    When the wealthy English gentleman Bertie Wooster meets with his friend Francis “Bicky” Bickersteth, he hears that his friend is in a bit of a pickle.

This humorous short story by P. G. Wodehouse from the early 20th century has been turned into a TV episode for the English comedy series "The World of Wooster". The story is read by the versatile B.J. Harrison.B. J. Harrison started his Classic Tales Podcast back in 2007, wanting to breathe new life into classic stories.
