For the platform (A) saw a piece of three-eighths wood, eight inches long by three and a half inches wide, and plane it on both sides and round the edges. Cut four pieces of three-eighths, wood, to the sizes given at B, for the wheel bearings, and screw these to the platform, as shown in the centre sketch, at a distance of three quarters of an inch from each end.

Mike the monkey wanted to go fishing, but he had no line, and didn't know how to get one.
