In a little town near a river, there lived a famous family that everyone knew. The dad was rich and liked helping poor families by giving them money.

He also liked helping kids who didn’t have much. He paid for their school things like books, uniforms, and pencils.

His kids were happy because of this, and they had lots of friends.

The youngest girl, named Petini, was just starting school.

She found it a bit hard, but she had a smart teacher named Miss Joan.

One day, in a counting lesson, Miss Joan put pencils, rulers, and pens on her desk.

She showed the kids how to say the numbers while pointing at the things.

She said, “One pencil, two rulers, three pens,” and so on until ten.

Then, she let the kids take some of the things and count them. In just three days, Petini and her friends could count the desks in their classroom.

They even went to the library with Miss Joan and counted the books.

By the end of the month, every kid could count, write, and say the numbers from one to ten.

The parents were happy, and Miss Joan got a raise in her pay.

This short story helps kids learn how to count.
