"Wow!" he whispered as a list of websites popped onto the screen. "Fibonacci, Italian mathematician," said one. "The work of Fibonacci," said another. "Fibonacci and the Golden Number," said another.
Ryan scrolled down the list of websites. There were a dozen or more, but none with the word "cows".
He tried looking up "cows" by itself, but the search engine gave him so many cow listings he didn't think he'd get through them all by bedtime! So he went back to the Fibonacci sites and visited them, one by one.
At first he felt anxious and a little angry, because they didn't tell him exactly what he needed to know. It just looked like more boring old maths: numbers and squares and a spiral and ...Hey, this was a bit more interesting: rabbits and honeybees and plants and ancient Greek temples. He was searching for cows, though, so he just looked, without concentrating too hard.
