Koyaa – Trippy Trashcan
Koyaa is painting a wooden chair. He notices he got some of the blue paint on the trashcan, too. He tries wiping the stain but that just smears it around, so he decides to paint the whole can blue instead. The can resists, rolling off on its little wheels, racing and chomping, as it goes, on the newspaper Mr Raven was using to build his birdhouse. Koyaa needs a clever way to catch it!
