The Story

Buster and his mum are a bit short of cash for Christmas. Mum sends Buster out to get what he can, but Buster worries it won't even stretch to a pigeon. On his way out he slips on some ice and loses his Mum's money. But there's worse to come, as Buster is sliding down a hill towards the supermarket and cannot stop.

He falls into the supermarket battered and bruise. Luckily, he happens to be the ten-thousandth customer that week and he wins a huge Christmas hamper, which gives Buster and his Mum a great Christmas.

Notes

The money falls into the hands of a homeless person who manages to buy a small turkey with it for his own Happy Christmas.
When Buster reveals he can't afford a turkey, there's a picture of a turkey thinking "That's Good News for Me"
