Martin says, “Hey! Let's build a treehouse!”
Amy says, “I bet there's some wood in the shed we can use. Let's ask Liz.”

Martin says, “Wow, there sure are a lot of tools. I'll get my wagon to carry the ones we need.”

Liz says, “I'll help with the wood. Don't forget your safety glasses.”
Click says, “Giddyap, Martin!”

Martin says, “Oh boy! I love working with tools!”
Amy says, “This toolbelt keeps everything so organized!”
