A friendly group of gnomes get together for a party and a feast. They cook every food they can think of-from sauces to sausages and from fish pie to jelly. They make so much food that they invite even more gnomes to join them-in fact, anyone who is passing by! The gnomes eat all day until they are full up and fall asleep. Dude, one of their friends, calls in to join the party, but he is too late. All the food has been eaten by the greedy gnomes. Sad and hungry, he wanders around the kitchen, looking for something to eat. Just when he thought there was nothing left, to his delight, he finds something in a big box that he really adores!
