Terry and his family were brightly coloured tea towels who were for sale in Mr Ahmeds shop. When Terry is sold to Amy and her mother, he is separated from his family and put to work in Amys mothers kitchen. Terry has to decide if he will work hard and maybe wear out like an old tea towel in the kitchen draw, or if he will not work very hard at all like the newer tea towels and rest all day. And what of Terrys family; will they be reunited?
