Pingu (series 6) - Pingu and The Daily Igloo

Pingu and The Daily Igloo

Pingu finds a leaflet advertising for a paper boy, brings it home, and persuades Father to let him do it. Father takes him to the paper shop and Pingu goes inside to get the papers. When he comes out with them, he can barely lift the box. Father offers to help, but he wants to do it all himself, and loads them onto his sledge. Father shows him how to fold the paper to get it through the letterbox and he sets off. The first one he tries to deliver, he crumples trying to get it into the letterbox, also trapping his fingers. He has to try the thir one, which he has to deliver to Punki, three times before getting the correct paper. On the way to deliver the next paper, he passes three of his friends: Pingo, Pingg, and Pingi, who is in the playground and wants a partner for the seesaw. He’s just about to join her when Father comes by and tells him he’s taking too long to deliver the papers. He leaves Pingi, and delivers the next paper at speed as he whizzes past the igloo, tossing it through an open window. It lands in a washing basin, soaking the penguin using it at the time. The next one is delivered in the same way, but this time it lands in the loo and surprises the penguin who is in the nearby bath. The following paper is delivered to Grandfather. Pingu gets this one in the bowl of cereal that Grandfather is eating at the time. He continues in this manner, and when he gets back to the paper shop dumps all the papers he hasn’t delivered into the bin outside. He goes to find Pingi at the playground, but she and Pingu's two other friends are gone. When he gets home, he’s aghast to find a queue of angry penguins at the door, returning their papers and complaining to Father about the delivery service. Pingu feigns innocence. Mother and Pingu then clean up all the returned papers. Pingu puts them through the mangle, Mother irons them, and Pingu folds them. Father then takes him out on the round again to deliver them properly.
