## Plot

One morning, Andy Pandy has taken his football to Tiffo's house and he and Tiffo are having a great game. Then Andy gives the ball a really hard kick, it flies like a rocket and Tiffo runs after it. Looby Loo is hard at work in her garden when the football arrives. Looby hasn't been expecting the football to appear in her garden, then Tiffo runs right into her knocking her over. Looby doesn't like people playing games in her flowerbed and Tiffo says he is sorry. Andy arrives and says it is his fault as he kicked the football so hard, but it's lucky the flowerbed is empty. Looby says that soon the flowerbed will be full of flowers if the birds don't eat the seeds. Tiffo starts growling so Andy tells him there aren't any birds around, then he tells Looby he knows just the thing so the birds won't come and eat Looby's seeds.

Andy goes back to his house and finds two lengths of wood, some strong glue, a piece of cord, an old pair of gloves and a moth-eaten jacket in his special cupboard, then he gets to work. Andy puts glue on one of the pieces of wood then when he sticks the other piece to it, he makes sure the join is strong by tying the pieces together with the cord, then Andy goes back to Looby's house to finish the job. When Andy gets there, he asks Looby if she has an old pillowcase and something to stuff it with.

Looby says she has as she has been making cushions for her sofa a few days ago and still had quite a lot of the stuffing left. Andy stuffs the pillowcase with the stuffing, he still has a bit of cord left over and he ties the pillowcase onto the cross making it look like a head. Andy puts the jacket and the gloves on the cross too and now it is beginning to look like a scarecrow. Looby says the scarecrow should have eyes and a mouth and so she and Andy use buttons for the eyes and some felt for the mouth. The scarecrow is almost finished and Looby gives it one final thing - an old hat, now the scarecrow is completely finished.

Then Looby remembers she has invited Andy and Teddy for tea tonight, she has been so busy making the scarecrow, she has forgotten about it. While Looby makes the tea, Andy takes the scarecrow to her flowerbed where it is going to go. The sun is setting when Andy puts the scarecrow in the flowerbed, Teddy then arrives feeling hungry and is so looking forward to tea, he doesn't see Andy or the scarecrow. Looby has made Andy and Teddy a delicious tea, Teddy particularly likes the sausages on sticks and has eaten twenty-six of them. Looby thinks twenty-six sausages is enough so Teddy has some cake instead. When tea is finished, Teddy notices it is getting dark outside so he heads back for his house, Andy asks him to help with the washing up but Teddy pretends not to hear.

As Teddy is walking home, he sees the scarecrow and doesn't know who it is but he doesn't like the look of it at all. The longer Teddy looks at the scarecrow, the more scared he gets. Teddy gets so scared he runs back to Looby's house for help. When Teddy tells Andy and Looby there is someone lurking in Looby's flowerbed, Andy and Looby know what has scared him and Andy tells Teddy not to worry. Looby and Andy take Teddy outside and tell him about the scarecrow. Looby says if the scarecrow can scare Teddy then it can certainly scare the birds. As Teddy is back at Looby's house, he can now help with the washing up.
