## Plot

Andy Pandy is busy laying out forks and knifes because Looby Loo is going to bring one of her tasty pies for supper. Andy also needs some plates so he goes to his big cupboard to find some, but when he opens the cupboard, he sees another Andy Pandy inside. The other Andy copies everything Andy does, that's because there is a mirror inside the cupboard and Andy has seen his reflection in the mirror, but he doesn't know that. Andy wonders how the other Andy has got inside his cupboard so goes outside to find the place where the other Andy has climbed through the wall into the back of the cupboard. While Andy is away, Looby has finished baking her pie and is carrying it to Andy's house. When she puts the pie on Andy's table, she looks at the cupboard and thinks she has seen another Looby Loo inside at first, but when she looks again, she knows she is seeing her reflection in the mirror.

Andy hasn't found how the other Andy has got into his cupboard and when he goes back into his house, he sees Looby and then sees another Looby in the cupboard. Looby tells Andy that there aren't any Andies or Loobies in the cupboard and that there is actually a mirror. It is the biggest mirror Andy has ever seen and thinks that their friends might like to look at themselves in it so Andy and Looby take the mirror to the green and prop it against the slide. Andy and Looby decide to have some of the pie before they tell their friends about the mirror so they go back to Andy's house.

Teddy is out for an evening stroll when he sees the mirror and thinks he has seen another bear. Teddy is worried that the other bear might steal all his honey so he tries to frighten it away, but the other bear frightens Teddy and he hides behind the tree. Missy Hissy is out for an evening slither and wonders why Teddy is hiding, when Teddy tells her about the other bear, she goes to find help. When Missy Hissy tells Andy and Looby about the other bear, Andy is surprised to hear that but Looby thinks Teddy has seen himself in Andy's mirror so the three friends go to help him.

Teddy doesn't believe he has seen himself in a mirror and won't come out from behind the tree. Andy says he and Looby should ask Bilbo what to do. Of course Bilbo knows what to do, he lets Andy and Looby borrow the small mirror he has always taken on his travels and tells them to show Teddy how anyone can see themselves in a mirror. When Andy and Looby show Teddy the small mirror, he thinks he has seen yet another bear and runs off, then Teddy sees the big mirror again and thinks there are now three bears.

Looby calms Teddy down and shows him how mirrors work. At last Teddy understands and doesn't think there are other bears anymore. Now Teddy wants to look at himself in the big mirror and thinks he is the finest-looking bear he has ever seen. When Andy tells Teddy he can keep the mirror in his own house, Teddy is thrilled. That night, Andy and Looby have asked Teddy to share the pie with them, but he is far too busy in his house admiring himself in the mirror.
