A grandfather bought a hobby horse by mail
order as a Christmas present for his
granddaughter.

The toy arrived in 189 pieces.

The instructions said that it could be
put together in an hour.
However, it took the old man two days
to assemble the toy.

Finally, when it was all put together, he wrote
a check, cut it into 189 pieces and mailed it
off to the company.
