He Tootled: Duck Laid An Egg
A Folkestone motorist en- countered ducks crossing the road at Saltwood, four miles from the town.
He gave them the right of way, but one lingered in the centre of the road.
With a tootle on his horn, the motorist reminded the duck that he wanted to get home, whereupon the bird laid an egg and then joined her family.
The motorist appropriated the egg and found it much to his taste.
