The Story

Pete's missed the bus home and hopes to use his book to get home. But the first thing that pops up is a tortoise. Pete doesn't see the funny side, and tries again. This time the book pops up a racing car. But as it leaves, he falls off the car and it goes without him.

A bit further down the road, a police constable sees the car going too fast and plans to pull it over and book it. But the car isn't going to stop, and so he jumps up to grab hold of a branch to pull himself out of the way. But the branch breaks and he falls onto the book slamming it shut.

Pete is not far behind and thanks the officer for stopping his book. The Constable asks Pete to take his bike back to town as he's feeling a bit wobbly and would be better off walking.
