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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
A beautiful big bubble floats past Yojojo's home. Yojojo loves bubbles and he chases after it to stop it from bursting! He saves the bubble from branches, bushes and the other Piplings. Finally it floats away. When the cheebies arrive, the bubble reappears and together they all try keeping it the air. They follow the bubble to the waterfall, where they discover lots and lots more bubbles. There are so many that they can all enjoy popping them. Even Yojojo!

So she finds somewhere else. This time Lau Lau arrives with a special picture for De Li. De Li loves the picture but she still hasn't counted her jumpy seeds! When the cheebies arrive, they all help De Li count and finally Nok Tok can plant. As the jumpy seeds are planted, they bloom into jumpy plants. The jumpy plants make lots and lots more seeds... far too many for De Li to count!
Yojojo's Narabug makes him jump. Then he sees a big, flappy shape which makes him jump even more. He wants to show the other Piplings and the cheebies, who discover the big, flappy shape is only the shadow of Yojojo's Narabug. Now Yojojo knows it is only a shadow, he can feel brave once again.
Nok Tok finds Yojojo's ball. Yojojo is so happy that he suggests they all play catch. But Nok Tok can't catch! The other Piplings take it in turns to show Nok Tok different ways of learning how to catch. But Nok Tok still can't do it. When the cheebies arrive, they also play the game. Now Nok Tok shows them the different ways the other Piplings have learned to catch. By doing so he finally learns to catch the ball too: by not closing his eyes!
De Li builds a sandcastle but Nok Tok accidentally falls on top of it and the castle is destroyed. Nok Tok vows to make her another. It will be the biggest sand castle ever! He enlists the help of Lau Lau and Yojojo. De Li wants to help too, but Nok Tok explains as the sand castle is for De Li, she must let the others make it for her. Even the cheebies help, but De Li is disappointed. She loves making sandcastles. So the cheebies ask Nok Tok if De Li can join in, but it is too late! The sandcastle is finished. Or so Nok Tok thinks. De Li decides it's not finished until it's decorated. So together with the cheebies she does just that! Now it is the biggest sandcastle and the most beautiful.
Nok Tok wants everyone to play Tricky Kicky. But De Li thinks playing the game is difficult. One by one, each Pipling shows De Li the special ways they use to kick the pod through the posts. But each time De Li tries to kick, it goes wrong. Then the cheebies arrive and start to play. One cheebie gives De Li her lucky pebble to help her kick the pod. De Li holds the pebble while she kicks... and it works! De Li is so happy. However, as De Li is about to do her final kick, she waves at the cheebies and loses the pebble! The cheebies explain that De Li doesn't always need it. If she has done it once, she can do it again. Sure enough, De Li kicks the ball through the posts... all by herself.
Yojojo loves mangoes. He picks one to share with Nok Tok but it tastes yucky! Yojojo doesn't know why. De Li tells Yojojo it isn't soft, so Nok Tok tries throwing it into the air, but it stays hard and still tastes bad. Then Lau Lau tells Yojojo it isn't yellow... so the cheebies try rubbing it with yellow leaves. But that doesn't help either! Finally De Li tells Yojojo everyone needs to wait for the mango to become ripe. So they all wait... and wait... until finally the mango is ready to eat. Everyone eats a piece and it's Waybuloo!
Yojojo finds a songbird. The songbird sings beautifully and Yojojo plays along on his Pipling pipes. He puts the songbird into a basket to show the other Piplings. But when they arrive, the songbird will no longer sing. Yojojo is puzzled. The other Piplings offer it different things to make it sing, but the songbird stays silent. When the cheebies arrive, they tell Yojojo that birds don't like to be kept in baskets. So Yojojo sets the bird free. The bird flies high into the trees. So everyone plays whistles to bring it back down. The songbird, the cheebies and the Piplings all make beautiful music together.
Lau Lau watches Nok Tok make seeds from fir cones as a special present for the birds. Lau Lau loves the fir cones. So Nok Tok gives the rest to her as a special present too. Now Lau Lau wants to find a special present for Nok Tok. De Li and Yojojo help Lau Lau in her hunt for special presents for everyone: lots of different fruit. When the cheebies arrive, Lau Lau wants everyone to be able to share and have something special. But there's not enough different fruit for everyone. The cheebies have the answer. They ask Nok Tok to use his Anything Machine to turn all the fruit into fruity juice. Now everyone can share Lau Lau's special presents.
Yojojo is spinning. He shows off to the other Piplings. They are impressed. Yojojo can spin more times than any of them. Next, they play Lifty Leaf. Yojojo is best at that game too! But when the cheebies arrive, Yojojo gets hiccups. Suddenly he cannot spin or play Lifty Leaf any more. So the other Piplings and cheebies help him find a cure. Once his hiccups have gone, Yojojo shows them a game that everyone can play. Now they can all be the best!
De Li finds a baby bird in her garden. She decides to look after it. She gives it some seeds but the baby bird isn't happy. So De Li asks the other Piplings to help cheer it up. They all try but nothing seems to work. Then Lau Lau paints a picture of a Mummy Bird and for a little while the bird is happy. When the cheebies arrive, De Li asks everyone to look for the baby bird's real mother. They search high and low until they finally find the bird's nest. They return the baby bird to the nest and its mummy soon appears.
Nok Tok is playing with his Narabug. It flies into a cave. Nok Tok calls into the cave and a voice answers back. Nok Tok thinks he has found a new friend in the cave. He introduces his new friend to the other Piplings. Then they discover there are more voices coming from the cave. But the friends won't come out to see them. When the cheebies arrive, they bring gifts to try and persuade the new friends to play with them. But the friends still stay inside. Finally the cheebies realise that the voices in the cave are echoes. They explain this to the Piplings. Now everyone has their own special echo friend!
De Li finds a frog in her garden. When the frog sees her, it makes a strange sound. De Li thinks the sound is very funny. She brings the other Piplings to see the frog and asks it to make the sound again. But the frog is quiet. The Piplings and then the cheebies all try lots of different things to persuade the frog to make the sound. But the frog remains silent. Finally, the cheebies ask De Li what she did when she first found the frog. De Li remembers. She fell over and made a funny noise herself. When she does the same thing again, the frog makes his noise again. They all realise that the frog is laughing and they all laugh together!
Yoyojo wants to see the 'whizzcracker' flashes that occasionally appear in the Nara sky. But every time one goes by, Yojojo is somewhere else and he misses them. Nok Tok, Lau Lau and De Li all see the whizzcrackers, but not Yojojo! So the other Piplings and the cheebies make 'whizzybongles' by throwing bongleberries into the sky. Yojojo likes them too, but he still wants to see the whizzcrackers. His patience is finally rewarded when he eventually sees more whizzcrackers than ever before - all at once!
Lau Lau is making twig tiaras for the Piplings. She wants to make them sparkly but has run out of glitter! Then she sees something sparkling off in the distance. The Piplings go to investigate. All they find are coloured stones with no sparkle at all. When the cheebies arrive, the sun comes out and the coloured stones suddenly glimmer and sparkle again. They realise that the stones are crystals and it is the sun that makes them sparkle. So they use the crystals to make beautiful sparkling crowns for everyone!
De Li has a special 'fast grow' seed and asks Yojojo to look after it. Yojojo is very keen to do a good job, but a jumpbybug appears and Yojojo wants to play, so he leaves the seed and chases after the bug.

