When Tiny is out fishing in the music boat, she catches four strange metal objects. They are a bit like hoots but much smaller. She takes them home to show Small, but when Small arrives and looks in the music boat with Tiny, the metal things have gone. Where could they be? Could they be living things? Tiny and Small don’t have to wait long for an answer. They can hear a 'tooty' noise nearby, and when Tiny plays a tune on her panpipes, the toots join in. Before long, toots and hoots are playing together.
