Season 3 episode 25 of Sarah & Duck is titled "Donkey Jump", and it features Sarah and Duck facing a fun and exciting challenge that involves a donkey and a big jump. The episode starts with Sarah and Duck walking through the fields, enjoying the bright sun and the fresh air, when they stumble upon a donkey named Donkey. Donkey is friendly and curious, and soon Sarah and Duck strike up a conversation with him, playing hide and seek and sharing snacks.

However, all of a sudden, they hear a distant voice calling out his name. It's the donkey's owner, a kind and enthusiastic farmer named Mr. N, who introduces himself to Sarah and Duck and explains that he's training Donkey to participate in a local jumping competition. The competition is a big deal, and Mr. N is excited about it, but he needs a bit of help. That's when he asks Sarah and Duck if they could assist him in training Donkey to jump as high as he can.

At first, Sarah and Duck are a bit hesitant. They've never trained a donkey before, and they're not sure how to approach the task. But Mr. N is persuasive, and he promises that they'll have lots of fun, and that Donkey is a fast learner. So, Sarah and Duck decide to give it a try and join Mr. N and Donkey on their training sessions.

The rest of the episode follows Sarah, Duck, Mr. N, and Donkey as they practice jumping over a series of hurdles and obstacles. Donkey is a bit clumsy at first, and he struggles to coordinate his legs and jump high enough. But with Sarah and Duck's help, he starts to improve, gaining confidence and enthusiasm. They use a variety of techniques, such as setting up smaller jumps and gradually increasing the difficulty, using treats and praise to reward Donkey's progress, and offering him good advice and tips.

As they practice, Sarah and Duck also get to learn more about donkeys and the competition world. Mr. N explains the rules, the judges, and the other participants. They meet some of the other animals training for the event, such as a goat named Gertie and a sheepdog named Shuggie, who are friendly and supportive. And they get to witness some impressive jumps and tricks from Donkey and the others, who are all talented in their unique ways.

As the day of the competition approaches, Sarah, Duck, and Mr. N become increasingly excited and invested in Donkey's performance. They continue to train hard and fine-tune their strategies, but also take some time to relax and enjoy each other's company. They go on walks, play games, and sing songs together, bonding over their shared love for nature and animals.

Finally, the big day arrives, and Sarah and Duck cheer Donkey on as he steps up to the starting line. The competition is fierce, and the other animals are great, but Donkey does his best and impresses everyone with his determination and courage. He jumps higher than ever before, and although he doesn't win the competition, he's proud of his accomplishment, as are Sarah, Duck, and Mr. N.

The episode ends with Sarah, Duck, and Donkey saying goodbye to Mr. N and the other animals, feeling happy and satisfied. They go back home, tired but content, and reflect on the fun and valuable experience they had. They realize that even though they faced a challenge that seemed daunting and unfamiliar at first, they were able to overcome it through teamwork, diligence, and kindness. And they're excited to see what other adventures await them in the wild and wonderful world of Sarah & Duck.
