Franklin’s sailboat 富兰克林的帆船 Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He could drive pretend children to school in his school bus and Put out pretend fires with his toy fire truck. But one day, Franklin wondered if his toy sailboat was good enough to win a real race. I could hang the broom and rake on these wall hooks. Oh, all those nuts and bolts could go into these storage bins! I have an idea, Dad. Just build a new shed and you won’t have to clean up the old one. Now there’s a simple solution. But I think I’ll do it the more affordable way. I know it looks like overwhelming job, but once there’s a place to put everything, it shouldn’t get so messy again.

Don’t worry Franklin, your dad will help you fix it. I know. As soon as he’s done cleaning the shed. And who knows how long that will take. Sounds like your Dad’s pretty busy in there. He was busy in there all day yesterday too. Oh, hello boys. What are you up to today? I’m going to the
