"Hurrah! Snap has solved the problem of a cabin!" shouted Whopper.
"I declare, Snap, you want to take out a license as an architect
and builder. We'll go to work to-morrow---as soon as we've gotten

handspring on some dead leaves, coming down on his back with a
thump. "Wow! I'll not try that again in a hurry!" he grunted.
"We can take turns at building," said Shep. "Each day two can
work on the cabin and two can go hunting or fishing. At the start
we needn't to go after anything but small game."
"That's it," said Snap. "But if any big game comes our way we can
bring it down."
"Or make a try at it," corrected Giant.
