It's the turn of Mrs Wig's class to do an assembly for the school, and she suggests they do one on pets. Reminiscent of Joyce Grenfell (guaranteed to have a special appeal for teachers), the authors build up an hilarious scenario: Mrs Wig accepts (for the sake of a peaceful existence) that Ranjeev's rabbit is a giraffe, only to find herself totally confounded by Poonam's pets. Poonam, the most insignificant member of the class, manages to be the one who impresses the whole school and learns, at the same time, to speak up when it's necessary.
