The Story

Mr Winner is taking his dog to the park to try and become a champion dog trainer. He starts by trying to teach the dog to fetch a stick, but on the first go, the dog doesn't have a clue. So Mr Winner shows the dog how to collect the stick. But much later (and many sticks later) the dog still doesn't car. Suddenly, Winnie appears with Dad's diary, it appears he's forgotten he's supposed to be entering a Wellie throwing contest.

Dad says he's had plenty of practise throwing sticks, so has built up his muscles for the competition. But as Dad throws what must be a winning throw, the dog suddenly gets the idea and goes chasing after it. He catches it, and brings it back, meaning Dad doesn't win the contest.

Notes

After a while, there is a massive pile of sticks that Dad has thrown.
