Small is determined to find out the fun surprise that Big is planning for him.

The adventures of two unlikely friends. Small is determined to find out the fun surprise that Big is planning for him, while planning a surprise of his own.

The adventures of two unlikely friends. Big is working on a surprise for Small. Small is so impatient to find out what Big is planning that he talks without thinking and accidentally tells Big he has a surprise for him.

Small now has to make a surprise for Big while also trying to discover what Big is doing. Small tries to persuade Twiba to get inside a box he hides in the garden so she can then spring out, singing. But it takes so long for Big to find the box that Twiba gives up and goes home. 

Although later on she gets to sing her song about how worms are the best at giving surprises. It is finally revealed that Big's surprise is a bubble filled umbrella, that will float Small above the clouds so he won't get wet when it rains. 

All the bubbles burst, however, and the umbrella and Small remain earth bound. But the bubbles do manage to build up and burst the roof off the shed which is a surprise for everyone.
