Luckily Sophie remembered what her dad did when he couldn’t make a decision. She felt in her pocket and found twenty cents.

‘I’ll flip this coin,’ she explained to the others. ‘If it’s heads, I’ll go with Megan. Tails, Alice.’

Megan and Alice nodded. This seemed fair. Sophie tossed the coin into the air and caught it. Heads!

‘Yes!’ said Megan, jumping up and down.

Alice shrugged. ‘Whatever,’ she said, walking away. ‘I’ll just find someone else to go with.’

Mrs Tran gave out the life jackets and showed them how to put them on.

Megan scrunched up her face. ‘I don’t want to wear that thing,’ she said, holding the life jacket away from her. ‘It looks horrible.’

Sophie sighed. There were lots of kids already out on the lake in canoes, laughing and paddling around.

‘It’s not supposed to look good,’ Sophie said. ‘It’s for safety. If you don’t put it on, I’ll go canoeing with Alice instead.’

So Megan put on the life jacket.

Sophie looked at her and laughed.

‘It actually kind of suits you,’ she said.

‘Really?’ said Megan.

Sophie nodded. It was typical. Even a life jacket looked cool on Megan!

Everyone else was on the lake by the time Megan and Sophie finally got their canoe into the water.

Mr Perelli canoed over to give them some tips.

‘Paddle in time with each other,’ he called out to them. ‘One stroke on each side will make you go in a straight line.’

Sophie got the hang of it straight away but Megan found it hard. She kept paddling on the same side as Sophie, and the canoe started going around in circles.
