0:57:32 > 0:57:34- Good morning, Big.- Morning, Small.

0:57:35 > 0:57:37Huh, huh! Heh, heh, heh! That's a good one.

0:57:37 > 0:57:40What are you laughing at?

0:57:40 > 0:57:42Oh, it's just a letter from my penpal.

0:57:46 > 0:57:50Woah! Big, that's a pineapple stamp! That's the best stamp ever!

0:57:50 > 0:57:52Where's it from?

0:57:52 > 0:57:55Oh, it's from Furthermost. That's where my penpal lives.

0:57:55 > 0:58:00Furthermost. That's the most far, faraway place there is.

0:58:00 > 0:58:02- Nobody lives further than that.- Yep.

0:58:04 > 0:58:07- So where's mine?- Where's your what?

0:58:07 > 0:58:08My letter from Furthermost?

0:58:08 > 0:58:12Oh, I'm sorry, Small. You didn't get one.

0:58:12 > 0:58:17I didn't...I didn't...why didn't I get a letter?

0:58:17 > 0:58:20I live here, too! That's just mean!

0:58:20 > 0:58:22Well, have you written any letters recently?

0:58:22 > 0:58:26- No.- Hmm.

0:58:26 > 0:58:29And anyway, I said getting a letter, not writing one.

0:58:29 > 0:58:34Well, you usually have to write a letter in order to get a letter.

0:58:34 > 0:58:38- BIG CLEARS HIS THROAT - Oh, well, why didn't you say so?

0:58:38 > 0:58:42SMALL HUMS

0:58:44 > 0:58:47OK. Paper, pencil. Here we go!

0:58:49 > 0:58:52Hmmm. Hm.

0:58:52 > 0:58:55Ah! Ooh!

0:58:57 > 0:58:59Done!

0:59:04 > 0:59:07Eww!

0:59:07 > 0:59:11I don't need a stamp because I'm delivering this by hand.

0:59:11 > 0:59:14It's for Ruby.

0:59:16 > 0:59:17That's nice.

0:59:19 > 0:59:23Ner-ner ner-ner, tata tin-tin-tin, der-der, ding-dong!

0:59:23 > 0:59:27Special delivery! Ha-ha-ha! Yeah!

0:59:27 > 0:59:31Special delivery. Yeah. For Ruby the mouse.

0:59:33 > 0:59:36Ruby? WHERE? RUBY!

0:59:36 > 0:59:39Could you please keep it down?

0:59:39 > 0:59:41This is a quiet neighbourhood.

0:59:42 > 0:59:45- Oh, hello, Small.- Oh, hi. Hey, did you get my letter?

0:59:45 > 0:59:51- Yes, thank you. It was delicious. - Ha-ha-ha! Yeah, yeah! Delicious?

0:59:51 > 0:59:53You were supposed to read it, Ruby, not eat it!

0:59:53 > 0:59:56That letter took ages to write.

0:59:56 > 0:59:58Really? What did it say?

0:59:58 > 1:00:03It said, "Dear Ruby. It's Small. Write back. Bye."

1:00:03 > 1:00:05That's a very short letter.

1:00:05 > 1:00:09Well, that's because I wanted you to write a letter back fast!

1:00:09 > 1:00:12Ohhh! OK. Here's your letter.

1:00:15 > 1:00:18Dear Small.

1:00:18 > 1:00:19Goodbye.

1:00:21 > 1:00:23SMALL SIGHS

1:00:23 > 1:00:25Hmph.

1:00:27 > 1:00:29SMALL GRUNTS

1:00:29 > 1:00:32- Hm.- Eh.- Oh, hi, Small.

1:00:32 > 1:00:35So, did Ruby like your letter?

1:00:35 > 1:00:37She ate it!

1:00:37 > 1:00:42You know, some people don't deserve to get letters but I do!

1:00:42 > 1:00:45But I haven't got one. Twice!

1:00:45 > 1:00:49- Well, why don't you get a penpal? - I will.

1:00:49 > 1:00:52Just as soon as you tell me what that is!

1:00:52 > 1:00:56Heh! OK. Well, a penpal, Small, is someone you swap letters with.

1:00:56 > 1:01:00You tell them about your life. Ooh, and they tell you about theirs.

1:01:00 > 1:01:03Ooh, stuff like, "My favourite food is yoghurt,"

1:01:03 > 1:01:05or, "I'm afraid of sand."

1:01:05 > 1:01:07You know, stuff like that.

1:01:07 > 1:01:11Ooh! B-b-but, where are they? How do I find one?

1:01:11 > 1:01:16Well, penpals are everywhere. In the city, by the seaside, up a mountain.

1:01:16 > 1:01:21- Or...in Furthermost.- Mm.

1:01:21 > 1:01:24You know, Big, I'm going to get my own letter from Furthermost.

1:01:24 > 1:01:26Woo-hoo!

1:01:26 > 1:01:28But wait! W-w-w-wait!

1:01:28 > 1:01:31If I have to send a letter first, how will it get there, Big?

