## Plot

A parcel for Teddy has arrived one morning and Andy Pandy is taking it to him. Missy Hissy wonders what is inside the parcel and Andy tells her they'll have to wait until Teddy opens it. When Andy and Missy Hissy get to Teddy's house, Andy knocks on the door and Teddy answers it but he doesn't see the parcel and so he falls over it. Teddy soon forgets about his fall when he sees the parcel and wonders what it is, Andy says he doesn't know either and they won't find out till Teddy opens the parcel so he does and inside is a pair of roller skates, they are a present from Teddy's rich uncle in America. While Teddy puts on his roller skates, he says Missy Hissy can have the string which was used to tie up the parcel and she is pleased the string will be very useful in her pipes.

As Missy Hissy leaves, Teddy is ready to try out the roller skates but they aren't easy to stand on and they are harder to roll on, but Teddy soon gets the hang of it. Teddy thinks he is ready to skate further so Andy gives him a push and Teddy starts skating further. Looby Loo is in her garden weeding the flowerbeds and there is one weed that Looby struggles to pull out of the ground. Just then Teddy zooms past Looby and that gets the weed out of the ground, but Looby hasn't seen Teddy passing by. Tiffo is having a snooze until Teddy loses control on the roller skates and crashes into his kennel.

When Andy gets to Looby's house, Looby tells him that something has just whizzed past her and Andy tells her that was Teddy trying out his new roller skates. When Teddy and Tiffo arrive, Looby asks if she can have a go on Teddy's roller skates but Teddy says he wants to practise a bit more first and so he skates away. Looby is a bit disappointed as she wanted to have a go at roller skating. Andy tells Looby he has got something which is as almost as good as roller skates. At his house, Andy has found a scooter and a trike and when he takes them outside, Looby is thrilled. Andy asks Looby if she would like a go on the scooter and she would so she gets on and starts scooting. Then Teddy whizzes up to join Andy and Looby and when he sees the scooter and trike, he decides they should have a race round the garden and Andy and Looby think that sounds like fun.

Soon Andy, Teddy and Looby are lined up ready for the race, Andy is on the trike, Looby is on the scooter and Teddy is on his roller skates. Missy Hissy, Tiffo and Orbie have come to watch and Bilbo is going to start the race. Soon the race begins and Andy, Looby and Teddy set off as fast as they can but Teddy is the fastest. When they get to Orbie's house, Teddy is well in the lead but he isn't looking where he is going and so he skates up Orbie's slope and falls over. Andy and Looby race onto the green but Teddy whizzes past them.

By the time Teddy gets to Missy Hissy's pipes, he is very well in the lead. The finishing line isn't far away and Teddy is sure he will win but he hasn't noticed the string that Missy Hissy asked for earlier is tangled round the wheels of one of his roller skates, so when Teddy tries to set off again, he can't go anywhere. Andy and Looby are getting closer to the finishing line and everyone else is cheering. Andy make sure that he and Looby tie for first place. By now Teddy has untangled the string and that causes him to come last, he isn't very pleased until Looby asks everyone to come to her house for tea and that cheers Teddy up straightaway.
