A travelling Snake Show is doing a season at Habitat. Part of the program is a volunteer from the audience holding the snakes. In fact, the ‘volunteer’ is the daughter of the man and woman who run the show, and is slightly older than Lou and Jerry. Lou thinks the girl is wonderful, and wants to get friendly with the visitor, but the girl rejects Lou’s offer because the family never settles and she always gets taken away from her friends.
Finally, she runs away on a very hot day, and is in danger of dehydration in the bush before she is found by a search part. Skippy points the searchers in her direction. She is reconciled with her parents’ lifestyle, and Lou points out that you can stay friends by writing to one another. And the two girls do.
