“He’s in a pickle!” exclaimed Ned.
“I have it!” cried Bob.
“What?”
“The next time he comes past yell at him to ride around in a circle until we can look in the book of directions on how to run a motor-cycle.”
And so, the next time Jerry whizzed by, with a comical worried look on his face, Bob yelled:
“Ride around us in a circle, Jerry. Make believe you’re on the track. Ned and I will look in the book and see how to stop you!”
Jerry obeyed. Around and around he went, the machine kicking up a cloud of dust. In the centre of the ring stood Bob and Ned, poring over the pages of the book.
“There it is!” cried Ned, pointing to something on one page.
“What does it say?” asked Bob.
“To stop the machine pull lever A and throw off B toward you three notches,” read Ned.
