H03 · A goal where more travel is not needed

Complete source: Original fiction. The job is to rest wholly inside a wide drawn goal. On the same mat from the same start, an adult’s first small intended-gentle push rests inside. A second described-as-firmer but still gentle push rests beyond the goal. Actual force was not measured.

Own invitation: Which supplied result fits this job? Say what these two attempts cannot settle.

Wanted practical offer: A source-only choice is enough. If actually trying, keep movements short and bounded; do not chase the piece or make a farthest contest. A different setup is new evidence, not this story’s result.

Complete alternative and access: Use two large cards labelled “inside” and “beyond”, spoken descriptions or a child-directed sketch. Give time before asking why.

Notice and next: A single pair cannot guarantee the next attempt. A change of surface or player is a question, not a supplied explanation.
