A police and whistle

Last week I took my five-year old son, Willy, to a musical instrument store in my
hometown. I wanted to buy him a set of junior drum because his drum teacher advised me to buy
him one.

know. Even his questions sometimes seem precocious for a boy of his age. He is very inquisitive.
 We went there by car. On the way, we saw a policeman standing near a traffic light
regulating the passing cars and other vehicles. He blew his whistle now and then.
