THEY WHISTLE

Hello, Samuel.

Udy!

Hi, Rudy!

THEY WHISTLE

Let the picnic begin!

Hooray!

Hold on.

I don't want to have just any picnic.

I want to have the perfect picnic.

BOTH: Perfect?

Everything has to be just right.

# How do you make the perfect picnic?

# It isn't easy but it can be done

# First we'll organise

# All of our supplies

# Then put them in the basket one by one

What fun.

# Rudy, concentrate

# And polish up this plate

# It's possible I may have missed a spot

# Muffin, fold our blanket But be careful not to yank it

# Samuel, there's something you forgot... #

What?

# Yes, you've almost made the perfect picnic

# With plates and blankets But it's not complete... #

-It's not?

-# It would be a slick trick

# To make the perfect picnic

# When you haven't brought a thing to eat! #

What do you mean?

Udy mean...

# Where da food? #

SAMUEL WHISTLES

Oh, no!

How could I forget the food?

We can't have a picnic without food!

You were thinking with your brain.

You've got to think with your stomach.

Where are we going to get food for our perfect picnic?

Sam'l, Muffin get food.

Hmm, I don't know, Muffin.

Please.

All right, Sis.

You can get the food for our picnic.

Just make sure to bring lots of food.

I'm hungry.

And remember, Muffin...

-everything has to be...

-..perfect.

Muffin know.

Here we are! Fruit Branch Park.

Muffin, did you get all the food?

Muffin get.

Yummy food in basket.

SHE WHISTLES

It's picnic time!

No, Rudy. Not here.

This spot won't do.

We need a spot that's beautiful and sunny.

Here we go again.

We need to find the perfect place for our picnic.

Come on. Hup, two, three, four.

# March, march, march

# Keep up the pace

# Yes, we will march until we find the perfect place. #

THEY WHISTLE

Hello, children.

Hi, Mrs Billingsley.

# Here's a lovely branch

# Where blueberries are growing

# I'm afraid there's too much shade We've got to keep going. #

-Argh!

-Bye, Mrs Bigsley!

Billingsley.

ALL: # March, march, march

# Give it all you've got

ALL: # Yes, we will march until we find the perfect spot

-ALL: # March, march, march

-March until we drop

# Samuel, I've had enough I think it's time we stopped. #

This is it!

Sunny. Beautiful. Perfect.

Spacey.

Muffin, Rudy, let's have our picnic.

At last.

What food did you bring, Muffin?

Muffin show.

Drum roll, please.

DRUM ROLL

I'm so hungry.

I wonder what food Muffin brought?

Carrots.

Sandwiches.

Pies.

Seed.

Mmmmm.

Muffin, you only brought one seed?

Sam'l, Muffin no bring one seed.

Muffin bring two seed!

Two seeds?!

-That's all?!

-Yes.

That's not enough for all of us!

Oh! Sam'l, Udy want food too?

Arrrgghh!

Our picnic is ruined!

Ruined!

Don't worry, Samuel.

There's got to be someone on 3rd & Bird who can help us.

-Bigsley.

-Perfect!

-Mrs Billingsley.

-Hello, children. What's the matter, eh?

We tried to have the perfect picnic, Mrs Billingsley.

But we didn't bring enough food.

MUFFIN HICCUPS

Hmm, no food, eh?

We'll never have a picnic now.

Oh, Samuel, cheer up.

The answer to your problem is right under your beak.

What do you mean, Mrs Billingsley?

Just look around you.

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

# The moss is green

# It's a perfect day for picnic dining

# And fresh fruit grows on the trees

# So cheer up

# Life is good

# As sweet as an apple or a cherry

-A cherry?

-# It has such a lovely taste

# There isn't time to waste Make haste, pick fruit, be merry... #

But, Mrs Billingsley...

# If you need a pick-me-up Why not pick a plum?

# You'll start feeling better right away

# So cheer up

# Right before you Well within your reach

-Pick some fruit

# You really should

ALL: # Life is good! #

Well, I'll be on my way.

But, Mrs Billingsley,

what does picking fruit have to do with our picnic?

I'm sure you'll figure it out, dear. Have fun!

All we have to do is pick some fruit.
