Giant Footprints

## Plot

When their muddy footprints come to life, Toopy and Binoo chase a sneaky creature called a Geraffikiki around the room and up onto the ceiling.

## Synopsis

The episode begins with Toopy and Binoo running inside after play outside in the rain. Toopy notices that the door is still open and that there are muddy tracks on the floor. Toopy then explains to Binoo that the muddy footprints were from a creature called a Geraffikiki. They then clean up the tracks until they reach the doormat. That is when they realize the Geraffikiki is in their own house when the last four footprints jump onto the doormat. They chase the tracks to their dining room, behind the couch, back to the dining room, to their couch side table, up the wall and finally back to the sofa. At that point, Toopy and Binoo jump on top of the footprints to catch the Geraffikiki. The tracks stick to their feet and cause them to start spinning. Thankfully, Binoo grabs one of the legs of the dining room table, and they stop spinning. The Geraffikiki decides to leave them, and Toopy shuts the door behind it.
