0:00:46 > 0:00:47- Hi, guys!- Hi!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- Hi!- Hi.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Mum, our school's doing a sponsored bike-a-thon for charity.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59We have to cycle around the park ten whole times.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Really?- It's going to be so much fun, isn't it, guys?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Yeah!
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Yes.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07A bike-a-thon!
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Check you guys out!
0:01:08 > 0:01:10That sounds like fun.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Mum, where's my gel pens?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I haven't seen them in a while, why?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20They're here on the chair, where you left them!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- My pens!- My back!
0:01:22 > 0:01:25So what do you need these for anyway?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We're going to make a super-duper colourful poster
0:01:28 > 0:01:29for our bike-a-thon.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Did you just say bike-a-thon?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Like, on a bicycle?
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- SAM:- We take our bicycles to Bramble Park and ride around and around.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43And we count our laps.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- BELLA:- Hopefully, our friends and adults donate money
0:01:49 > 0:01:52that we give to a children's charity.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Amazing!- Yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And on the day, we'll be whizzing past everyone
0:01:57 > 0:01:59who will be cheering for us.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And because we raised so much money for a good cause.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Oh, and save the world,
0:02:06 > 0:02:11then a real prince will come and give us a big, silver trophy.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Save the world, and royal princes?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17OK, maybe not royal princes,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19but it's still going to be fun!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23You know, I always fancied being a proper professional cyclist.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Wow, really?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Oh, yeah. I used to train every day,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30then the old knee started playing up, so I had to stop.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Now, he has more time to help me around the house.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Yeah, but I'm always around if you guys want some
0:02:37 > 0:02:39super top cycling tips.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Thanks, Dad. Come on, Bella.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44We've got some drawing to do.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49DOORBELL RINGS
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- FROM OUTSIDE:- Hello? It's Zainab.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54MUM: Come on, Mali, your gran's here.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57OK. Bye.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- See you, Mali.- See you.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- GIRLS:- Bye!- Bye!
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Don't you have anything to do for class?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13No.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Did you have a good day?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22OK. I'm going to cook your favourite home-made peanut chikkis.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Thanks.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Bike-a-thon sponsorship form?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Mr Carrot, what are we going to do?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Everyone is going to have so much fun
0:03:37 > 0:03:39riding around Bramble Park on their bikes,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43racing around and raising money for charity.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47It's just not fair!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Is Mali coming today?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55We knocked for him, but he said he wanted to play with his dinosaurs.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Oh, that's odd. Mali usually loves playing outside.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Maybe after practice we should go over to his house, check he's OK?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Great idea. Five times round Apple Tree Estate,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- see who gets the fastest time. You ready?- Yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Yeah.- On your marks, get set,
0:04:12 > 0:04:13go!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Come on, Sam!
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Hello, Sam.- Hello, Grandma Zainab.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29You look like a rock star!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Huh?- Cool hair.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Oh!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Is Mali still playing with his dinosaurs?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- I hope not.- Otherwise, I'm worried he may turn into one!
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Can you tell him that Bella and I wanted to show him our poster
0:04:44 > 0:04:45- for school?- Poster?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Yeah, we were told to design a poster for the bike-a-thon.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I'm sure Mali's so good at drawing his one will be amazing.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55OK. Mali?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Mali?! Do you want to come and see Sam's bike-a-thon poster?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- MALI: No, thank you.- Oh.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm sure he'll be interested.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Maybe later.- OK, bye.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Bye, Sam.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Mali? You didn't tell me about this bike-a-thon.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Cos I think it's silly, and I'd rather play with my dinosaurs.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32But what about all your friends who want to play with you?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33I just don't care!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42DAD HUMS A HAPPY TUNE
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Dad?- Yes, sweetie?- Mali's upset. I don't know why.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I just want him to come out and practice with us.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Maybe he...- He doesn't want to be my friend any more?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00No, no, no. It isn't that. He probably...
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Just prefers watching cartoons?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06No, Grandma Zainab told me he loves playing outside.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- It's because he doesn't have... - A bike?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I was going to say that!
