Soon there will be a street parade in Pep's village. He starts work on his float, splashing paint all over it in a vigorous frenzy.
Oh, dear... All that energy and Pep overturns the buckets of paint. They spill out everywhere, mixing up in one big mess.
But when pep looks again, he likes how the paints have mixed and realises that it isn't a giant mess after all. The paint on the wall swirls in beautiful blue green and red orange.
Now he has an idea, and he hurries around mixing up new colours, ready to paint again.
He starts by painting all the furniture in his house. He creates a purple lamp and an orange phone.
When he looks outside, Pep sees that the whole village is built in boring tones of white and brown.
So he is convinced he can fix that. So he goes to work creating a red hut here... ...and a sunny yellow roof over there.
The other animals in the village do not react well to Pep's experiments with paint.
The kangaroo tells him to stop, but Pep keeps on painting, covering her door with a coat of purple.
And soon enough, they have had enough. They chase Pep away. He dashes up the hill, leaving coloured prints up the path.
He stops at the top, and they catch him. 'Just turn and look behind you,' Pep says with a laugh.
Sure enough, the whole village is bright with Pep's mixed paints. It looks so festive, and now it is ready for the big street parade.
