Declan had to write a story about how to help a lady get her cat off the roof. He wrote that he'd get a ladder and lean it against a nearby tree. When the fire truck shows up, he'd throw the firehose around a tree limb, climb the ladder, and swing from the tree to the roof using the hose. Then he'd throw a spider toward the ground and it would make an instant web he could use to climb safely down with the cat.
I asked him why he wouldn't just lean the ladder against the house to get to the roof and rescue the cat, and he said "This is way funner!"
