C05 · The parking game likes a short move

Complete source: Original fiction. Same broad card, level mat, house start, star direction and adult operator. A broad goal area is nearby. Two intended-gentler pushes finish wholly inside that area. Two intended-firmer but still gentle pushes finish beyond it. Each resets to the house; force is unmeasured. The maker’s stated job is resting inside, not travelling farthest. No future attempt is given.

Own invitation: Which recorded action label fits the stated job better here? What is not guaranteed?

Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation

Source-supported possibility: The intended-gentler attempts fit this resting-inside job in this record; the farther finishes do not. This is a limited purpose-based choice, not a universal ranking of force, a winner or a guarantee about future tries. The strength labels are intended, not measurements.

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 C06’s different stage-cue purpose. Invite a supported “useful because” explanation about its short move, then ask whether farther was needed. The actual answer/support guides next teaching; no stronger push is demanded.
