Waddaya Wanna Doo

Counselor One told the groups to get in the water, so the groups did.
Counselor Two said, "Take these canoes and make it work with your partner."

Each group got a canoe.

Patty and Perry got in their canoe and they decided that they wanted to go as fast as they could.  So they each paddled in the same direction, and they hunkered down in the canoe itself, trying to get as little wind resistance as possible, and before long,  FLOOMF!  They were speeding down the river as fast as they could.

Oblate and Orglaf got in their canoe and decided that they wanted to spin in a circle.  So they sat side by side in their canoe, Oblate facing front, Orglaf facing back, and they paddled.  And before long, SWOOMF!  They were spinning like a top that spins in water.

Nerb and Neeb decided that they wanted to see if they could keep perfectly still in the river, so they waited for the current to turn their canoe in just the right way so they could jam their oars into the river bed and use them as a kind of anchor.  And with a little patience, Nerb and Neeb's canoe sat perfectly still while the river ran around them.

And Counselor One and Counselor Two sat on the side of the river and watched.  One group was sailing down the river.  Another group was spinning wildly in place.  A third group was not going anywhere.

Counselor One said to Counselor Two, "What do you want to do?"
