Todd heard all the hammering behind the Marseys house. He went to see what was going on. Jeff Marsey was making something from long pieces of wood.
"What is it?" Todd asked.
"A pair of stilts," Jeff said.
Todd knew that stilts could make you several feet taller. Jeff was putting blocks of wood on the stilts. These were for his feet to rest on. Once you got used to them, you could walk anywhere on stilts.
"Im also making a pair of long pants," Jeff said. "Theyll come all the way down and cover the stilts. Ill look like a giant. "
