15 poles? Ira had hopped for 15 poles? She looked back and was hardly able to believe that she had hopped all the way from the start! She caught the 15th pole and leaned to it lightly. She was tired now! Come on Ira! Only 5 more! she cheered for herself in her mind. Oh, how she would love to use magic right now and levitate herself to the 20th pole!

But of course, she couldn't do that. She exhaled and then taking a deep breath, pulled her sack back and began. She would hop on now till the last pole.

Hop! Hop! Hop! Hop! Here came the 16th pole! Whew!
