How high can you hop?
Let me see. Wow!
Three blocks! Not bad. Have another go.
Five blocks! Fantastic. Oh do it again. I feel like something lucky will happen.
Seven, plus one, equals eight!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Eight arms! Or are they legs?
Let me see.
Whatever they are, I like them.
I am Eight and this is great!
Anybody here?
Oh hello.
Who are you?
I’m Eight… and I’m another eight.
Watch this!
Eight, minus one, equals seven.
Hey!
Wow!
Told you. That was a lucky hop.
