  2. A catapult is a toy I have made. At first you get a forked stick with a handle at the end of it, something like this Y, then you get two pieces of rubber about six inches long, then a piece of leather. You tie the leather to the ends of the rubber, and then the other ends of the rubber to the forks of the stick, then you have a catapult. It is used for throwing small stones.
