Never Say Never

Episode 20 of 26

The adventures of two unlikely friends. When Big goes out for the night Small insists on having Twiba as a babysitter!

Small reads about a babysitter who never says no to their charges and he likes the sound of that! Small insists that he needs a babysitter one night when Big goes out to look at the stars. It can't be Ruby because Ruby is always saying no to Small, so Big asks Twiba and Twiba agrees: mainly because she fancies a night in the house. Small wants Twiba to do a bunch of fun things but Twiba insists on having a long, hot bath first.

After that she still refuses to play games but asks Small to dry her hair. When Small turns on the hairdryer the force of the blast of air sends Twiba flying across the room! Twiba is too distraught to play any games. Instead, Small has to put her to bed and read her story: and she promptly falls asleep.

When Big comes home Small rushes to greet him. Twiba was a terrible babysitter, he cries out - he ended up babysitting her! Big realises that what Small really needed was a pal to play with, not a babysitter. They open up a pack the cards and have a game of go fish.
