Soon, Clancy with the help of his new friend Millie is building towers to the sky and trains to the street outside, and together they build the home that Clancy thought he had lost forever. ‘I love my new home,’ says Clancy’s mother. ‘It’s the best house.’ ‘It’s a very fine dwelling,’ says Clancy’s father. ‘It’s too big,’ whispers Clancy.
