Bluey Story - Slide

This episode of Bluey is called Slide. It's a beautiful, warm day at the Healer house, and Dad is just getting home from the shops. He steps out of his car, holding a large, colorful package. while Bingo and her friend Lila play a game of paper, scissors, rock on the front steps. Paper, scissors, rock, they chant. Bingo throws scissors. Lila throws rock. I win! Lila declares triumphantly.

tapping her rock sign on Bingo's scissors. Lucky, Bingo replies with a smile. Dad approaches, grinning. It's your lucky day, kids. Look what I just bought. He presents the package. What is it? Bingo asks, curious. A water slide, Dad announces. Hooray! Bingo and Leela cheer together. Now in the backyard, Dad unrolls the water slide across the lawn. Leela waits at one end while Bingo stands by the tap. Dad hooks up the hose and gives Leela a thumbs up. Good to go, Leela!

Leela passes the signal along. Good to go, Bingo! Bingo turns on the tap, giggling. Good to go, me! As water jets start to spray, Bingo and Leela squeal with delight. their tails wagging furiously. Dad steps back, satisfied. Have fun, squirts! The two friends eagerly take turns sliding down the water slide. Bingo demonstrates first, shouting,

Watch me, Lila. She takes a running leap, sliding down on her belly and squealing with joy. Lila follows, landing in a seated position and spinning as she slides. We are the luckiest kids in the world, Bingo declares as they run back to the start. Let's go down together, Leela suggests. They clasp hands, take a running start.

and glide down the slide side by side. But their fun comes to an abrupt halt when Bingo spots a tiny plant hopper crossing their path. Oh no! Stop! Stop! Just stop! Bingo yells. Leela, unsure of why their fun would need to come to such a sudden standstill, asks, Why did we stop? There's a leaf bug in the way, Bingo explains. Aw, she's so cute, leave the coos. After the girls finish admiring the leaf bug,

Bingo carefully moves it off the slide and to safety using a twig. Okay, you can go Leela, she says with a thumbs up. Leela runs to the slide, but just as she starts, Bingo shouts again. Ah, wait, stop! This time, a ladybird is on the slide. Leela tumbles backward, sliding down on her back and narrowly avoiding the bug. I love ladybirds, Leela says as she helps Bingo move it. We can't squish them. Once again, Bingo moves the bug off of the slide and to safety.

Soon after, Leela spots an ant crossing the slide and asks, Bingo, can we squish ants? Bingo hesitates. Well, I... Don't like them as much as ladybirds, but I still don't think we should squish them. Leela agrees and comes up with an idea to roll up the edges of the water slide, creating walls to keep bugs off. Lucky you're so smart, Leela! Bingo compliments her friend's design, and back to sliding they go. But the plan falters when a grasshopper leaps onto the slide. Bingo shrieks, Ah!

Grasshoppers can fly. I can't stop. She manages to barely avoid the insect by pushing off her bum to jump over it. That was close, Bingo says. Leela agrees and replies, yeah, grasshopper, you're lucky Bingo can fly too. The insects were all safe, but it became clear that the walls made by Leela and Bingo won't keep the bugs away. Frustrated, Bingo and Leela stand at the start of the water slide and contemplate their next move. What if we just close our eyes and slide down? Leela suggests.

I'm not sure about that, Bingo replies. They try it anyway, but as she's running up to the slide, Bingo accidentally crashes into Lila. As they giggle, Lila spots a beetle on the slide. Whoa, he's all rainbow-y. Bingo marvels. The girls sulk, calling themselves unlucky and the bugs the lucky ones. They realize that they can't stop the bugs from appearing.

but they also don't want to waste a perfectly good water sliding day. Laying down on their backs on the lawn, Lila comes up with a solution. How about one person slides down slowly and checks for bugs? And if there's no bugs, she yells, no bugs. And then the other person can slide down. Bingo laughs. Yeah, and pretend it's a job. Yeah, bug inspector.

Leela declares proudly. She slides down slowly, a twig in each hand, carefully scanning for insects. When she spots a beetle, Leela carefully moves it off the slide with a twig before calling, Okay, no bugs! Go, Bingo! And Bingo gleefully slides down, squealing, Thanks, bug inspector! As they take turns inspecting and sliding, a caterpillar appears.

climbing onto the slide. Bingo spots it and stops. Ooh, a caterpillar. You're lucky we have a bug inspector, Mr. Caterpillar. She tries to move it, but it stubbornly crawls away. Suddenly, Dad comes charging toward the slide. Make way, he shouts, tossing his hat aside. Bingo and Leela scream, ah, stop! But Dad is running at full pace, gathering momentum as he approaches the start of the slide. You can't stop the big blue guy, shouts Dad.

Dad, no! shouts Bingo as Dad starts his slide. They desperately try to move the caterpillar, but it refuses to cooperate. In a last-ditch effort, they pull the slides into a sharp turn. Dad, sliding at full speed, flies off the slide, crashing into a garden gnome, hitting Dad where it hurts the most. Dad narrowly missed sliding into the caterpillar. Phew.

That was close, Lila sighs with relief. What was that about? Dad groans from the bushes. Bingo replies firmly. You have to wait for the bug inspector. In a weary, pained voice, Dad replies, I don't know what that is. The girls gently move the caterpillar to a bright green leaf, making sure it's safe and sound.

The little creature crawls to the underside of the leaf and hangs itself upside down. Over the next few days, it wraps itself in a protective shell, getting ready for an amazing transformation. One day, the shell starts to wiggle, and suddenly it cracks open. Out comes a beautiful blue butterfly with wings.

The butterfly flutters into the air, enjoying its first flight in the big open sky. Days later, Bingo and Leela are back on the front steps, playing paper-scissors-rock. This time... Bingo wins. Ooh, lucky, Lila exclaims, echoing Bingo's earlier words. Just then, the stunning blue butterfly flutters down and lands delicately on their clasped hands.

Bingo and Leela don't realize it, but it's the same caterpillar they rescued from the water slide, now transformed into a butterfly. Perhaps it's come back to say thank you. The girls gasp in wonder, their eyes wide with amazement, as the butterfly rests briefly before spreading its wings and soaring into the sky once more. That's lucky.

Bingo whispers, astonished at their luck. Bingo and Leela's compassion in saving the caterpillar proves that sometimes luck isn't something that happens to you. Luck is something you create. by showing kindness, thoughtfulness and care.
