William Goes Shopping

If only William could learn how to make a whistle. Sent on a reluctant shopping trip by his mother, amidst some unexpected happenings, perhaps he can. Great comedy classic.

William Brown, in the midst of doin' good and ritin' wrongs in the high street, is chased by an irate shopkeeper. Forced to hide, he becomes trapped in an outfitter's window. Nothing for it but to pretend to be a tailor's dummy.

Passers-by stop and look in. 'That one's gotter nugly face,' says a little girl. 'Well, they can't 'elp their faces,' says her mother. Never mind – this afternoon he has been taught by an old man how to make a whistle! A triumphant end to the series of five stories.
