The bit of wood which formed this neck was also sharpened at the upper end, and when all was ready Tip put on the pumpkin head, pressing it well down onto the neck, and found that it fitted very well. THE BIT OF WOOD WHICH FORMED THIS NECK WAS ALSO SHARPENED AT THE UPPER END AND WHEN ALL WAS READY TIP PUT ON THE PUMPKIN HEAD PRESSING IT WELL DOWN ONTO THE NECK AND FOUND THAT IT FITTED VERY WELL
een accomplished it began to grow dark, and Tip remembered he must milk the cow and feed the pigs. So he picked up his wooden man and carried it back to the house with him. During the evening, by the light of the fire in the kitchen, Tip carefully rounded all the edges of the joints and smoothed the rough places in a neat and workmanlike manner. Then he stood the figure up against the wall and admired it. It seemed remarkably tall, even for a full-grown man; but that was a good point in a small boy’s eyes, and Tip did not object at all to the size of his creation. Next morning, when he looked at his work again, Tip saw he had forgotten to give the dummy a neck, by means of which he might fasten the pumpkinhead to the body. So he went again to the forest, which was not far away, and chopped from a tree several pieces of wood with which to complete his work. When he returned he fastened a cross-piece to the upper end of the body, making a hole through the center to hold upright the neck. TIME THIS FEAT HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IT BEGAN TO GROW DARK AND TIP REMEMBERED HE MUST MILK THE COW AND FEED THE PIGS SO HE PICKED UP HIS WOODEN MAN AND CARRIED IT BACK TO THE HOUSE WITH HIM DURING THE EVENING BY THE LIGHT OF THE FIRE IN THE KITCHEN TIP CAREFULLY ROUNDED ALL THE EDGES OF THE JOINTS AND SMOOTHED THE ROUGH PLACES IN A NEAT AND WORKMANLIKE MANNER THEN HE STOOD THE FIGURE UP AGAINST THE WALL AND ADMIRED IT IT SEEMED REMARKABLY TALL EVEN FOR A FULL GROWN MAN BUT THAT WAS A GOOD POINT IN A SMALL BOY'S EYES AND TIP DID NOT OBJECT AT ALL TO THE SIZE OF HIS CREATION NEXT MORNING WHEN HE LOOKED AT HIS WORK AGAIN TIP SAW HE HAD FORGOTTEN TO GIVE THE DUMMY A NECK BY MEANS OF WHICH HE MIGHT FASTEN THE PUMPKINHEAD TO THE BODY SO HE WENT AGAIN TO THE FOREST WHICH WAS NOT FAR AWAY AND CHOPPED FROM A TREE SEVERAL PIECES OF WOOD WITH WHICH TO COMPLETE HIS WORK WHEN HE RETURNED HE FASTENED A CROSS PIECE TO THE UPPER END OF THE BODY MAKING A HOLE THROUGH THE CENTRE TO HOLD UPRIGHT THE NECK
