The Hidden Songs of Numbers

Once upon a numeral, there lived a tale. Did you know that whispers in numbers tell stories in a tongue almost forgotten?

One is the sun, forever rising. Two is a dancing pair. Three hums the tune of a triangle. Four sings in a square.

Let's say the number likes a pet name. Like 1, we call Sunny. 2 prefers to be seen as Twirl. 3 loves to hum the tune of Tri-Tri. 4 is Squarey, always in a line.

In some lands, children giggle when they spell a number's name. They hear what a number quietly speaks.

Did the numbers smile back? Perhaps they are shy, keeping silent in the cloudiness of our pasts.
