Getting In the Wheelbarrow
Many years ago a French man named Charles Blondin strung a tightrope across Niagara Falls, and proceeded to traverse the raging waters. A crowd gathered as he successfully made his way back to his starting place. "Who here believes I can cross over Niagara Falls again, but this time pushing a wheelbarrow?" he asked. The crowd began shouting, "We believe, we believe!" Sure enough, Blondin steered that wheelbarrow successfully across the Falls and back, to the applause of the onlookers. "Who here believes Ï can cross over Niagara Falls a 3rd time, this time with a man in the wheelbarrow?" The crowd could barely control their enthusiasm. "We believe! We believe!' they shouted. Blondin replied,"Ok. Then who will be my first volunteer in the wheelbarrow?"
