After several such breaks, Jack got an idea. He found that there was a map of the world in the evening paper. He showed the map to Tim. Then he cut it into pieces and told Tim to put the map together again. He thought this would keep Tim busy for a long time and he could complete his work. However, in about four minutes, Tim excitedly told Jack he had finished the task. Jack was surprised and asked the boy how he had done it so quickly. Tim said there was a picture of a man on the other side of the newspaper. So I just turned it over and put the man together. When I got the man right, the world was right.‎ ‎17. T 18. T 19. F 20.
