Story Summary

Terry and his family were brightly coloured tea towels who were for sale in Mr Ahmed's shop. When Terry is sold to Amy and her mother, he is separated from his family and put to work in Amy's mother's kitchen.

Terry has to decide if he will work hard and maybe wear out like an old tea towel in the kitchen drawer, or if he will not work very hard at all like the newer tea towels and rest all day.

And what of Terry's family; will they be reunited?
