Different Opinions

Zoey, Zina and Grace showed us that they knew how to challenge each other's opinion and come to some consensus.

Question:
Ms Tan: What do you want to write about today?
Zoey: I am going to write about my pony. (She held her 'My Little Pony' toy for the discussion group to see.)
Zina: That's not a pony. It's a unicorn.
Zoey: It's a pony! It's called 'My Little Pony'!
Grace: Noooo! A pony does not have a horn!
Zoey: Yes, it does!
Ms Tan: How about you girls go and have a discussion on your own to see if you can solve this problem about whether that's a pony or a unicorn?
(The three girls left the discussion group and settled in the library corner. The rest of the group continues their discussion about what they want to write about.)
A short while later, the three girls return smiling.
Grace: We decided that Zoey has a unicorn pony.
Zoey: Yes, it's called 'My Little Pony' but it has a horn.
Zina: A pony doesn't have a horn.
Grace: And a Pegasus has wings!
Zoey: We are going to write about a unicorn.

Ka pai girls!
