The Story

Stan and Babs realise they haven't got enough things to sit on in their caravan. Stan decides, seeing as they can't afford to buy anything, they will make one. Stan cuts down some branches and eventually has created a new chair.....but it falls apart as soon as he sits on it.

He decides it just needs longer nails, and next time it works, although it's not very comfortable. They decide to abandon the project and leave the chair outside.

Meanwhile, next door Maddie reads about rustic furniture being in fashion. She decides to get rid of the new chair they bought in Harrod's last week. Once it's outside, they spot Stan and Bab's chair and decide to swap it.

In the caravan they are nice and comfortable, until one of the kids pushes a button on the chair. It folds out flat knocking a hole in the caravan!

Notes
