The adventures of two unlikely friends.
Big is working hard on his latest invention, a Good Luck Machine. Meanwhile, Small's plans for a picnic are ruined by an empty fridge and then torrential rain. He thinks that Big has actually made a Bad Luck Machine.
And when Small knocks into a ball that ricochets off a wall and hits a skateboard that scoops him up and dumps him into the vacuum cleaner, he tells Big to get rid of the machine or he will move out.
Big decides to put friendship first and puts the machine he worked so hard on outside near the bins. However, Small suddenly finds his luck changing; he discovers his emergency supply of pickles, and ripe apples fall from the tree into his hands.
Big thinks his machine is responsible, but perhaps luck is mysterious. You can make your own, but sometimes it just happens.
