Ten stone baby teased with chocolate

[Odd. -egg]
Ten stone baby teased with chocolate:



Entertainment in 1935. "The trouble is nowadays he refuses to be weighed at all so we don't really know if he's solid or hollow."

[Video Link]

Ten Stone Baby, a British Pathe newsreel from 1935.



Despite the newsreel's original title "Ten Stone Baby", the boy Leslie Downes is actually 3-years-old. Seen with his parents in a kind of pen, Leslie is sat in an armchair. Somebody then dangles a bar of chocolate into the pen and he immediately sets to work at fetching it.



We also see Leslie playing with bricks.
