The Story
Both of the nieghbours don't know what to buy their neighbours for Christmas. Last
years presents were unusable by both families. In the caravan, the children suggest
giving Maddie and Ollie some mice as pets, whilst next door, it's suggested taking a
video film of them and their animals. However, Stan reasons that Maddie won't like
the mice, and Ollie says there's no TV in the caravan so it would be uselss.
Suddenly, both families have the answer.
Christmas morning arrives and they exchange presents. They end up giving back the
gifts they got last year!
