When the family is large, typically, there would be sharing necessary. The second sister in a Korean family tells us the story of having 4 siblings and in such a situation, how sharing is considered vital. Usually everything is not easy to split between people, like how do you share someone's attention?

However, eventually, the 5 siblings devised many innovative ways to share even the unshareable items in the household, and for this, many mathematical concepts are used in this story. For example, on a hot night, to ensure that everyone has a fair share of cool breeze from the fan, each one of the siblings position themselves in a 30-degree angle to the fan!!! But, how do you share something like a rain boot? Only time can decide which feet fit perfectly into the rain boots! When their uncle gift them a scooter, the siblings create a pie chart to ensure everybody gets an equal amount of time on the scooter!

When one of the siblings falls and injures herself, the parents take her to the doctor. This is a time when the girl gets undivided and unshared attention from her parents. She is even allowed to pick a birthday cake while returning home.

When she returns home with her birthday cake, what is she going to do?

What do you think? Share with her siblings???
