Tale Of The Nun

"Why did that girl call you mother?" Nero asked with a curious look on his face.

The nun stood there in silence before taking a deep breath and opened her mouth to say something, "I—"

Before she could answer, the other children noticed the nun and started calling her.

"Mother! Mother! Mother!" All the children were calling her mother.

"Nevermind," Nero groaned.

  The nun covered her mouth and laughed at Nero.

"Not now, later!" the nun replied to the kids.

Nero once again glanced at the children to count them. 

There were 23 kids who were under ten years old. And eight kids who looked under 15. Out of 31, 15 were girls, and 16 were boys.

Nero found it weird that there was no way a single nun could take care of 31 kids all by herself— without any funds or rations.

"My questions have increased," Nero asserted to the nun.

"Follow me." The nun turned around and began walking to the river.
