I have a cross in the form of one square with four identical squares surrounding it

   _
 _|_|_
|_|_|_|
  |_|

Cut it into the fewest number of pieces possible such that, when rearranged the pieces form two smaller crosses of identical size.

(In reply to 4 pieces minus epsilon by Jer)

Is this the same as yr preveious solution? It appears to contain 8 pieces.
