It was ____________________ , thin and practically every room was on a ____________________ floor . I had an 18 - month - old son and he had a little ____________________ . You can ? t really let an 18 - month - old with a tricycle ride around in a house with all these stairs because he would just go tumbling down . We didn ? t have a ____________________ , either . But just across the lane we had a country graveyard . I would take my son and his tricycle down all the stairs and across the lane where he would go tricycling around the graveyard very ____________________ . And I would sit on the steps outside watching him in the graveyard . One day I thought , I could do something just like The Jungle Book !
