[Music]
will
[Music]
[Music]
and i think that's very likely
[Music]
out always turn the goods out we can
depend upon you
[Music]
it is lunchtime at spotty's wooden
company and bertha has stopped work
tom the robot is cleaning
all morning bertha has been making
windmills they're a special kind of
musical money box
mr sprott the designer hopes they will
sell a lot of them
to people who like to save money
ted has gone to the canteen and flo has
gone shopping
roy and nell are eating their sandwiches
what sort of sandwiches are yours now
cheese and cucumber
very nice would you like to try one
no thanks i prefer mine
what have you got in yours peanut butter
and cornflakes
together mmm in a sandwich
yes very nice
what's wrong with that oh
nothing must taste funny though
where's flo she's gone shopping she'll
be back soon
i think i'll savor one of my sandwiches
i expect she'll be hungry
this is a jolly good idea of mr sprotts
making a windmill into a money box
yes if you put a coin in the slot the
sails go round
and it plays a tune does it i'll have a
[Music]
go
[Music]
that's very good i like that
i'll have another go
[Music]
tom likes it too does it play any other
tunes
i don't know i'll put a coin in and see
it's the same tune but it's very pretty
[Music]
tom wants to play it
[Music]
hey how do we get our money out
i suppose you have to have a key to
unlock it
but i haven't got a key neither have i
i haven't seen any keys berth has been
making these windmills all morning
but she hasn't made one key oh well
that's the end of our lunch hour
back to work i'll have to tell ted
that there are no keys for the money
boxes
right back to work now then let's see
where were we ah yes
[Music]
ted have you got a coin yes why
put it in the windmill and see what
happens
very clever people are like that
no they won't people put money into
money boxes
so they can save it to spend later
that's right well you can't spend it if
you can't get it out again
this money box has no key
hey there seems to be a lot of money in
there
yes mine and mine
[Applause]
and tom's
i've just put a coil in too but we can't
get it out again bertha hasn't made any
keys
and bertha's been making windmills all
morning
he doesn't say anything here about
bertha having to make keys
when mr sprott designed the windmill he
must have forgotten
mr duncan the factory foreman has come
to see what all the chatter is about
what's the trouble ted you should have
started work five minutes ago
oh hello mr duncan there's something
wrong with the windmill murray box
looks all right to me put a coin in the
slot and see what happens
ah well uh i'm not too sure i have a
coin to spill you have to put a coin in
to find out what's wrong with it
i suppose so hey
very good very good indeed
looks all right to me the thing that is
wrong with it mr duncan
is that once you put your money in you
can't get it out again
oh oh you mean i can't get my coin back
that's right there's no key to it with a
back
but but there must be a way
he's no good mr duncan
well i better take this and show it to
mr wilmig
[Music]
and you don't better get back to work
[Music]
uh
[Music]
good afternoon ted afternoon pages
[Applause]
uh where's flow
she went shopping at lunchtime
ah ooh she's late back for work
yes i wonder where she's got to
right oh tom
everyone was busy making more windmills
when flo arrived back
looking very unhappy i'm so sorry i'm
late
ted but i'm very upset
why what's wrong flow i couldn't buy
anything
because on the way to the shops i lost
my purse
with all my money in it oh flo
that's terrible did you look everywhere
[Music]
yes everywhere
that's why i'm so late poor old flo
you must be hungry too look i've saved
you one of my
cheese sandwiches i'd better take this
home with me
because there'll be nothing for supper
have a good look round flow
maybe you lost it here yes i will
thank you ted
upstairs in the office mr duncan is
showing the manager and miss mcclackety
how the money box works hmm
very good but you say that now i have
put the money in
i can't get it out that's right sir
you can't open the bag see for yourself
hmm this is a design problem
miss mcclackety ring mr spirot and ask
him to come and see me
in the design office mr sprott has just
invented a new money box for bertha to
make
and he's trying it out now
what's this tracy
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
that shouldn't happen
all right i'll tell him mr willmate
wants to see you in his office
something has gone wrong with the
windmill oh dear
not more problems i better go see
you see mr will meek you just can't get
the money out
surely that means it is a jolly safe
money box
something wrong with my windmill mr will
make
yes there is mr sprott pop a coin in the
slot and you will
see i haven't any coins left i put the
last one into my barrel organ
and i have put all mine in your windmill
and i'm not wasting any more money oh
i will i like the tune it please
splendid there's nothing wrong with it
one of my best designs
now how'd you get the money out of the
money box you can't until it's full
such a pleasant way to save don't you
think but isn't there something
missing no there's nothing missing it's
all there
what about a key you don't need a key
when the money box is full the last coin
you put in makes the sales go around the
other way
he plays a different tune the back opens
and all the money falls out
oh that's nice a very clever
money box mr sprott congratulations
thank you that i better go and tell ted
he's worried because bertha isn't making
any keys
we'll take it down and show him how it
works
meanwhile on the factory floor flo is
still looking for her purse
i don't know where i could have lost it
i've looked everywhere
don't worry flow we'll let you some
money until payday
thank you ted
stop working for a moment ted mr
sprott has something to show you
the windmill money boxes do not need
keys to open them
all this one needs is one more coin a
coin please
from anyone but no one seems to have any
coins left
they've all put them in the windmill
does no one have a single coin
sorry
not one the only coins i had i put in
the windmill
the only coins i had were in my purse
and i lost that
[Music]
[Applause]
good afternoon everyone pagey
have you got a coin yes thank you i have
several
paget this windmill is one of mr spot's
best designs
all you have to do is put a coin at a
slot and see it working
in there yes and then see
what happens
[Music]
bingo have i won a jackpot
no painted that is the money we all put
in
to test it i know why don't we give the
money to flowers she's lost her purse
a splendid idea yes of course you must
have the money flow
thank you everyone when people buy the
windmill
how will they know how it works mr
sprott
because all the instructions are printed
on the box
well i never so it is i never thought to
look
remember now you should always read the
instructions on the box
[Music]
sometimes dream when we work out what
you
have to do you can always turn the goods
out always turn the goods out
we can depend upon you
[Music]
