Problem

Donald’s sister Maggie goes to a nursery. One day the teacher at the nursery asked Maggie and the other children to stand a circle. When Maggie came home she told Donald that it was very funny that in the circle every child held hands with either two girls or two boys. Given that there were five boys standing in the circle, how many girls were standing in the circle?
