A child's attention is diverted by a carpenter's folding wood ruler. The child happily turns it into a variety of shapes; but when the child fashions a whale, deep water rushes in. Fortunately, the carpenter has (all along) been building a boat. Escape! The wordless spreads are effortless to read: all the illustrative detail is restricted to the materials on the carpenter's bench.
