## Synopsis

Elo loves ice cream, so Dibo gives him an ice cream making machine. However, Elo refuses to share the ice cream it makes with his friends.

## Plot

Elo is running on his treadmill, but suddenly flies out and finishes exercising, he then declares he can now eat ice cream. He looks inside the freezer, just to find out there is only one left, so he has a hard time deciding whether to eat it now or later, then he eats the ice cream, wishing he could eat ice cream all the time. Dibo hears his zipper shaking, and looks at Elo's fire station, he heads towards his home and greets Elo, he asks Elo what he wished for, and Elo goes down to say that he wishes to eat ice cream all the time, they start the Gift Dance. And Dibo gives Elo a very heavy present, so Dibo unties it to show him the Ice Cream Making Machine.

Elo becomes excited and ecstatic, he asks Dibo how it works. Dibo shows him to first choose a cup size with the button located at the bottom, Elo goes for a big cup, and then Dibo tells Elo to choose any flavour he wants, Elo then gets "Chocolate Twister", Dibo then pulls the lever to release the ice cream, Elo grabs the cup and eats it with a spoon, commenting on how it is his favourite, next up, Elo chooses the flavour "Vanilla Twister" with "Triangular Shaped Sprinkles" as toppings, which he calls "Sugar Vanilla", Elo also declares it as his favourite, and then he chooses the flavour "Strawberry Twister" and "Triangular Shaped Sprinkles" again, and calls it "Strawberry Crunch", he then eats both cups using his mouth instead of a spoon.

Meanwhile, Elo eats a larger sized ice cream cup with a bigger spoon, but as soon as he sees it's all gone, he decides to make another ice cream with choosing his own favourite flavour, he mixes chocolate and strawberry, with the toppings being caramel syrup, walnut powder, and banana slices, he then eats the ice cream, but he suddenly hears Cro, who asks Elo if he wants to go to the Cloud Nine Playground. Elo then asks if he should share the ice cream with Cro. His conscience then starts to come out and his bad side says that he shouldn't because he asks Elo what would happen if the all ice cream runs out, his good side then says he should do it because he believes it's better to share, but his bad side intimidates him by asking what if his friends ate all the ice cream and there's none left. Cro asks what's behind Elo, then Elo proceeds to fake a cough and tell him that he can't play with him today because he "has a cold". So Cro leaves. And Elo eats the ice cream without him knowing. His conscience appears again, with his bad side winning.

Bunny goes to see Elo, she asks Elo if he wants to pick flowers with her, but Bunny then asks what's on Elo's cheek, she sniffs it and it has a reminiscent of strawberries. But Elo says it's nothing, and Bunny asks why his face is red, Elo tries to tell Bunny about it, but is interrupted by Annie, who was told by Cro that he has a cold, he continues to fake his cold, Bunny suggests Elo that he should rest, while Annie plans to make some chicken soup for his "cold", but Elo tries to tell them that he's okay.

At Annie's Milk Bar, she is cooking some chicken soup, and lets Bunny have a taste, Cro joins them by saying he has fun books for Elo to read.

Elo eats too much ice cream in the process, Dibo asks Elo if he's okay, Elo decides to get another cup of ice cream, he goes for the pistachio flavour and almonds and strawberries as toppings, he shows Dibo the cup, but Cro sees him holding it and becomes shocked along with Bunny and Annie, Bunny asks why Elo is hiding it, Annie tells Elo that he shouldn't have ice cream when he has a cold, Bunny tells Elo that they will eat the ice cream for him, but Elo refuses and retaliates, which lead to him bumping on the machine, the Ice Cream Making Machine malfunctions and Dibo tells Elo to go with them, but he doesn't want to, Elo gets trapped inside the Ice Cream Mountain.

Annie, Bunny and Cro don't know how to save Elo, but Dibo has an idea, they should all the ice cream, with Bunny saying they should start with their favourite flavours, Annie will go for vanilla, Cro goes for walnut, almond and chocolate, Bunny goes for strawberry, while Dibo will eat the rest. All of them proceed to eat the ice cream until Elo is free from the ice cream. Elo sincerely apologizes for being greedy.

Everyone tastes the ice cream, with Elo saying "ice cream tastes better when you share", with Dibo, Bunny and Annie agreeing, Cro announces that he made a new kind of ice cream, Bunny asks what it is, Cro says that it is the kind of ice cream that makes you "smarter", Annie asks what he put in it, Cro says he made it using walnuts, celery, onions, garlic, carrots, cucumbers, peppers, and fish, he asks if one of them would like to try the ice cream, but none of them want to, Cro tastes his own ice cream, but becomes disgusted by the smell and taste, so he spits it out, and everyone except him laughs.

## Trivia

* This is the first time Cro says he doesn't know what to do.
* Elo saying "You know, ice cream sure tastes better when you share" sounds similar to the narrator saying "Pororo learned that candy shared with friends tastes better than eating it alone" from the Pororo episode "Pororo's Goody Box" (remake of Bonbon Box).

### Errors

* For the rest of the episode, the cups appearing and disappearing seem inconsistent.
* Elo chose "Triangular Shaped Sprinkles" for "Strawberry Crunch", but it shows ring cereal and plain sprinkles instead.
* When Elo says "I think I'll mix chocolate ice cream", he presses the buttons using his left hand, but in the next scene, he is shown using his right hand.
* When Elo says "Oh uh, hi Bunny!", he has some strawberry residue on his left cheek, but when Elo says "It's nothing", the strawberry on his left cheek is gone.
* When everyone comes to check Elo, Cro doesn't bring his books.
* After Cro says "It looks like... Ice cream!", Elo has Cro's voice when he says "Elo, what do you have there?", this was later fixed in the new version where Elo says "Um, I don't see anything".
* When Dibo says "We can just eat that ice cream mountain!", the word "Mountain" is cut off to "Mount".
* It is unlikely the toppings Cro put on the ice cream (not counting the walnuts) are available for the machine itself. Unless Cro modified it.
