How many Finns did it take to finish off a piece of homework?

Answer: 4 (the whole family)

1) Matias wrote a story in his English handwriting. He went over it with Heikki and corrected the mistakes.

2) Minna copied the story word for word in American cursive. She is the only one in the family who knows how to write in American cursive, having lived in the country twice. (Matias goes to an American school, so that's why the American cursive). Meanwhile, Matias drew and coloured in a picture to go with the story.

3) Matias copied his story and the cursive from Minna's paper. Meanwhile, Heikki went to get us some pizza.

4) While the others had their backs turned, India, who's always happy to help, finished off Matias's picture.
