Tonka: "Mighty Crane"

I remember when I was 7 years old. We lived in the vicinity of a Cartimar. It is a small shopping center with small shops unlike the large malls that have now. You can purchase toys, pets (fish/dogs/cats, etc) You can bargain for prices when you shop there. Whenever my dad will pick me up from school, we would pass by this store that sells only toys and I would always ask my dad if I can get a Tonka Crane. It was very expensive during those days so we can't afford it. Basic needs has to come first. It was only 4 years ago when I finally got to purchase it. However, it is no longer for myself. I got it for my kids. Who I am kidding, it is for me as well...
