Beachball Waussie’s Lost Air Stopper

I’m Beachball Waussie
Racing through the town –
Lost my stopper in a game
Whoops! I’m going down!

Beachball Waussie’s air escapes after he loses his air stopper. Icecream Waussie can hear the Hisssss. She offers to carry Beachball Waussie in her basket, because he’s getting so small and must be very tired. Together they go in search of a new stopper. They meet Boomerang Waussie, who finds an air pump and pumps him up. “But now what? How will we keep the air inside?” he asks Icecream Waussie. She tells him to fly over and plug the hole with his finger. Then Icecream Waussie suggests that they go and ask the dentist for a filling!

When they arrive at the dentist’s clinic, Hiccup Waussie and Ant are waiting there. Hiccup Waussie’s head is bandaged. When Icecream Waussie asks Ant why Hiccup Waussie’s head is bandaged, Ant grins and explains, “He swallowed his tooth. I told him, ‘If you can hiccup it in, then you can certainly hiccup it out.’”

The dentist solves the two problems at once. He instructs Boomerang Waussie to “Get ready to catch when I shout NOW!” He pulls off Hiccup Waussie’s bandage; Hiccup Waussie spins around and around, gives an enormous HICCUP and the tooth flies out. Boomerang Waussie catches it – and plugs up the hole in Beachball Waussie’s head.
