In "Buddy Bench," Corn and Peg create a Buddy Bench in the park, where shy or lonely kids can sit and take comfort in the fact that they are not alone - someone will come and sit with them soon. However, when the bench becomes overcrowded, the ponies realize that they have to do something to make new friends feel welcome on the bench. With a generous amount of problem-solving and creativity, Corn and Peg figure out the perfect solution - making a mini-Buddy Bench that is just the right size for smaller children.
The other storyline, "To Taste or Not to Taste," features Corn and Peg's mutual love for blueberries. The ponies can't seem to find the right words to describe the taste of blueberries to their friend, Heather. So, they embark on a mission to help her understand the taste of blueberries. In their quest, Corn and Peg enlist the help of the other citizens of Galloping Grove such as the bees, a chicken, and a worm to explain the taste of blueberries in their own unique ways.
