2. IT IS YOUR LITTLE BROTHER’S BIRTHDAY
You take your little brother to the store so
he can pick out a fishing pole for his
birthday.
Without a car, you and your brother ride a
bus into town.
He picks out a pole that is 5 feet long. You
buy it.
You ask if it can be taken apart to be
carried home easier on the bus. It
cannot. It is all one piece.

3. GETTING BACK ON THE BUS TO GO HOME,
As you board the bus with your brother and his fishing
pole, the bus driver points to a sign that says, “No
objects more than 4 feet long.” As a result, the bus
driver will not let you on the bus.
OH NO!
You have an idea. You can walk into a nearby store and
buy an item that will help with this dilemma. What
will you buy and how will it help? After this
solution, you will be able to ride the bus with your
brother and his gift.
