# Hey, hey, hey, hey Help is on its way

# Call the Koala Brothers Call the Koala Brothers

# Call the Koala Brothers Call the Koala Brothers

# Help is on its way! #

You know, there was nothing Ned the little wombat liked more

on a hot outback day than one of Lolly's nice, cool ice creams.

There you go!

This day was really, really hot!

Wow, Ned. That's your third ice cream in 20 minutes.

Well, it is very hot.

You can say that again.

According to the weather forecast, it's going to get even hotter.

Well, then, I hope you've got plenty of ice creams.

I'll be back for more. See you later, Lolly.

Bye, Ned.

Hi, Frank. Hi, Buster. It's a scorcher!

-Yeah.

-Sure is! It's a bit too warm if you ask me.

The sun's getting high now. It'll soon be the hottest part of the day.

Have you seen Ned?

He went into town early.

Town?! Oh. I hope he doesn't stay out in this sun too long.

How are you getting along, Josie?

There! That's the lot.

Oh, well done, Josie. That should make them stop and look.

Look at what, Sammy? What are you doing?

Oh, morning, Ned.

We are just putting up a display of all our sun protection supplies.

Yes, we've got sun hats, bottles of water and sun cream.

We're gonna need them too, I reckon. They say it's gonna get even hotter.

I'm not worried. Lolly's ice creams are the best thing for keeping cool!

Keeping cool isn't the problem, Ned.

The problem is the sun's harmful rays.

Let me go and find you a hat.

Harmful rays?! They sound...

SCARY!

Oh, they are, Ned. They are. The sun is really hot...

Sammy? Could you give me a hand a second?

Oh, excuse me a minute, Ned.

Harmful rays?! Like from ray guns?

That's definitely scary!

There you are, Ned. This will help. Oh...

No sign of harmful rays yet.

Ned wasn't exactly sure what "harmful rays" were,

but they sounded really dangerous.

He didn't know what to do.

What would Frank and Buster do?

I know, they'd warn everybody to stay indoors.

Hey! I could do that.

Of course, I'll tell everybody to stay indoors

away from the harmful rays.

Never fear, Ned is here!

And I'm here to help!

Buckled up? Buckled up. Chocks away. Chocks away!

Nnniiieeeooowww!

Hey, Ned. Back for another ice cream?

No time, Lolly. I have to warn everyone about the harmful rays.

Oh, OK.

Nnniiieeeooowww!

But what harmful rays, Ned?

Aa-ha!

G'day, Ned!

It's not good, George.

It's not good at all.

The harmful rays are coming.

You have to get inside.

No time to explain, George!

You have to go indoors and stay there till I tell you.

But my deliveries. The mail.

It'll have to wait. The harmful rays could be here any minute.

Ooh, I suppose. If you put it like that.

I'll come back and tell you when it's safe.

Aah! Um...! Thanks, Ned.

Aah!

Nnniiieeeooowww!

Oh, good morning, Ned.

Don't get on that scooter, Alice.

It's too dangerous!

I don't understand. My scooter is dangerous?

No! It's the harmful rays!

They're on their way.

You must go inside until they're gone.

But I have to deliver these sandwiches to...

It doesn't matter!

You have to stay indoors or the harmful rays might get you.

I suppose a few minutes won't matter.

Thanks, Ned, for telling me about these...things.

Ooh!

Ha, ha! Morning, Mr Ned.

What a glorious sunny day! Ooh!

Quick, Archie.

You have to hide in the cafe until the harmful rays have gone.

Ah, ha! I'm afraid I don't follow.

It's very important that you stay inside.

Alice will explain and she's got some sandwiches.

Oh, well in that case.

Phew! This saving people from harmful rays is hard work!

I'm feeling really hot!

Would you like another glass of water, Mitzi?

I will in a minute, but these flowers need another drink first.

What about some more sun block, Mitzi? The sun's very strong.

Maybe you're right. It's easy to forget when you're busy.

Hey, do you think Ned's all right?

I thought he'd be back by now.

You know, I was just wondering the same thing.

It's getting hotter all the time.

I just hope he's remembered to wear a sun hat and drink lots of water.

I think we'd better go and look for him, Buster.

Good idea, Frank.

Ned had been working really hard to make sure everyone stayed indoors

away from the harmful rays.

In fact, the only person now who wasn't indoors was Ned!

There he is!

And standing under that hot sun, he was starting to feel a bit woozy.

It's all right, Ned. We're here to help!

Hi, Frank. Hi, Buster.

Are you OK, Ned? You're not wearing a sun hat.

And you don't have any sun block on.

I was just keeping people indoors because the harmful rays are coming.

You'd better get inside too!

Ned, when was the last time you drank some water?

No time for water. Too busy!

I'm feeling just a little bit...

I think we'd better get you home, Ned.

-Ned!

-Wake up, Ned.

He's gone a funny colour.

Aw, you had us a bit worried there, Ned.

You've got a little bit of sunstroke.

I was only trying to help. You know, like you do.

I wanted people to hide until the harmful rays had gone.

The harmful rays don't come and get people, Ned.

They're just there. They're just part of the sunshine.

They're what made you feel ill, Ned.

So, can't I ever go out in the sun again?

Of course you can, Ned. The sun's fine most of the time.

There's just those few rays that can be harmful if you're not careful.

The rules are really easy. When it's hot, all you have to do

is stay in the shade or wear a hat to keep the sun off your head.

-Wear sun block to protect your skin and face.

-And drink plenty of water.

Here! I've drawn you a picture so you won't forget!

Oh, thanks, Mitzi!

But you haven't drawn any ice creams.

Don't ice creams help at all?

Not really, Ned.

Oh.

But they can't do any harm.

That's all right, then. I love Lolly's ice creams!

Well, Ned. I think you can probably get up again now.

I'd stay in the shade for the rest of the day if I were you.

Don't worry, I will.

I'm feeling a lot better now.

Thanks for looking after me, everybody.

-That's OK, Ned.

-We're just glad to have you back on your feet.

< Hello? Anybody home?!

It's George.

George?! Oh, no! George!

I forgot all about him!

Sorry, Ned. I waited as long as I could.

I had to come out or no-one would have got their mail.

I told Alice and Archie they could probably come out too.

I hope you don't mind.

Not at all. Thanks, George.

Aw, look! Ned's going red again!

Ha-ha, ha, ha, ha-ha, ha!

I'm sorry, George.

I guess I really messed things up, didn't I?

You were trying to do the right thing and there's no harm done.

There's a nice cool drink here if you'd like it.

Oh, don't mind if I do.

Everyone felt proud of Ned for trying so hard to help.

Ned knew that as long as he had his friends around him, he'd remember

how to protect himself from those harmful rays in the future.
