Testing, testing...

Mr. Horse, the mayor, is vibrating with his new speaker.
The only problem is that he can't really practice talking on it. He's been talking quietly into the speaker indoors and the sound is still loud. But he wants to see what happens when he makes a speech.
“I'm going to walk to the observation tower and call Mr. Tico,” he tells himself. – That way, I won't bother the residents.

Then he goes to the observation tower through the forest.
When he gets there, he can only spot Mr. Tico, standing at the top of the lookout cabin, looking around with his binoculars.
- Hi! - He yells into his speaker.
Mr. Tico jumps in fright and turns suddenly to point the binoculars at Mr. Horse.
– I'm testing my new speaker! - He screams.
Mr. Tico leaves the binoculars on the chain and waves vigorously. He must be answering, but Mr. Horse cannot hear him.
- How are you today? – thunders Mr. Horse politely.
Mr. Tico seems to be silently agreeing.
He looks down at Mr. Horse again through the binoculars.
– Hmmm, we have a problem here. He can see me and hear me and I can see him, but I can't hear a word he says – reflects Mr. Horse.
“Well, have a good day,” he greets Mr. Tico noisily and he waves goodbye.
– Maybe I should get another speaker? – Mr. Horse asks himself, as he returns home. – At least I know this one works.
