Bill and Ben and the Horse

Bill and Ben and the Horse is a magazine story.

Plot
One day, Bill and Ben are messing around. Bill suggests going to get trucks to take to the harbour and Ben replies by saying "I'm right behind you". Ben turns out to literally be behind Bill as Bill backs up and bumps right into his twin!

Bill and Ben start to make their way down the line when Bill whistles a "Hello". Ben wonders who he is whistling to and Bill replies that he was whistling to the trees, which Ben finds very funny. Throughout the journey, the twins whistle to everything they see, including Mr. Martin on his horse.

Bill and Ben soon drop off the trucks of china clay and collect empties to take back. On the way, the twins spy Mr. Martin's horse all alone in the woods. A high sided truck is fetched and the drivers coax the horse into it so it can be brought back to the station. Mr. Martin is contacted and he comes to the station to retrieve his horse. Mr. Martin is not happy and says that all of Bill and Ben's whistling had frightened the horse. The twins feel very ashamed.
