Secret Scarves

Secret Scarves is an episode of the cartoon series Milly, Molly.

Summary
It's coming up to Christmas and the class are decorating the classroom. Milly and Molly are decorating the tree and have put only yellow tinsel on because yellow is both girls' favorite colour. Miss Blythe suggests more variety so they add red and blue tinsel (Milly suggests the red and Molly suggests the blue) to make stripes because they like stripes.

Then, the students take turns saying what they will do for Christmas. Molly is planning a big family lunch that "always takes too long" and hopes for a book of joke riddles as they make her laugh. Miss Blythe says everything makes Molly laugh. Milly wants to go to Antarctica and then Africa to visit gorillas and she wants a cookbook so that she can make Magic Muffins. Alf says that despite being too poor for anything fancy, his nan will make something nice for him. Humphrey, who doesn't share what he's doing, says that he wouldn't mind giving Alf a toy robot dinosaur he wants that apparently eats its own kind, but he'd have to play with it too, making his classmates laugh. Miss Blythe thinks that cannibalistic robot dinosaurs are too "violent" for Christmas and tells her class to think about what they will give.

Milly dashes home and asks to be taught how to knit because she wants to knit Molly a scarf for Christmas. Molly wonders what to give to Milly for Christmas and they go to the store to buy a cookbook but it's sold out and so is the funny riddle book that Molly wants and there are no other books that Milly likes. Meanwhile, Milly is knitting Molly's scarf. Molly goes to Farmer Heggardy's farm to look for a present. He suggests a pet but her dad doesn't want another cat and they don't have room for a goat, sheep, cow/bull, pig or horse and Marmalade (Milly's cat) is afraid of strange dogs.

The next day is Christmas Eve. Milly's scarf she is knitting is nearly done, Humphrey has found the dinosaur toy he wants but his mother says he needs to be a good boy and Alf's toy boat breaks so his grandmother promises him a new, unbreakable one. Molly decides to make a scarf too.

The next day is Christmas and everyone gets their presents and the parents give the girls their books.
