Herb the old wheelbarrow had lounged for fifteen long years in the gardener's cottage garden. This was no ordinary garden but a garden full of secrets! Suddenly, one day, when Herb was busy working in the garden, all the air seeped out of his big wheel tyre, leaving him helpless! To make matters worse he'd heard his master say "That old wheelbarrow has seen better days!" "Oh Dear me, he'd thought! What ever did he mean by that? Maybe he'll buy a bright spanking new barrow to replace me?" He'd even grumbled sadly to Robbie Rat and Millie Mouse, but they had run off to get some tasty morsels left from breakfast and not even listened! What will happen to Herb wheelbarrow? Things were to turn out very differently to what he had expected!
