As the campfire glowed, Emek and Luna prepared oranges for 6 young explorers. They had 3 oranges and cut each one into 2 equal halves. Before serving, they checked that every orange was divided into two matching pieces so no one received a larger half. The 6 equal halves were shared, one with each explorer. Everyone smiled at the fair treat, and the evening celebration began with happy songs around the campfire.
