Pingu (series 6) - Pingu and The Litter

Pingu and The Litter

Pingu passes a stall selling wrapped fish-shaped snack bars. He gets one and has just started it when Pingg, Pingo, and Pingi arrive. They also each get a snack bar. The stallholder offers more bars, which are put into Pingu’s satchel. Pingu walks on, tossing away his original wrapper. Pingg, Pingo, and Pingi also toss away their wrappers. Pingu eats another bar and throws away the wrapper as well. The wrappers get blown into an ice pool and is eaten by Robby, who then coughs it up into Pingu’s face. Pingu gives Robby a bar to eat. The wind is blowing discarded wrappers around and Grandfather gets one on his foot and trips up. Pingu offers Grandfather a bar, but he refuses. Pingu eats the bar and is just about to throw the wrapper away when Grandfather says not to. Pingu looks about and sees that there are dozens of wrappers being blown about. Pingu starts to collect them, putting them in his satchel. The wrappers are getting everywhere, causing all sorts of incidents, one blown on one of the towels on the wahing line of his igloo, one of Mother's bottom, and two in Pinga's teapot when she lifts it. Another wrapper blinds a skier on the ski tow causing him to crash into three other skiers. Pingu takes the wrapper of his eyes and continues on collecting more wrappers, then he sees robby covered in lots of wrappers by Pingo and Pingg. More wrappers were blown into Robby's pool, there were three nets in a nearby igloo so Pingu, Pingo and Pingg used the nets to catch the wrappers from the pool. Father is driving, but a wrapper comes flying in the air, blinding him, causing him to crash in front of a dustbin. Pingu arrives back at the original stall and Father tells him off for throwing wrappers on the ground and puts it in the bin. Pingu then takes the wrapper out of the bin and uses it and other wrappers to make a big arrow that points to a litter bin to encourage everyone to use it rather than to just throw away their litter. The episode ends when Pingi throws a wrapper into the litter bin, and they all laugh and cheer.

Famous quotes containing the word litter:

    Sunday morning may be cheery enough, with its extra cup of coffee and litter of Sunday newspapers, but there is always hanging over it the ominous threat of 3 P.M., when the sun gets around to the back windows and life stops dead in its tracks.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
