The male professor felt that too much time was being wasted on this little girl. Wasn't this a test session?
Just as he was about to remind his colleague to focus on the task and let the three teachers handle the child, he heard Su Le begin speaking—fluently—in a foreign language, answering the female professor's question.
"I certainly know what a professor is! My mom told me that professors are university teachers, and that universities are places of higher education, where talent is cultivated. When I grow up, I'll go to university too, to contribute to our country. As for foreign languages, they're popular languages spoken in other countries. Many people in those countries speak them. I already know a foreign language, Professor. What do you think of my foreign language skills?"
The female professor was astonished, and the male professor was equally dumbfounded. This little girl, who seemed no older than three, could speak a foreign language so fluently!
