Grandpa’s hobby was making birdhouses. He always said, “A
man has to keep busy to stay out of trouble.” Leigh wasn’t sure how
much trouble Grandpa could get into anyway, since he was such a
nice guy, but she tried to listen to his advice. Besides, she liked to
help him on his birdhouses.
Grandpa’s shop was full of well-oiled and carefully-kept tools.
Whenever he used something, he put it back in exactly the right
place. He had rules about how he treated his tools, because he
hated buying something new if the old one still worked. He also
made sure to clean up his messes each time he worked on
something.
