can only count to twenty. Why don't you let me teach her so she won't be disadvantaged when school starts."
"That's a great idea. I'm all for it!" Su Wen was extremely pleased; she had worried over nothing. Sixth Sister was a good child.
"I don't want it!" Little Sister Su cried out in shock.
