The Stronger Twin

The Stronger Twin is a magazine story.

Plot

One day in the clay pits, Bill is being very cheeky to his twin by telling him to hurry up. Ben explains his train is heavy compared to Bill's because he is much stronger. However, Bill just scoffs and states that, since they are twins, one should not be stronger than the other.

The twins continue to grumble all day and bump their trucks around, sometimes causing clay to spill out. Their drivers tell them off and decide to stage a competition to stop the arguing; each twin will take ten loaded trucks to the harbour the next day at different times and the workmen will time each twin.

Next morning, Bill sets off first. He makes the journey and back in record time, impressing the workmen. When Ben does his trip, he ends up with the same time as Bill. The foremen then informs the twins of a heavy train that needs to be pulled. When Bill can not do it on his own, the twins realise they are the strongest when pulling together.
