Troubled?
very
Relax.
Do not disturb me. I need to decide on a course of action to take.
Are you? And are you doing it properly?
Not properly!
What do you mean "not properly"?
One needs to take a teaspoon three times a day before meals
Quiet!
To decide on which course to take, you must close your eyes, raise your head...
And open your mouth!
But why?
So that something delicious can fall in!
Delicious things don't fall in your mouth by themselves
It's necessary, to raise your head, close your eyes and... then what?
- What? - What?
Think!!
Well? Have you taken it yet?
Hold on, hold on, hold on... No.
You're not thinking right.
And I? Am I thinking right?
Because I can even do this...
Try this part on top... this below... like that... now bow slightly to one side...
Right!
I decided on what course to take!
I got to the outcome that I need to figure.
Hurrah! I love to make figures
Ugh, Monkey, what have you done now!
Keep her contained!
What are you doing?
Making figures!
But he means another kind of figuring!
What other kind?
Calculating!
But then show me. Show me this other kind right away!
That's just what I don't know!
Hello... I beg your pardon.
Little Elephant, what kinds of figuring do you know?
I know: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
And are those calculating sorts of figuring?
Yes - it's called math.
- And how do you do them? - Well...
...take away, add...
And what do you figure this is? It's just stealing.
Who, who, who explains things in such a poor way?!
Me, begging your pardon.
I will explain it myself.
First, divide the bananas.
Two each.
Thank you.
Two each!
Now...
We'll need a visual aid
Hold on, what kind of aid?
A visual one... to put on display!
Oh, you should put me on display!
I will be your beautiful helper
A visual aid!!
I will aid any visual! You can look and look at me, and never want to stop looking!
I am your beautiful - elegant looker
And I know three techniques: La-la, lu-lu, li-li.
So that for three weeks, You will not sleep or eat
But only look at me - look, look, look!
Cannot, cannot, cannot, cannot, Cannot keep your eyes away!
I am your beautiful - elegant looker!
Elegant, elegant, elegant, just beyond comparison.
Very well done, but I don't get it!
Excuse me!
You'll soon get it!
I shall now explain the activities of calculation named "mathematics"!
The first activity is addition
In addition, everything increases
The bananas too?
Everything.
Wow - Mathematics!
Now that's a good sort of figuring!
Stand there!
We give Monkey a banana
Come on!
Thank you.
Now another.
Fine, take it.
Well, what's the sum?
Two and a half.
Hmm, can't be! Hmm, it should be four.
Well, it isn't.
She's eating them, if you'll excuse me!
Oh, who does a thing like that?!
Everyone that gets bananas
Hmm, well, good - let it be two.
Now let's subtract.
Boa!
Huh? What?
Take one banana away from Monkey.
I'll take it away right away!
And what do we get?
In my opinion, a fight, begging your pardon.
Let go!
Stop... this is not scholarly.
I don't like this subtracting.
Yes, probably multiplication will be more interesting.
Interesting... but there won't be any multiplication today.
- There won't? - Well, why not?
The bananas are all gone.
Will the bananas go again tomorrow?
Maybe.
If the weather is good.
I suggest that when we do math tomorrow...
we start with dividing and only after that do the rest.
