As the author remarks, this is not a scientific paper but a `story'. It was written for high school teachers. The central topic is the representation of integers by quadratic forms, and many methods and directions are touched upon in this short paper. We encounter the \(SL_2({\mathbb Z})\)-classes of binary quadratic forms, the theta function approach of Jacobi to sums of four squares, the Hardy-Littlewood method and the local-global considerations for quadratic forms of Hasse-Minkowski. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0908.00021].
