21. Problems

CHAPTER 21 PROBLEMS The next morning, George and Harold woke up late. "Ahhh, it's nice to sleep in for a change, isn't it?" said George. "Yeah," said Harold. "But I gotta pee." This was something that George and Harold hadn't thought about. Usually, they would just climb down the ladder and run to their houses to use the bathroom.
