In a far away city called O’Sulliville, the main item to buy is the steel (metal) Scooby Statues.
Everyone in the town has something to do with Steel Scooby Statue making and the entire town is
designed to build and ship steel Scooby Statues. The town hall has the instructions for Statue making,
statues come in all shapes and sizes and any citizen of O’Sulliville can get the instructions to begin
making their own statues. Statues are generally produced in small shops around the city; these small
shops can be built by the different members of the carpenters union.
After the statue is constructed, they are placed on special carts which can deliver the statues
anywhere in the city. In order for a statue to be exported, the carts take the statue to the postal
office, where the statues are packaged and labeled for export, they travel down long conveyor belts.
Sometimes statues don't turn out right, and the "rejects" are sent to the scrap/junk yard where they
are broken down for parts or destroyed altogether. The town powers the statue shops and carts from
a hydraulic dam (hydro power) that is in the city. The entire city is enclosed by a large wooden fence,
just on the inside of the fence there is a line of guards that allow only the postal trucks (and citizens
with proper passports allowed in and out of the city).
Match the parts of the city (underlined) with the parts of the cell and describe its function.
