:09:01
Huh...?
:09:03
You have to switch the numerator with the denominator first, and then
multiply it together. Could you do it like you were taught?
:09:10
Hmm, I don't really remember, but I wasn't very weak in arithmetic.
:09:17
Oh, I see...
:09:18
Yep.
:09:18
That's good. You probably don't remember because you could do them
with little trouble, I suspect.
:09:24
Uh-huh. But why do you ask?
:09:29
It seems like people who could divide fractions easily would have
little trouble with their life after that, too.
:09:35
Huh?
:09:37
There was a modest girl named ``Rie-chan.'' Though she wasn't really
good at arithmetic, she switched the numerator and denominator as
told and then got 100%!
:09:48
Since then, she grew up doing what she was told, and had no troubles.
:09:54
Now she's a mother, with two kids.
:09:55
Hmmm.
:09:58
I wasn't very good, actually. Though I am weak-minded, I get picky
about things.
:10:25
Uh...um, you know...be-before this test, you know?
:10:34
We had art class...and, you know...we did ``blow pictures.''
:10:42
``Blow pictures?''
:10:45
R...right. You drop paint on drawing paper, blow like this:
``phooooo'', and you make patterns that way.
:10:57
And so?
