## Plot

One day on the green, Looby Loo is showing Teddy how to make daisy chains. Teddy is collecting lots of daisies for Looby, she makes a little hole in the stem and threads the next one through. Teddy asks if he can have a go and Looby says he must be very careful as daisy chains are easily broken. Teddy isn't quite as good as Looby at making daisy chains as his paws are too big to make the hole in the stem, Looby is worried and tells Teddy to be careful. Tiffo who is nearby thinks Teddy is playing a game and wants to join in so he grabs the daisy chain and starts pulling it to pieces. Looby and Teddy just watch for a moment, then Looby tells Tiffo to stop so he does, but the daisy chain is now a bit of a mess. Looby says it's all Teddy's fault and walks away in a huff. Tiffo says to Teddy he is very sorry and he was only playing.

Andy Pandy is busy in his garden when Teddy walks past, he waves to him but Teddy doesn't wave back as he is feeling too sorry for himself. Andy asks Teddy what the matter is and Teddy tells him about the daisy chain accident and how Looby is cross with him. Andy tells Teddy not to worry and he will show him how to make something just as good as a daisy chain and more colourful too. Andy also says when they've finished making it, Teddy can take it to Looby and maybe she would forgive him then.

In his special cupboard, Andy finds some glue, a paintbrush, a pair of scissors, a pair of thin knitting needles and some magazines. Andy tells Teddy to find some colourful pictures in the magazines and tear them out so Teddy does that but not steadily. Next Andy begins to cut the pictures up, he cuts a long thin oblong then he cuts a triangle out of the oblong. Teddy doesn't see how those shapes are going to make anything like a daisy chain. Andy asks Teddy to paint the shapes with glue so he does that and enjoys it. Next Andy asks Teddy to roll the shapes round one of the knitting needles. Soon Teddy has made a little round paper bead and Andy asks him to put to one side and leave it to dry.

Soon Andy and Teddy have made quite a lot of paper beads, now they need to dry so the two friends go outside to play. As Andy and Teddy play football, Looby pasts by and Andy asks her if she would like to play too but Looby doesn't want to as she is still cross with Teddy so she carries on her way. When Andy and Teddy go back into Andy's house, the beads are dry and the next thing they have to do is to thread them. Andy finds some red string in his special cupboard and tells Teddy he can put the beads on it. Soon Teddy has made a colourful paper bead necklace.

Andy and Teddy think Looby will be pleased with the necklace so they dash to her house to give it her. Looby is watering her garden when Andy and Teddy arrive and she is very pleased to see Andy but she isn't so pleased to see Teddy, she still hasn't forgiven him for what he had done to her daisy chain. Teddy says he is really sorry but he hopes that the bead necklace he and Andy have made will help make it up to her. Looby loves the necklace and so Teddy is quite forgiven.
