-OK, Mum.

Whee!

Yay! Hello, everyone.

Oh-oh-oh.

And poor Nelson.

Oh, it's no use.

Giggles, Tickles, what's wrong?

It's Boris!

BOTH: In our tree!

Boris, how did you get up there?

I don't know. Oh!

Oh, I'm too scared to come down.

What is going on here?

We can't help it, Lucy, it's been a very strange day.

A topsy-turvy sort of day.

THEY ALL AGREE

You need story.

Yes, Bao Bao, I think we do need a story.

Bao Bao tell story of Confuse-Us, wise old carp.

Bao Bao always wake up early to see fine morning.

Oh, oh, oh.

Bao Bao say good morning to friend Horace.

Oh!

Oh, good morning, Bao Bao.

Hey, look!

'That day, something was wrong with my morning.'

Why clouds down here? Clouds supposed to be up in sky.

Maybe they not feel well.

Cloud need hug to make feel better.

Ooh. Oh! O-oh.

Cloud not like hug!

Come on, Bao Bao, let's go for our morning walk.

'Then we saw not very happy bees.'

BEES BUZZ

Why bees buzzing?

I think they're upset because the thingummy flowers won't open.

But why flowers not want open?

Flowers supposed to open in morning always.

Hm. This is all rather odd. Topsy-turvy, even.

It's a mystery.

Oh! We need find wisdom to solve mystery.

'So we went to see Confuse-Us, wise old carp, who lives in Mirror Lake.'

GONG VIBRATES LOUDLY

Greetings.

Who comes seeking advice from Confuse-Us the wise?

Horace and Bao Bao. We need your wisdom, O wise carp.

We've seen many strange things today.

The clouds have come down from the sky,

the flowers won't open and the bees are upset.

All this making Bao Bao bamboozled.

What should we do?

It is the ping and the pong.

-They are out of the balance.

-Ping, pong?

What's he talking about?

Bao Bao getting more and more bamboozled.

But Confuse-Us is very wise fish. We should do as he says.

Do not worry, my friends.

I will show you how to restore balance of ping and pong.

We must go on a journey to So-High Mountains.

So-High Mountains far away. First, we cross the moon steps.

Oh-oh!

And walk through water-cloud shower.

Then, follow wind path up to mountain.

Hey, look, over there, it's Cassandra the Crane.

-CASSANDRA:

-Eek!

Cassandra was not happy crane.

Bao Bao help.

Ooh. Oooh! Ooh.

Thanks, Bao Bao.

Oh!

I don't what happened there. My knees feel all wonky.

It's a very strange sort of day.

Don't worry, Cassandra, we're going to make everything OK again.

GOAT BLEATS

Oh, not again! I keep sliding down every time I try to climb this rock.

Huggy!

'Gertie was not a happy goat.'

-Oh.

-Oh!

SHE BLEATS

-Oh.

-Oh.

-Come on, Bao Bao, we must travel on.

Yes, the balance of ping and pong must be restored before sun sets.

'Climbing was hard work.

'But, finally, we arrived high up on So-High Mountains.'

So, here we are. What do we do now, wise old carp?

Oh!

Strange, I can't remember. Must do more thinking.

-Mm.

-HE MUMBLES

So what about this ping and pong business?

Confuse-Us wise fish.

He thinking more wise thoughts.

HORACE SIGHS Well, I can't see any ping here.

I see no pong, either. Only a tree with strange leaves.

Agh!

Oh!

Wah!

-Ha!

-Oh!

-Oh!

-Oh.

Oh-oh! Ooh-hoo.

Confuse-Us remember now

how to restore balance between ping and pong.
