There are no roads, no cars, no fire hydrants.What will the village do with its new truck? The man who comes to build the fire station brings with him a practical joke that scares the wits out of Leon and Susan - a real live wiggling thumb, completely detached from its owner. Which will leave the biggest mark on the village - the first vehicle most villagers have ever seen, or a simple joke?
