.n a !ar a0ay city called ;rant City, the main e8port and production product is the steel 0idget*
E$eryone in the to0n has something to do 0ith steel 0idget ma(ing and the entire to0n is designed

to )uild and e8port 0idgets* #he to0n hall has the instructions !or 0idget ma(ing, 0idgets come in
all shapes and si:es and any citi:en o! ;rant can get the instructions and )egin ma(ing their o0n
0idgets* Widgets are generally produced in small shops around the city, these small shops can )e
)uilt )y the carpenterAs union /0hose headBuarters are in to0n hall1*
A!ter the 0idget is constructed, they are placed on special carts 0hich can deli$er the 0idget
any0here in the city* .n order !or a 0idget to )e e8ported, the carts ta(e the 0idget to the postal
o!!ice, 0here the 0idgets are pac(aged and la)eled !or e8port* &ometimes 0idgets donAt turn out
right, and the Cre<ectsC are sent to the scrap yard 0here they are )ro(en do0n !or parts or destroyed
