"Gosh!" said Henry. "It is going to be very hard to pick just a few colours out of all these!"
They all set about finding the exact right colour for each of their friends. Charlie, who was a dab hand at knitting (it being a construction method after all!) ran over to some lovely rainbow wool where each ball was made up of different lengths of different colours. When it was knit up, the scarf would have myriad colours throughout. He thought that would look unique.
After spending ages pondering over which wools to buy, they eventually had chosen sufficient (with maybe a bit extra for some future knitting projects!) Bubbles paid the shopkeeper and they struggled home with great big bags full of balls of wool, very excited to start making presents for their friends.
