Mr Tappit's Giant Toy

Mr Tappit was famous in his
village as a toy maker and he had been
making toys for more than 􀃀 fty years.
He always had a healthy condition
too. Children loved to visit his shop
and look at the shelves full of toys.
everyone was very fond of old Mr
Tappit, especially all his toys, who
loved him dearly.

After his work was done and the
toyshop was closed, they would play
games and have fun together. Quite often
the toys and Mr Tappit had the most
wonderful parties, and sometimes they
went on picnics if the weather was 􀃀 ne.
One day Mr Tappit sat in the corner
of his shop, quietly thinking to himself.
"What is it?" asked the clown doll.
"Do you have a problem?"
"Not at all," smiled Mr Tappit.


"I had a bright idea. I am going to
build the biggest toy I have ever made,
and I want you toys to help me!"
The toy's couldnt wait to get
started. Early next morning they
gathered all the tools while Mr Tappit
measured the pieces of wood, then
marked them with his pencil.
"This toy will be the biggest ever
seen" cried Mr Tappit, as he ran rushly
around the shop looking for his glue
pot. "Infact, it will be a GIANT!"
"Of course not" smiled Mr Tappit.
"It's just a giant toy!" It took a whole
week and a lot of patient, but at last
the giant toy was 􀃀 nished.
"You've all worked very hard,"
said Mr Tappit with a smile and he
stepped back to take a look.


"Not a real giant, I hope," whispered
a little doll in a shaky voice. "I'm really
frightened of giants."
All the toys put down their paint
pots and brushes and stepped back to.
"Isn't it wonderful?" they cried, and
everyone clapped and cheered.
The giant toy was a great success.
After Mr Tappit had gazed for a while
at the wonderful toy he had made, he
heaved a sigh and scratched his head.


"Where should I keep this giant
toy? It's too big to place inside the
shop...
""Just place it on the 􀃀 eld," cried
the little doll.
"Oh I got it, I will keep it outside
my shop, so everyone who see it will
come by to my shop." said Mr Tappit
happily.
