“On second thought, maybe we shouldn’t bring him tomorrow,” I said. “I don’t think Mrs. Trumball would like a giant spider running around loose in her school.”

“Probably not,” Kelly said, laughing.

I pulled Harry off my pigtail and put him back in his tank. “Now what?” I asked. “Who’s left?”

“The rabbit, the turtle, the gecko, and the hamster.”

“How are we going to decide who to bring?”

“I have an idea,” said Kelly. “Let’s have a race.”

“A what?”

“A race. The two animals that cross the finish line first will come to school with us tomorrow.”

“I like that idea,” I said.

Kelly and I picked up their cages and lined them up on one side of our room.

“Now we need something to mark the finish line,” said Kelly.

“Hey, sis, come here a minute. I have an idea,” I said. Kelly walked over to me. “Turn around.” “Why?”

“Just turn around.”

She turned around, and I untied the ribbon (green, of course) from one of her pigtails and laid it down on the floor at the other end of the room.

“We’ll open their cages at the same time, and then the two who get across my ribbon first will be the winners,” said Kelly.

“You open Honey Buns’s and Zippy’s cages, and I’ll open Pete’s and Skippy’s cages,” I said. “Ready?”

“Ready!” said Kelly.

“On your mark, get set, go!”

We opened the cages and Honey Buns the rabbit and Pete the gecko ran out first. Skippy the hamster was still running on his wheel, and Zippy the turtle was just sitting in the corner, not moving a muscle.
