Hold Your Breath is the twenty-second episode in the Masha and the Bear Series
Summary[]
Bear meets his childhood friend Lady Bear while gathering berries one day in the forest. Well, really, she confronts him after he accidentally flicks a caterpillar onto her nose. She tells him off and storms away, but feels so bad about telling him off (due to looking at the glum monstrosity that she'd reduced Bear to) that she decides to arrange a date with him. Of course, he agrees to do it, but not before tidying the house and baking a pie. While he's preparing for the date ahead, Masha comes over and eats the huge strawberry on top of the pie, developing hiccups in the process (she only finds out after she says she'll go for a walk but the hiccups keep sending her back to the top of the book pile.) Bear tries everything humanely possible to get rid of the hiccups that Masha is suffering from; getting every single idea from an encyclopedia full of remedies. None of them work. Will Bear ever find a way to cure Masha's contagious hiccups (they spread to all the animals in the forest)? And will he be able to do it before Female Bear arrives while humming a tune?