When Yojojo has finished playing, he discovers the seed has disappeared!
Lau Lau loves to paint and she decides to paint a picture of her Narabug, but the Narabug is very flittery and won't stay still. Nok Tok tries to help.

When the cheebies arrive, they collect Neepnips, the Narabug's favourite food and make a trail to Lau Lau.
Nok Tok wants to make a perfect picnic for all the Piplings. They all arrive but so does a large cloud! It makes the picnic shady. Lau Lau likes the shade but Nok Tok wants to find another spot. When he does, a fly appears and starts to buzz nosily. Yojojo thinks the fly is funny but Nok Tok doesn't. So they all move again. This time they set their picnic near a plumato tree. A plumato splats onto the ground making De Li laugh. But Nok Tok isn't laughing. The cheebies arrive and try to help him find yet another spot for the picnic. However, the cloud reappears and so does the fly. The other Piplings tell Nok Tok they are happy and when he sees how much De Li laughs when a cheebie brings more plumatoes to splat, he agrees that they are having the perfect picnic after all!
Yojojo hides behind a tree and talks to Lau Lau. Lau Lau wants to introduce all the other Piplings to her new tree friend! Yojojo is worried that Lau Lau will be upset when she discovers that the tree can't really talk, but Lau Lau is more upset when the tree won't even say hello! When the cheebies arrive, she wants them to meet the talking tree too, but it remains silent. Yojojo tries to fix things by talking to Lau Lau from behind the tree one last time, so it can tell her that it's decided it isn't going to talk anymore. But the cheebies see Yojojo behind the tree and they say he must tell Lau Lau the truth. Yojojo is worried that Lau Lau will be cross with him but she's delighted at the joke!
Lau Lau thinks that a squeak she hears is a mouse and tells the other Piplings. They are all excited about a visit from their new mice friends. They help her prepare a special welcoming party. When the cheebies arrive, they too help with the preparations, but no mice appear. It seems that they are too shy to come out and play. The cheebies pretend to be mice to make them feel at home!
