## Plot

Andy Pandy is telling Looby Loo and Teddy that he would like to have something special to stand on top of his special cupboard when they hear a strange noise and wonder what it can be so they go outside to find out. On the green, there is a strange shell on the picnic table and Bilbo has made the noise by blowing into it. When Andy. Looby and Teddy arrive, Bilbo explains that the shell is called a conch and Andy whispers to Looby that it would look right on top of his special cupboard. Bilbo has found the conch on a market stall during his travels far away, he has bought by swapping it for a coconut. Andy, Looby and Teddy haven't heard of a market where they can buy things by swapping them for other things, but Looby thinks it would be very exciting to be at a market where they can swap interesting things.

Andy says they should hold their own market on the green so they decide to hold a market in the afternoon. Andy looks for interesting things in his special cupboard, he finds a duster with holes in it and a milk bottle with a dead flower in it which he doesn't think are very interesting, then finds a wooden model of a lion which *is* very interesting. Andy also finds models of a tiger, an elephant and lots of other wild animals, he decides the wooden animals is what he is going to put on his market stall.

Looby has some beautiful handkerchiefs, they have pictures which have been sewn on by Looby herself and thinks they would be very nice to have on her market stall. Before long, Andy and Looby have their stalls ready but Teddy has taken a bit longer, he has decided to have jars of honey on his stall. Missy Hissy has been watching Andy, Looby and Teddy set up their market but she has never seen a market before and wants to know what is going on. Bilbo already knows what is going on and he is taking lots of dried seaweed to swap for any interesting things he might find at the market. Soon the market is in full swing and all the visitors are wondering what to buy from the stalls. Tiffo likes Teddy's jars of honey but he hasn't brought anything to swap so he goes back to his kennel to find something interesting.

As soon as Bilbo sees Andy's model animals, he knows he wants them to live on his favourite shelf. Missy Hissy loves Looby's handkerchiefs and wants them to keep her head dry when it rains, but tying a handkerchief with her tail is very hard so Looby has to help her. Tiffo brings Teddy a pile of old bones to swap for his jar of honey and Missy Hissy has brought a pile of twigs to swap for Looby's handkerchiefs. Soon almost everything has been sold and it is time for the market to close. At first Teddy is pleased for what he has swapped for his honey, but he isn't sure he wants Tiffo's old bones. When Tiffo arrives with Teddy's honey, he hasn't been able to get the lid off the jar so Teddy shows him how it is done, then he shows him how to eat honey and the jar is empty in no time.

Now Tiffo has somewhere to keep his old bones so they are both happy. Looby hasn't known how to use Missy Hissy's twigs but she has painted them decoratively and she is going to show them to Andy. Andy wonders what to do with Bilbo's seaweed when Looby comes to show him her painted twigs, Andy thinks they're much better than dead seaweed but then they hear the sound of Bilbo's conch. Bilbo arrives and says he is so pleased with the model animals stall that he wants to keep them all on his favourite shelf but he has no room for his conch so he has brought it for Andy as a present. The conch does look perfect on top of Andy's special cupboard.
