G: Who's kneeling?
The sinned Dr. Wei. Please forgive me.
G: What is it?
I invented the one syllabled pronunciation for numbers, so people can count quickly,
read the times table rhythmically, and master it easily.
G: So, why are you sinned?
Long ago, people were building the tower, you stopped them by messing up their language, I un-messed the pronunciation for numbers, so I must be sinned.
G: No, you are not sinned. This is how I planned.
Do me one favor, please.
G: You did not invented the one syllabled pronunciation for numbers.
Before they built tower, people read numbers as one syllabled pronunciation,
they could count fast, multiply fast, like what you suggest now.
When I messed up the language, I let some speak Chinese, some speak other languages, like English, French, German, etc. As a special favor, I kept the one syllabled pronunciation for numbers in Chinese, so the times table can be read rhythmically in China. This is my reminder for the world, I hope some one can notice it. You got it, and I need to reward you.
Thanks for your mercy to the people. I do not deserve reward. Instead, tell me what to do next.
G: I guess you may know it. Now that you got the key, just open the lock. With your friends, go teach everyone how to fast count, how to read and remember the times table. Bring children a happy childhood, and reduce teachers' burden all over the world.
My pleasure. As a last question, when will the languages become one like before?
G: You‘ve go enough to do. Leave it for others.
