Een and Enna chapter 6 FIRST STEPS

 CHAPTER 6

First Steps

  The twins were now 10 months old, and therefore,  ready for walking! Mr and Mrs Mckelle excitedly held out their hands, on parent on either side. They were teaching the twins to walk.

At first, Een and Enna kept falling, but they still didn't give up. Soon, Een could walk a maximum of three steps. Although Enna could barely walk a step, she kept trying. After three hours, Een could almost reach Mrs Mckelle and Enna could walk five steps!

Every day, they practiced and practiced and practiced, until they could walk over fifty steps; maybe with a bit of falling. The twins were smiling from ear to ear with proudness. They couldn't wait to cause more trouble

The next day, they went to a restaurant as a family, next to a pool. The lifeguard wasn't there because the pool was closed: it was too dark. Sammy and Emmy each took a twin on a walk, side by side. The twins were thirsty for trouble.

Suddenly, there was a shout from a lean, stumpy boy on a rusty, won bike saying,"Free ice cream for the first people!" Sammy and Emmy quickly let go from the twins hands and rushed eagerly to the bike. The twins were free to go anywhere they wanted: this was not good...

They toddled cheekily over to the pool. Enna dipped her finger then oohed,''Oooh.'' Een stared at the pool with an expressionless face, then jumped in! Enna copied her.

Soon, they were shrieking with desperation and bawling, as they couldn't swim. They were drowning! Suddenly, Mr and Mrs Mckelle came speeding towards the pool, so did Sammy and Emmy.

Mr Mckelle dived in the clear, splashy water and rescued the choking Een and Enna. Mrs Mckelle didn't know how to swim, Emmy was taking swimming lessons, and Sammy, who knew how to swim- didn't want to get wet.

They went home straight away and the twins and Mr Mckelle had a shower. Sammy and Emmy got a good telling off for storming off like that by Mrs Mckelle. The twins were scarred for life.
