## C03 · The same star, two contact sides

**Complete source:** Original fiction. One paper game piece rests at a drawn house. An adult hand beyond it gently pulls the piece toward that hand and the nearby star. After a reset, a hand behind the piece gently pushes it away from that hand toward the same star. Both recorded finishes are nearer the star. No exact force, equal travel distance or complete path is supplied.

**Own invitation:** Give one clear action instruction for either move. What does the shared finish leave unknown?

<summary>Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation</summary>

**Source-supported possibility:** A supported instruction names the contacting side, pull toward that hand or push away from it, and the star landmark. Both finishes can fit the given direction while exact distance and strength remain unknown. A shared finish is not proof of equal actions.

**Unknown/limits:** Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.

**Full next teaching:** Use C02’s menu record as a new context. Let the child choose which hand position serves the reading-place purpose, then hear a contact/action explanation. A faithful helper can mark the selected hand; this is not actual motor-operation evidence.
