Jane the cub had a mend stand at the mall. She had a long list today.
First, Jane fixed a bent lamp. "That will cost one buck," she said. Then she fixed a tin box with a dent. Then she mended a vest with a rip.
Last on the list was little Jim. Jim had a soft plush pup. The pup had a split leg, and fluff fell out.
"Can you fix him?" said Jim. "I have no cash at all."
Jane felt the soft pup. "I can mend him," she said. "This one is a gift."
Jane mended the split leg fast. Jim hugged his pup. Then he put his last mint in Jane's hand.
"A mint for the best mend stand!" said Jim.
Jane grinned and ate it.
