This is a sequel to part I. If you have not seen part one, click here.

There are many positions in the endgame in which pawns can take. Of course, the most well known is this:

This shows a single pawn and a king vs. a king. It is the simplest of the pawn endgames and the easiest pawn puzzle to do.
