The rule
A quick look can miss a mango. Touching each one does not.
A number tells exactly how many things there are.
Touch each thing once. Say one count word (1, 2, 3 and so on) each time. The last word you say is the answer.
Miss one, and your count is too small. Touch one twice, and your count is too big.
Example
Seven mangoes. Touch them: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The answer is 7.
