The bars must be high enough to allow the monkey to turn without touching the ground—4½ inches high will just do if length of monkey from B to C (Fig. 464) is 4½ inches.
Fig. 466 shows two clowns swinging together; a variety of funny figures can be made to follow each other along the bars.

KITES, GLIDERS, AND AEROPLANES
Kites. Perhaps one of the easiest kites to make is one which the children of Annam and Tonking delight to play with. To make it, three light bamboo canes are required—about 2 feet in length—those used for flower-sticks will do quite well. Tie them strongly together as in Fig. 467.
