Bing Bong Bell
Episode 52 Planet: Sound
Learning concept of the episode: By listening carefully, we can recognise and tell the difference among different sounds (e.g. telling the difference between an alarm bell, a cow bell and even birds tweeting.
Story Summary
Bing and Bong arrive at a friend’s house on the Tine Planet of Sound. They ring the doorbell at the front entrance, but they hear the back door shutting. Befuddled, the pair trot around to the back and pulls a long cord that chimes. Now, they hear the front door slam shut. They try ringing at both doors again then realize their Flocker friend is confused by the different bell sounds. Bing and Bong split up, one at each door. Finally, the Flocker finds one of them and lets them in. Once inside Bing and Bong help their friend identify the different bells. When Bing’s alarm sounds, the Flocker checks an oven and a phone looking for the source before Bing points out his watch.
