She waved her arm and two burly women got up into the ring and lifted the table over the ropes, handing it to Dominique on the outside. She steadied it with little effort while her assistants clambered out of the ring to take the table from her and store it in a corner. In the meantime, Larry was trying to work the pain and stiffness out of his right arm. He was stunned by Margo's easy victory, especially because he had been counting on beating her in the arm wrestling. Nervously he looked over at her while she sipped some water and chatted with a few of the onlookers. Margo looked fresh and cool, while he was dripping sweat. Before he was ready, Dominique called, "Yo, Margo! Larry! In the ring! Now!" Margo jumped from the floor to the ring apron, about three feet above the floor. She then vaulted over the top rope into the ring. "Show-off," muttered Larry very quietly as he climbed the steps and ducked between the second and third ropes to enter the ring. "The second test of strength is leg wrestling," said Dominique. "Each of you lays down on the mat, right side to right side. You'll link your right arms at the elbow. I'll count 'one, two, three, go'. At each number, you lift your right leg in the air and lower it down again. |
