Small Number is a young boy who gets into a lot of mischief.  He lives in a big city with his mother and his older sister Perfect Number.  Twice a week, after school, he goes with his friends to the Aboriginal Friendship Centre. There the boys first have a snack and then they do mathematics for a half of an hour. Sometimes they do algebra in their workbooks, but usually they just play mathematical games. Small Number鈥檚 favorite game is 鈥淪et鈥�. He enjoys finding patterns faster than anybody else! What the boys like the most is to play basketball in Center鈥檚 gym.  There are four basketball hoops in he gym so each group of players can use just a fraction of the court. Small Number is the shortest guy in the group, but he is very fast and he is trying hard to be as good a player as his best friend Big Circle, the biggest guy on the team.

A big half-court basketball tournament will happen on Aboriginal Day and the boys want to enter it.  Each team is to have six players, with only three players on the court at one time.  There are only five boys in Small Number鈥檚 group of friends. The boys start talking about whom they might get to be their sixth player.  Big Circle says, 鈥淲e need somebody who is tall, fast, and a good shooter!鈥� All boys agreed.

Katuksihk esa wekowahk Apsch Akichikiwan, umamawa ikskitumeet keekoy mooskachikoot.  Kakoychimat esa, tanseekwa? Intohtakoot esa ikwa.  Intoonowayahk  awyuk kinoosit chastapeet, ikwa aschi kanihta poosooweepinat koskwentowana tapikwipinkunihk.

Koyask Akihtasowin esa kanoowapimat, tansi maka okihk teehtakow teehtahk esa?

When Small Number came home, his mom noticed that he was quieter than usual. 鈥淲hat happened?鈥� she asked. After listening to Small Number鈥檚 explanation, mom smiled, 鈥淕ood?  Tall? Fast? And a good shooter? I think that both of us know a person like that!鈥� and she looked at Small Number鈥檚 sister Perfect Number who was just finishing her math homework.  鈥淚 love you, mom!鈥� yelled Small Number and hugged his mom tightly. Perfect Number looked at them very puzzled.

Kotahk keesikow esa Apsch Akichikiwan kanaskowat oweechiwakuna,  wihtumoowat esa "Taniki kiya kakoychimyuhk nimiss Koyask Akihtasowin?鈥漣tat esa. 鈥淢akana iskwees ikona鈥� kytoyt esa Misiwasakameyak.

The following day Small Number said to his friends, 鈥渨hy not ask my sister, Perfect Number?鈥�  鈥淏ut she is a girl!鈥� said Big Circle, feeling his heart beating a bit faster. 鈥淵es, she is a girl but she is also tall, fast, and a good shooter!鈥� responded the rest of the boys in one voice.

鈥淜oyask Akihtasowin weech metawemkoyaki.鈥� Itweet esa Apsch Akichikiwan,鈥淣eestanoo mamowih kuytatintoowuk umeetaweewuk seemak ikwa moya awiyuk kaneestohsoo.鈥� Itweet esa.

鈥淲ith Perfect Number playing with us,鈥� continued Small Number, 鈥渨e can have twenty different teams on the court and nobody is ever going to get tired!鈥� 

Misiwasakameyak cheecheekinuhk esa ustihkon, 鈥淭ansi maka isakihtumun ohi keekoya? Ikwa neya mamowachi nihtameetowyan, moya tooki nyweepin, sooskwatch tooki nametawan!鈥� Itoyt esa.

Big Circle was scratching his head, 鈥淗ow can you calculate things like that? And, since I鈥檓 the best player, I have to play all the time!鈥�

鈥淚ksi tooki mitataht kotakak umetawewuk kametawewuk. Ikwa keesta meena sowatch mewemsk.鈥� Itat esa Apsch Akichikewan Misiwasakameyakoh. Iksimat esa ikwa tupuseet. Napisak esa papihataw.

鈥淚n that case we can have ten different teams on the court鈥� And she likes you too!鈥� said Small Number running away form a very angry Big circle till their friends very laughing. 

Tansi?  isikskitum?  Apshc Akichikiwan,  keespin weechmetaweenkootaw Koyask Akitasowina,  neestanoo mamowih seemak kakih-metawewuk umetawewuk?

Question: How did Small Number knew that if Perfect Number plays with him and his friends, then they would be able to have twenty different teams on the court at the time?
