## Plot

One day, Teddy is painting a picture of his house but his painting doesn't look like a house at all and decides to start again, so he does that. Andy Pandy decides to go an visit to Teddy as it's such a nice day but when he gets to Teddy's house, Teddy looks unhappy. Andy asks him what the matter is but Teddy doesn't answer and just points at his picture. Andy says it is a very nice picture but he isn't quite sure what it is so Teddy tells him it is supposed to be house but it has gone rather wrong. Andy knows that might cheer Teddy up. Andy goes back to his house and in his special cupboard, he finds some sheets of paper and some wax crayons.

At Teddy's house, Teddy is putting away his easel and paints when Andy arrives with his stuff and shows him the crayons, then he says they are going to use them to make a picture of Teddy's house. Teddy doesn't think he'd be any better at drawing with crayons than he is with paints. Andy puts a sheet of paper on the door of Teddy's house and asks Teddy to pick a crayon. Teddy picks a red crayon but thinks they are bit too close to his house and he can't really see what he is supposed to be drawing. Andy tells Teddy to rub his crayon on the paper sideways on so Teddy does that and he does that, a picture of the little window frame in his door begins to appear.

Andy tells Teddy to pick a different colour of crayon so he picks a green one. Andy moves the paper so that this time when Teddy rubs it with his crayon, a new picture appears next to the red one. Teddy is pleased to with the pattern that he and Andy have made, then he goes outside to make a wax rubbing of part of his roof. After that, Teddy wants to make wax rubbings of everyone's house so he and Andy set off for Bilbo's house first of all. As Teddy is making a wax rubbing of Bilbo's boat slope, Bilbo wonders what is going on and goes down the slope so Andy pulls Teddy back just in time. Teddy tells Bilbo that he is making wax rubbing pictures and makes one of Bilbo's boat, when he finishes that, Bilbo says he thinks Teddy is very clever indeed.

Teddy is now making a wax rubbing of Orbie's house and Orbie comes out wondering what Teddy is doing to his house. When Teddy shows him the wax rubbing he has just made, Orbie says he thinks makes lovely patterns and Teddy agrees. Teddy makes wax rubbings of the tree, the see-saw, the slide, Missy Hissy's house and Tiffo's kennel. When Teddy finishes his wax rubbings of the kennel, Tiffo wonders what is going on and decides to show him so he tries to make a wax rubbing of Tiffo. Andy doesn't think Tiffo would make a very good wax rubbing as he is a bit too bouncy. Tiffo wants to Teddy to play with him but Teddy says he'll do it later as he is a bit busy right now.

Soon Teddy has made wax rubbings of everyone's house but he isn't quite sure what to do with them, luckily Andy has an idea. Andy and Teddy have set up the wax rubbings like an art show and everyone comes to see the pictures and thinks they look wonderful. Teddy says that his wax rubbing pictures were much better than the painting he had done earlier and Andy agrees. Now Teddy has learnt that he doesn't have to draw well to make some really good pictures.
