Synopsis

Stripy wants to give Tiny a present and the others suggest a bunch of flowers, home-grown in Stripy's window box. But the ratchets that make the plants "grow" have rusted up and oil is urgently needed. Stripy goes to Tiny for advice- but he can't tell him why he needs the oil or it would spoil the surprise! It takes a team effort to get the oil but Stripy is able to give Tiny his present in the end.
