The story in short
यह पाठ एक रोचक कथा के माध्यम से संख्या-गणना तथा पूरण-संख्या (प्रथमः, द्वितीयः, दशमः) का अभ्यास कराता है। संस्कृत-ओलम्पियाड की चर्चा से आरम्भ होकर "दशमः कौन है?" प्रश्न पर कथा आती है। दस बालक नदी में स्नान करके पार जाते हैं। उनका नायक पूछता है कि क्या सब पार आ गए। एक बालक सबको पंक्ति में खड़ा करके गिनता है — एक, दो, तीन ... नौ — परन्तु वह स्वयं को नहीं गिनता, इसलिए कहता है कि "हम तो नौ ही हैं, दसवाँ नहीं है, अवश्य कोई नदी में डूब गया।" दूसरा बालक भी स्वयं को छोड़कर गिनता है और नौ ही पाता है; सब दुःखी होकर मौन हो जाते हैं। तभी एक पथिक आता है, सही गिनती करके बताता है कि दस ही हैं, और नायक को गिनवाकर अन्त में कहता है — "दसवाँ तो तुम स्वयं हो।" यह सुनकर सब प्रसन्न होकर "दशमः प्राप्तः" कहते हुए घर लौटते हैं — सन्देश यह कि मनुष्य प्रायः अपने भीतर की क्षमता/उपस्थिति को ही भूल जाता है। पाठ पूरण-संख्या, सप्ताह के दिन, भारतीय तथा आंग्ल मास, और एक से सौ तक की संख्याएँ भी सिखाता है।
