Sam is sick of that yucky love thing - everywhere he looks people are hugging and kissing - it's just disgusting! There's only one thing for it. Sam hops on his bicycle to get away - as far away as he can. But even in the depths of the jungle and on the floor of the ocean there's no escape! So how will he feel when he slips over and finds a little girl who wants to reach out her hand to him?
