L46-3: Do ityourself
Inevitably therepair job was not quite so simple. The mower firmly refused to mow, so I decidedto dismantle it. The garden was soon littered with chunks of metal which hadonce made up a lawn mower. But I was extremely pleased with myself. I hadtraced the cause of the trouble. One of the links in the chain that drives thewheels had snapped. After buying a new chain I was faced with theinsurmountable task of putting the confusing jigsaw puzzle together again. Iwas not surprised to find that the machine still refused to work after I hadreassembled it, for the simple reason that I was left with several curiouslyshaped bits of metal which did not seem to fit anywhere. I gave up in despair.The weeks passed and the grass grew. When my wife nagged me to do somethingabout it, I told her that either I would have to buy a new mower or let thegrass grow. Needless to say our house is now surrounded by a jungle. Buriedsomewhere in deep grass there is a rusting lawn mower which I have promised torepair one day.
