Albert has found a wonderful, beautiful thing in the People's backyard. An old shoe! And it's the perfect clubhouse for him to play in if only he can fit it inside the playroom. Non-standard units of measurement. |
“"What else can we measure with?" Wanda asked. "It has to be one size. Not like mouse feet! And it has to stay the same size. Not like a cheese stick!"Albert thought for a moment. "Paper clips!" he said. [...] Albert measured. The playroom was seven paper clips long.”
