Boys' Toys

Published Monday, Mar 12 2001, 04:56 GMT | By Neil Wilkes
Urged by the DIY bug, Jack went on the hunt for wood in the garden in order to make a bow and arrow.

As he arrived back in the living room, goods in hand, Anthea joked: "He's back with some ammunition," and then pointed to Jack's toolbox where, she said: "He keeps things there to make little things out of."

Getting laces out of the affectionately known 'rocket box', Jack announced to the group that the making of a catapult would be 'the evening's entertainment'.



After saying the wood was 'perfect', Keith added: "We could cut it in half and make two."

So Jack got busy cutting it with a kitchen knife - an eager Keith looking over his shoulder. With that task completed, his mind then turned to the making of a crossbow.

Turning to Keith he said: "If we had a smaller bow as well, we could make a crossbow and that would be even better."

With boyish expressions of concentration, they got down to tying the laces to the end of the bow, but it wasn't as easy a task as they had initially thought.

"We need a bit of thin plywood," suggested Keith, to Jack's murmur of approval. But, regardless, they continued, while Anthea and Claire joked in the kitchen about their intentions for making the 'ammunition.'
