01 Moving Things Episode 126th May 2009 De Li stands on a box to reach some plumatoes on a tree. Having picked the fruit, she takes the box to her pod, but when she gets back from Yogo the box has gone! It turns out that each Pipling is borrowing the box for his or her own needs. They each take it, not realising that they're depriving the others of it. When the children arrive, they help by taking it to each Pipling. De Li realises that they can all use the box as long as they work together. 02 Showtime Episode 228th May 2009 Lau Lau is planning a big show. She gathers everyone at Yo Jojo's performance area and does her dance. The others are so impressed, they join in! But their moves aren't right and worse, they're taking the limelight away from Lau Lau. When the children arrive, she shows them her dance and this time she wants them to join in. Everything is working in synch and it looks great! But the other Piplings are wistful and wish they could dance too. Eventually, the children teach them the proper moves, and they all put on the show as a group. Lau Lau is delighted... She realises that everyone dancing together really is the most fun and that perhaps she should have included them from the start! 03 Trumpet Episode 319th May 2009 Yojojo and Nok Tok find a hollowed-out trumpet-like branch and blow through it to make a loud noise. They're so delighted with the sound that they blow even harder! Every time they blow, they are overwhelmed with joy at the sound that it makes. But there's a problem: Lau Lau is trying to dance with her narabug, and the loud noise keeps scaring it away. When the children arrive, they show Nok Tok and Yojojo a way of playing the trumpet more softly. Eventually they manage to produce such a gentle tune that the narabugs actually like the sound and come back to dance with Lau Lau. 04 Strawberries Episode 411th May 2009 De Li discovers a strawberry patch but then gets called away to Yogo. After Yogo she wants to pick lots of strawberries to share with her friends but she can't find the patch again. Nok Tok shows her how to use her one strawberry to help her narabug sniff out the patch again. She fills a basket and heads back. But, as she distributes them, she forgets to leave any for herself. Now there are none left for her narabug to sniff and get the scent again. The children help by splitting up and searching out the patch. Everyone else gets to the strawberries before De Li. They pick all but one and head off to look for her. When she arrives she gets her narabug to sniff the one remaining strawberry and find another patch. Instead it leads her to Nok Tok's pod where the others are all waiting to share their strawberries with her! 05 Snuggly Nest Episode 52nd June 2009 Lau Lau is sewing the last of four beautiful cushions using narabug thread. After Yogo, she presents three of them to the others but then realises that her own is missing. There's just a length of lilac thread leading off into Nara. Lau Lau and the other Piplings follow the thread but it keeps coming to an end. Each time it does, Lau Lau thinks they should give up and turn back, but the others convince her to continue and eventually find the thread again. It leads to feathers, a rustle in a bush, and the sound of birdsong. Eventually it's Lau Lau who perseveres and, along with the children, they discover a beautiful bird who has used the cushion to create a wonderful nest! 06 Whistle Episode 64th June 2009 Nok Tok sees Lau Lau whistle up to the sky and her narabug come down to land on her head. What a great trick! But when he tries, he discovers he can't whistle. All it seems he can blow are raspberries! Lau Lau tells him to blow gently and to practise. But when Yojojo realises that he is the only Pipling who can't whistle, he wants to get round the process of learning. When the children arrive, he tries to do the narabug call using a whistle stick instead, but it doesn't work like real whistling. Then he tries to use his Anything Machine to create a whistle sound, but that doesn't bring his narabug down either. The children try whistling too but one of them can't. So she encourages Nok Tok to practise with her. Now that he doesn't have to practise alone, Nok Tok applies himself and eventually they finally get the hang of it. Everyone whistles and all the narabugs flutter down and land on their heads. 07 Shy Flower Episode 79th June 2009 De Li discovers a sad looking plant that hasn't flowered. She moves it into the sun and waters it, but it just won't bloom like the others. When she unwittingly shows it affection by stroking it, it suddenly produces the most beautiful flower she has ever seen. But as soon as she leaves, the flower retreats into its bud. De Li asks the Piplings to help her make the plant happy so that it blooms again but neither Lau Lau's dancing nor Nok Tok and Yojojo's music works. Once the children arrive, De Li retraces her steps and eventually realises that it was her affectionate touch which made the flower appear. So they all stroke the plant again until it is so happy that its spores burst out and create new flowers for them all! 08 Going Bananas Episode 811th June 2009 Lau Lau has set up three bananas in a bowl for the children to paint. Bananas are Yojojo's favourite but she tells him he can't eat any until later. When Lau Lau heads off for some yellow paint, Yojojo tries several ways to stop himself eating the bananas. But his willpower isn't very good and he eats two of them! When the children arrive, they convince Yojojo to confess to Lau Lau. But he slips on the banana skins and she guesses before he has a chance to tell her. There's still one left, though, and Lau Lau forgives him, while the children help him not to eat it! Yojojo demonstrates great self-restraint, the banana is painted, and Lau Lau agrees that he can now have it. But he wants to share it, only he's worried that one banana doesn't seem enough. Luckily, De Li and Nok Tok return to the group with lots more bananas, for everyone! 09 Nok Tok's Naracar Episode 916th June 2009 All the Piplings are busy except Nok Tok. De Li needs a rock for her garden; Yojojo needs wood to mend his slide; Lau Lau needs to move a stone statue to her art house. Nok Tok offers to help, but he can't lift and carry everything at the same time. When the cheebies arrive, Nok Tok tries to think of a solution to his problem. He watches the cheebies playing: they pretend to be a train and then a plane. This gives Nok Tok an idea - he asks the cheebies to help him, and together they help Nok Tok build his most useful invention ever, the Nara Car. Nok Tok loads everything into the back of his car and delivers it as he promised. 10 Bubble Episode 1023rd June 2009 A beautiful big bubble floats past Yojojo's home.
