The cake stallAt the school fair, Kofi and Auntie Ngozi ran the cake stall, and it needed a price sign. Kofi hunted for each number with one finger, his eyes down on the keys, and one price took ages. Taffy the dog yawned, and Kofi sighed. Then Auntie Ngozi showed him the number row, which sits right above the letters, like the top floor of a house. Every finger owns a whole column of keys, from low to high. The left pinky takes one, the left ring takes two and the left middle takes three. The left pointer takes four and five, and the right pointer takes six and seven. The right middle takes eight, the right ring takes nine and the right pinky takes zero. Kofi started with every finger at home, reached up two floors, tapped the number and came straight back.
