Susan causes water damage to the hutch

Susan goes to the shed to look for things to help her, soon emerging disappointed (but carrying a small basket of heavy, coloured balls), and telling Alex that she had hoped that she would find a slingshot.

Susan throws one of the balls through the window of the hutch, and the ball hits the balloon, but it does not burst. Susan concludes that her aim is good but her equipment is bad, and goes back to the shed to seek out alternatives.

She returns with a fishing rod, and tries to poke the balloon with it, through the window. However, the force of her poke instead causes the French horn bell to roll, dropping the balloon off of the table.

Apparently operating under the assumption that the balloon must remain where it was when the task began, Susan tries to steady the bell by placing a tool box behind it, and then tries poking the balloon with the fishing rod again. Once again, her poke just sends the balloon rolling out of its holder and onto the table.

Susan then tries uses the rod to push the balloon against the side of the hutch, and it eventually pops, spilling water all over the table and dripping onto the wooden floor.

Susan bursts the balloon from 71 aspirins’ distance, and earns fourth place.
