Plot
A chair appears and Po, Laa-Laa, Dipsy, and Tinky Winky have fun standing up and sitting down. The Magic Windmill starts to spin, and the Teletubbies watch Emily riding her pony Jester. Afterwards, they do the Round and Round Dance near the house. Then, the Windmill stops spinning and it's time for Tubby Bye-Bye.
Featuring: Emily & Nicole Kingman
Plot (US Version)
The Teletubbies listen to voice trumpet inside the Tubbytronic Superdome saying "Trot trot" and they join in. Then they watch a young girl named Emily looking after her pony Jester. A voice trumpet appears and recites the nursery rhyme "Ride a Cock Horse". Laa-Laa joins in the rhyme and then she bumps into Dipsy. She and Dipsy do this again and bump into Tinky Winky and Po who are also joining in. They all do the nursery rhyme again and fall over. The Magic Windmill spins and the Animal Parade appears in Teletubbyland. Laa-Laa decides to go for a happy walk. Tinky Winky and Dipsy decide to go too, but Laa-Laa doesn't know that. When Laa-Laa decides to do a happy dance, she finds Tinky Winky and Dipsy dancing with her. Po arrives on her scooter and decides to dance with them. What a happy day! Then, the Teletubbies do the Tip Toe Dance (shortened version) before Tubby Bye-Bye.
