Gone Fishin' 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 want to have fun it doesn't matter at all

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

-Yeah! #

Big! Oh, Big!

Oh, Big, Big, Big!

Big! Hey, Big, are you in here?

Big, where are you?

Oh!

Oh! What is that?

Wow!

Oh! It's a note. Big left me a note here on our special note

leaving place. Let me see.

"Dear Small..." That's me.

"Gone fishing. Your friend, Big."

Well, that's good. Wait a minute, fishing?

Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute!

-Big! Big! Big!

-Eh?

-Big, Big, Big!

-Oh, hi.

-What are you doing?

You can't fish! It's not allowed, remember?

We only have one fish and we tried to catch him already.

He didn't like it, so stop.

Don't worry, I'm not really fishing.

I don't even have a hook. Just a pole, some string,

-a little clown bloke. He's friendly.

-Wait, I don't get it.

You're fishing, but you're not fishing.

Exactly. You don't need to catch anything to fish, Small,

you just need to enjoy sitting by the water with a fishing pole.

Why, Big, why?

Because it's relaxing, Small. You should try it.

I should, actually, because I've been so hugely busy today with,

like, a million things to do,

and I'm exhausted, Big, exhausted.

I'll be right back, OK? OK.

-Woohoo! I'm back.

-Great. And now we can relax.

-OK, OK. Do I just put my string in the water?

-Yeah.

-OK.

HE LAUGHS

-Oh, good cast.

-Thanks, now what?

Now you sit back and enjoy the day, Small.

OK, you're right. You know what, Big?

There's nothing like a nice,

quiet afternoon of fishing down at the old fishing hole.

Yep. You know what? I feel a song coming on.

-BOTH:

-# A line and a pole And an old fishing hole

# Go relaxing with nothing to do

# A line and a pole And an old fishing hole

# And maybe a sandwich or two

# Just a-bask in the breeze In the shade of some trees

# Feet up, it's great to unwind

-# Oh!

-A day by the water Why everyone ought to go fishing

# Leave your worries behind

# With a line and a pole And an old fishing hole

# Go relaxing with nothing to do

# With a line and a pole And an old fishing hole

# And maybe a sandwich or two

# With a line and a pole And an old fishing hole

# Go relaxing with nothing to do

# Go relaxing with nothing to do. #

Fishing. This is the life.

Yeah, I suppose. Only...

-Only? Only what?

-Only, is this it, Big?

Is this all there is? When is something going to happen?

Small, the whole point of fishing is that nothing ever...

Oh!

Big, you caught something.

But...that's impossible! How could I?

It better not be our fish, Big. Sorry, ferocious fish!

If Big caught you, he didn't mean to.

Oh, Big! You caught a shark!

A shark? Shark!

What is a shark doing in our pond, Small?

I don't know, but it was there.

It was big and long and grey, with a sharp, pointy fin.

-Small...

-Big?

Remember that big plastic shark you lost a few days ago?

Sharkey? Oh, yeah, I remember.

Poor Sharkey!

-Could he have ended up in the pond?

-Em...let me see.

The last time I saw him was when he flew out of the window,

on my shark lawnchair, towards the pond.

It's possible.

OK, there we are. There we go.

Oh, Sharkey! I missed you!

Next time you're going to fly out the window,

try not to fall into the pond, OK?

Whoa, Big. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Behind you! There's a big, giant whale!

Run!

Small! That's impossible!

There's no such thing as a giant...

Whale, whale, whale!

See? I know it's a whale, Big, because I know whales.

They're long and blue and they have holes in their heads

and they can drink an entire pond.

-Yeah. Small?

-That's my name.

-Remember that inflatable whale you lost?

-Oh, yeah, Whaley.

Yeah, Whaley. Could he have ended up in the pond?

It's entirely possible, Big.

Whaley! It's you! I missed you!

-Bla, bla, bla... Ha, ha, ha!

-OK.

Do you see anything else you might have dropped around here?

Any jellyfish or giant squid?

Ha, ha, ha. Oh, Big, you're so funny,

but I don't think there's anything else.

-Good, because I really want to get back to fishing. Ow!

-Ow? Ow what?

-What ow?

-I stubbed my toe on something.

Small, it's a treasure chest.

Small, it's a real, live treasure chest.

-Is it from pirates?

-I don't know for sure.

But it's a treasure chest all right!

I don't believe it!

We've waited our entire lives to find real, live treasure!

And now we have, Small! In our very own pond!

-What's inside? My gosh, it could be anything! Gold?

-Oh, jewels!

-Coins!

Chocolate!

-There's only one way to find out.

-Stand back.

-I will.

It won't open!

-Maybe my fishing pole will help.

-Yeah, good idea.

-OK, stand back.

-OK, standing back.

OK, just...

-That's right. Push, Big. Push!

-OK.

Push like the wind!

-Oh, no!

-You did it, Big! You did it!

Oh! It's...it's...it's...!

A banana?

Who'd put a chest full of bananas in our pond?

Um... Oh. Eh...

-Small?

-Oh, yeah. Well, do you remember that day

when you were eating bananas and stuff?

-Um, no.

-Well, you were.

So I put some extra bananas in my toy chest so you wouldn't see them.

Then I put it in the wagon and was going to hide it outside.

The wagon went down the hill and into the water.

Then the chest went into the water. And I couldn't find it until now.

I am going to fish.

-Hey, Big.

-Yeah?

-Does that pole still work?

Uh...no.

Well, why don't you take mine?

-Hang on.

-Really?

-There you go.

-Thank you, Small.

-And I'll use yours.

Oh, yeah!

Who knew fishing could be so exciting and thrilling?

-I mean, sharks and whales and sunken treasure! Who knew?

-Not me.

You know what would be more thrilling, Big?

How about we fish from a helicopter, Big? A helicopter!

Eh? Eh?

-Or we could just sit here.

-And relax.
