'Hmmm,' Chug smiles, 'maybe we're better off staying together.'
Stobey gulps and nods. She glances at Slutter who nods in return.
'I think I'll put off doing a somersault or holding on with my toes,'
Slutter says, 'at least until I practice.'
'I guess you're right,' Stobey says, 'I think I'll wait a while before I try that again.'
The trapeze reaches the end of its swing. Up ahead is another mountain top with a tiny platform at the peak. The platform is attached to a pole like the one they left. As their feet touch the platform they each grasp the railing.
They are on firm footing again. Chug ties the trapeze bar to the rail.
'Did you enjoy the ride?' Chug asks Stobey.
'Sure did.'
'The same goes for me,' adds Slutter.
'How will you describe this ride to your parents and to your friends?'
Chug asks.
