Inside a sunlit workshop, Hank kneels beside a small display cart tightening a wheel with a wrench. Frank stands nearby, grinning proudly and gesturing toward a row of colorful gadgets on the workbench.
Hank tightened a wheel on his display. "I love building things," said Hank. "I love selling great stuff!" said Frank. A friend had introduced them. "Let's team up!" they decided.
Under bright workshop lights, sketch pages taped to the wall, Hank and Frank paint the wooden sides of their partially built cart vibrant blue. Screws, wheels and paint cans lie scattered on the floor at their knees.
They sketched an idea for a cart that Frank sold. "Customers can meet and talk and share," said Hank. "We'll learn what they need," said Frank. They gathered parts and painted. "Ready to roll!" they said.
In a sunny park clearing, the finished cart sits between trees as Hank waves cheerfully beside a 'Welcome' sign. Frank smiles while handing small sample gadgets to three excited kids gathered around.
They rolled the cart to the park. "Welcome! Tell us what you think, and talk to each other too," called Hank. Frank showed samples, listening carefully. Kids shared ideas together. "Higher shelves help," said Hank, as Frank adjusted bolts.
Soft orange sunset light bathes the quiet park where Hank and Frank sit cross-legged on the grass beside their humming cart. They lean over an open notebook, smiling as they jot new route ideas.
By sunset, the cart buzzed happily. "We brought customers closer to us, and closer to each other," said Hank and Frank. They scribbled ideas and planned for more learning tomorrow. They promised to keep building and selling.
