--- What does 'No wrong numbers' mean? |
[00:20.520] |
Mr.James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. |
[00:32.120] |
Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, |
[00:36.840] |
but Mr.Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, |
[00:42.480] |
so he has just bought twelve pigeons. |
[00:47.120] |
Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. |
[00:53.720] |
The bird covered the distance in three minutes. |
[00:58.080] |
Up to now, Mr.Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. |
[01:08.600] |
In this way, he has begun his own private 'telephone' service. |
