A tiny train!

Chris Hall16 Comments

The two boys had been peering over one of the back gardens where there was a large shed. They could see something interesting, and they really wanted to see more.
“We could go around to the front and knock.”
“Or we could just bunk over the fence.”

And so they did. And luckily the shed wasn’t locked.

“Ooh look, it’s a tiny train on the track, and everything else.”
“Such detail.”
“And perfectly to scale too.”
The two boys looked at each other and grinned, and then they stared some more.

“That little train is immaculate.”
“It’s in the proper colours, like British Rail.”

Then an old man appeared. “Oy, what are you up to?” But then he grinned. “Okay kids, I’m happy to show how it works, and you can watch.”

The two boys grinned back.
“This is going to be fun!”
“And you can call me Uncle Bill.”
