Hi, neighbor.
It's me. Mom Tiger.

I have something
I want to show you.

This is
our neighborhood playground.

Can you see what's broken?

The swing is broken. Come on!

So, I build and fix
things made out of wood.

I'm going to fix this swing

so it's safe for everyone!

Now, I have special tools

to fix things,
and my favorite sound is...

(buzzing)

The zip, zip, zip of my drill!

(buzzing)
(laughing)

Perfect. Come on!

Now... I've got
to tie this new seat

back onto the swing.!

Nice and sturdy!

(chuckling)

I hope Daniel and his friends
like the new swing!

- Mom!

You fixed the swing!

This is grr-ific!

Thanks, Mom.

- You're welcome, my tiger!

Making and fixing things
for the people I love

makes me feel happy.

I wonder if there's
someone in your neighborhood

who fixes things. Bye, neighbor!
