.

Hey, Abadas!

ALL: Hello, Ben! Come and play with us and...

# We'll have a...

# Abadaba shoobedowah Abadaba play today!

# Abadaba shoobedowah Abadaba play today!

# Play today! #

Come and play with us.

I wonder where they are playing today.

They are in the garden.

-Roll up. Roll up. Come and try your luck.

-What are you playing?

-We are playing fairground.

-And this is my super throwing game.

-May I have a go?

-Of course. You can have three goes.

And if you knock down all the apples, you win a prize.

Here it goes!

ALL: Hooray!

-This game is fur-tastic.

-Second go now.

-Aba-baba-dee!

One more go and you will win the grand prize.

ELA LAUGHS

-I missed.

-Hmmm. Never mind.

I think you deserve a prize for trying, Ela.

Ta-da!

Wow! What a great prize! Thanks, Hari.

It's fun playing fairground but I have another game for you now.

It's your favourite.

ALL: It's the word game. Come and play with us.

# You opened up the book and found us three!

# It's time to play the word game You and me!

# Listen to the word then spot and see

# Match the words and objects Help us three!

# Let's play! #

Ready? I have got a brand-new Abada word.

You have to guess what it looks like. The word is coconut.

-Coconut.

-Coconut.

-What a funny word!

-I wonder what it does.

-Would you like a clue?

ALL: Yes, please, Ben.

A coconut grows in hot, sunny places.

Goody. I love snoozing in the sun.

-Would you like another clue?

-ALL: Yes.

A coconut has a rough shell, but you can eat it.

There must be something really yummy inside.

You will have to wait and see.

So where do you think you will find a coconut?

-In the house.

-There are lots of things to eat in the house.

You can find a coconut in the house but that is not where it grows.

Maybe it is high up in the sky.

I have not seen anything growing in the sky.

Maybe it's at the seaside. It's often hot and sunny there.

Good guess, Hari. The seaside is a great place to find a coconut.

ALL: Yeah. Go, go, Abadas.

The Abadas think they will find a coconut at the seaside.

Which Abada will be the best one to find a coconut?

# My name is Seren I can fly up high

# Up past the trees and towards the sky

# I hang topsy-turvy in the night and day

# Fly right down when it's time to play!

# My name is Hari, I like to swim

# I dive down deep, I see everything

# That lives in the seabed

# Or on the shore!

# Swimming and playing is what I adore!

# My name is Ela with a special nose

# Where it will lead me, nobody knows

# I can smell all the things that you can't always see!

# I love my nose, it's a part of me

# Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way! Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way!

# Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way! Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way! #

-Hari should go.

-Me?

Yes. You love being at the seaside.

Good choice, Abadas Hari knows the seaside very well.

He is the best Abada to find the coconut.

With a dash and a bump, look at me jump.

Here I am. Let's play.

Ooh!

Splash!

Hello.

Whee!

I am at the seaside!

Phew! It's very hot and sunny here.

What is that over there?

-This thing looks very rough and prickly.

-Careful, Hari.

-Ouch!

-Those are thorns, Hari.

It's a coconut. I have found it already.

-I bet it is good to eat, too.

-Careful, Hari. It isn't a coconut.

-It is a cactus.

-A cactus? What is that?

It's a plant that can grow in really dry places.

-And at the seaside.

-Yes.

Dum-de-dum-de-dum.

There is something else that has got a rough shell.

A rough, hairy tree that grows in a sunny place.

I know that trees are made out of wood,

but I am not sure if you can eat them or not.

-You might be able to eat one if you are a butterfly.

-A butterfly?

Some butterflies drink the tree's sap.

What is the sap of the tree?

Sap carries the tree food from the roots up to the leaves.

So you can eat it? A coconut. I have found it.

Not quite, but you are getting closer.

-Getting closer?

-Yes. Look.

-What are those?

-Why don't you shake the tree,

but be careful or something could fall on your head.

OK.

That one has broken open.

A rough shell on the outside, soft on the inside. It smells lovely.

-Can I eat it?

-Try a bit.

And you can drink it, too. It is a coconut!

Well done, Hari. The juice is called coconut milk.

I am sure Ela and Seren would like some of this.

# I found the word It was there all along

# The word is coconut and now that word is in my song

# Ba ba shooby-do-wah. #

Whee! Hello, Ben.

You'll never catch me. I am back in the book!

Well, Hari, did you find it? Did you?

Hear the tale of Hari and his seaside adventure.

-First, I found a fearsome cactus which had long, pointy...

-Thorns!

That's it, thorns!

They were very ouchy.

-What did you find next?

-A prickly, shaggy tree.

-Did you climb it?

-I can't climb trees.

THEY LAUGH

The tree wasn't the coconut, but it had a coconut on it.

Wow!

Here they are.

Careful. Coconuts are heavy.

One, two.

Is it OK to eat?

Yes!

You can drink it, too.

That's the coconut milk. Coconuts are yummy.

-And they're good for you.

-Wait a minute. These coconuts look perfect.

Watch out, everyone.

ALL: Hooray!

Well done, Ela. You really are amazing, Abadas.

It is time for me to go now. We had fun today, didn't we?

ALL: Yes, we did!

# Time to say goodbye it was great to play

# Shooby-dooby-dooby bop-bop Shooby-dooby-dooby bop-bop

# Come back and see us once again some day

# Abadas, Abadas, some day. #

-Goodbye, Hari.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Seren.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Ela.

-Bye-bye.

-See you soon.

Ben! >
