It was two days before Christmas, and David wanted to give a card to everyone in his class. He opened the bag and looked 1. "What are you looking for?" his mum asked. "Ms. Ross gave us a 2 of everyone in the class," said David, "I can't find mine. If I don't have my list, I won't know what names to put on the cards."
"Take 3 out and we'll look together," suggested Mum. They shook out all his books and 4 all the pockets in his bag, but no Christmas list. "Now I can't give out cards at school," David said sadly.
"Don't 5 so easily," said Mum. She took a piece of paper and asked him how many children are in his class. "Seventeen," answered David. "I'll never 6 them all."
"Wait," said Mum, numbering the paper one to seventeen. "Now, who do you often play with?" "Brian, Todd and John." She wrote down their 7. "And who sits in the first row in your classroom?" "Hmm... Angie, Jill and Brad." David tried to remember what his 8 looked like and who sat where. "And Rebecca, Travis and Erin in the second row." David's mum wrote as fast as she could.
Now, they had 9 names. Who had he missed? David thought hard.
"Why don't you write out the 10 that you have names for?" said Mum. "Maybe you'll think of the 11 name while you're writing."
David picked out a card. He 12 it and then put it into the envelope. He did this sixteen times. "13 is missing?" One more time he thought about who sat where in his classroom.
14 he said, "I know! I know who is missing from the list!"
"Who?" said Mum.
"We forgot 15!" David said. "I'm going to wish me a Merry Christmas, too."
