TRAILER FOR A TOY TRACTOR

dimensions: 6x4x5 cm
weight: 0.04 kg
— So, Volodya, you like this cart, huh? Well, here's how it was made. Grandad made it. Why did he make it? Because this big (toy) tractor that you see here should have had a trailer but it didn't. And he (the grandson – editor) said, "Grandad, will you make me a trailer?" And he said, "Ok Vanya, I'll make you one". So here it is. This is made out of linoleum or fiberboard or something. The body is linoleum. And the fittings here – we bought this stuff for the greenhouse. Well we didn't buy it really – we just got some. This is some kind of aluminum stuff – like a tape. He made the cart's fittings from it. The wheels are from a child's wagon (...) He'd carry sand around in it. Then his friend came around and they broke it. After they'd broken it he'd fix it. This he called a tow bar. "Grandad, my tow bar broke off". He put it all together. And his grandson was happy carting sand about… Everyone was happy.
