[1] Paulie is having a pretend tea party with his sister and his doll in the garden while his father and mother watch from inside the house.

Paulie's father, Jim, is annoyed that his son is wearing his mother's dress and takes him to Dougie O'Neill to buy a ferret so that they can go rabbit hunting.

Jim tells Paulie to release the ferret who scares the rabbits out of the burrow and into a net where he hits them with a shovel.

Jim is actually scared of handling Mickey and backs up knocking some petrol cans over, causing the ferret to bite Paulie on the lip.

Back in the garden, Paulie is upset about losing Mickey when Jim sits beside him and invites him on a fishing trip.
