It's competition day. You've joined us as the race gets under way.

Petal, Gobo, Dash and Digger are about to find out

which of the Farmyard Bunch is the best at running.

-The excitement mounts...

-Sorry.

Petal, Gobo, Dash and Digger

are about to find out who is the fastest runner.

Petal's explaining the rules.

We start running after I've said, ready, steady, go.

-Hey!

-I am winning.

-I am winning!

-Well, you did say ready, steady, go, Petal.

Yes! I am the fastest runner.

Hmm. Not fair.

The next contest is who is the best at I spy.

Dash has spied with his little eye

something beginning with G.

-Oh, I know! Is it chicken?

-Cluck!

Chicken doesn't begin with G, does it?

OK. What about green chicken?

Nice try, Digger, but no.

We give in. What is the answer?

Hmm. Grass.

Oh, that's not fair.

Being the tallest means Dash can see the grass

over the delivery of straw.

-Hmm, yes.

-Who's the strongest is the next contest.

Who can knock over the wooden barrel?

Oh, I give up.

DIGGER PANTS

Next it's Petal's turn.

Petal's determined to be the best at something

so she pulls and pushes with all her might, but...

I give up.

-Go, go, Gobo.

-GOBO BLEATS

-Look out!

-HENS CLUCK

Are you ready to play hide and seek? I'm not looking.

Go and hide.

I'm going to find the best hiding place ever.

Digger is the fastest runner.

Dash is the best at I spy.

And Gobo has proved he is the strongest.

DIGGER: Three...

..four...

..five...

..six...

-..seven...

-Petal's determined to be best at something.

-She hopes it's this game of hide and seek.

-..eight...

-..nine...

-At last Petal finds a hiding place under an old blanket.

..ten! Coming, ready or not!

I am seeking, I am seeking.

I am still seeking.

Well, it's obvious where Gobo's gone to hide.

-Oh-oh!

-Found you.

-Oh.

-And Dash is even easier to spot.

I see you, Dash.

Oh!

But try as they might, Gobo, Dash and Digger can't find Petal.

All the excitement has left Petal rather sleepy.

PETAL YAWNS

-Petal doesn't even stir when Gobo shouts...

-Give us a clue, Petal.

Because snug under the old blanket,

-Petal has fallen asleep.

-PETAL SNORES

And Petal doesn't even wake up

when the farmer puts the trailer on the tractor...

..and heads down the road... and out of the farmyard.

Gobo, Dash and Digger search high and low for Petal.

But there's no sign of her anywhere.

HENS CLUCK Sorry, Mrs Chickens.

-MRS CHICKENS:

-What a cheek.

Meanwhile, Petal is still having

a lovely little snooze on the trailer.

Gobo, Dash and Digger decide they need some help to find Petal.

Who would know Petal's favourite hiding places?

-Why Petal's mum of course!

-ANIMALS: Mrs Snuffles.

Oink, oink, oink!

# Mrs Snuffles It's Mrs Snuffles... #

Mrs Snuffles knows all about how hard it can be to find Petal.

Especially at bedtime.

Well, she's got lots of good hiding places.

Have you looked behind the bales of hay?

Ye-e-e-es. We looked there.

Are you in there, Petal?

Time to come out.

What about in the laundry basket?

Yes, we've looked there as well.

Oh!

And you must have looked in the workshop?

-Yea... No, we didn't look there. I'll go.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-Hmm...hmm.

-She's not here, Dash.

-Where can she be hiding?

Not hiding, Dash, try sleeping.

With no sign of Petal on the farm,

Gobo, Dash and Digger try something else.

We give in.

ALL: Petal! Petal! Where are you?

THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

No sign of Petal. Maybe Madame has got an idea.

Oh, la-la! What a lot of shouting.

As I always say, boys means noise.

Gobo, Dash and Digger tell Madame that they can't find Petal anywhere.

But Madame has a plan.

We will all try to find her.

Then I might get a little peace and quiet.

So the duck girls start looking.

Petal, are you in there?

Not here.

Petal! Petal!

Come on, search party. Hup! Hup!

Petal! Petal, where are you?

Meanwhile, Petal has no idea of all the fuss she's causing

back in the farmyard.

Hidden under the old blanket, she's just waking up.

Whee!

I win hide and seek.

BIRDS TWEET

Petal's a bit surprised to see where she is.

This isn't the farmyard. This is one of the farmer's far away fields.

It'll take ages to walk back to the farmyard.

With the farmer gone, it means that Petal's been left...

All alone in the far, far away field.

A long way from the farmyard.

Back on the farm, Gobo, Dash and Digger

are fed up playing hide and seek.

Digger is ready to play another game.

Oh, look! A football!

I wonder if Petal is hiding under it.

That seems unlikely. But it could be an excuse

for Digger and Gobo to play with the ball.

I've got it, I've got it.

To you, Gobo!

To you, Digger.

-What are they doing? Come on, girls.

-Oh, dear.

This isn't the time for football.

Hey, we're meant to be looking for Petal.

We're looking, we're looking.

# Big Barn Farm! #

They asked the duck girls but they really aren't any help at all.

-Searching's boring.

-And we wanted a swim.

See what I mean?

Poor Gobo, Dash and Digger don't know where to look now.

Petal's enjoying her adventure,

but she realises her mum might be worrying.

She should be getting back, but...

How can I get back to the farmyard?

It's much too far to walk.

I don't think my trotters can trot that far.

Is there anything in the field that will help?

The farmer's trailer brought her here,

but it needs a tractor to pull it.

What about the wheelbarrow?

Nice idea, but you need someone to push it.

The farmer's wife's bicycle?

No, Petal's legs aren't long enough to ride the bicycle.

There she is! She's coming back for her bicycle.

The farmer's wife's surprised to see the piglet in the field.

-Hurray!

-Luckily, there's plenty of room in the basket for Petal.

-Hold on tight, Petal.

-Whee!

Gobo, Dash and Digger are asking Mrs Snuffles

if she can think where Petal might be hiding.

-Because they've looked...

-Everywhere.

Let me think.

BIKE BELL RINGS CHICKEN: Road hog!

Just cos you've got wheels.

Mrs Snuffles is telling Gobo, Dash and Digger

they won't have to wait too long for Petal

because she's always back for her lunch.

It's potato peelings today.

Then they hear a familiar voice.

-PETAL:

-Do you give in yet?

-Was that...

-Petal:

-Gobo! Dash! Digger! Give in yet?

Hmm, it's coming from the farmhouse.

-Let's go.

-I told you she'd be back.

They raced to the farmhouse,

but where's Petal?

Piglet power!

The bicycle basket!

It seems like such an obvious hiding place now.

I told you I'd find the best hiding place, didn't I?

Were you in there all the time?

Ah! The hide and seek champion never gives away her best hiding places.

That's all for now.

See you again soon down on Big Barn Farm.
