The show 64 Zoo Lane follows the adventures of a little girl named Lucy who lives next door to a zoo. Each night, Lucy is visited by a different animal from the zoo who tells her a story about their life. Season 3 episode 17 is titled The Story of Patsy the Porcupine.
Patsy is a porcupine who lives in the jungle and loves to climb trees. However, one day she falls out of a tree and gets a thorn stuck in her paw. She is unable to remove the thorn herself, so she heads to the nearby animal hospital for help. The hospital, run by the kindly Dr. Giggles, is a busy place with many patients, but Patsy patiently waits her turn.
Meanwhile, the other animals in the jungle are worried about Patsy's absence. They decide to come together to form a search party to look for her. They split up and search the jungle for any sign of Patsy. Finally, they reach the hospital and find her waiting patiently to be seen by Dr. Giggles.
Dr. Giggles examines Patsy's paw and removes the thorn. He tells her that she will need to rest for a few days before she can climb trees again. Patsy is disappointed, but she knows that she needs to take care of herself in order to heal.
The other animals visit Patsy in the hospital and bring her gifts to help her feel better, such as books, flowers, and even a small tree to keep in her hospital room. They all hope that Patsy will feel better soon so that she can return to her favorite pastime of climbing trees.
As the days go by, Patsy starts to feel better and she is finally able to leave the hospital. She returns to the jungle to find that the other animals have all come together to build her a special treehouse where she can rest and recover. Patsy is overjoyed and grateful for their kindness.
From that day on, Patsy takes her time when climbing trees and is always careful to watch her step. She realizes that she does not want to risk hurting herself again and being away from her friends and family in the jungle.
The Story of Patsy the Porcupine is a heartwarming tale about the importance of taking care of oneself and the power of friendship and community. Children will love the colorful jungle setting and the lovable animal characters, while also learning valuable lessons about self-care and kindness.
