A key, divided and welded back together. A penny under every single floorboard. A computer chip fashioned to look like a smiley face. It seems the former owner of the little red house was quite obsessed with talismans. The more that Beaver and Domo chew through all the things that were built incorrectly, the more tiny charms they find. Mr. Fix-Nothing put up a beam to support a ceiling that didn't quite reach high enough-- he plopped a good luck penny on top of it in hopes that the roof wouldn't fall.
But when it comes to supporting an entire structure, painted feathers only go so far. Beaver has a jar full of Mr. Fix-Nothing's thingamajigs, but if the house hasn't fallen, it's thanks more to the teamwork of Sir Domo and his new sidekick, the carpenter, a macaw from Chicopee who works fast, and clean.
