Instead of memorizing meanings and memorizing them, you can also learn how children who read picture books can think and enjoy themselves by seeing the concept of Uma, who understand the concept in their own way by thinking and contemplating themselves while struggling with difficult concepts.Uma has a lot of questions such as Can you imagine a huge thing like infinity from looking at numerous stars in the night sky? Then I begin to ask people around me how I feel about infinity. Friend Charles defines an endlessly large number, and Samantha says it is the same as an infinite race forever. My grandmother is a family that goes on forever, and the uncle says its like a noodle that can be cut endlessly. As I imagine it, Uma begins to realize that infinity is hard to explain without saying "forever" and when it continues forever, I think of good things.As though the thought spreads endlessly on the tail, the horse is exhausted knowing that thinking about infinity is really endless. When I go home and talk with my grandmother about dinner, I realize that the love for my grandmother is as big as infinity ... . Did Uma find the answer?
