Show 3jWjl fo-Op&haliofL. Tom applied for work at the railway yards. The foreman, to test his ability, told him to drive an engine into a nearby shed. Tom climbed into the cab and I was appalled by the various valves and switches. He turned one of the wheels and, to his surprise, the engine started off towards the shed. In an effort to stop it, he turned a few more wheels, but the engine reversed and puffed out of the shed. After he had repeated these maneuvers two or three times, the foreman shouted: "Hey, you fool, what do you think you are doing!" "You're the fool!" retorted Tom angrily. "Why didn't you shut the doors? I had it in three times!" |
