Episode 300: Helping Hand

The twins lie face down on the floor. They curl their hands under their bellies and tuck their faces into their chests. They try to fold up their limbs, but cannot manage the trick. Their legs remain splayed out behind them. What are you two up to? asks Terrastina. We’re being turtles, say the twins. Terrastina goes into the laundry room, returns with two cardboard boxes, and places them over the twins. How’s that? she says. The boxes creep along the floor and bump into each other. The twins tuck their legs under the boxes. Thank you, they say.
