"Carly, I can take care of this myself, I don't need your help." Ed quickly stopped Carly, who wanted to do a good deed.
But Carly insisted on helping him tidy up, so Ed stopped separating the soaps and started playing a game of tearing down and rebuilding with Carly.
"Lord Eddard, I now have serious doubts about the fairness of your distribution of the soap, and we demand a redistribution."
It's no wonder Carly was suspicious, because the further they were distributed, the more obvious the difference in numbers became. Ed's side was almost full, while Carly and Adelaide didn't have many left.
"Carly, isn't this fair? You get one piece, I get one piece," Ed tried to persuade Carly.
"Hmm?" This was also something Carly couldn't understand. It was clearly fair that you take one and I take one, and she could see clearly that Lord Ed didn't take more than his share, so why did Lord Ed have so much soap?
Carly looked to Adelaide for help. Did Adelaide know? Ha! She didn't understand why either, but there was definitely something wrong with this method of dividing the soap.
"Yes, I think Carly is right. We need to redistribute the resources. And we can't use this method anymore."
Two to one, so all the soaps were piled up again. Ed thought for a moment and realized that it would be difficult for him to get a lot more soap.
So all cheating methods were useless, but he just wanted to teach Carly a lesson. Since it didn't work, he was prepared to divide the soap properly.
"Carly, let me share with you first. You take one piece, I'll take one piece, you take one piece, I'll take one piece..."
"Stop, stop, Lord Ed, is this how you divide it? In the end, I'll only have one piece left."
Carly looked at Ed speechlessly. She had seen it all today; she had never imagined that things could be divided like this.
He would take her soap and give it to himself, but she only ever had one bar of soap.
"Hehe! Carly, you can divide it up then!" Ed had achieved his goal and was ready to wash his hands of the business.
"Alright! I'm very fair, I won't distribute it like you did, you can rest assured."
Next, Carly started distributing the soap: "Lord Eddard has one, I have one, Sister Adelaide has one, I have one..."
Carly grew happier as she divided the soap, because she clearly had more soap in front of her than the other two.
"Don't look at me, I don't know any other way to divide it either, I can only divide it according to Lord Ed's method."
Hehe, Carly was also a little incredulous. She just wanted to try Lord Ed's method, but she didn't expect that she would have so many more than the two of them.
Adelaide couldn't stand it anymore; if things continued like this, there would never be a resolution.
"I'll handle the allocation!"
So Adelaide divided the soap into three piles, and each person chose one pile, which made it more even.
The soaps are finally sorted. What's the next step after sorting them? Of course, we'll use them to see if they're any good!
Riverside.
Carly and Adelaide dipped their hands into the cool river water, a very refreshing thing to do on a hot summer day.
The cool river water lapped against their arms, carrying away the tiny bubbles. Carly pulled her hands out of the water; her flawless white hands were quite beautiful. Then she placed her hands under her nose.
"Ah! It smells so good, Sister Adelaide. The rose soap is really nice. Lord Ed called it 'Rose Covenant,' which is indeed very beautiful."
Adelaide used an iris-themed soap, and she felt as if she were surrounded by a fresh, enchanting, fragrant, warm, and gentle sea of flowers.
And the fragrance on my hands lingered for a long time; I could still smell the pleasant scent.
"Hmm, Carly, my Iris Longing is pretty good too, would you like to try it?"
"I'll use it next time. It's not good to mix two scents together. But Sister Adelaide, how are we going to take this soap back with us? Are we just going to carry it like this? We'll have to wash our hands when we get back."
Yes, Adelaide also noticed that this soap is sticky and difficult to carry; it would be more convenient to make a container for it.
