Heads or Tails

“Hey Ian, want to have a bet?” asked Luca, “What’s the deal?” replied Ian

“If it’s heads, I’ll buy you eighteen donuts,” said Luca “And tails?” said Ian

“You owe me a new a computer, are you in Ian,” “Yes, I’m in, let’s go” Ian said enthusiastically



Luca grabbed a two dollar coin and flipped it, it landed on the cupboard

“I’ll get it” Ian said and climbed on to the stair railing and then, Ian jumped and hit his face on the cupboard wall!

“I’ll try again!” Ian said while furiously jumping and trying to reach the coin on top of the cupboard.

Ian managed to hook on to the top of the cupboard yelling “Got it!” over and over again until he lost his grip and fell.

“You ok?” Luca asked “You look really hurt, I’ll get the coin,” “Thank you” Ian replied.

Luca went to the shed, got a ladder, climbed to the top and found the coin.

It’s heads!
