Forgot Something!
It was dark behind the Railway Road services building when the Fire Brigade held 'its practice the other night, but the group at the pump could still see the figure of the Fireman who hurried out with the first branch. Nor- was it dark enough for him to vanish as suddenly as he did. Surely this was strange? Enlightenment came to those who hurried forward in his wake when they saw a pair of muddy hands -clawing at the parapet of the river bank. Intent on his job, Fireman No. 1 had dashed straight out into thin air and come down into thick, evilsmelling mud. His mates can’t help chipping him about being a plumber. They say he forgot where the road was.
