1183 - BROAD

Rob is a keen AngleR and had been out early that morning and caught a couple of roach from the lake. He was not very kind to his brother Frank and played a prank on him. He put one of the roach in a bottle of water and tied the fishline to the inside of Frank's trousers so that when Frank put them on, the poor fish was pulled out of the water and started flapping around inside his trousers! Frank had a nasty shock, spent ages getting the poor fish back into the water and then finding some dry trousers. To get his own back, Frank set up an array of wind-up toys behind the arras in the breakfast room. Whenever he wanted, Frank could set one of the wind-up toys going without having to get up. Rob was quite unnerved by these mysterious noises. Frank made out it was the woodland dryad that had set up home behind the arras - this freaked Rob out even more. Then Rob caught Frank with a broad grin on his face and the two brothers made peace and vowed not to play pranks on each other again.
