A helper’s useful question

C02 · A helper’s useful question

Complete fictional source

At a pretend mending shelf, a paper puppet has a loose arm and an undecorated hat. The helper can begin with the arm or the hat. The puppet-maker needs it to move for a short scene. The supplied maker answer is: ‘Please start with the loose arm. I want the puppet to wave.’ There is no claim about a real tool, glue, sewing needle or repair service. The helper asks, ‘Which part should I work on first for your scene?’ A separate note says the maker may decorate the hat later. The arm-first answer does not prove that the hat has already been decorated.
