Pickle

Abstract

My brother looks like any other 7 year old brother. He is 137 cm tall and weighs about 30 kgs. He even looks a bit like me, except he is shorter and a little wider. Like any 7 year old, he loves riding his bike, swimming, jumping on the tramp and watching cartoons on TV. At the moment his favorite activity is cycling over to the neighbors and raiding their biscuit tin. Unfortunately he is not a very good burglar, because he leaves a trail of biscuit crumbs on the floor. He knows all about cars. For example, he knows you have to fill the petrol tank up with water from the garden hose. And if anyone is silly enough to leave the keys in the ignition, he will drive the car through the garage wall. In fact, he is a specialist mechanic, at least he can take things apart, but he is not so good at putting them together again. He can speak well too, but this is where it gets strange. You see, we don’t always understand what he is talking about and he can’t answer questions.
