“We have to find out more,”she urged, “but how? Who would know about it?”
Paidia and Gelio recognised that their friends were excited about something and came running up.
“Tell me!” squeaked Paidia. “What are you talking
about?”
Gelio nudged her with his elbow. “There you go again,” he remonstrated jokingly. “You just have to poke your nose into everything, don't you?”
“Hey!” Paidia was offended but quickly recovered herself. “I'm just curious, ok? All the best scientific discoveries arise out of curiosity.”
“Are you a cat, though?” Gelio asked with mock
seriousness.
Paidia was puzzled. “A cat? Why?” “Because curiosity killed the cat.”
“And a cat has nine lives!” Paidia stuck her tongue out at
Gelio.
