For her birthday, Marisol got a puzzle with one hundred pieces. The box showed a beach with a red and white lighthouse.
Every afternoon, Marisol worked on the puzzle at the kitchen table. Her little brother, Tony, wanted to help, but she told him he was too little.
After one week, the puzzle was almost done. But there was a hole in the middle of the lighthouse. One piece was missing!
Marisol looked under the table and inside the box. Then Tony walked in and opened his hand. There was the last piece.
Marisol laughed. “Okay, Tony,” she said. “You can put it in. Next time, we will do the puzzle together.”
Choose the best answer.
Why did Tony most likely keep the last piece?
