"I hope you have some ideas for the race," Margaret said to Einstein when the buses came to Big Lake.
"I have a few ideas that may help us win," he answered.
The race was before lunch. All the children built their grades raft, but only two went on he raft and floated down the river, Einstein the range chose the two sixth-graders to pilot the raft Pat and Herman, the biggest and heaviest kids. He gave them instructions and put something on the raft.
At the start of the race, the eighth-grade raft was on one side of the river, the seventh-grade raft on the other side, and the sixth-grade raft in middle. When the rafts arrived at the finish, the sixth-grade raft was the first. (from Highlights, after Seymour Simon)