1:01:31 > 1:01:32How will it get there? HOW?

1:01:32 > 1:01:36A plane will take your letter and fly it to Furthermost.

1:01:36 > 1:01:40Then the same plane will fly your penpal's letter back to you.

1:01:40 > 1:01:43It's called airmail.

1:01:43 > 1:01:45Oh! Airmail.

1:01:49 > 1:01:52Here we go, Big. It's mail time!

1:01:52 > 1:01:54BOTH LAUGH

1:01:54 > 1:01:59OK. Hurgh! Ergh!

1:01:59 > 1:02:04Ergh! Errrrgh!

1:02:04 > 1:02:05SMALL SIGHS

1:02:05 > 1:02:10- Here, I can do it.- No, Big, it's my letter. I can do it.

1:02:10 > 1:02:16- Right.- Can you help me by doing the horsey thing?- Yeah, yeah.

1:02:16 > 1:02:20- OK, OK.- There we go.- OK, hold on. Ready?

1:02:23 > 1:02:26- BIG GRUNTS - Woo!- Yeah! OK?- OK.

1:02:26 > 1:02:30Ah! Woo-hoo! Yeah!

1:02:30 > 1:02:33- Thanks, Big. Mwah! - Aww! You're welcome.

1:02:37 > 1:02:41SMALL HUMS

1:02:41 > 1:02:45- What are you doing?- I'm waiting.

1:02:45 > 1:02:48- Er, waiting for what?- The plane, Big.

1:02:48 > 1:02:50With the letters that my penpal is sending me.

1:02:50 > 1:02:53Airmail, remember?

1:02:53 > 1:02:56- Oh! Small?- Mm-hm.

1:02:56 > 1:02:58You realise you can do something else while you're waiting, right?

1:03:01 > 1:03:05Big, I can't possibly do something else

1:03:05 > 1:03:07when I'm already doing something.

1:03:07 > 1:03:10Which is waiting for letters.

1:03:10 > 1:03:14- OK. Well, happy waiting, then. - Thanks.- OK.

1:03:14 > 1:03:18SMALL HUMS

1:03:20 > 1:03:27# I've been waiting, waiting I love nothing better!

1:03:27 > 1:03:31# Than watching for the post to come Ha!

1:03:31 > 1:03:35# Waiting for my letter Yeah!

1:03:35 > 1:03:41# I can spend my whole life here Just staring at my own front door

1:03:41 > 1:03:44# I'm still waiting for my mail to come

1:03:44 > 1:03:48# But I can wait some more-ore-ore!

1:03:48 > 1:03:53# I've been waiting, waiting I love nothing better

1:04:23 > 1:04:25Oh, plane! Where are you?

1:04:27 > 1:04:32- Erm.- Oh, plane!- Er, Small.- Hm?

1:04:32 > 1:04:34Why is there an arrow pointing at the ground?

1:04:34 > 1:04:39Well, the arrow is to show the plane exactly where to drop the letters.

1:04:39 > 1:04:43And the net here is in case he misses.

1:04:43 > 1:04:45I've thought of everything.

1:04:45 > 1:04:47Now stand back. Don't block the sky!

1:04:47 > 1:04:51But, Small, the plane won't fly over the garden and, furthermore,

1:04:51 > 1:04:54Furthermost is a very long way away.

1:04:54 > 1:04:56Those letters may not even come today.

1:04:56 > 1:04:59Or tomorrow. Or even this week.

1:04:59 > 1:05:01Well, when, then?

1:05:02 > 1:05:06- I don't know. Letters are kind of unpredictable.- Oh.

1:05:06 > 1:05:09Ohhh!

1:05:10 > 1:05:15Poor Small. I wish there was something I could do to cheer him up.

1:05:15 > 1:05:17Oh! Wait a minute.

1:05:17 > 1:05:20Oh, I just got an idea! Wahey-hey-heh!

1:05:23 > 1:05:26This is my saddest day.

1:05:26 > 1:05:30All I wanted was one letter back from my penpal.

1:06:21 > 1:06:25"Your friend, Big."

1:06:27 > 1:06:31Oh, I'm sorry it's not from a real penpal, Small. Don't you like it?

1:06:57 > 1:06:59Hey, Big. Let's be penpals.

1:06:59 > 1:07:03Bu-but we live in the same house.

1:07:03 > 1:07:09Exactly. We won't need a plane and our letters can come every day!

1:07:09 > 1:07:13Oh-ho-ho! That's a good point. I would love to be your penpal, Small.

1:07:13 > 1:07:18- Oh, Big, you are going to learn so much about me and my ways.- I will.

1:07:18 > 1:07:24Did you know, for example, that I like yoghurt and I'm scared of sand?

1:07:24 > 1:07:26Ha-ha-ha! I did not know that.

1:07:26 > 1:07:30Well, you've got a lot to learn, Big. A lot to learn!

1:07:30 > 1:07:33OK. "Dear Big,

1:07:33 > 1:07:40"Did you also know that I like to get presents?

1:07:40 > 1:07:45"Yes, I always am in the mood for presents."
