502 - ALOUD

ALexAnder was scrambling over the scaffolding, jumping across gaps from plank to plank from dawn until the gloam of evening, building his dream house. Sir Reginald was taking a stroll. Although he looked quite aloof he was a pleasant enough bloke. "Aloha", called out Alexander; Sir Reggy merely nodded his head. Next to the new building was an old house that had blocked and cracked guttering. During heavy rain water would slosh out making a slippery pathway and Sir Reggy hoped that the owner would take it in hand and get the place fixed up. Sir Reggy went as far as the disused mine shaft to make sure the security fences were all intact. They had been disturbed which made Sir Reggy angry and concerned at the same time. He called out aloud "Is there anyone down in there?" "Yes", came a faint reply, "can you get me out of here?" Sir Reggy called Alexander over and together they were able to rescue the miscreant who was grateful to pay for the damages to the fencing.
