The Gwelf in the Garden

Synopsis

The adventures of two unlikely friends.

Small's favourite night-time story book is about the mischievous Gwelf, who sneaks in gardens and eats turnip sandwiches. One evening they hear a whomp, whomp, whomp outside and Small is convinced it is the Gwelf even though Big assures him that the Gwelf doesn't exist. He is only in stories.

But Small still decides to go out and investigate and Big goes along, too. After creeping around in the moonlight, bumping into each other and into trees, Big and Small finally capture the Gwelf in a sack.

Only it is not the Gwelf, it is a ball that was caught up in a tree and hitting the roof with a whomp, whomp, whomp. Small looks disappointed until he realises that just because the Gwelf isn't in their garden, it doesn't mean he is not in another garden.
