Mr. Brown had a beautiful shop. He sold sweets, and a lot of children came and bought them after school, but some of them looked into the window of the shop first, and put their fingers on the glass, and Mr. Brown did not like dirty windows.
Then last week he made a big notice. On it he wrote, ‘Children! Do not put your fingers on this glass! It is dangerous!’ And then he put it up in the window of his shop.
The shop on Mr. Brown’s left was a shoe shop, and his friend, Tom Jones, worked there. Tom saw the notice and was surprised. He went into Mr. Brown’s shop and said him, ‘Why is the glass in your shop window dangerous, Alf? What does it do to the children?’ to Mr. Brown smiled. ‘The glass doesn’t do anything to the children, Tom,’ was his answer, ‘but I give them a hard smack.’
