Molly the Meerkat loved playing in the sunny savannah with her friends. But one day, her friend Tim the Tortoise asked her to help count his berries. Molly realized she didn't know how to count beyond three. She felt sad because she really wanted to help Tim. "Can you help me?" Tim asked. Molly nodded, even though she was unsure how.
Molly decided to count the berries by placing them in small piles. But every time she tried, she got confused and lost track. "Oh no, I can't do it!" Molly exclaimed. Her friends watched as she tried again and again. They wanted to help, but they weren't sure how either.
Molly's friend, Benny the Bird, suggested using her paws to count. "Try using your paws", Benny chirped. But Molly's paws were too small to hold all the berries. She felt overwhelmed and worried she would never get it right. The hot sun made her feel tired and frustrated.
Feeling discouraged, Molly sat down and sighed deeply. "Maybe I'm just not good at this", she said quietly. She thought about giving up on helping Tim. But she didn't want to disappoint her friend. Her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the uncounted berries.
Then, wise old Grandpa Meerkat came along and saw her distress. "Molly, you can learn this", he said gently. He showed her how to use pebbles to count the berries. Molly tried again, using a pebble for each berry. Suddenly, it all made sense!
With Grandpa's help, Molly counted all the berries accurately. "I did it!" Molly cheered with joy. Her friends clapped and cheered for her. Molly realized that learning math was not so scary after all. She felt proud and wise, knowing she could help her friends anytime!
