A Toy

Hi Bloglanders,
Today I'd like you to write about a toy you had as a child. Actually, I don't remember that many toys from my childhood but one that people in my family used to talk about a lot is a toy wheelbarrow I had when I was about 3 or 4 years old. I lived in the countryside in Wales as a young child and my dad was a keen gardener. I was given the wheelbarrow as a birthday or christmas present and I used it to help my dad with his vegetables. It was a blue wheelbarrow, made out of metal, with yellow handles and red wheels. I guess it must have been quite small but, at the time time, it seemed rather large to me.
I can't remember if it came with a spade or not, but I do remember they I played with it all the time. Apparently, according to my older sisters, I was quite a businessman. I used to sell caterpillars to some Italian children who lived near us. I'd collect the caterpillars from my dad's cabbages and wheel them round the neighbourhood selling them. I think the Italian boys used them as fishing bait. I don't know what happened to the wheelbarrow. We moved to the city when I was 6 years old and I don't remember seeing it after that.
