The girls were trying to decide what towear.“We don’t want anyone to recognize us,” said Betsy. “We needto really change how we look.”“I have a great idea,” said Cara. “We can use my brother’s oldhorse disguise. Two people fit inside it. One person goes inside thehorse’s head and front legs. The other person’s legs are the horse’sback legs. No one will suspect that it’s us!”“Okay, but I’m not going to be in back. I want to be the horse’sfront!” said Betsy.“No way, Betsy!” said Cara, “I want to be the horse’s front.”Betsy said, “Let’s be civilized about this. Perhaps we can taketurns. You can be the front part of the horse first, and I’ll be theback. We’ll switch places when we get tired.” Cara agreed that itwas a good idea.Date _________ Signed __________________________1124253642556779881031061181291441561601523.
