The workshop and its paper kit

Title: The workshop and its paper kit. The Sign That Wanted to Be Tall Sol stood a toy-town workshop sign on the drawing table. At its top was a picture of a paper dragon. “I want visitors to spot our dragon picture,” Sol said. Casey sat on a low stool beside the table. “I can read the big word Dragon,” Casey said, “but I can't see the top picture from here.” Sol looked at the tall sign. “I wanted it to look like a tower.” Casey pointed to the blank lower part. “Could another picture go there?” Sol drew a second dragon picture on a separate card and put it on the lower part of the sign. The tall picture stayed where it was. “Now I can ask which picture you want to look at,” Sol said. Casey laughed. “My dragon would have a tiny door.” The two characters began drawing doors. The story ends with their drawing; it does not say whether Casey could see the second picture or whether a visitor arrived. Full diagram relationships: The invented workshop shows a table, a tall sign with a dragon picture at the top and a separate second dragon picture lower down. Sol stands beside it. Casey sits on a low stool. Speech labels say Sol: I want visitors to spot our dragon picture; Casey: I can read the big word Dragon, but I cannot see the top picture from here. No later viewing result is shown. What This Paper Kit Contains This invented kit has a flat scrap sheet, a folded sheet and three picture cards. The flat sheet has no fold made by this kit. The folded sheet has one crease; two parts meet there. Each picture card has a named picture: boat, coat or rope. The lid list reads: flat sheet, folded sheet, picture cards. The list names what is in this kit; it does not tell the order for making a stand. The kit drawing shows the cards in a side pocket and the sheets in a wide pocket. These are positions in this invented kit, not rules for every real kit.
