[Just as I thought, Naomi Kenway was just putting on an act this morning. Annie can't even recite the multiplication tables, so how could he possibly understand those classic science books?]
[I don't think everyone should be so focused on whether a child is smart or not. Annie has so many wonderful qualities. He's really good at picking up on other people's emotions. He was the one who noticed Carina was upset and comforted her, and even gave her his own egg. Why do you all insist on finding fault with such a considerate kid?]
[But he's just not as smart as the other kids. Are we not allowed to say that?]
