"Wow..." Claus said in awe he was staring at the unfinished tree house Jackie was building while he got the food. "Pretty amazing huh?" Jackie said there wasn't much to see of it right now there was only a wooden floor and wooden ladder. "How did you get all the supplies?" Claus asked "That is a good question it's like a whole story in itself "It all started when..."
Earlier that day...
'Rumble clank' went the metal tools in the large wagon being pulled by a horse. After chasing the cart that was taking Claus away to Tazmily she was looking at another wagon
Full of axes, shovels and hoes! She wanted to make a shelter and she found a great place for it in a not so high tree. There are other trees near it so the tree house could be a little lofty. Then she had a thought "I could surprise Claus with it!" But she needed a plan to get an axe or two. She could see the driver was a man with combed black hair he had a gruff body build, white shirt, brown overalls and black mustache going around his mouth. "Bronson forge this forge that. I enjoy my job but enough is enough!" The man grumbled "Sure hope Alec comes to Tazmily with his crops soon I'm famished!" He said not knowing someone was listening. "Well he sees gruff I can't just take it he'll notice and…" She shuddered she didn't want to go back to that wretched lab. "And Claus isn't here to do it for me… Oh I know!" She thought then hurried into the woods and grabbed a thick long stick but it could still easily snap and ran back out. Thankfully for Jackie the wagon wasn't moving along that fast she stooped behind the wagon and placed the stick in the wheel. And just as she hoped after some wheel turns under pressure the stick cracked in two! 'Snap!' "Huh what was that" The man asked himself got up and went over to the back wheel where he heard something break. All he found was a snapped branch and while he was confused Jackie snuck around and grabbed two shiny, sharp iron axes. Once the man was convinced it wasn't a big deal Jackie quickly darted back to the tree. And started chopping some trees which doing so made some noise. When she had a big stack of logs she cut the top of the desired tree off first she made a wooden ladder. Then laid down the floor
"Amazing how I did this as quickly as I did" Jackie said to herself stepping back looking at what she accomplished. Then she heard the rumble of wheels. "And yeah that's how I did it" Jackie finished "Whoa well we can work on it tomorrow" Claus said then yawned "Ok" Jackie said then the two climbed up the ladder leaving the food cart next to the tree and fell asleep.
