Summary Stoppit is about to go out and play when an old tin shuffles past, and he thinks it is really funny (especially when the tin makes a rude noise), so he jumps on top of the tin which carries him over the bridge and up the hill towards Tidyup's house. Tidyup has been very busy making a garden table so he can sit outside to eat his gherkin sandwiches, but when Stoppit comes bouncing into his garden on the tin, he decides to find out what is inside it (which turns out to be the shell of Don't Do That, and when Don't Do That surprises him and Stoppit by emerging from his shell, he scurries up onto the roof of Tidyup's house, so Tidyup climbs up and tries to get him back down again, but fails). When Don't Do That jumps off Tidyup's house and scurries up a nearby gherkin, he starts throwing little tree gherkins at both him and Stoppit, which gives him the idea of keeping Don't Do That occupied while Stoppit is sawing away at the gherkin. Even though the plan succeeds, Tidyup's table gets smashed to pieces (and despite Stoppit jumping on Don't Do That to stop him from popping out again, he does pop out again, and runs off taking Stoppit with him), but he eats his sandwiches outside by using the sawn-off gherkin as a garden table.
