Child A went first. Child B was unable and so he practised again [and again] when in no time able to jump over two benches and child A was unable. Child B has the competitive spirit! Note: 橙 in modern Chinese means orange. However, from the context we know this isn't the case. I don't know if it is equivalent to 櫈. It could be also a misprint. However, my research, the Korean pronunciation of this character is either "jeung" or "deung". The second pronunciation is closer to "deng" in Mandarin and "dang3" in Cantonese. In any case, I do not know how Koreans treat this character to ascertain the book has a misprint.
