717 - SCOUT

TOm and GUy were two young brotherS. Tom was playing with his model trains. Guy came in the room engrossed in his reading and Tom had to shout to stop him knocking over the train on the track. "Get your snout out of that comic before you start charging about the place", chided Tom. "Can we have the steam engine instead of that boring diesel", asked Guy. "Ok", said Tom, "I'll just shunt this diesel train into the siding first." Whilst Tom was doing that Guy put his toy on the steam engine tender. When Tom started to move the steam train he had to stop it. "That toy makes the loco too stout to get through the bridge - it can't stay there." Once they'd had enough of playing trains, Tom said "Let's go down to the stream and scout out the wildlife there - we might see a kingfisher if we're lucky."
