Michael kicked the pile of leaves he had just finished raking in frustration. “Aw man, I’m never going to make it to the movies tonight,” he whined. As he started to tear up from anger, he looked over to his neighbor’s house. Teresa, a girl from school, happened to be outside, planting flowers. “Hey Teresa, what are you up to?” Michael asked, walking over to her yard. “Ugh, trying to plant these flowers as quickly as possible so I can go to the dance tonight.” Michael laughed and said, “I feel your pain. My uncle said that if I can’t rake up the leaves in the yard, then I can’t go to the movies.” They both shook their heads in annoyance.

“Hey! Why don’t you finish helping me plant the flowers, and I’ll help you rake the leaves! That way, we can get our work done twice as fast and surely make it to our destination tonight.” Michael pondered this idea for a short period of time and then said, “My uncle always says, ‘Two heads are better than one!’ Great thinking, Teresa!” Together, the two of them planted many flowers in the garden, then jetted over to Michael’s yard and raked up the leaves in record time. “Thank you so much for your help,” Michael yelled as he made his way inside to grab his wallet and head out the door.
