[00:15.79]Mr.James Scott has a garage in Silbury
[00:19.91]and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst.
[00:25.60]Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury,
[00:29.72]but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage,
[00:34.57]so he has just bought twelve pigeons.

[00:50.86]Mr.Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts
[00:56.05]and other urgent messages from one garage to the other.
