Meet the cast — the characters who teach this
-
Nims One step at a time (hero) - Nims the goat, the novice runner who can climb UP only one step at a time: a drop too deep is an unfair trap, so build the course fair for him -
Plank Bridge the pit - Plank the beaver, who fixes a deep pit by bridging it: stack blocks or lay a step so the climb out is only one step high, a fair way through -
Spotter Test, then fix the stuck spot - Spotter the meerkat, who does not guess: she sends Nims to test the course, watches exactly where he gets stuck, fixes that one spot, and tests again -
Fairley Fair is every climb, all the way - Fairley the tortoise, who checks every single climb from start to flag: even one climb too deep is a trap, so a fair course has no traps left
