Pingu (series 6) - Sore Tummy Pingu

Sore Tummy Pingu

Pingu's Mother arrives home with groceries, including a box of fish-shaped crackers that gets Pingu and Pinga very excited. Pingu gets plates for himself and Pinga. Pingu devours his plateful of crackers and asks for more, but every time he does, Pingu's Mother says "no". Pingu asks Pinga if he can have some of hers, but she shakes her head. When Mother has put away the groceries, Pingu sneaks some crackers from the box and eats them. He then takes the box, which contains the remaining crackers, and goes outside with it. He finishes the box and goes off to search for more crackers. On the way, he meets Pingg. Pingu gives the box to his friend and walks off. Pingg puts his hand in the box and discovers the box is empty. Pingu passes Grandfather’s igloo. Grandfather is outside, snacking on a plate of crackers, and he gives Pingu the last one. Pingu asks if Grandfather has any more, and Grandfather goes inside his igloo and returns with the box. Pingu excitedly helps himself to more, and Grandfather warns him not to take too many or eat too fast. As he gives the box back to Grandfather, his stomach rumbles loudly and he clutches it in agony. At the hospital, the doctor examines Pingu and explains to Grandfather that Pingu has a sore stomach caused by eating too many crackers. Pinga, Mother, and Father arrive. Pinga, carrying a box of crackers, offers a fish cracker to Pingu, who refuses. When he does, Pinga then offers them round. Mother, Father, the doctor, and Grandfather each take and eat one, as does Pinga. Everyone then belches, one at a time, and they all laugh as this happens. Pingu then produces the longest and loudest burp, realising that all his pain has now gone. Pinga then offers Pingu a fish cracker, but Pingu again refuses.
