Mr Gumpy has decided to go for a ride in his motor car. It's a nice day & the sun is shining, so off he goes. But he only gets as far as the lane before the children, the rabbit, the cat, the dog, the pig, the sheep, the chickens, the calf & the goat ask if they can come along too. As the motor car & its passengers make their way across the field, the weather begins to turn & the rain is soon pouring down. The tyres cannot grip the muddy ground, so Mr Gumpy asks for volunteers to push the car. But everyone has an excuse, until it gets so bad that they all have to get out & help. Eventually, the sun shines once more as they drive across the bridge
- & there's time for a swim on the way home.
