## Plot

After finishing his breakfast one day, Teddy goes for a stroll on the green, when he smells something. It is a wonderful smell, it is the smell of food. Teddy follows the smell all the way to Andy Pandy's house. Andy is holding a box of freshly baked biscuits made by Looby Loo. The biscuits are still warm from the oven and Andy asks Teddy if he would like to taste one. Teddy really wants to taste one of Looby's biscuits but his tummy is still full up with breakfast. Teddy is worried that the biscuits will be gone before he has even tasted one so he comes up with an idea - before Andy eats all the biscuits, he should give Looby a present to say thank you in return for the biscuits. Andy thinks that is a good idea and goes to find something special in his special cupboard, but it is empty so he and Teddy go to look for something special outside.

As Andy and Teddy are looking for a thank you present for Looby, Bilbo the sailor comes to see what they are looking for. When Andy says that he and Teddy are looking for a present for Looby, Bilbo thinks she might like a piece of his seaweed, but the seaweed looks rather old and dull. Andy thanks Bilbo but thinks Looby might like something more bright and colourful. Andy and Teddy see Tiffo the dog looking up at the sky and barking, they look up at the sky but they can see nothing. Tiffo tells Andy and Teddy that he had just met a beautifully coloured bird, but when he tried to make friends, he accidentally growled and frightened the bird away. Andy and Teddy tell Tiffo to cheer up and ask him look for a present for Looby.

Just then Teddy sees something at the top of the slide - it is a beautiful purple feather from the bird Tiffo had met. Andy thinks the feather will be the perfect present for Looby and he can't wait to give it to her, but the feather is so light that Andy's breath blows it away. Teddy tries to pick the feather up, but it blows away from him as well. Whenever Andy and Teddy try to pick the feather up, it blows away and that annoys them. The feather has blown onto the side wall of Teddy's house but neither Andy or Teddy can reach it. Orbie the ball has seen the feather blow across the green and he wants to take a closer look at it. Orbie bounces to the feather and it starts blowing about in the breeze so Andy and Teddy quickly run after it.

The feather lands in front of Missy Hissy and when Andy and Teddy arrive, Andy tells her to be careful with it, but she can't help saying how beautiful it is. The feather blows away again and Bilbo arrives to tell Andy and Teddy about the feather that had blown past his house and thinks that would be the present for Looby, but Andy and Teddy have already gone. The feather lands in front of Tiffo's house and Tiffo is thrilled and wants to tell Andy and Teddy right away. When Andy and Teddy arrive, Tiffo starts barking and the feather blows up and away, then it disappears out of sight.

Andy and Teddy are disappointed that now they don't have a thank you present to give to Looby. Andy brings the box of biscuits to the green so he and Teddy can eat some underneath the tree to cheer themselves up, but they don't feel like eating biscuits. Just then, Looby arrives wearing the very feather that Andy and Teddy have spent all morning trying to catch for her. Looby. The feather had blown in through the window of Looby's house and Looby says it's the most beautiful present, now Andy, Teddy and Looby all feel like eating the biscuits.
