### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Green herbs are given to humans for food, as in the permission to eat everything after the flood. Interpretation: Sefer Yetzirah reads the void as a green line around the universe. Green is also a color the rabbis linked to the life of plants. In the primary lessons: a colour that tells one kind of a thing from another: green apples, green peaches, green marbles; in science and art, blue and yellow make green; plants are green because of chlorophyll; phrases: «green light» (go), «green with envy», «go green», «eat your greens»

A kind word, not a quantity. It picks which group the number belongs to. Trap: «how many more green than red» is a difference; «how many peaches» adds all colours. Safety: cross the road only when the green man shows.
