## Plot

One windy morning, Looby Loo decides to hang her washing out to dry. Teddy sees this and asks if he can help and Looby says he can so Teddy starts hanging up the washing very quickly. Looby tells him it isn't a race but Teddy doesn't listen, he is being so quick that he falls over the washing basket and the wind blows Looby's sheet away. Teddy runs after the sheet but he isn't looking where he is going and bumps right into Andy Pandy. Teddy and Andy agree that today is a very windy day and then the wind gives Andy an idea. Teddy is so interested to find out what Andy's idea is, he forgets all about Looby's sheet and follows him into his house.

Andy finds a sheet of stiff card, a pair of scissors, some paints, some glue, two thin bamboo sticks and some string. Teddy is itching to know what Andy is up to but Andy tells him to wait and see, he puts some bright blobs of paint on one half of the card, then he folds the card over and when he unfolds the card, Andy has made a beautiful butterfly. Now it is time to cut the butterfly out, Teddy wants to cut but Andy says he'll do it so Teddy won't hurt himself, but he can do some gluing later.

Meanwhile, Orbie is going to pay a visit to some of his friends when Looby's sheet lands on top of him. Poor Orbie doesn't know what has happened or where he is going. Back at Andy's house, Teddy is tying the string to the bamboo sticks. Next Andy lets Teddy glue the bamboo sticks to the back of the butterfly, Andy tells Teddy to be careful, but he *isn't* careful with the gluing. Back outside, poor Orbie is still stuck in the sheet, Missy Hissy comes out of her house wondering what's making all the noise and when she sees the moving sheet, she gets frightened so she calls for help.

Tiffo arrives to help Missy Hissy get rid of what's frightening her so he starts attacking the sheet, Orbie doesn't know what is happening but he doesn't like it. Tiffo pulls the sheet and he and Missy Hissy are very surprised to see it was Orbie under the sheet all the time. Orbie apologies to Missy Hissy for frightening her and he couldn't see a thing from underneath the sheet. Missy Hissy looks at the sheet and wonders where it has come from. Tiffo thinks the sheet might belong to Looby so he takes it to her house. At last, Andy and Teddy have finished what they've been making - it is a kite and it flies beautifully in the wind. Andy says they should take the kite to Looby and show it to her, then Teddy remembers about the sheet so he runs off to find it.

Looby isn't pleased about her sheet because it is dirty and it's got holes in it. When Andy arrives, Looby asks him if he has seen Teddy and Andy says he has been helping him to make the kite, he shows it to her and Looby is really likes it. Teddy arrives looking glum and apologises to Looby as he can't find her sheet anywhere. Looby shows Teddy what is left of the sheet and when he sees the dirt and holes, he apologises for being so forgetful. Looby can't stay angry with Teddy for long so she forgives him, then the three friends have great fun flying the new homemade kite.
