Acrobatics

"What is that?"  Nora asked.
"A trapeze," answered Silas.
"A trapeze..."
"Yep."
"Are you going to swing from it?" asked Nora.
"I sure am.  Watch."  Silas grasped the bar and jumped with all his might.
"Oof!" said Avery.
"Oops..."
"I have a better idea," Avery told him.  "Why don't you swing OUT from the tree?"
"Okay!" said Silas.  He quickly turned around, once again grasped the trapeze, and jumped with all his might.
Now that Silas knows his trapeze works (and how to use it), he's going to be practicing a lot.  Avery and Nora might join in, too, now and then.  Like the old saying goes, "Three acrobats are better than one!"  Er, uh, something along those lines.
