A boy goes and buys a one-piece fishing pole that is 6' 3" long. As he goes to get on the bus, the bus driver tells him that he can't take anything on the bus longer than 6'.

The boy goes back to town, buys one more thing, and the bus driver allows him on the bus.

He did not damage the fishing pole in any way.

What did he buy, and what did he do with it?

(In reply to solution is wrong by donnmike)

Not much of one. The box isn't LONGer than 6; we are talking about its length. Long = length. It isn't wider than 6 wide, and isn't higher than 6 high.
