He often painted numbers on the house wall with chalk, or wrote them in the sand with a stick. Numbers were his favourite toys. One evening father Gauss was very tired and while counting he fell asleep. While he was sleeping, his son continued the calculation. Suddenly the boy cried! "Father, look, you've made ​​a mistake: A five must stand here. You've written a three!" Shocked Gauss opened his eyes. He considered the calculation, and really, Karl Friedrich, his three- year-old son had found an error! He stroked his boy tenderly, reached into his pocket and gave him a new coin. Karl Friedrich did not buy any candy for it. He kept it well. Later, as a famous man, he had this coin still with him, in memory of his first mathematical performance.
