Put 3 apples in the hole
Then press "2" on the control.
Out come 2 groups of 3 —
6 apples in all, don't you see?

Into the machine, I put 4 pies.
Ruthie pressed "3" and to our surprise
Out came 4 and 4 and 4 —
12 pies in all and not one more.

Five cars were the last to go in.
We pressed "2" to begin.
Out popped 2 groups of 5 —
10 cars ready for a drive!

I do not know why
This machine can multiply.
It must be very smart
To make more at the end than at the start!
