The Raspberry Ice Cream War

The Raspberry Ice Cream War was a conflict between two groups of kids who both wanted to eat raspberry ice cream. They couldn't all agree on who should get to eat the ice cream, so they argued and argued until they decided they would have to solve it by playing a game. One group of kids wanted to play tag and decided that whoever was "it" would be the winner and get to eat the raspberry ice cream. The other group wanted to play a guessing game and decided that whoever guessed the right number of pieces of raspberry would win and get to eat the ice cream. In the end, both groups agreed to play both games, so that two people could win and share the raspberry ice cream.
