My brother, Rizal, and I made the garden benches after my father cut down the old mango tree behind our house three weeks ago. We saw a big piece of wood. Then we had an idea. We told Dad we wanted to make garden benches. He agreed and he would help us. Then he sawed the trunk into three pieces; 25 cm in diameter, and 25 cm in height. After that, Rizal and I rubbed them with sandpaper to make them smooth. After that, we dried them in the sun for one week. When they were dry, we painted them, one green, one red, and one blue. Finally, we dried them in the sun again for three days.
