Once when I was a little boy I received as a gift a toy cement mixer. It was made of wood excepts for its wheel—axles—which, as I remember, were thin metal rods. I’m ninety per cent sure it was a Christmas gift. I liked it the same way a boy that age likes toy dump trucks, ambulances, tractor-trailer, and whatnot. There are little boys who like trains and little boy who like vehicule—I like the latter.
