Addy is frustrated that her younger brother Carl will not share a new marble-maze game, so she calms herself with deep breathing and visits her neighbour Stillwater, a giant panda. He plays a Chinese flute, scoops leaves from his pond, and tells her the story of Master Chu, who keeps saving a scorpion from the river even after it stings her. Addy realises she should try a different approach with Carl, and instead of taking the game she offers to play it together with him. The two cooperate, steering the maze ball side by side, while Stillwater is heard trying something new of his own.
