Hide and seek
Basil learns that out of sight doesn't mean out of mind
Basil and Percy are relaxing in the forest as the sun streams through the trees. Suddenly Percy sits up and suggests to Basil that he knows a fun game they should play – hide and seek. He explains to Basil how to play and they both agree Percy needs to hide on the forest floor to keep the game fair. While Basil is counting, Percy goes to hide. When Basil eventually finds Percy, Percy explains that, despite Basil not being able to see him, he was always there – just like Basil’s parents will always be with him too.
