Lesson 5 No wrong numbers
Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought
another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury,
but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just
bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message
from Pinburst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance the first three
minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare
parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this
way, he has begun his own private‘telephone’service.
