The trio lived in a farmhouse, with many tall trees that reaped delicious goodies.
The sun was very hot, while the birds moved from one tree to the next hoping to get bits of peaches. There were the two granny girls, Loge and Rele, very focused on their schoolwork since it is on a weekday.

It is mid-summer, and the peaches are ready for market she was requested two hundred peaches. What a sad moment for granny because she cannot count.

Granny decided to take off as many peaches as she can from the tree, she brought four containers and sorted them accordingly: the ones good for market, rotten peaches, unripe peaches, and those eaten by birds.

Granny: "Oh, dear girls! I'm so glad you're here. We need to get these peaches packed and counted for the market."
Loge: "I'll do it! I'll group them in tens.!"
Rele: "I'll group them in fives.''
Granny: "Ah, you're both so clever!
The end.
