Do you know the saying “Many hands make light work”? Well, my sister Pippa and I understand that in a very 1 way.
We love to skate, so when Mum said that she was taking us to the indoor ice - skating rink (冰场), we were excited. The next 2 saw us racing outside and running quickly to get into the car.
“I’m sure I’m still faster than you,” I 3 at Pippa, reminding (提醒) her of the last time at the rink when she fell far behind and was close to crying.
“You 4. I’ve been practising on my inline skates every day for weeks, and I’m certainly faster than you now,” she replied confidently (自信地). 5 was almost second nature to us.
“You two always compete (竞争) with each other for your own good. If you decide to have a 6, then you can stay away from me,” Mum said.
We should have listened. But Pippa and I couldn’t 7 to show who was faster.
“Let’s warm up first,” I advised. Then we danced, turned round and round quickly and did anything we 8 to show our excellent skills. But soon we got 9.

We three 12 at the hospital. When we got home, Mum said, “Your unreasonable (不合理的) competing got us into this 13. But now you have a chance to work together for once and 14 how to get us out of it.”
We weren’t 15 about what Mum said and asked her at the same time, “What do you mean?” “I obviously can’t move around very well,” she said, “so you two can start by washing clothes, and then we’ll prepare dinner together.”
