Twin Mint Sprout Balancing

Two small ceramic eggcups sat side by side on the sunny painted sill, each sprouting fresh green mint sprigs! Time for an early gardening tune-up. I scrambled up the radiator cover and hopped right onto the painted wood. The stems leaned crooked toward the pane, totally asymmetrical! I leaned my arms against the left cup and spun it clockwise—one!—so its tallest leaves faced the sun. Then I bounded over to the right cup and gave it an exact mirror twist—two! Now both leafy tops flared out into a pair of cheerful green antennae.
