    In the first chapter, we are introduced to the characters as they create and decorate buildings out of cardboard. As they do so, we come to learn their different personalities. Freddie is impetuous, Flossie enthusiastic, Nan more cautious and rational, while Bert seems to be a more extroverted version of Nan.

    The second chapter takes place outdoors, as the twins play with their friends. A medical crisis occurs from which Nan learns a lesson, and we also meet the neighborhood bully for the first time.

    In this episode, Bert sees a ghost. Although his mother says he must have had a nightmare, he's convinced that he really did see something.

But as soon as Danny Rugg comes, the day ends very badly for Bert.
