Fair share

Math problem - You have fifteen balloons and four friends. What would be a fair number for everyone to have?
Little girl - If I have fifteen balloons I bet it's my birthday. I would give everyone one balloon and keep the rest for me.
Teacher - The math problem is asking for "Fair Share". That means everyone should get the same amount.
Little girl - Not on your birthday.
