Synopsis

When Bing and Bong touch down, three anxious Flockers greet them immediately - the road is blocked. On inspection of the blockade, (made of spherical boulders of assorted sizes), Bing and Bong are sure they can help. They put on their hard-hats, and Bing gets to work, straining to move the biggest one. Meanwhile, Bong enjoys much more success by moving boulders of all sizes. Confused, Bing examines the boulders, and discovers that most are hollow balloon-like objects, while the one that Bing is trying to move is solid. With this knowledge, and a little co-operation, Bing, Bong and the Flockers move the solid boulder and clear the road.
