What's wrong with it?
You can read the signpost for an exact quote, but in short: spring's missing.
Where am I going to find a spring?
Springs are often found in old mattresses; check the spots in town that're most likely to have a mattress laying around.
Where do you suggest?
Anywhere that looks run-down and is out of the way.
Tell me where to look

Where should I look?
Search the trash can on the far right for TWO useful items! It really is Christmas!
What are they?
A boring monkey wrench and an exciting Jumpy Joe toy.
Jumpy Joe happens to be a spring with googly-eyes - exactly what we need to repair the bear trap.
Hooray!
By combining Jumpy Joe and the bear trap, we've put the 'deadly' in 'deadly trap!'
