An adult asked her to choose four boxes and how she divide the pebbles equally. Vesa chose boxes and placed one pebble at the time in each box until she run out of the pebbles, and then counted how many she had in each box: “There is three in each box.” The adult give her more pebbles and asked her to equally divide them between five…

She dumped him yesterday morning and, if everything goes right, she’ll be back again Tuesday, with good news. Until…
