CHAPTER ELEVEN

MAKING ONE BRANCH JOINED AT THE BASE SERVE FOR WHOLE ARRANGEMENT

TAKE a branch like the illustration and saw off the branch where it divides in two at the base at place marked "cut off here for Man branch." Lay this aside for Man. Where the branches join at the top and are marked "cut off for Earth," saw off there to form your Earth. The three branches, when cut off according to directions, form the shapes shown in the illustration.
