Chapter 385: Self-Taught
Countless?
The other five little girls widened their eyes in surprise.
Sixie, puzzled, scratched her head and asked, "How many is countless?"
Fifthie said, "Countless means an indeterminate number, a lot... It is said that every time people have sex, there are over a hundred million children that come out of their dad's belly."
Oh my goodness!
Not only were the other five little girls shocked, but all the adults present were also stunned.
How did Fifthie know about this? Who taught her?
Forthie immediately raised a question, "How is it possible to have over a hundred million children? Wouldn't mommy's belly burst?"
Fifthie said, "No, no! Mommy's belly can't hold that many, it can only hold a few.
Although these children are small, they are born understanding that mommy's belly can't hold that many, so they swim desperately and scramble to squeeze into the little rooms inside mommy's belly.
As long as they manage to crawl into mommy's belly before the rooms are sealed, mommy will raise them and give birth to them."
"What about those who don't get in?" Sixie asked.
Fifthie sighed deeply like a little adult and said, "Well, they can only wait outside the door to die! It is said to be survival of the fittest!"
"Those poor children who died..." Sixie remarked.
"Yes, they are so pitiful..." Thirdie added.
"But mommy's belly can only hold one little room, so it can't accommodate too many children," Secondie said.
"So, we can only blame them for not being outstanding enough. No wonder it's called survival of the fittest," Forthie concluded.
Eldie chimed in, "In that case, the six of us are very exceptional. We defeated over a hundred million opponents back then!"
"Yes, we six are the best!"
"We defeated over a hundred million opponents!"
"We are the most outstanding children..."
The children's words left the adults dumbfounded.
Ivy and Alexander were curious, how did Fifthie acquire this knowledge?
She hasn't even been to kindergarten, who taught her?
Eldie quickly ran to her room and brought back a pencil and a piece of paper. "Fifthie, can you draw the children in daddy's belly for us to see?"
Fifthie decisively picked up the pencil and drew an irregular oval on the paper, then added a cute little curved line behind it.
In an adorable voice, she explained, "See, it looks like this, just like a tadpole."
"But why is it like this?" Eldie couldn't quite understand. "Why don't the children in daddy's belly have hands and feet?"
Fifthie replied, "Because they haven't been nurtured by mommy. They need to spend ten months in mommy's belly to grow hands and feet..."
"What does nurtured mean?" Eldie asked.
"It means being pregnant..." Fifthie felt that explaining was getting complicated, so she ran to the study in the villa and grabbed a book.
Flipping to the article titled "Where Did I Come From?" and pointing at the illustrations of cartoon boys and girls, she said, "Look here, there are pictures and clear descriptions in the illustrations. However, I don't recognize many words, so I rely on guessing for a lot of the content."
All the adults were extremely amazed. It turns out this child is self-taught!
Aside from Fifthie, the other five little girls were all eager to flip through the magazine.
Alexander and Ivy exchanged a glance and suddenly understood everything.
Fifthie possesses the Magic Pearl within her, so no matter what book she reads, she has the skill of photographic memory. She simply doesn't recognize some words, so she guessed and muddled through the content.
It seems necessary for them to bring out the "Ancient European Dictionary" for the children to see.
As long as they can remember all the words in the dictionary, along with their pronunciations and meanings, what book will they not understand in the future?
Not only the "Ancient European Dictionary," dictionaries from various countries can also be shown to the children.
After going through all the dictionaries, they can then read classics from various countries, and even all the courses from elementary school to university. It won't take long for these six children to become prodigies fluent in global languages.
Ivy leaned towards Alexander and asked softly, "Since the children have such impressive self-taught abilities, do they still need to go to school?"
