Squeek by JoeCollver
In the beginning there was a beep but we couldn’t work out where it came from. It was soft and and only happened every fifteen or perhaps thirty seconds. For the life of both of us we couldn’t work out what was making this noise.
Then it dawned on Nicky (who is terribly clever at both the best and worst of times) that the beep was actually a squeak. This was not the same squeak as you might hear from a tent. This squeak was the metal wheel in a meter box turning around (which seems so obvious now Nicky has worked it out).
It might be simply solved with a little oil.
Lesson for the day - it’s the little things that can really bend your brain.
