The Story

Buster's Mum has a new sofa, and Buster is dying to start bouncing on it. But Mum isn't impressed. So she sends Buster out with the old sofa making him push it to the dump.

Buster reveals the dump is right outside town, and to top it all he's going up a hill. Suddenly he realises it's getting heavier, only to find the Bulko Brothers are getting a ride on the sofa. The brotehrs get off at the top of the hill, but Buster is tired so he sits down. Unfortunately, the sofa rolls backwards and he ends up back where he started!

Half an hour later he makes it to the dump, but he's got to walk all the way home again. Suddenly, he spots a coin falling through a hole in the back of the sofa. He makes the hole bigger, and more coins fall out - all those coins that fell down the back of the sofa over the years. Now he can afford a taxi home!

Notes

There's a label on the sofa saying it's "On Tick"
One of the bulko brothers is called Vince
