²     Tess and Wendy had just entered Tess's back yard. They found Tim sitting on the ground. Pieces of Tess's bicycle were all around him.
 
³     "I think I can make it go faster," said Tim. "I took it apart. Now I'm not sure if I can put it back together."
 
⁴     "Maybe we should get some help," said Wendy. "I just read about a bike shop where we might find someone to help us. Let's go to my house and get the dice."
 
⁵     "How are the dice going to help us?" asked Tess.
 
⁶     "You'll see," answered Wendy. "Leave the pieces, Tim. We'll get them when we come back."

The railroad station had the words Dayton, Ohio, painted on its side. A calendar hung outside a building that had a sign reading General Store. The calendar was from 1903. In front of the children was a small building with a work space at the side. Two men were busy in the work space. There were bicycles and bicycle parts all around them.
