Jack's mother asked him move the family piano from the dining room to the living room. He was strong, but not strong enough to move the piano any farther than the doorway between the rooms. So he called Peter for help.

"You take this end," Jack told peter when he got there. "and I'll go around to the dining room and take the other end."

Peter nodded, and when Jack was in place and gave the word, he pushed and pushed, but it still didn't move. They had a rest.

"Push?" Jack repeated, "I thought you were pulling it in the living room."
