The Broken Scooter Big and Small

# It doesn't matter if you're tiny or tall

# It doesn't matter if you're big or small

# If you want to have fun it doesn't matter at all

-# You've got it, Big!

-Why, thank you, Small!

-BOTH:

-# Skipping, flipping, climbing up a rope

# Hiding, riding, sliding down a slope

# Skating on an ice cube Swinging on a star

-# It makes no difference what size you are... #

-Nice!

# If you wanna have fun it doesn't matter at all

-# Cos here we are We're Big and Small. #

-Yeah!

Weeeeee! Ha-ha! Yeah! Wow!

Woah! Beautiful scooter, Ruby.

Yeah. Hey, can I try? Let me try.

Er, no! Sorry.

You'll break it, just like you break everything else of mine.

What are you talking about, Ruby?

My harmonica, broken by you.

My paintbrush, broken by you.

My unbreakable ruler...

OK, OK.

-How about Big ride your scooter?

-Huh?

-And then I'll ride on Big.

-Huh?

Big?! Ha-ha, come on.

He is much too big. He'll wreck it.

And besides, I've got to go.

Bye!

BOTH: Wow! What a great scooter.

BOTH: Oooohh...

I mean, how could I have thought my car

was the most fun thing ever?

Ruby's scooter is way funner.

Oh...I used to think playing the piano was fun.

But now that I've seen that scooter...

Nothing. It does nothing for me.

Yeah.

Hey.

-Hey, Big.

-Mmmm?

Do you see what I see?

I think so!

-We're talking about Ruby's scooter sitting all by itself, right?

-Right.

-Should we?

-We should, Small.

-Mmm.

Wow.

-Ooh!

-Ooh.

-Woo-hoo!

Oh, I love how it's all shiny.

Yeah, and the wheels.

-They're so round!

-Yeah.

Hey, Big. Do you really think that Ruby would mind if we, you know,

kind of rode it?

Yes, I do think she'd mind. Small, she said no.

OK! But what you're forgetting

is that we'd be really careful.

And we'd only ride it for a little bit.

I'll go and get the helmets. Woo!

Small! That doesn't make it OK. Small! Get off!

You see, Big, here's a thing. I'm doing Ruby a favour.

What? How?

What if there was something wrong with it

that Ruby didn't know, but I found out for her?

I don't know, Small.

You see, Big, look at this.

I'm checking to see if this scooter goes in circles.

And it does.

-Ooh! And now I'm going to do the blank test.

-Blank test?

-Woo, ha-ha!

-No, Small, don't. You're going to break it!

Yeee-haaaa!

Woah! OK. Nice one, Small.

Yeah! Ha!

Hey, did you see that, Big? I jumped a pumpkin.

Do you think I could jump two pumpkins?

Definitely not.

Although...

Oh. Well, maybe if you stack the pumpkins like this,

and you angle the ramp just like this,

and...

and then get a longer run-up at it... Hmmm...

-OK, let's have a go.

-Yeah, OK.

-Hang on.

-Excuse me. Right, OK.

I'll put my helmet on.

Hold on. OK.

Right, extend this like this...

Go, Big!

And weeeeeee!

Small, how do you stop it?

-Aaaahhhh!

-Wait, Big! Look out for the...

CRASH AND SPLASH

...pond. Oops.

Oooh, Big...

So...

Do you think she would notice?

I want to say no, Big,

but I'm going to have to go with yes.

What with her, you know, having eyes and that.

Oh, this is terrible.

Oh, what am I going to tell Ruby?

Oh, I know, I know!

Just say that... That a giant bird came down

a-and swooped up the scooter, and then it rode into the pond.

Which is almost exactly true, Big.

Except for the bird part.

Wait! I have a better idea.

A dinosaur?

Huh? No, no.

Who do you know, Small, who's very good at fixing things?

Um...

Twiba?

Oh, no, no. The frogs!

Er... Me, Small. Me.

-Me? Who's Me?

-No, me. Me.

Mimi? Who's Mimi?

Just say, "Oh, you, Big."

Oh, you, Big.

-Oh! You, Big!

-Yeah, exactly.

-Oh!

-So that's what I have to do. Fix it.

I'll be right back.

OK.

-OK... This is gonna work.

-OK.

All right. Here we go.

What are you doing?

-That was my sandwich.

-Get the screwdriver on it. Sorry about that.

Here we go.

Get that banana... There we go. Hold it.

Hold it. Perfect.

Now I'm done.

Now do you think she will notice?

Again, I want to say no

but I'll have to go with yes.

Urgh! I'm doomed.

Wait, wait. How about this, Big?

The old scooter didn't have tinsel,

or a bell. Huh?

There, you see, Big.

I think that we could make this scooter so great

that Ruby will be glad you broke it.

-BOTH:

-# Ruby's scooter Ruby's scooter

# Ruby's scooter

# Got to give a bit salute-a

# To Ruby and her racing scooter

# It's got wheels, it's got brakes

# Everything that scooting takes

# It's a baby xylophone, yeah

# It's well-known

# You can't scoot a scooter without a xylophone

# Swinging round a corner Feeling really proud

# Hear that xylophone chime out loud

# You've got to give a big salute-a

# To Ruby and her racing scooter

# It's got wheels, it's got brakes

# It's got everything that scooting takes

# Except some flowers and a bell, Yeah, I've got to tell

# You can't scoot a scooter without flowers and a bell

# Flowers make it pretty The bell goes ding

# Smell those flowers Give the bell a ring

# Got to give a bit salute-a

# To Ruby and her racing scooter

# It's got wheels, it's got brakes

# Everything that scooting takes. #

All I can say is, wow.

Yeah.

Ruby may have liked her scooter before,

but now she's gonna love it.

Yeah! High five!

-High five!

-Yeah.

Hmm... Do you have any 16s?

Mmm...

16s, 16s.

Nope, go fish.

Oh!

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO MY SCOOTER?

BOTH: She found it!

Ha-ha, ha-ha!

You did this?!

Yeah. I did the xylophone, and the vase,

and the bell.

And I did the seat, the lunch tray

and the easel.

Um, Ruby...

Usually people say thank you when they don't know what else to say.

Thank you? Are you serious?

Why did you do this?

Er...

Well, er... You see, there was this bird...

or maybe it was a dinosaur...

Small.

It's OK. Um...

Ruby?

We added all that stuff because we...

sort of, um...

broke your scooter.

-Actually, Ruby,

-we

-didn't break anything.

Big broke it! He rode over two pumpkins.

I don't care who broke it.

I'm cross with both of you!

I said, don't touch it.

You're right, and...I'm sorry, Ruby.

-Small.

-Huh?

Oh, all right. Er...

Ruby, I'm sorry too.

Well, that's something.

So, why'd you put on a xylophone?

Oh, that's for going round corners. You should try it.

Mmm...

Oh! Ha-ha.

Ha-ha! oh, yes!

You know, I love the flowers.

See? We told you.

The tray is for lunch,

-and the easel is for when you want to paint.

-OK...

But do not touch my scooter again!

You got that?

BOTH: Got it.

Good. And one more thing.

Do you think you could add a French horn?

Of course! Whatever you want.

All right! Ha-ha. Weeeee!

-Bye, Ruby.

-See you later, Ruby.
