Sue was very upset. She had never heard of anybody adding words before. She thought it was the most ridiculous thing she’d ever seen. She would have thought it was funny if it hadn’t upset her so much.

“How much is apples plus oranges?” asked Mrs. Jewls.

Sue couldn’t take it any longer. “Fruit!” she screamed. “You can’t add fruit!”

Everyone stared at her.

Sue sighed. She hadn’t meant to shout so loud. “Everyone knows you can’t add apples and oranges,” she explained.

“Why is that?” asked Mrs. Jewls.
