Hi Aavya. At noon Aavya opened the box. Two flatbreads, a little vegetable. Beside, Aarav's place was empty. He sat with a hand on his stomach. Aavya thought, if I give both flatbreads I will stay hungry. Why was that only half a fix? Because giving everything feeds one child and leaves the other empty. Aavya broke one flatbread down the middle and slid half toward Aarav. Two spoons of vegetable too. They both ate. Aarav said, my stomach is quiet now. When the play bell rang, they stood up together. Aavya, half a bread can still finish the afternoon.
