0:01:08 > 0:01:12Bedtime, Lucy! >

0:01:12 > 0:01:15OK, Mum.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29TAPPING

0:01:35 > 0:01:38- ALL: Hi, Lucy!- Hi, everyone!

0:01:38 > 0:01:42Like the nose? Yeah, very funny.

0:01:42 > 0:01:47- What about my nose? - Are you cold, dear?- No.

0:01:47 > 0:01:53- Only, that's the reason people usually have blue noses.- BLUE? Oh.

0:01:54 > 0:02:00..Oh! We were painting in school today. I must've got paint on my...

0:02:00 > 0:02:02On my nose!

0:02:02 > 0:02:06..There. Is it gone now?

0:02:06 > 0:02:08All gone.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Pity. I preferred it blue. Yes!

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Would've been nice with yellow ears.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20Now, quiet, you two. I think it's time we had a story.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24All that talk about paint reminds me of Phoebe the koala.

0:02:24 > 0:02:29Oh, yes. The little bear who lived in Australia.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34- Oh, great! It's ages since we had an Australian story!- DO tell.

0:02:34 > 0:02:39- Your Australian accent is good. - Don't tease me, Nelson.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Very well. Ahem...

0:02:41 > 0:02:45NELSON STRAINS

0:02:45 > 0:02:48This is the story of Phoebe the koala. >

0:02:48 > 0:02:53Phoebe the koala wasn't in a good mood.

0:02:53 > 0:02:59All summer, she and her friends Joey and Jimmy had been playing games.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04The only trouble was, Phoebe hadn't won any of them.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Not one.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11- Oh...- She didn't seem to be the best at anything.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Come on, Phoebe, we're ready! It's exciting. Wait till you see!

0:03:17 > 0:03:22Watch this, Phoebe! We're having a diving contest.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28- It's my go first.- Oh...

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Go, Jimmy!

0:03:37 > 0:03:42- Oh...- What a lovely dive! Yes. Perfect, I'd say.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45A kangaroo doing three rotations?!

0:03:45 > 0:03:50Poor Phoebe already had butterflies in her tummy.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53But next to go was Joey.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Not bad. I blinked. Was it good?

0:04:07 > 0:04:09G'DIVE!

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Now it was Phoebe's turn.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17SHE GROANS Come on, Phoebe. Go for it!

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Oi! Do you mind?

0:04:26 > 0:04:29THEY LAUGH

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Phoebe wasn't very good at diving.

0:04:37 > 0:04:42In fact, she decided not to take part in any more silly competitions.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45But then Joey had an idea.

0:04:45 > 0:04:51- Let's have a race to the top of that gum tree!- Yeah!

0:04:51 > 0:04:58Now, Phoebe was pretty certain she was the best at climbing trees.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02The winner is the first one to touch the top of the tree!

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Ready... Steady... Go!

0:05:24 > 0:05:27The winner is Joey!

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Second place to Jimmy.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34- What happened?- We beat you!

0:05:34 > 0:05:37But how? You must've cheated.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40You're just a bad loser!

0:05:40 > 0:05:43LAUGHTER

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Phoebe wished she could've been the best at something.

0:05:47 > 0:05:53She didn't really mind what it was, so long as she was the best at it.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Oh...

0:05:55 > 0:05:59SINGING

0:05:59 > 0:06:03I need another painting twig.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05A small one, for doing details.

0:06:05 > 0:06:11- Will you guard the picture while I go and look?- ..OK.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Hey! That's fantastic, Phoebe!

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Why didn't you tell us you were a brilliant artist?

0:06:53 > 0:06:59- I...- You ARE the best at something. I wish- I- could paint like that!

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Well...it's not so hard, once you know how.

0:07:03 > 0:07:09Phoebe knew it was wrong to pretend it was hers, but couldn't own up.

0:07:09 > 0:07:16The hard part is choosing the colours, and finding a good subject.

0:07:16 > 0:07:21- Do another painting, Phoebe. - Um... OK.- While we watch.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Yeah. A portrait of me and Jimmy.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27You could paint us bouncing. Like this!

0:07:27 > 0:07:31LAUGHTER

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Whoa... Hey!

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Of course I'll paint your pictures.

0:07:36 > 0:07:42..But I'll, um, have to think about it first. What colours to use...

0:07:42 > 0:07:46- and...- Fine! Just let us know when you're ready.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51Poor Phoebe had got herself into a right pickle.

0:07:51 > 0:07:56SHE SIGHS Want me to teach you how to paint?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58You couldn't.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01I'm useless at everything.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04I'm a good teacher.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Could YOU teach ME to paint like you?

0:08:08 > 0:08:12No. Everyone has their own style,

0:08:12 > 0:08:16it's just a question of finding it.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19I...could give it a try...I suppose.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Oh...

0:08:33 > 0:08:38Never mind, Phoebe. Try something else.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54It's not very good, is it?

0:08:54 > 0:08:59Oh, don't worry, Phoebe. These things take time.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Everyone knows I'm the worst at everything.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05No good at diving...

0:09:05 > 0:09:10no good at racing to the top of the gum tree,

0:09:10 > 0:09:12and now no good at painting.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Amazing!- You didn't say you were starting another picture.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Huh?

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Phoebe has her own style.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26She calls it dot painting.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Do I? ..Oh, I mean, yeah! That's what I call it.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35- HE LAUGHS - But I haven't finished yet.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Good, isn't she? The best!

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Always said she had talent.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Hey! Wanna help? - BOTH: Who? Us?

0:09:46 > 0:09:51- We don't know how to paint. - Step into the mud and get hopping.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53I'll show you how it's done.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Nice one, Phoebe!

0:10:03 > 0:10:06EVERYONE LAUGHS

0:10:09 > 0:10:14It wasn't Phoebe who put that blue paint on your nose, was it?

0:10:14 > 0:10:20No, silly. I've never been to Australia...though I'd like to.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Maybe one day, dear.

0:10:23 > 0:10:28- But I think for now the only place YOU should visit is bed.- I s'pose so.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33- Thanks for the story, Molly. - That's OK. Goodnight, Lucy.

0:10:33 > 0:10:38- Goodnight, everyone. - ALL: Goodnight, Lucy.
