Fish, who was fairly athletically adept, scrambled ahead of Miles. While he was still a bit small for the proportions of the climbing structure, he wasn't afraid of taking random leaps of faith that usually paid off. He reached the top of the structure and looked back at his new friend, who to his dismay was still far below him.
He sighed a very exaggerated sigh and backtracked down the gym until he was perched a single rung above the other boy.
"Here," he said, reaching a hand down. "I help you."

Miles looked up to see Fish, and smiled. He reached out a hand to take his friend's. "Fank you." He said. "How you climb so fast? Is hard!" He was filled with wonder at the boy's achievement. But then he realized..
He'd lost another race! That made him a double-rotten-egg! He wouldn't lose the next race, anyway. He was sure of it. He'd never be a triple-rotten-egg. Never.

"Is hard," nodded Fish in solemn agreement, giving Miles a mostly-ineffectual tug upwards. "I practice." He started moving upwards again, slowly so Miles could follow. "You practice, too, then you get better," he explained. This logic was totally sound to him. Anything could be achieved through practice.

Miles nodded, he liked Fish's logic. "I practice--and soon I be as good as you!" He decided with a smile. He climbed quickly so he was beside Fish. "I did it." He said, with a grin. He seemed to have finally gotten the hang of it--not really. He still struggled with reaching the bars, but he was willing to stretch.

"Uh huh!" nodded Fish happily. He climbed the last few bars to the top of the dome and looked out over the playground like a king surveying his kingdom.
"S'cool up here," he enthused to Miles when the other boy caught up. "S' really cool."
