Kids Corner: Go Car by Emohney

Go Car

Did you ever have a car that didn't want to start? Well, you should try out my contraption. It's called the "Go Car". Just read my story and find out how it works.

First, I drop a rock on one side of the lever. Then, a ball flies and hits the pole. After that, the call goes down the slide. Next, the ball comes down and hits the hand. The hand foes up and hits the boot. Finally, the boot hits the bucket. A rock comes down and lands on another lever. It hits the car making the car zoom away.

So, how do you feel about my contraption? Do you think it would help your car go? Try it and see!
