Pingu (series 2) - Pingu at The Doctors

Pingu At The Doctors

Pingu and Pinga are playing with their toys. Pingu pushes a train toy to Pinga and tells her to push it back to him. She pushes it further away from him however and he shouts at her, prompting Pinga to throw a snowball at him. Mother goes out and leaves Pingu and Pinga at home. They decide to play dentist, but Pinga does not want to play when Pingu threatens to use a hammer and chisel on her. Pingu chases her, and during the chase a table gets knocked over by Pinga and Pingu bangs his beak on it. His beak is broken and bleeding. Pinga is sympathetic about this, So she bandages it up and takes Pingu to the doctor. The doctor, at first though, thinks that Pinga is the patient and takes her inside. She then tells the doctor that Pingu is the patient. Pingu is terrified when he sees the tool the doctor is going to use and runs off. Pinga and the doctor chase him round the outside of the igloo, but Pingu comes back inside and locks the doctor and Pinga out. Outside, all the other patients laugh at the whole fiasco. Pingu then rings Mother, who comes to the doctor and comforts him while his beak is being treated. While Pingu ends up with a brace on his beak, Pinga wants a lollipop, the doctor gives her one. Asking for the other one too, she kindly cleans the lollipop for Pingu and gives it to him. Mother then takes them both home.
