There is only one problem, how will they get the berry down? Once their first try to obtain the berry falls short, all but one determined little gnome head back for home. Unwilling to give up, the little gnome utilizes very creative and unique ways to try to get the berry down. Despite the failure of his initial attempts, the little gnome discovers the unlikely solution through his own determination and ingenuity.
