Small's Branch

Episode 15 of 26

The adventures of two unlikely friends. Big builds a ladder for Small so he can climb up and play in the tree, but no one will play with him and he soon gets lonely.

Big builds a ladder for Small so he can climb up and play in the tree. Twiba, however, wants her privacy among the leaves and sends Small off to another branch. Small shifts over. Small is quickly bored on his own. He takes a blanket up to the branch to use in a game. Ruby is annoyed that Small took her blanket without asking. Small wants her to play with him but she refuses. Small is soon bored again and wants Big to come and play, but Big says he is busy. So, Small builds himself a tree house and bans Twiba and Ruby and Big from ever visiting.

The others watch Small move his chair and the fridge up into the tree and realise that he is lonely. After a while Small hears rustling below - Big, Ruby and Twiba start to sing a song to Small saying he's their friend and that they want him to come back home. Small realises he shouldn't have been so impatient with his friends and asks them up into the treehouse. The combined weight, however, causes the treehouse to crash to the ground. But they are all safe and continue sitting under the tree having a picnic.
