Pingu (series 6) - Pingu and The Present

Pingu and The Present

Pingu is at home, playing aeroplanes, when an envelope addressed to him is delivered. When he opens it, he sees that it’s a card inviting him to a birthday party. Pinga wants to see it, but Pingu won’t let her, and Mother eventually has to intervene. Mother looks at the card and gives Pingu a fish to pay for a present. Pingu is just on his way out the door to get the present when Mother tells him to take Pinga with him. Pingu is not too happy about it, but Mother insists. At the toyshop, Pingu eventually decides to get a model aeroplane as a present. On the way home, Pingu continues to be rude to Pinga by hiding from her. While backing away, he trips and drops the present. It slides into a small crevice that then gets partially blocked by a small fall of ice with just a bit of the ribbon from the present sticking out. After searching for a while, Pingu spots where the present has gone and tries to get it out by pulling on the ribbon, but it won’t budge. Pinga says that she’s small enough to go through the gap to get the present, and Pingu is delighted when she gets it. When they get home, Pingu explains to Mother what has happened and sets off for the party, taking Pinga with him, to her delight. When they arrive, Pingu explains why he’s brought Pinga along as well, and Pinga gives the present.
