Emek and Luna were enjoying their riverside picnic when two friends joined them. Only one round pie was left for all 4 friends. Emek suggested cutting it into 4 equal parts so everyone would get the same amount. They carefully divided the pie and checked that the pieces matched in size. Each piece was one quarter of the whole pie. Everyone received one quarter, and the four friends enjoyed their fair shares together.
