  2. Toys and Playthings

    Share Share Post
    A few years ago, boys used to play with soakers. They would get a piece of leather or the tongue of an old show. Then they put a hole in it and put a strong cord in it. Put the soaker in water for an hour and get a big flat stone and press the soaker on it and it will stick to the stone and you can lift it and carry it for yards.
