George felt very happy with his new bumper. He was keen to show it off to the other tugs, so he went to find his friends and share his news.
"Hello!" He called out. "I have a new bumper now! I got it from Scally- what do you think?"
He proudly began to show their other tugs his new bumper, but no one was impressed. They either gave an odd look, or glared at his bumper.
"Hm, odd- I wonder why they are acting like this." He thought to himself. "This calls for a little investigation."
So he continued to go around with his bumper for a while. No one took notice, or said a nice thing about it. They just gave him- or rather, his bumper, an odd look before leaving.
So George thought and thought. "Well, I can't think in all of Scally's stuff why they don't like my new bumper." He said.
Then it hit him. "Of course- everyone else said they got stuff from Scally, but I never saw any of it when I came home!" He cried. "I think I have it!"
...
But just to be sure, he asked the others. Emily, Foduck, Theodore and Hank all said the same thing to him -Scally's stuff was either from a rubbish dump or an attic. They explained about the problems their new things caused for everyone after a while, and that they immediately got rid of them at an opportune moment.
"Well, no wonder they weren't impressed." George said, giving his new bumper a disgusted look. He was no longer in favour with his new acquisition- and he wanted to be rid of it.
