Lesson 5. No wrong numbers.

First listen and then answer the question.

What does 'No wrong numbers' mean?

Mr James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst.

Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons.

Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury.

The bird covered the distance in three minutes.

Up to now, Mr Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other.

In this way, he has begun his own private 'telephone' service.
