## Plot

Andy Pandy finds a huge onion in his special cupboard but Andy doesn't know what it is and wonders what it can be, it smells rather odd and he realises he can peel off the brown skin and look inside. Andy wonders if the onion is something he can eat, but the more he cuts into it, the more he starts to sniff and now he starts to cry even though he is perfectly happy. Teddy comes to visit Andy and he is very sad to see him crying, he asks what is wrong but Andy is crying so much that he can't answer. Teddy is so worried for his friend that he goes to fetch help. At her house, Looby Loo is busy making soup when Teddy arrives, he tells her that Andy is crying and Looby tells Teddy to cheer Andy up by making him laugh, she lends him her feather duster so Teddy can tickle Andy.

At his house, Andy is still crying and trying to find out what is inside the onion when Teddy arrives and starts tickling Andy, but how ever much he does it, Andy keeps on sniffing and crying. While Teddy goes off to think of another way to make him laugh, Andy goes to ask Looby if she know what the strange object he has found in his special cupboard is. At her house, Looby doesn't know what the onion is either and Andy asks her to try to find what is inside so Looby cuts into the onion, but then *she* starts crying. Andy wants to cheer Looby up, but as soon he gets near the onion, he starts crying again. When Teddy arrives to see if Andy is visiting, he sees them both crying, but luckily he has prepared a way to make them laugh.

Teddy drops a banana skin on the floor, pretends not to see it and slips on it. But Teddy's plan doesn't work, Andy and Looby are still crying. While Teddy goes off to think of another trick to make them laugh, Andy and Looby decide to take the onion out to the green and ask their friends what it is and why they can't stop crying. Tiffo is out for a walk when he hears the sound of sniffing and when he sees Andy and Looby sitting at the picnic table sniffing and crying, he runs off to tell their friends. Missy Hissy and Orbie have already heard the sniffing and crying, they and Tiffo all want to cheer Andy and Looby up but they don't know how.

Teddy arrives carrying a bucket of water and asks Tiffo, Missy Hissy and Orbie to help him cheer Andy and Looby up. When they get to the green, Missy Hissy sneaks up on Teddy and he sits down in the bucket of water, but that trick doesn't make Andy and Looby laugh. Tiffo does a little dance to cheer up Andy and Looby, but that doesn't work either. Orbie rolls down the slide and crashes into Teddy, Tiffo and Missy Hissy knocking them all over, but even that doesn't make Andy and Looby laugh. Now Teddy, Tiffo, Missy Hissy and Orbie want to know about the onion and when Andy says it might be something to eat, Teddy asks to try it for himself but when he cuts into it, *everyone* starts crying.

Bilbo has heard all the sniffing and crying and asks what is wrong but nobody can tell him. Then Bilbo sees the onion and now knows why everyone is in tears, he tells them that it is the smell coming from the onion when they cut into it that is making them cry, as soon as they finish cutting the onion and start cooking it, everyone will stop crying. Looby says she will take the onion to her house right away and put it into her pot, then she'd have made onion soup. At Looby's house, Andy, Teddy and Looby are all having the onion soup and there are indeed no more tears. Andy thinks Looby's soup is delicious and Teddy thinks he would like a little more pepper, but he pours so much pepper, it makes him sneeze. Andy and Looby think that is funny and at last they start to laugh, and so does Teddy.
