Synopsis
Mary, Mungo and Midge visit the park and children's playground. Mary plays on the swings, Mungo has several shots on the slide and Midge sits on the seesaw playing "Three Blind Mice". Here he sees Gypsy caravans arriving and Mary explains that they are setting up a fair. The following day, Mary's parents take them to see the attractions. Mary rides on a duck and plays on the bumper cars with her dad. Midge visits a coconut shy and is very nearly hit by one of the balls. He finds that he has lost sight of Mary and Mungo and sets off between the shoes to find them. He hears a man shouting "Hot dogs" but discovers that it doesn't refer to Mungo. Mary, meanwhile, is trying to catch goldfish in a bowl on the hoopla stand but catches instead a surprised Midge who is asking the fish if it has seen them. Mary declares that Midge is the best prize she could have wished for. Later at home, Midge throws rings at Mungo's tail while he eats his supper. Mary tells Midge not to disturb a dog when it is eating it's food. Mary, Mungo and Midge then go to the window to watch the fair at the sun sets.
