THE TURNING POINT
IT WAS SAID WHEN A CHILD IS SEVEN YEARS OLD, THE MOTHER
GIVES IT ITS NAVEL WHICH THE MOTHER KEPT IN HIDING
(SINCE THE CHILD'S BIRTH). IF THE CHILD UNTIES THE CORD,
IT WILL BE SMART AND QUICK TO CATCH ON IN LEARNING. IF
THE CHILD IS SLOW AND CAN'T UNTIE IT (THE CORD), IT WILL
BE SLOW AND AWKWARD.
