Hello pandas!

Have you ever wondered what that big area of blue water is on the Panfu map?

The huge lake, which is a turquoise blue in the middle of the unexplored depths of the jungle, is a cause of great mystery. No panda has been there yet. Well, we did our own research on the mystery lake in the library after we finished our homework.

It is not totally true that nobody has ever seen the lake (otherwise it would not be drawn on the map!) We found a book in the library whose title is “The dark side of Panfu or how I discovered the great lake” written by a scientist named Hugo Häaberlein Stanley (nephew of a famous explorer of Africa)

I always wanted to be an explorer to discover unknown places and animals! We read the whole book and then I prepared everything that an explorer needs: a compass, a document bag, a thermos bottle filled with lemonade tea!

Not so fast Max, we must first tell our readers what we found in the book!

Oh yeah, that’s right! (Blush) 

Many, many years ago the explorer called Hugo Häaberlein Stanley, set off to explore the jungle. All his friends told him that the jungle is a dangerous place and there was nothing interesting there.

Hugo said, “I will discover something that nobody has ever seen!” With that, he set off with his explorer hat, pruning shears to cut the long jungle vines and a box of candy, in case he got hungry on the way.

After 3 weeks, 6 days and about 14 hours of exploration, he not only had 134 mosquito bites and 46 blisters on his paws but he had discovered a huge and beautiful lake on which the sun shone glitters of light!

He took his first bath in 3 weeks, 6 days and about 18 hours in the crystal clear waters of the lake. (A fish apparently bit his toe too!) Then he settled down to sun bathe and dry off his fur in the warm sun.

He then returned to the civilization of Panfu city and told the other pandas about his discovery. Foolishly, Hugo had not drawn a map of the lake so it was very difficult to find it again so no one was very interested in his discovery. It’s also the reason why the lake is not names after Hugo Häberlein Stanley.

Perhaps you have some name suggestions for the lake?

Until next time,

Last night we were a little bored so we thought we’d go see what Prof. Bookworm was up to.

- We sometimes like to surprise him with a visit.

- Although we always take something for him to eat, as we know he doesn’t look after himself well when he’s caught up in his research!

- So we packed a little basket of strawberry rhubarb cake and a couple of bottles of lemonade and set of for the cave under the jungle.

It was quite dark by the time we got there and always a little spook to go down there but at least we were together!

When we approached the cave we could hear some strange noises that didn’t sound familiar. As we walked down the stairs and got closer to the Professor’s laboratory, the noises got louder!

The door to the laboratory was open ad we were able to see the Professor standing at his workbench with some strange looking machine. Behind him in the corner were… musical instruments! Guitar, Drum kit…

- How strange! We didn’t know that the Professor was a musician. – Although the sounds that were coming out of the machine didn’t sound very musical! 

We were just about to enter the Lab when the Professor saw us and quickly shut the door in our faces! How mysterious! What is the professor up to now?

Are the strange noises that were coming out of that machine something he is building for Panfu? Stay tuned!

Until next time! 

Hello curious pandas!

The word in the Panfu headquarters is that the construction of the new city will be completed soon! We have tried to tell you everything we know about this story but unfortunately we don’t know much because the site is guarded.

Yesterday, I went on my own. Well, I was a little scared, but Max always calls me a “scaredy cat” and I wanted to show him that I am brave! – Jaaaaaa, Ella, like you’ll ever be as brave as me!

Anyway, Max was playing on the computer with his friend and I was bored (they wouldn’t let me have a go) so I thought this would be a perfect time to go explore the new site.

When I arrived there, everything was very still and all the construction workers had gone home. The buildings which are almost finished, looked really scary in the dark.

I thought that maybe a blueprint of the construction plans might shed some light on what is happening here.

So I took out my flashlight and started investigating. There was a lot of construction equipment, nails, saws, hammers and so on but no blue print maps.

Suddenly I found something lying on the floor that certainly did not belong there….. a lipstick!!!

Surely the construction men don’t wear it!

I was studying it closely when I suddenly heard some voices of a few construction workers. They mustn’t see me there because even reporters are forbidden to go in the secret city yet! So I had to leave quietly and quickly before I could investigate anymore.

That was really brave, I must really say, Ella! But the next time we go back together, ok?

Well, we will soon find out what is going on in the new, mysterious city!

Keep your ears stiff, pandas!

Hi pandas! 

For some time we have been confused as to what is being built in the jungle where the strange meteorite (which actually was our alien friends Nui & Trawui in their spaceship) crashed.
Why do we see a jackhammer here? Who drills the hole and works in the big hole? These are the questions you may have been asking.     Has Prof. Bookworm dropped his glasses inside the crater? Or have they discovered a new species of ladybug? Is there a secret cave in which cave bear lives? 

Sadly we must admit that we do not know ourselves (and we usually know everything that happens in Panfu)!

But sometimes these things do happen. But one thing is for sure, once we find out exactly what it is, we will definitely let you know! We also know that what ever is being built down there, will certainly be exciting!


See you soon! 
Your team Panfu

Pandas Hello!

The long wait has come to an end! The next catalogue has been printed and delivered in Panfu.

Perhaps the front page shown here will give you a clue as to what the new catalogue is for! 

That’s the only hint we’ll give you! Keep your eyes peeled for the new catalogue!

Your mysterious Panfu team!
