ep141 Danger Gasoline Leak

The warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the Guardian of the Forest, Ranger Bill, pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions.

Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. The town of Nadi Pine is threatened with a grave danger. This danger is so great it could blow half the town off the map and kill and injure hundreds of people.

No, it's not a tornado or an earthquake. It's not a flood or a freight car loaded with ammunition. It's not a great fire or an airplane out of control. What is this great danger that threatens life and property of almost every citizen in Nadi Pine?

You'll find out as we tell you the story. Nicklaw and Barney Alberts are closing their gas station for the evening. Hank is reading the meters on the gas pumps while Barney tends to other closing time duties.

Hank finishes reading the gas pump meters and walks back into the garage to put the gauge stick down into the storage tanks. Hey Barney! What's the matter, Hank? Something's wrong. The gas pump meters don't agree with the storage tank gauge.

How can that be, Hank? You must have made a mistake. I don't think so, Barney. I always double check my readings. How much are you off? The storage tank is 500 gallons short of the pumps.

We must have pumped 500 gallons of air. Or else there must be something wrong with our pumps, Hank. Yeah, either our pumps or the gas truck meter. Oh, well, I guess this isn't the first time this has happened.
