"I'll go." said Bets, approaching the manhole "If I can fit the rest of you can."
She lifted off the manhole cover and lowered her legs down into the hole. She sucked in her gut and squeezed her butt and hips in too, but when it came to her huge belly she ran into difficulty. She grunted, squirmed and wriggled but she made no further progress into the manhole.
"It's no good!" she sighed "I'm stuck!"
She tried to pull herself out, but found she couldn't budge an inch either way!
"Oh no!" she cried "I really am stuck!"
The other three girls grabbed hold of her and pulled and pulled, but she still remained firmly wedged!
"Now what?" asked April.
"AAAAH!" cried Bets suddenly "Something touched my foot! Get me out of here!"
