Ep 9. The Case of the Missing Kohirabi / Promises, Promises

Big is shocked one morning to discover that some of his vegetables are missing from the garden. Where have they gone? He concludes that they must have been taken by someone: but who would steal the vegetables? Small is convinced it's the Gwelf, even though Big tries to tell him that Gwelfs aren't real. They decide to hide out in the garden and keep watch on the vegetable patch to discover the truth... During the watch, Small notices a vegetable being tugged back down into the ground. He rushes over and grabs the plant to save it. Big appears at this moment - but it looks to him as if it's Small who is trying to take stuff from the garden! Just then, however, he sees a mole peeking out of the ground and eating the plants. Small is relieved to be proven innocent. Big feels sorry for the hungry mole and says that in future he will plant more vegetables so that everyone can have a share. Including Gwelfs, adds Small. / Small finds out that Big is making Ruby a trampoline. Big tells Small not to say anything to Ruby because that would spoil the surprise. Small promises not to tell. In return Big promises that he will make a trampoline for Small. Small finds it really hard, however, to keep quiet and he gives Ruby hints about the surprise. She guesses what Big is doing and thanks him - thereby spoiling the surprise and revealing that Small broke his promise to Big. Big is very hurt. But then he realises that he hasn't made Small a trampoline so he broke his promise as well. Both friends are pretty miserable - until Ruby pulls them both onto the trampoline and the three of them bounce away their worries. You have to smile when you're jumping on a trampoline!
