When you are doing a puzzle you get this kind of feeling. When you put 2 or more pieces together you feel excited and proud of yourself. One afternoon we were doing a small but tricky puzzle. It was a picture of an island and a tree with water and mountains in the background. It was a painting by the famous painter, Claude Monet.
Farhiya was going well at the beginning but Sumaya wanted to give up because it was really difficult. Then she found a couple of pieces and she kept going on and all of a sudden... she felt that special puzzle feeling - excited and pleased and wanting to keep working. Both girls kept going but had to pack up. The second day they started again, they persisted with the help of a friend called Hadya and what do you know, they finished it!! They were so happy and proud.
Sumaya wrote a little song:
The feeling, the feeling,
the feeling that you get when you put two pieces,
together.
The feeling!
