Tiger Binoo (Episode)

## Plot

Toopy is going on a tiger hunt and Binoo is the tiger. Toopy chases the tiger up into the mountains, through the grasslands and into a cave, but it's Binoo who gets the last laugh.

## Synopsis

The episode starts with Toopy telling Binoo that they are going on a tiger chase. Toopy states he will be the tiger chaser and that Binoo will be the tiger. So Toopy uses a black marker and orange and black striped socks to make Binoo look like a tiger. He growls like a tiger which frightens Toopy. He then gives Binoo a head start, and then the game starts.

Binoo hides behind the slide, and Toopy doesn't notice him. He then climbs up the slide's ladder to arrive at the Snowy Mountain. Toopy sees him and follows. At the summit of the mountain, Binoo hides behind Mr. Goat while Toopy continues to search. After Toopy tries calling him, Binoo decides to use a cloud to reach the bottom. Toopy sees him getting away, so he also uses the same strategy. However, it results in him rolling down the mountain instead of sliding. After passing a group of monkeys, Toopy sees Binoo running into a bush in a jungle.

Toopy tries to catch Binoo, but Binoo runs away at the last second, which leaves Toopy with only a bird. Next, Binoo runs toward a cave. Toopy immediately notices him as Binoo runs inside. Toopy runs through the cave, but he does not see Binoo. Cleverly, Binoo lures Toopy into a trap with a plate of cookies. Binoo activates it, and Toopy declares Binoo the winner. The episode ends with Binoo growling like a tiger while wearing Toopy's hat.
