"Come on Gramps, you old steam train!" Yelled a voice.

"Calm down you 'rat-bag,' I'm old you know" replied another from within the brush. A head popped out, slightly wind-beaten and worn, "where ya to?" he asked.

"Yer right there!" muttered the old man to himself. "You don't half wear me out, I tell ya!"
