0:00:49 > 0:00:50- Hi.- Good morning.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53How are you this bright and beautiful day?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Good, thanks. Where's Mum and Dad?
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Your mum's just gone to the supermarket and your dad's at work.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Sit yourself down and I'll get you your cereal.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I don't want it, it's for babies.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10What?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I can't see an age limit on the box.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I thought it was your favourite.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Not any more, I want something else today.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20OK. What would you like?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- What did Dad have?- Erm...
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Beans and toast.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- There's some left, would you like some?- Yes, please.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33You know, it's such a lovely day,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37I thought we could go to the play area after breakfast.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39No, thank you.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44Well, how about a treasure trail in the park?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46No, it's OK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Maybe you're tired.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52We can stay at home and read your new book from the library.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I just want to do grown-up stuff today.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Hm. What kind of grown-up stuff?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01You know, like my dad does.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14It must be amazing working at the zoo like my dad.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26My dear man, I must congratulate you on your splendid work at the zoo.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I want to give you a very special, very grown-up new job.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33From now on you will be our resident super-archaeological,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36palaeological universal explorer.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Where's Mr Carrot?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Has he fallen down by the side of your bed again?- Don't know.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I can go fish him out if you can't reach.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I don't care where Mr Carrot is.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- You don't care?- No.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58That's not like you.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Please find me some grown-up things to do today.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04What kind of grown-up things?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08I want to have proper grown-up adventures.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Grown-up activities.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Yes, please.- I wonder what they can be.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Do you think I'm a good example of a grown-up?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20You're one of the best.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Great. So let's give you one of my tasks.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Really?- You can start with the super-duper task that I take
0:03:28 > 0:03:30particular pride in.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Peeling potatoes.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Oh.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Does my dad ever peel potatoes?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Your dad has been known to peel vegetables from time to time.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47OK, I'll give it a try.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I knew you'd be pleased.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Well done on accepting your new mission.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Now, take this gadget, it will help you on your adventures.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12And you'll also need this marvellous universally compatible jet pack.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Thanks, big zoo boss.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16RUMBLING
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Oh, no! Look out!
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Wow, amazing.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Hurrah!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30How are you getting on with peeling that potato, Mali?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Done it.- Marvellous.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Time to do the rest.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38And throw in some carrots, too.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39What?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47How did you enjoy that grown-up activity, Mali?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Didn't like it, Gran. Can you find me something else to do?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Oh. Well, maybe we could do something outside.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Yeah, outside!- Come on.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Cleaning the front room window.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- What?- Your dad's been meaning to clean out here for ages.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Wouldn't it be great if you did it and surprised him?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- What do you think?- Uh, OK, then.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21HE SIGHS
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Cleaning the windows.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26This is not what I expected to do on a grown-up day.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I can't believe Gran thinks I'll like this.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Urgh, that's one messy spaceship!
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Three, two, one,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50liftoff.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58This window is gleaming, Mali.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well done.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Thanks, Gran.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06As you've done the first window so well, you can clean the rest.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Come to think of it, the front door could do with your magic touch, too.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I think we've found a grown-up task that you enjoy now.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Hello, Kobi.- Hey, guys, how you doing?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Good.- You're doing a great job on those windows.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And he seems to be enjoying it, too.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Well, maybe next week you can help me
0:06:26 > 0:06:28with my monthly clean of the estate.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33I scrub everything from top to bottom until it's gleaming.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35No, it's OK.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Oh, well.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Come round and play with Sam after?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Nah, I'm busy.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Oh, well, I... I'd better let you get on with it then.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46- See you later.- Bye.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Oh, you've done such a good job of the cleaning.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Did you have fun?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Not really.- Oh.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Well, maybe you'll prefer the next activity I have in mind.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04We are going on a trip.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Are we going to see the Reds play football?- No.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Taking the city bus to the park?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14No, something much more grown-up than that.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Wow!- We are going to the launderette.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Ta-da.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23The washing machine's broken again,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26and as we're having such a grown-up day,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28we can do the laundry together.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29OK.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46This grown-up day's not what I expected.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50I can't believe Grandma thinks doing the laundry's fun.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I'm sure astronauts don't have to deal with smelly socks.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Mali. Mali!
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- Mali.- Hm?- It's time to take the washing home.- OK.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Come on.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32I've got it...
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Gran, I don't like doing the laundry either.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Really?
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Sorry about that.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Well, maybe it's not all fun and games to be a grown-up.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52There are chores to do and errands to run.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57And none of the grown-ups I know have much time to play with toys.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Why don't you take a break?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- OK.- And I'll put these clothes away.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Mali, can you come into your room, please?
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Look who I found.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30He was stuffed in a shoe at the back of the wardrobe.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Any idea how he got there?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Well, I didn't want to play with him any more.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43Does this have something to do with you wanting to be more grown-up?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45But you love Mr Carrot.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Only yesterday you were so happy to take him to school.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Ah. Mr Carrot went to school.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- What happened?- Well...
0:09:54 > 0:09:57You know I took Mr Carrot with me?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Nobody said anything at school.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I thought it was lots of fun.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04But when we came home...
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Jo started teasing me and calling me names.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Na-na-na-na-na. You're a baby!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13So, Jo teased you?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17And said you were babyish for bringing Mr Carrot to school?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Yes, it made me very sad.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Well, it was wrong of Jo to tease.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Maybe she doesn't understand how important Mr Carrot is to you.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29You could try and explain that to her.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Hm... OK.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Plus, you don't need to pretend something isn't important to you
0:10:35 > 0:10:37when it is.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41I thought grown-up stuff would be fun, but it really wasn't.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Well, maybe you're not quite ready to be a grown-up yet.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I missed Mr Carrot.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55You do so many chores, I'm going to help you out more now.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57That would be wonderful.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59But first, can we go out and play?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Ha-ha! Of course we can.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Look, there's Jo.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12She looks upset.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Why don't you go and ask her what the matter is?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- I don't think I should. - Go on.- Hey, Jo, what's the matter?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21My ball is stuck up in the tree.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23That's your favourite, isn't it?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Yeah.- Maybe we can get it down.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29How? It's so high up.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33OK. Let's get solving.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Mali, what do you think a grown-up might do in a situation like this?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48A super-archaeological palaeological universal explorer
0:11:48 > 0:11:51would just zoom up to the top of the tree
0:11:51 > 0:11:52with his jet pack.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57And throw the ball out of the branches.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01But I'm just a boy so I can't do that.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03But I think I know what might help.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Come on. We'll be back soon, Jo.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Kobi, Kobi, it's Mali and Grandma Zainab.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Come in.- Can we borrow your apple tree stick?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Yes... Oh, no, that's definitely a job for Kobi. We'll get that sorted.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Right then. Just one second.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Thank you.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Right. There we go.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Got it.- There we are, Jo.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46My ball! Thanks, Kobi.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It was Mali that thought of using the apple shaking stick.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Thanks, Mali.- It's OK, Jo.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- I'm sorry I teased you about your toy the other day.- It's OK.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Mr Carrot's my favourite toy in the whole world.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Just like my ball. Want to play? - Yeah, come with me.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Hang on, wait for me. Hold that, Grandma Zainab.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- SAM:- Well done, Mali, it's great you helped Jo to get her ball back.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Thanks. I'm just happy she learned it was wrong to tease.- That's good.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- But did you learn anything?- Yeah!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I'm never going to hide Mr Carrot again.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Really?- And do you know what else?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- What?- It's not always fun being a grown-up.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I'm not in a hurry to be big any more.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35THEY LAUGH
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- You're a good friend, Mali. - And you're a great friend, Sam.
