"We can fix the boat."(p. 8)

One day, Mr. Walsh and his son, Ryan put their old boat on the boat secretly. The next morning, some students come to the beach and find this old boat. They want this but this is not useful. So they try to fix and paint again. Does this boat become useful?

If I find old boat I don't think I want to repair it, but the students tried to it. They are very curious. Their interests are important. Their skills of repairing is also so good.
