Synopsis

Joe is puzzled by the safety rules he's learned: 'Never take sweets from a stranger' and 'Never go with a stranger.' But what about asking a stranger the name of a cute puppy or being polite when someone is friendly? Through a series of amusing missteps, Joe discovers that while rules are important, using common sense is key to understanding when and how to apply them.
