Hanzo and Phoebe surveyed the situation.

“It’s like a lake,” Hanzo declared. “Probably the subbasement is completely flooded.”

“So what do we do?” Phoebe asked.

“First we take off our clothes so we don’t get soaked,” Hanzo said.

Phoebe watched Hanzo work. When the big wheel wouldn’t turn, Hanzo used the wrench. Phoebe admired the way Hanzo employed his tool. Soon things appeared to be under control.

“My hero!” Phoebe gushed. “But there is one thing. My subbasement seems to be flooded. It’s like a little lake.”

“Never fear,” said Hanzo. “I have just the tool for that job.”

Okay, boys and girls, your task is to help Phoebe and Hanzo get Hanzo’s tool to do the job by starting with TOOL and changing one letter at a time, creating a real four letter word each time, first to get the right job and second to get the right tool.

For example, suppose you believe the job to be KISS.

TOOL
TOOT
MOOT
MOST
MIST
MISS
KISS

And suppose you believe the proper tool to be a tuba.

TOOL
COOL
COAL
COWL
BOWL
BOWS
BOBS
SOBS
SUBS
TUBS