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- So what shall we do, then?- When you were learning how to be a real
0:06:16 > 0:06:19cyclist, did you learn how to make a bike?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Oh, yeah. I might have a few things in the shed that might help.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27And I'm sure we'll be able to throw something together.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57# A friend in need's a friend indeed
0:06:57 > 0:07:01# To give our time is sometimes all they need
0:07:01 > 0:07:05# A helping hand goes a long, long way
0:07:07 > 0:07:10# To bring a smile to someone's face
0:07:10 > 0:07:15# Helping friends makes you feel so good
0:07:15 > 0:07:18# Helping friends makes you feel so good
0:07:19 > 0:07:23# Helping friends makes you feel so good
0:07:23 > 0:07:26# Helping friends makes you feel so good. #
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Mr Carrot, I can't do this.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35When you say it like that, I probably could.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37DOORBELL RINGS
0:07:37 > 0:07:38But I haven't got one.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- ZAINAB:- Mali?- I could pretend?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Come to the door!- You're right.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Wow, Mali, how cool is this?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Look, Mali, we made it especially for you!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51HONK!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54You can take part in the bike-a-thon with everyone else.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Aren't you lucky?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I'm really sorry.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Leave this with me.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05There's more to this than meets the eye.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Mali? Sweetheart?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I think we need to talk.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16You need to tell me what's going on.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Why did you storm off like that just now?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's nothing, Grandma.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Nothing? But you seem so sad.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It's not like you to be like that with your friends,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27especially when they've come over
0:08:27 > 0:08:30with such a wonderful surprise for you.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I think you've left them quite confused.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Well...- If you're worried about something, Mali,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38it's good to share your feelings.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40The thing is, I can't join in,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43and everyone else will be having fun,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46and I'll be the only one just sitting there, watching,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48and I'll look silly.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49I see.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Well, I'm sure we can do something to fix that.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57But first, is there anything you want to say
0:08:57 > 0:08:59to your friends out there?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Sorry?- Yes.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04And thank you?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06That's right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Now, come on. Let's go and sort this out.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10OK.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Hello, you two. Someone has something to say to you both.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I'm really sorry I ran off earlier, guys.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Do you not like the colour? We can repaint it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27No, no, I love it!
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It's just...
0:09:30 > 0:09:32..I can't ride a bike.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38At my old house, there was nowhere to ride, so I never learnt.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42But I really want to be part of the bike-a-thon, but I can't be.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Why didn't you say before?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47My dad used to train to be a proper, professional cyclist.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Well, I...- Will you teach me?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Yeah, of course I will, big guy.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'll make you as good as me - maybe even better.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59You'll be cycling like a pro in no time!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Cycling like a pro?
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Yeah!
0:10:09 > 0:10:10CLICK!
0:10:11 > 0:10:12CLICK!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16How're you feeling, big man?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- BELLA:- Woohoo, come on!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Mali! Mali! Mali! Mali! Mali!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- You're doing good.- Go on, Mali. - You can do it!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28You're doing a good job. It's not easy, you know.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Yeah, we believe in you! - Come on. Back at 'em!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33MALI: Don't let go. Please, don't let go!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Kobi, don't let go.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40No! Catch me, I'm going to fall!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Woohoo! Come on, Mali!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I knew it. I just can't ride a bike.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48But you're having a go, and that's the main thing.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- BELLA:- You're doing really good. - SAM:- Come on!
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Come on, try again.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Yeah. You're doing it!
0:10:58 > 0:11:00MALI: Whoa!
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Seems like we have ourselves a challenge.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Thanks for trying, Kobi, but it
0:11:09 > 0:11:11won't work. I'm just too scared.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13You could try on a scooter!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16It's a bike-a-thon. It's only for bikes, so...
0:11:16 > 0:11:20I'm just too scared I'm going to fall off. But thanks anyway.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Hey, there's always a solution. Hm?
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Come on, let's get solving.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- TANNOY:- 'Welcome to our annual bike-a-thon charity ride
0:11:34 > 0:11:35'in Bramble Park.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39'This is the last call for all cyclists.'
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Where's Mali?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I don't know, but he'd better be here.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45It won't be enough fun without him.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Perhaps he's got cold feet.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Cold feet? He usually wears socks.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52No, no, no, it's just an expression.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57It means, sometimes, when someone's nervous they may change their mind.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Oh, look!- At the bird?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- No!- At the plane?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03No!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- It's Mali!- How do you stop this thing?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Steady, steady! - ZAINAB LAUGHS
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- BELLA:- Use the brakes!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- SAM:- Mali, you're here. And riding by yourself!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17That's amazing!
0:12:17 > 0:12:18But how?
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Gran took me to the park.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Do you know that little hill?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It's all soft grass.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29She took me to the top.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33And she told me to get on,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35and think about balancing and stuff
0:12:35 > 0:12:36as I rode down.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43And, then, I kept running to the top and riding down again.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46And, then, I started to pedal and steer...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50..and set off. And now I can ride...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54..and do the bike-a-thon!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Yay!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- TANNOY:- 'And if everyone's ready,
0:13:01 > 0:13:05'it's on your marks, get set, go!'
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Go, go, go, go, go!
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Go on!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Yes!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- SAM:- Wow, Mali, look at you!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19What did you say to Mali?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23I just told him to forget his fear of falling off,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and remember to have fun. That's all that matters.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Amazing!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30That's good advice.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- SAM:- Wow! We had so much fun, didn't we?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34MALI: Yeah, it was great.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Thanks for my lovely new bike.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38It's the best present ever!
0:13:38 > 0:13:42That's OK. Me and Dad had a great time building it for you.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44THEY LAUGH
0:13:44 > 0:13:46You're a good friend, Mali.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48And you're a great friend, Sam.
