I was helping Sahil with his studies. I was working on the concept of fractions necessary for the given problem. It seemed that Sahil wanted to skip that part.

"Sahil, be patient. Don't you want to learn this?", I said.

He replied

"No, I don't want to learn this. I want to know this."

Smart for his age

"Get your tray-tables. Today I am going to let you have lunch in front of the TV as an exception", I said.

"Sanjana, if you get my table, I will give you a dime.", Sahil made an offer to Sanjana.

"Okay.", Sanjana agreed to this exciting prospect.

Sahil said to himself, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Yeah, that's why I like being rich."
