The Great Apple Distribution Adventure

Once upon a time in a colorful village named Fruityville, two friends, Pepe and Juancho, were known for their love of apples. One sunny afternoon, they came across a big basket filled with 20 shiny, red apples. 'Wow, Pepe! Look at all these apples! We have to share them with everyone!' exclaimed Juancho, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

- 'You're right, Juancho! But how do we fairly divide them among our 5 friends?' asked Pepe, scratching his head.

Both friends sat under a big apple tree, with the basket of apples in front of them. They wanted to ensure that each of their friends got an equal share.

- 'Let’s write down the procedure to make it clear!' suggested Juancho.

Pepe nodded and grabbed a piece of paper. Together, they wrote down the steps:

1. **Count the Total Apples**: 'We have 20 apples!' said Juancho, counting them one by one.

2. **Identify the Friends**: 'We need to share these with 5 friends: Ana, Luca, Sofia, Ben, and Mia!' Pepe chimed in.

3. **Divide the Apples**: 'If we divide 20 apples among 5 friends, each friend will get 20 divided by 5,' calculated Juancho.

- 'So, each friend gets 4 apples!' exclaimed Pepe, doing a little happy dance.

- 'But wait!' Juancho's face lit up with an idea. 'We should also make it fun! How about we play a game to see who gets to pick their apples first?'

Pepe jumped up, 'That’s a great idea! Let’s have a race!'

The two friends decided to organize a small race across the village. They called their friends to gather at the big oak tree in the park. The rules of the race were simple: the first to reach the tree would get to choose their favorite apples first, while the rest would follow accordingly.

As the friends lined up, tension filled the air. The whistle blew, and they were off! Ana, who was known for her speed, zoomed ahead, followed closely by Luca. But just as everyone thought Ana would win, she tripped over a stone!

- 'Watch out!' shouted Mia, laughing as she passed by.

Mia surged past Ana, taking the lead until Ben used a shortcut through the bushes. The race was thrilling, and the friends cheered each other on.

In the end, it was a neck-to-neck finish.

- 'I can’t believe it! Mia won!' squealed Sofia as they all hurried to the tree.

With great cheer, Mia realized her prize.

- 'I choose the biggest apple!' she said, holding up a shiny one. Everyone giggled and cheered her on.

As each friend picked their apples, Pepe and Juancho ensured everyone got exactly 4 apples. There were smiles, laughter, and the joyous spirit of sharing filled the air. The fun didn't stop there! They decided to have an apple celebration at the park.

- 'Let’s make an apple pie together!' suggested Ben, who was known for his baking skills.

- 'Great idea!' all shouted in unison, running to fetch flour and sugar.

And so, after a day full of adventure and fun, the friends baked a delicious apple pie, sharing not only the fruits but also their joy with one another. They learned that sharing didn’t just mean dividing things equally, but also filling their hearts with happiness and togetherness.

As the sun set, they sat together, devouring the warm apple pie and sharing stories of their race and their friendship.

- 'This was the best day ever!' said Juancho, with a big smile on his face.

- 'Absolutely! And all thanks to our teamwork!' concluded Pepe.

Thus, Pepe and Juancho not only figured out how to distribute apples but also learned the beauty of friendship and sharing.
