“Because it’s so ugly,” Amy replied directly. Then, she added, “Besides, it came out of an egg. I’ve never seen such an ugly duckling.”
“It came out of an egg? If it’s a duckling, then it’s really very ugly!”

“Meow!” Ugly Duckling retorted helplessly.
“I want to sing a song for you and Teacher Luna…” The children’s recognition really raised Amy’s confidence. She took a glance at Mag smiling outside the window, and continued, “It’s called ‘a little girl with mushrooms.’”
“I don’t think she can sing any songs,” Ignatsu muttered in a low voice. Daphne gave him an angry glare, and he immediately fell silent, but he still didn’t believe that Amy could sing anything nice.
“Go ahead, Amy. I can’t wait to hear it,” Luna said, smiling.
“A little girl goes to collect mushrooms, she carries a big bamboo basket…” Amy sang carefully, holding Ugly Duckling in her arms.
All the children were attracted by the merry song and Amy’s soft voice. The sound struck love into their hearts and brought merry smiles onto their faces.
“Wonderful!” Ignatsu exclaimed, his eyes widened, his bean sprout cheerfully waving side to side.
“Amy’s so incredible,” Daphne said, resting her chin in her hands. She was extremely fond of Amy.
After she had finished, Amy looked down at the children, abashed and expectant. She didn’t know how she had performed.
“Bravo!” Ignatsu said, clapping his hands. Then the other children cheered and clapped.
Amy smiled happily. It was the first time that she had been recognized by so many people, and they were her peers, no less. She felt so delighted.
Luna nodded, smiling. “Yes. Amy sang very well. Thank you, Amy, for your excellent performance.”
Amy nodded cheerfully. “It’s my pleasure.” Then she saw the problem on the blackboard. She hesitated a moment. “Teacher Luna, I know the answer to this multiplication problem,” she said, looking up at Luna.
“I don’t think so. It’s very difficult. Only I know how to do it,” a little boy in blue and white said from the first row, pride written all over his face.
“I find it easy,” Amy said solemnly, gazing at the boy.

Parmer rose quickly to his feet. “How… How… How do you know?!” He looked at Amy and then at the answer on his exercise book, shocked.
Amy gave a slight nod. “By calculating.”
“Great! Amy has got it right!” Daphne exclaimed, smiling happily.
“I don’t believe her. She must have got lucky,” Parmer said. “Teacher Luna, please give us five more problems, and let’s see who can work out the answers faster.” He felt his position as a math genius was in danger.
“As you wish,” Amy said coldly.
Luna had planned to de-escalate the situation. She took a look at Mag, who was very calm, and nodded after hesitating a moment. Then she wrote five multiplication problems on the blackboard.
