Jane had a grand vision for a tree fort. She wanted to build it high up in the big oak tree in her yard. She wanted her fort to be a quiet place to read and hide. Up in the thick leaves, she and her friends would be almost invisible from the street below.
First, Jane sat at her desk to visualize the fort. She took out a pencil and made a visual map of the tree branches. Then, she showed her dad a preview of her plan. Her dad liked it, but he had to supervise the big job to keep her safe.
"I think this branch is just too weak," her dad said, pointing at the paper. "You need to make a quick revision to this plan so the fort will hold us up." Jane rubbed out the lines and fixed the drawing. Now the plan was perfect.
Jane held the paper map and went outside. She had to check for evidence of bugs or rot on the tree trunk. The tree looked strong and safe, with no bad spots at all. It was time to start!
The next day, her pal Dave came over for a visit. As a helpful visitor, Dave packed up a lot of wood and nails. He took them to the base of the tree for Jane and her dad to use.
Jane and her dad worked hard on the fort all week. Soon, the big job was done. From the ground, the fort was just a bit visible in the thick green leaves. But when Jane and Dave climbed up, it was amazing.
They had a beautiful vista of the whole town from the top. They sat in the tree and rested in the shade. It was much better than sitting inside to watch television. Jane was very proud of her hard work.
