## Plot

Andy Pandy has found some pieces of wood in his special cupboard, he hasn't seen them before and doesn't know what they are for. Andy decides to build the wooden pieces into a tower but when he does that, the tower falls down so Andy decides to take the wooden pieces to show Looby Loo and see if she knows what to do with them. Orbie has come out for a roll around the garden but he isn't looking where he is going so Andy has to jump out of his way, then Orbie bumps into Andy who drops one of the wooden pieces. No one is hurt so Andy and Orbie carry on their ways but Andy hasn't realised he has dropped one of the wooden pieces, and when Tiffo comes trotting along, he thinks someone has left it for him to play with so he takes it away with him.

That morning, Teddy's auntie has given him a wooden stool for his house but one of its legs is shorter than the others and Teddy can't make it stand straight. Teddy decides to sit on the stool to stop it wobbling but that doesn't work and falls off it. Outside, Tiffo is having a great time with the piece of wood he has found but then he throws it too far and loses it. At Looby's house, Looby has never seen anything like Andy's pieces of wood and thinks they all have very odd shapes, then she sees that two of the pieces fit together and thinks the wooden pieces might be part of a puzzle so she and Andy try fit the rest of the pieces together.

Teddy is determined to sit on his new stool but he keeps falling off it so he goes to ask for help. Along the way, Teddy sees the piece of wood Tiffo has been playing with and thinks it is just the right size to fit under the short leg of his stool so he takes it back to his house. Teddy puts the piece of wood under the short leg of the stool and he sits on it without falling off this time. Meanwhile, Andy and Looby have finished their jigsaw puzzle but then they notice that one of the pieces is missing so they set out to look for it.

Andy and Looby go back the way Andy has walked from his house to see if he has dropped the missing piece on the way. Andy remembers where Orbie had bumped into him and thinks he must have dropped the missing piece there, but there is no sign of it. Andy and Looby decide to look in Andy's house and when they get there, they start looking around but there is still no sign of the missing piece. Then Teddy arrives and tells Andy and Looby about his new wooden stool so they forget about their puzzle and go to look at Teddy's new stool instead.

Teddy is very proud of his stool and Andy and Teddy like it too, then Looby sees the piece of wood that is holding up the short leg of the stool and thinks it must be the missing piece of Andy's puzzle. When Andy sees the wooden piece, he takes it out from under the short stool leg causing it to wobble and Teddy to fall off it again. When Teddy explains that his stool keeps wobbling without the wooden piece but Andy says the stool is meant to wobble as it's a rocking stool. Teddy is thrilled as he has always wanted a rocking stool. Andy and Looby are thrilled as well because they can finish the puzzle at last, now they have a complete picture of a car.
