Have you ever dreamed of being locked in a department store
at night? The endearing story of Corduroy paints a picture of
the adventures that might unfold (for a teddy bear at least) in
such a situation. When all the shoppers have gone home for the
night, Corduroy climbs down from the shelf to look for his missing
button. It's a brave new world! He accidentally gets on an elevator
that he thinks must be a mountain and sees the furniture section
that he thinks must be a palace. He tries to pull a button off
the mattress, but he ends up falling off the bed and knocking
over a lamp. The night watchman hears the crash, finds Corduroy,
and puts him back on the shelf downstairs. The next morning, he
finds that it's his lucky day! A little girl buys him with money
she saved in her piggy bank and takes him home to her room. Corduroy
decides that this must be home and that Lisa must be his friend
