Max and Mom were at the park together one day. They were playing a game. They each needed to separate pieces of cardboard. Max was so happy. He was able to separate the cardboard into two pieces. 
Mom said: "That's so good, Max! You did such a great job!". 
Max was so proud of himself. He beamed with happiness. 
Next, Mom asked Max if he would like to try something a little harder. Max nodded. Mom handed him two big pieces of cardboard and said: "Let's see if you can separate them into four pieces". 
Max thought it would be difficult, but he focused and tried. After a while, he managed to separate the cardboard into four pieces. 
He was so happy. Mom congratulated him. She said: “Well done, Max. You did an amazing job!”.
Max smiled, thrilled that he had achieved his goal.
