0:01:32 > 0:01:34Wheeee!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Huh? - ALL: Ommmmmm.

0:01:39 > 0:01:44- Hello, everyone! What ARE you doing? - Oh, hello, Lucy!

0:01:44 > 0:01:48We're learning some new exercises from our guest.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50This is Cassandra, Lucy.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Hello, I'm Lucy.

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Oh.

0:01:58 > 0:02:03Ah, ommm... A great pleasure to meet you, Lucy.

0:02:03 > 0:02:04SHE LAUGHS

0:02:04 > 0:02:07I've never seen anyone say hello like THAT before!

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Not everyone says hello in the same way, you know!

0:02:11 > 0:02:16And sometimes that comes as a bit of a shock!

0:02:16 > 0:02:19It certainly did from my friend Horace the Hare.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23- Sounds like a story! - Tell us, Cassandra.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25As you wish.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30Far away in the East, in the So High Mountains, the sun was shining,

0:02:30 > 0:02:34and Bowbow the panda had set off on his morning walk.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Bowbow was very friendly and always greeted everyone

0:02:38 > 0:02:42in traditional panda style, with a nice big hug.

0:02:48 > 0:02:54Bowbow say hello to Gertie the Goat.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Ahhhh. Cosy.

0:02:57 > 0:03:02Everyone loved Bowbow, and we all looked forward to his morning hugs.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05He was a very popular panda.

0:03:11 > 0:03:17- Morning, Bowbow!- Bowbow give huggy to Cassandra the Crane.

0:03:19 > 0:03:20Aaaah.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27'But there was one creature Bowbow had not yet got to know properly.'

0:03:27 > 0:03:33Horace the Hare. Horace always seemed too busy to say hello to Bowbow.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Oh, yes, such delicate flowers!

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Just the thing for my lunch table.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Bowbow give Horace the Hare traditional panda greeting.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Huggy!

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Aargh!

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Huggy!

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Where he go?- So sorry, Bowbow. Can't stop.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Some other time perhaps. Terrible hurry. Bye!

0:04:05 > 0:04:09Aw, Horace. Too busy for Bowbow hug.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16But the truth was, Horace was NOT too busy - he was nervous.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Horace had never been hugged before.

0:04:19 > 0:04:25What if Bowbow's paws crush me? I'd better stay out of his way.

0:04:25 > 0:04:31But he was a very friendly panda, and wanted everyone to enjoy his hugs.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34So he decided to keep a special lookout for Horace.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42Ohhh!

0:04:48 > 0:04:49Oh!

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Oh...

0:05:01 > 0:05:02Phew!

0:05:02 > 0:05:08Horace could not hide for ever. And one day Bowbow got lucky.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Oh! Lovely!

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Greetings, Horace.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Ouchy!- Horace hurt?

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Horace need nice, big, soft Bowbow huggy.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29What? No! I'm fine, really, Bowbow, it was nothing.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34- Huggy make it all better for Horace. - No!

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Horace no want huggy?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Indeed. Horace no want huggy.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- No huggy?- No huggy. Pandas like hugs. No offence,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48but hares don't like hugs.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Hare no like hug?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Maybe goat no like hug...

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Maybe crane no like hug!

0:06:06 > 0:06:09No-one like Bowbow hug.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17Bowbow hug only...Bowbow.

0:06:18 > 0:06:23So the next day, Bowbow did things differently.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Goodie! Time for my favourite bit of the day!

0:06:27 > 0:06:29- SHE BLEATS - Morning, Bowbow!

0:06:29 > 0:06:31BOWBOW SIGHS

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Greetings, Gertie.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Hey, Bowbow, over here!

0:06:37 > 0:06:39You forgot my hug.

0:06:42 > 0:06:47Ah, here comes my hug! Good morning, Bowbow.

0:06:47 > 0:06:52- Greetings, Cassandra. - Hug time, Bowbow!

0:06:52 > 0:06:53Bowbow?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Did I say something wrong?

0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Did you see that, Gertie? - Yeah, he did the same thing to me.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05No big, cosy hug.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Bowbow SAY greetings.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Ah, yes, good morning, Bowbow.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Marvellous, marvellous. HE LAUGHS

0:07:23 > 0:07:25BOTH: Ohh.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Why the long faces?

0:07:28 > 0:07:31It's Bowbow - he's stopped hugging.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Yes, isn't that great?

0:07:35 > 0:07:36It isn't?

0:07:36 > 0:07:38- SHE BLEATS - No.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40We love Bowbow's hugs.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44You LIKE being hugged? What's there to like?!

0:07:44 > 0:07:50- You get this warm, fuzzy feeling inside.- And it's so cosy.

0:07:50 > 0:07:56His hugs are the best bit of my day. Whatever could have made him stop?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Oh, dear.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02'Horace realised that he had a lot to learn about hugs.'

0:08:02 > 0:08:04So he decided to go

0:08:04 > 0:08:08and see the wise old carp who lived in Mirror Lake.

0:08:14 > 0:08:22Greetings. Who come seeking advice from Confusus the Wise?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24It's me, Horace. I've got a problem.

0:08:24 > 0:08:31There's no problem without answer from Confusus. Explain.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36It's like this. I've upset Bowbow because I don't want to be hugged,

0:08:36 > 0:08:40but now he won't hug anyone and everyone's fed up. What shall I do?

0:08:40 > 0:08:46Confusus say if Horace the Hare no want Bowbow's gift of hug,

0:08:46 > 0:08:50then he should return it.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Oh, great. Very helpful.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Thank you, Confusus.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Horace had no idea what he meant.

0:09:00 > 0:09:05But he was determined to make things right for the other animals.

0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Greetings.- I'm sorry I told you to stop hugging, Bowbow.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15Bowbow sorry too. Bowbow no want to scare Horace.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Bowbow no want scare no-one.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Well, the thing is, I've never actually had a hug before.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24I don't know what hugs are like.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Bowbow think hug...nice.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31HE SOBS

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Please don't cry, I can't bear it.
