The Butterfly is the seventh episode of the first season.
Plot[]
Kipper is playing at the park with Pink Hippo and he sees a blue butterfly, he decides to chase it and he wants to try and catch it. Later, he sees Pig is licking some ice cream and when the butterfly lands on Pig’s ice cream, he tries to catch the butterfly. However Pig, thinking he’s trying to get his ice cream, moves it away from him. As Kipper tries to catch the butterfly, he climbs up a fence and falls down, which he ends up having a pair of purple flowers on his head, with bees flying at the flower on his head, causing him to run away. Then he tries to catch it again as it lands on a balloon hanging onto a stroller with an infant inside. But he ends up popping the balloon. After several more tries, he gains an idea, He gets the popped balloon, the flower, and asks Pig what color his ice cream was (because Pig has now eaten the purple bit around the outside of the ice cream), so he asks Pig to show him his tongue. After Kipper finds out the color the butterfly likes, he goes home leaving Pig to look at his tongue in confusion. He then tries to paint two colors that make purple on a sheet of paper. After two failed attempts at making purple, he finds out that red and blue make purple. So, he paints the entire paper purple, and he forms it into a cone and he puts it on Pig so the butterfly will land on it, and it works. Then, Kipper asks Pig to get him a jar to trap the butterfly in. As he and Pig observe the butterfly, he notices that the butterfly wants to get it. He asks Pig to get him some twigs and grass, but the butterfly doesn’t like them. Him and Pig decide it’s for the best to release it. As they watch it fly away, Kipper asks Pig if he knows how to make purple, which Pig replies with “Oh, it’s easy! Blue and green.” Kipper then corrects him saying it’s blue and red. As he and Pig walk off, Kipper starts thinking what blue and green make, as the butterfly sits on top of Hippo.

- During the part where Kipper looks down between his legs at the butterfly flying away, his eyes are now located on the white part of his fur, normally they should be on the orange part of his fur. This was fixed in a later episode, “The Ball”.
- Blue and Green don't make the color Purple, they make Turquoise.
- Yellow is a primary color that can't be made along with Blue and Red.
