However, he soon realizes that he has to be careful with the hose as he accidentally sprays his little sister Pinga, who gets angry and storms off. Pingu decides to apologize to Pinga and chases after her.
In the second part, "Pottery Pingu," Pingu's mother gives him a block of clay and asks him to make a pot out of it. Pingu is excited and starts working on his pot.

The clay keeps slipping from his hands, and he can't seem to get the shape right. He tries his best to make a good pot, but it keeps getting lopsided. Finally, after several attempts, he makes a pot that he is happy with. However, when he shows it to his mother, she is not impressed and tells him that he needs to make it smoother and more even. Pingu is disappointed, but he doesn't give up. He keeps working on his pot and finally makes a perfect one that his mother is proud of.
