Some bears run to the creek.

The want to wash their paws cause they are covered with honey.

One of bears slipps and falls into the water.

The bears suddenly notice that one bear less is standing on ground,
or the other way round, one bear more is in the water.

“That’s incredible! Until just now I was thinking that we are just some bears.
But now I realize we are a certain amount of bears.
Every one of us is one bear, together we are a certain amount of bears.
If one misses we are one less.”

This sudden knowledge strikes the bears like lightning.

They are happy with their new knowledge and decide to run back to their honey buckets.

As they arrive they suddenly notice something strange.

“That’s incredible!
Until just now I was thinking that we just have some honey buckets.
But now I realize that we have a certain amount of honey buckets.
Just like we are a certain amount of bears.”

“Well, I noticed something else:
The two amounts (bears and honey buckets) are not equal.
To be more precise, we are more bears than there are honey buckets.”

This confuses the certain amount of bears.
Suddenly they don’t think that their new idea is so great
because before that there had always been enough honey for all of them.

THE END
