When Gherkin is woken early by the garbage truck outside, her first thought is: yum, rubbish! Then she remembers that it’s her best friend Junket’s birthday … and Gherkin needs a present for her. But what would Junket love? A new toy? A new jacket? Gherkin keeps hunting, and soon realises the perfect present has been right in front of her all along …
