Fig.179 - Put in a slanting crosspiece.
Fig.180 - The finished section and the way to begin a new section of the fence.
Begin another section by sticking one end of a toothpick into a new pea and the other end into the upper pea at the left side of the section you have just finished ([Fig. 180]), then put in half a toothpick for the upright, a pea on the bottom of that, a whole toothpick for the slanting crosspiece, and another whole toothpick for the bottom.
In this way you can keep on adding section after section and make your fence any length. To turn a corner all you have to do is to push the toothpicks which form the upper and lower crosspieces of a new section in at the back of the top and bottom peas of an end section of the fence.
The Tropical Plant
You will notice that in the illustration there is a plant growing at the side of the house which looks something like a cactus and adds to the tropical, or hot-country look of the little greeny people's home.
