Even though they were sisters, Suzie and June were nothing alike.  If Suzie wanted to jump rope, June wanted to play hopscotch.  It seemed that they had nothing in common, until the day that progress reports came out.  While riding the bus home from school, the girls realized that they were both failing a subject.  Suzie was failing math and June was failing reading.  Since both girls wanted to pass their classes, they got to talking and agreed to help one another.  So every day after school for the next few weeks, Suzie tutored June in reading and then June tutored Suzie in math.  By the time report cards came, Suzie and June were passing all of their classes.
