Sammy Wins the Day

**Sammy Wins the Day** is the twenty-second episode of the first season.

## Plot

Sammy is about to take the children to the sports day, but is nervous about driving 50 miles. Arnold and Roger give him advices, which made Sammy feel better. Sammy then sets off to collect the children, and they all arrive at the sports ground.

Sammy then went over to rest, and is amazed to see bigger school buses next to him. He is disappointed that the children preferred them over him, but attempted to make friends. Unfortunately, the school buses were very rude, and called Sammy a toy bus. Hurt, he decides to park somewhere else where he would be all alone. He starts feeling sorry for himself, until he hears an announcement about the school bus race, which cheers up Sammy in an instant.

As he dashes off to the starting line, the other buses once again make fun of him, but Sammy convinces them that while he is small, he is quick. The bigger school buses become worried when hearing that the race will be around 4 laps, but Sammy isn't as he drove 50 miles to the sports ground. As the race begun, the school buses make a quick start and before he prepares to do a quick start, he remembers Arnold and Roger's advice. When the last lap bell is heard, Sammy makes his big move as he speeds past them and finishes the race in first place.

The bigger school buses decide to no longer be rude to him, and they joked that while Sammy may've been quick for them, they were too slow.
