9、 had been in the Cub Scouts (童子军团) only a short time. Once he was handed a sheet of paper, a block of wood and four tires and told to return home and give them all to his father. That was not an easy task for Gilbert to do. The piece of paper was a set of instructions about how to build a wooden rac

10、ing car. Gilberts father laughed when he read the instructions. The block of wood remained untouched as the weeks passed.Finally, I stepped in to see if I could figure it all out.
