Wimzie's Hushabye

Wimzie comes upon Yaya's stuffed bird in the Bric-a-brac closet and is surprised when it starts talking to her. She's thrilled and wants to show everyone, but the bird clams up because it is too shy to speak in front of strangers. Later, in private, Wimzie begs him to just say one little thing to her friends. The bird says he'll try, but once on the spot, clams up again. Wimzie gets mad at the bird for not coming through for her and returns it to the closet. Later, Loulou discovers the bird in the closet and is willing to accept it on its own terms: it would rather be a private, special friend than a public one. Wimzie realizes she was wrong in not accepting something for what it is and makes a public apology to the stuffed bird. The others think she's gone off the deep end. But suddenly, the bird comes to her defense and speaks up, touched by Wimzie's apology.
