It’s the 1930s. Our storyteller is sick in bed trying to get over a long sickness and wanting to go back to school, when Uncle Trev arrives to let Mum out of the house for a change. Uncle Trev tells one story after another about the animals out on his farm, and about his neighbour Gotta Henry. If you think Mum should be grateful to get out of the house, she’s not. When she comes home, she chases Uncle Trev and his dog, Old Tip, with her broom and threatens what she’ll do to ‘that man’ next time he comes in.
