The Story of the Record-Breaking Puffins 64 Zoo Lane

# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane... #

Hello! I'm Lucy.

I live at 64 Zoo Lane, and I have some very special neighbours. Look!

# There's one with a hump And one who can jump

# And one who is a little bit plump

# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

# Some like it hot And some like it chilly

# And some like it both ways and that's a bit silly

# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

# Some are friendly, some are scary

# But one thing is sure not one is ordinary

# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

# Some are spotty, some are stripy

# Or prickly and woolly and furry and slimy

# Some are quite big And some are very small

# And the last one's Georgina

# Who's incredibly tall

Bedtime, Lucy! >

OK, Mum.

GLASS RATTLES

STOPWATCH BEEPS

Weeh!

STOPWATCH BEEPS

Yeah! I did it!

Did what, Lucy?

I broke a record for the quickest time sliding down

from my bedroom to the zoo.

Ah! I thought you seemed in rather a hurry tonight.

I wonder what the record is for the most upside down swings from a tree.

BOTH: One, two, three, four...

GUNNER SQUAWKS

Sorry, Gunner.

GUNNER SQUAWKS

Giggles, Tickles, that's enough upside-down swinging for now.

We were only trying to break the record.

If you're into record-breaking, I have a story that may interest you.

Yes, please, Gunner.

Tell us!

ALL TALK AT ONCE

It all began one morning in Mossy Bay.

Puffins were about to play a game of football.

-The teams won't be even. We'll wait for Lewis.

-Where is Lewis?

-He's probably slept in again.

-Here he comes now.

-Sorry I'm late.

-Take the shortcut.

-Uh?

-Down the bank.

Geronimo! Whay!

Ooh! Ooh!

THEY LAUGH

Congratulations, you did it!

-Uh? I just slid down a bank.

-But you slid down in 7.2 seconds.

That's a world record.

You broke the record for the fastest slide down a mossy bank.

-Well done!

-Amazing!

-Nice one, bro!

I've never broken a record before.

Maybe instead of playing footy, we could try to break another record.

THEY CHEER

Meanwhile, further along the beach,

Hercule Moustache was beachcombing.

(FRENCH ACCENT) Oui, this will be perfect.

It will become part of my new creation,

the sculpture that will reflect the beauty of Mossy Bay.

Parfait!

This says to me, "Silence."

CHATTER

Huh? What are those crazy puffins up to now?

If you want to break the record for the longest seaweed chain,

we have to get organised.

You can do it. You're almost there!

Uh? What are you doing?

That's it! 50 lengths of seaweed! You've broken the record!

THEY CHEER

Zut alors!

How am I supposed to create the great art with all these distractions?

THEY SIGH

Sorry, we got a bit carried away.

But don't worry. We're off to break a different record now.

We won't bother you again.

Tres bien.

Perhaps I could use this seaweed in my sculpture.

Meanwhile, the puffins had started on the next record -

the most puffins doing a headstand on an iceberg.

Come on, Lewis. One more to break the record.

Actually, you should forget the record.

Your iceberg is melting.

No way! We're going to break this record.

Come on, Lewis. We can't stand on our heads much longer.

ALL: Come on, Lewis!

Why are they all standing on their heads?

Oh, no!

Four puffins doing a headstand on an iceberg.

You've got the record!

Now save yourselves!

-Uh-oh!

-Too late!

ALL: Ohhhh!

Are you youngsters all right up there?

Fine, thanks, Thelma.

We just broke a record.

If you want to break any more records, please go far away.

I can take no more distractions!

The puffins headed to the other side of the island.

What record can we break that won't upset Monsieur Moustache?

How about digging the longest tunnel made by puffins?

Nice one! It'll be beneath the ground so Monsieur Moustache

won't even see it!

What I've been trying to create,

in the three dimension, is an impression of life in Mossy Bay.

THELMA YAWNS

Fascinating(!)

If you'll excuse me, I have things I have to do.

Tres bien. I also must return to my art.

Meanwhile, the puffins' tunnel was progressing well.

GUNNER SQUAWKS

There's one thing that worries me, Gunner.

Er, I can't see where I'm going.

Not important. Just a little further and the record is yours.

THEY GROAN

Hmm. Not bad.

We are almost there, I think.

Huh? What is this sound from beneath the ground?

Made it!

Did we break the record?

I do not know about breaking any record

but you have broken my beautiful sculpture!

Oh, no! I must have taken a wrong turning!

For the last time! You must leave me in peace

or how can I create, s'il vous plait?!

No more record-breaking!

ALL: Sorry, Monsieur Moustache.

That's too bad.

You only had to break one more record to become

the puffins who've broken the most records.

ALL: Oh!

No way! That's one record we HAVE to break!

It'll be OK. We'll make sure we're miles away from Monsieur Moustache.

OK. Let's try the most puffins ever carried by one seagull.

Me first, Gunner.

GUNNER LAUGHS

Ooh! How exciting!

Eh voila! I shall call it Mossy Bassy.

Except there is something missing.

A certain je ne sais quoi.

What is it?

One more puffin to break the record.

Yeah, we did it! Four puffins carried by a seagull.

We've broke the record!

Gunner, can you take us on a quick tour of Mossy Bay?

GUNNER BREATHES HEAVILY

OK!

GUNNER SQUAWKS

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Hmm.

PUFFIN SNEEZES

Ahhhh!

Oh, no! I must hurry!

Whoahhhh!

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

A puffin on top is just what my sculpture needed!

Finally, it is finished.

Well done, Hercule.

You like my Mossy Bay scene?

Oh, yah, for sure.

But did you know you have broken a record, too?

Can it really be?

Yes! The record for the tallest sculpture featuring a puffin.

Magnifique! I have never broken a record before.

I thank you all!

THEY CHEER

Thanks for my story, Gunner.

I'm glad even Hercule broke a record in the end.

I wonder what Lucy's record is for falling asleep.

Whatever it is, I'm going to try and beat it.

LUCY YAWNS

ALL: Good night, Lucy!
