'Now tell me, Matilda,'... «Matilda»
Cannelle26 октября 2018'Now tell me, Matilda,' Miss Honey said, still polishing, 'try to tell me exactly what goes on inside your head when you get a multiplication like that to do. You obviously have to work it out in some way, but you seem able to arrive at the answer almost instantly. Take the one you've just done, fourteen multiplied by nineteen.' 'I... I... I simply put the fourteen down in my head and multiply it by nineteen,' Matilda said. 'I'm afraid I don't know how else to explain it. I've always said to myself that if a little pocket calculator can do it why shoudn't I?' 'Why not indeed?' Miss Honey said. 'The human brain is an amazing thing.' 'I think it's a lot better than a lump of metal,' Matilda said. 'That's all a calculator is.'
