Oliver, a small boy, is ready to play... but his friend George, a bear, is too busy reading.
Oliver then tries everything to distract George from his book. He throws paper planes, breaks his chair, tips porridge over his head... but it seems nothing can distract George or make him angry. That is, until Oliver snatches the thing that is most important to George--his book. Oliver soon finds out what happens when he bothers his friend one too many times.
