Note from the Author
Samuel and Sarah are twins. While Sam and Sarah share the same birthday, they are very different people and they usually like doing very different things. Today however, they were doing something they both loved to do, helping their parents get ready for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
As their father carried the ladder from the garage, and their mother carried the box with the brackets, Sam and Sarah each held an end of a bundle of long pipes that would be the frame for their family’s Sukkah. Carefully they walked together from the garage to the back yard where they would set it up. It took several trips.
