Full Episode: Polar Bear, Season 3, Arabic (Iraqi), Kurdish (Kurmanji)
While Hadi is baking cookies, he gets all covered in white flour! Hadi then ventures into the neighborhood, trying to look for his baking tray - but when Jad sees Hadi all covered in flour, he doesn’t recognize him! Jad tells Basma he has just seen a polar bear in the garden. After Basma and Gargur (Grover) both see Hadi, they all run to ask for Salma’s help and realize they have made an assumption. Meanwhile, when Bulbul tries to help Hassoon and Reesheh rake leaves, they don't let him join because they assume he just wants to play. Later in the workshop, Salma shows us how to make a color wheel for a fun new way to paint flowers. The number of the day is 2!
