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!

Nok Tok finds a special new plant. He calls it his Happy Plant. When the plant goes floppy, Yojojo's pipes, Lau Lau's bongleberries and the dancing cheebies make the plant happy and healthy again.

De Li tries to count her jumpy seeds. Nok Tok arrives to plant them. He distracts De Li and she cannot count. She goes somewhere else that is quiet but Yojojo starts practising his spinning. 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 is happily playing his pipling pipes. He wants to find out what makes the other Piplings happy. De Li loves gardening, Lau lau loves dancing and Nok Tok loves driving his naracar. When the cheebies arrive they tell Yojojo all the things that make them happy too but Yojojo wants to find one thing for them all to do together. The cheebies suggest a Happiness Parade. Now they can all do one happy thing marching happily together through Nara!

De Li is playing on her shoehorns. She wants to find a game she and her narabug can play together. But the shoehorns are too big for her narabug. Lau Lau tries to help. But the pebble Lau Lau uses in her Hop Hop game is too heavy for the narabug to lift and Yojojo's game of Tricky Kicky is simply too tricky! When the cheebies arrive, one cheebie notices that wherever De Li goes, her narabug follows. She suggests to De Li that they play a follow game together. It is the game perfect for everyone!

Nok Tok's narabug likes listening to the songbird's song. When the bird flies away, Nok Tok's narabug is sad. Nok Tok promises he will go and find it. However, Nok Tok keeps finding reasons to stay with the other Piplings. When the cheebies arrive, Nok Tok admits he is worried about being lonely on his trip. So they all agree to search with him and help keep Nok Tok's promise to his narabug.

De Li and Yojojo are playing bell-buloo: Yojojo closes his eyes, De Li rings a small bell and carefully he tries to find where she is. Lau Lau wants to play too but when she closes her eyes, she stumbles and falls over a stone. Lau Lau loses her confidence. She finds it difficult to play the game again. When the cheebies arrive, they clear the grass of all stones and twigs. Together they help Lau Lau regain her confidence and soon she happily joins in bell-buloo once again!

Yojojo finds an orange. He wants to share it with everyone - but how? De Li tells Yojojo how she shared her water, but De Li had lots of water and Yojojo only has one orange. Nok Tok tells Yojojo how he shared things by using his Anything Machine, but it's not right for Yojojo's orange. When the cheebies arrive, Lau Lau tells them all how she shared her singing bowl, but Yojojo still doesn't know how to share his orange. Then the cheebies have an idea. They show Yojojo how to peel the orange. Then everyone can share the segments!

De Li has made surprise flower garlands for the other Piplings. Every time she tries to secretly deliver them, the other Piplings almost see her. So De Li's narabug delivers them for her. The other Piplings are thrilled with their garlands but they don't know who they are from. When the cheebies arrive, they help discover it was De Li who made their garlands. Now the other Piplings want to make a surprise flower garland for De Li but there are no flowers left. They come up with the idea to take a flower from each of their garlands to make an extra special garland for De Li!

Nok Tok's Anything Machine makes a big, blue, bongleberry bubble. Lau Lau tries to keep it safe but it bursts. She is very sorry. She wants to make some more. But there are no more bongleberries. When the cheebies arrive, they help Lau Lau collect other fruits. Lau Lau is worried that Nok Tok will be sad not to have a bongleberry bubble. But the Anything Machine can make bubbles from any fruit. The bubbles are now lots of different colours and Nok Tok is delighted!

Nok Tok finds a rock that's great for jumping off. He wants to share it with the other Piplings. Yojojo uses it as a drum. De Li and Lau Lau have fun with it too! Nok Tok wants to move it nearer their home. But when they try they discover the rock is too heavy. When the cheebies arrive, they help the Piplings push the rock all the way home. Then they find out the rock is home to a little frog. So everyone moves the rock back again. The frog is happy for them to come and play on his rock anytime they like!

The Piplings all want to have a ride in Nok Toks Follow-Box. But Nok Tok can't decide who should go first. When the cheebies arrive, they teach Nok Tok a choosing rhyme. Nok Tok decides he would prefer all the Piplings to ride together. So with the help of the cheebies, Nok Tok cleverly makes two more follow-boxes, so they have one each. Now everyone can travel together!

Lau Lau wants to put on a Dance Show for the cheebies. Each Pipling has their own special dance. But De Li is too shy to dance in front of the cheebies. She watches with the cheebies whilst the others dance. The cheebies have their own dance too: a caterpillar dance. De Li sees her narabug join in. The dance is fun and soon De Li joins the cheebies too. De Li was simply too shy to dance on her own. Now everyone is part of the Dance Show.

Series set in the magical land of Nara, inhabited by the joyful and gentle Piplings. Lau Lau, De Li and Nok Tok are busy gathering presents for the cheebies. Yojojo is having fun and making them all laugh. He wants to find something to give the cheebies too, but he doesn't know what. When the cheebies arrive, Yojojo is sorry he hasn't got a gift for them. But he still makes the cheebies laugh. The cheebies tell him that laughter is a fantastic gift too!

Nok Tok wants to make bongleberry Juice for everyone, so De Li goes to pick the bongleberries. The others offer to help too but De Li wants to do it by herself. When the cheebies arrive, they also offer to help De Li, but she thinks they should play instead. Finally De Li has picked so many bongleberries that she cannot carry them all to Nok Tok. Now she needs help!

Lau Lau is making a picture of Nara as a surprise present for Yojojo's home. De Li and Nok Tok help. When the cheebies arrive, they help too! Once the picture is finished, Lau Lau gives it to Yojojo. He is delighted! He wants to hang it up at once. But Lau Lau loves the picture so much; she is disappointed that she won't see it again. Yojojo has a great idea. He hangs the picture outside his home for everyone to enjoy!
