Linda and Kitty to the rescue after a tumble off a bike.
Kitty the ambulance never bumps and never bounces, and Linda the Nurse always takes a plaster, just in case. When Poppy falls off her new red bicycle in Bumpy Lane, Scotty and Percy offer a fast ride home, but a sore ankle does not like rattling or bouncing. Meanwhile Alan the postman is so busy chasing the ambulance with a bunch of flowers that he ends up in the pond.
What is it about?
Gently does it. Being careful is a strength, and rushing helps nobody.
