A girl who does not know the fruit

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

They wanted to send Julia to school. She had to take a test to see if the girl could start reading.

"Let's start with the simple things," said the psychic, taking the waxed fruit from the vase and placing it on the table. "Apples, pears, oranges, peaches." In a word, what are they called?

Julia stared at the ground without speaking.

- We will continue. Here are cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, potatoes and onions. What are they called in one word?

Julia bit her lip.

- Strawberries, raspberries, cherries… What are they called?

"I forgot," she whispered, barely holding back her tears.

"It's too early to go to school," the psychologist told Julia's mother. "Wait a year, practice." He doesn’t even know simple things.

The mother looked at her daughter in surprise:

"Yulinka, don't you know that in a word?"

"I remember, uncle!" - The girl's face opened. - Copy. Wax replicas of fruits and vegetables.
