Panting, a boy runes out of the forest. "I was so scared just now!" he exclaims.
"What happened?" his friends want to know.
"In the forest I was chased by a hundred wolves!"
"A hundred wolves?"
"You don't believe it? Well, there must have been at least fifty of them."
"But there aren't fifty wolves in the whole forest."
"Well, but there must have been twelve."
"Stop lying!"
"That's not a lie, though. There was a wolf on my trail, for sure!"
"And where did you see him?"
"In the forest, right behind me! I heard something rustling."
