## Plot

One hot and sunny afternoon, Andy Pandy and his friends have all been having an afternoon nap as it is so hot and sunny. After their rest, Andy and Looby Loo are planning to have a picnic with Teddy in the shade of the tree on the green. Andy is going to take a jug of cool lemonade to drink, now he needs some straws so goes to his special cupboard to find some. As well as the straws, Andy finds a pair of sunglasses which he thinks will be just the thing for a sunny day like today. Meanwhile at her house, Looby is making some sandwiches and using her special fan to cool herself off. Outside, Teddy is already on his way to the picnic and he finds the sun too bright then he feels too hot.

Teddy notices Andy coming out of his house holding the lemonade and wearing his sunglasses, Teddy wants a pair of sunglasses like Andy who says he has found only one pair so Teddy will have to make his own. Andy carries on his way to the green and Teddy heads back for his house. On the green, Andy and Looby have now got everything ready for the picnic, when they notice Bilbo the sailor beating the sail of his boat so they go over to him to find out what he his doing, then they notice he was fanning Missy Hissy, Orbie and Tiffo with his sail to keep them cool. Andy asks everyone if they want to join in with the picnic, they do want to join in so they head towards the tree.

At his house, Teddy has almost finished making a pair of sunglasses from black cardboard and is now bending the sides so they will fit onto his head. On the green, everyone feels too hot to eat Looby's sandwiches but they all want Andy's cool lemonade. Back at his house, Teddy discovers there is one thing wrong with his cardboard sunglasses - he can't see through them. Teddy has made a right mess of his house as he has bumped into and fallen over things.

When Teddy goes out of his house, he trips over the doorstep, but he soon gets up again and tries to go to the green but bumps into the side of Bilbo's house. Everyone else sees Teddy bumping into Bilbo's house but they don't know he can't see where is going and call him over to the picnic. Teddy falls over the hedge around the green, falls on and off the swing but Andy and Looby soon help him get to the picnic before he falls over anything else.

Andy still doesn't know that Teddy can't see through his sunglasses and asks if they can swap so they swap sunglasses but now Andy can't see where he is going. Looby sees Andy walking up the slide and helps walk back down again just as the sun goes in behind a cloud so nobody needs to wear sunglasses anymore. It is much cooler now so everyone is ready to enjoy Looby's sandwiches and she lets Andy and Teddy have the first ones as wearing sunglasses has made them both very hungry.
