Summary[]
Pat's shoes and socks get wet when he steps in a puddle at Ted's Workshop. Ted has invented a sock drying machine, but it unfortunately destroys Pat's socks. So Pat has to borrow a pair of pink fluffy rabbit slippers, which he wears for the rest of the day.
Meanwhile the children are on a school trip to find five different types of fruit, but Julian is not very keen on fruit.
Ted follows Pat with his improved sock-drying machine until he gets to the Primary School. There Jess accidently knocks the fruit into the machine and it turns out to be a perfect fruit juice-maker, which produces something fruity that Julian can enjoy.
