When they reached home, Richard lost no time in constructing a truck to carry the chest. “It is a good job we've got these small wheels,” he said, “otherwise it would be difficult. We should never be able to lift it on to anything with big wheels.” “You’ve certainly made a good job of it, anyway,” Polly chuckled, “and I've an idea for some fun with it after we’ve used it for carrying the chest.” “What is it?” asked Gwen. “Never mind now! Just wait and see,” answered Polly.

Gwen and Richard hauled the truck through the woods to colect the chest. They found it was not at all an easy task to pull it over the rough ground, even without anything on it. “My!” said Richard, “it’s heavy work pulling the empty truck! What it will be like when we get the chest on it, I don’t know.” “Never mind!” said Polly. “If the chest is full of gold and silver, it will be worth it.”
