Description

The pest controller has arrived at the farm on a bicycle on which he carries a box marked "Rottegift" (rat poison). He asks "Have you got rats?". The farmer replies "Yes, I suppose there are one or two somewhere." The message follows: "If you have rats on your property, immediately get in touch with the local authority."
