Right, right, in her walker. I thought she'd killed herself that
time.
:17:03
She only got a bump, though.
:17:07
Well, that's what is affecting her now.
:17:09
Right, that's got to be it.
:17:12
Not at all--she's just incredibly weak at arithmetic.
:17:18
She must be talking in class.
:17:21
Dividing fractions is quite easy if you pay attention, of course. Even
a complete idiot can do it.
:17:26
I'm worried about her future. She is going to be in the sixth grade,
after all.
:17:32
But how can I imagine dividing two-thirds of an apple by a quarter?
:17:43
But it's got to be right--dividing two thirds of an apple means
you...
:17:55
Even now, it's still tough when I think about it, you know. Dividing
fractions.
:18:02
Hmm...
:18:08
It's true. We farmers should've been more picky, too.
:18:13
We've always gone with the larger flow, and just followed the big
cities--we've lost our identities.
:18:20
So we need to re-think what we consider ``real wealth'' and become
more fussy about traditional farming again!
:18:30
...you caught me off-guard. I guess you meant ``organic farming'' by
that, right?
:18:38
Uh-huh.
:18:39
Actually, it's what my ``Sempai'' [older colleague] told me, but it's
the way I feel, too.
:18:46
I think it's great you're keeping your memory of being picky about
dividing fractions as an important one.
:18:56
Oh, no, I didn't mean it to sound like that.
