Bod is thinking about the dream he had last night. It was about strawberries and cream. He is so distracted that he doesn't notice when other people say hello to him. They all follow him and one by one fall down a large hole.

Bod sees Frank the Postman drop two letters that blow away. Bod picks one up and sees it is for his Aunt Flo, Farmer Barleymow finds the other which is also for her. They take them round to her as she is watering the garden.
