Eventually, he becomes stuck between two trees, and it seems that he will need assistance from his friends to get out of the predicament.

The second story revolves around Gordon, who is convinced that a gremlin is causing problems on the railway. He dismisses the idea of the gremlin at first, but as he experiences more and more issues with his train, he begins to believe that something is sabotaging his efforts.
