Pingu Pretends to be Ill (also known as Pingu Fakes a Fever) is the fifth episode of the third season of Pingu.
Summary[]
Pingu wakes up feeling tired and reluctant to go to school. When Mother comes to check on him, Pingu pretends to be sick, and Mother decides to keep him at home for the day. She prepares a hot drink for him and places it on his bedside table with a thermometer. Pingu sticks the thermometer in the drink so that when Mother comes back, she thinks that he has a high fever. Mother calls the doctor, who examines Pingu before stepping outside to discuss the situation with her privately.
Curious about their conversation, Pingu peers through the keyhole and spots the doctor holding a large syringe. Pingu is rather worried by what this might mean and hides under the bed. As soon as Mother and the doctor re-enter, Pingu grabs his backpack and bolts out the door. Mother watches him flee, and the doctor, amused by the situation, explains that the syringe was merely a ploy to get Pingu to admit he was fine. Pingu arrives at school just as class begins.
