"Wait" Zack said. "Before we start crawling around..." Zack leaned
over, and grabbed his shirt from the floor. He then tied it around
their shared middle. "There, now we can crawl around."
Working together, they flipped over onto their bellies. Then, they
lifted themselves off the ground with their arms. That, however, is
where the teamwork ended. Each of them tried pulling in the direction
they were facing. "Zack, what are you doing?"
"What do mean what am I doing? I am trying to crawl this way." Zack
pulled harder.
"I don't think so Zack. I let you pick this conjoinment; I think I
should be leading." Mark pulled even harder.
Mark was stronger, so they started moving his way. Zack reached out in
front of him. He grabbed onto the sofa legs, and held his ground. "Let
me lead!" Zack yelled.
Mark continued to pull. "Zack just let go and let me lead!" Mark
yelled back.
The pulling was really starting to hurt their waist line. Neither
could take the pain, so they both let go. Their body collapsed onto
the ground, with both breathing heavily. Mark caught his breathe
first. "Zack, this is silly. We shared a body for an entire day, and
now we act like this." Mark sighed.
Zack was silent for a moment. He too sighed. "Your right. What were we
thinking? I'm sorry Mark."
"I'm sorry to Zack. Let's call a truce. You lead for awhile, and I
will lead."
"Sounds like a plan!" Zack cheered. Working as a team again, they
lifted themselves up, and Zack led them around the house. Every so
often, they would slip up and fall. But, they quickly became experts
at crawling.
