A sense of anticipation bubbled inside Leo as he surveyed the damage. The ancient willow was now splintered, blocking the walkway to Mrs. Chen's garden shed. He felt a thrill course through him.

He glanced at his own shed, picturing the tools inside. This event presented a unique challenge. He'd always wanted to build a small carving out of the branches.

Mrs. Chen emerged from her back door, her brow furrowed. Leo called out, his voice filled with an eagerness he couldn't quite contain. “Don’t you fret! I'll be there soon."
