Peter was the talk of the neighborhood. He was building a house. Building it all by himself. One step at a time. The first year he put in his foundation. Then, before he could put the walls up, he ran out of money. He left the foundation open to the winter weather and in the spring he had to fix the cracks caused by freezing water. Then he began the walls.
By the end of the second year, Peter had again run out of money. This time, the foundation was fixed, the walls were up and the roof was on. However, there were no doors or windows. Peter covered the openings with plastic.
