LOUD PANTING

You're it.

-Whoa! Hee-hee-hee!

-You're it, Digger.

You're it!

Petal, Dash and Digger are having loads of fun this morning

on Big Barn Farm. They're playing tag. Watch out, Dash!

You can't catch me!

I'm over here! >

Ooh, ooh!

You're it!

Wait a sec, one of the farmyard bunch is missing.

-Oh, oh, oh, is it me?

-Digger,

-how can YOU be missing? You're right here!

-Oh, yeah.

DIGGER GIGGLES

It's Gobo, he's missing.

Oh, I'm going to find him, and when I do, he's it!

DIGGER PANTS

Ah-ha! There's Gobo.

Mmm! Tasty, tasty, tasty.

Gobo, you're it.

-Shhh! You'll disturb them.

-Disturb who?

The vegetables. They need their peace and quiet

when they're trying to grow.

Oh, sorry, Gobo. Sorry, vegetables.

DIGGER PANTS

Now, you cabbages make sure you get lots of lovely sun,

and the same goes for you lettuces over there.

Hmm, Gobo seems to be talking to the vegetables.

Has he gone a bit strange?

They like it, especially the cabbages.

Yes, whatever you say, Gobo(!)

Next morning, Gobo gets up early.

Got to check on those vegetables before breakfast.

Morning, my vegetable friends. Hope you all had a good night's... Aah!

Oh, no!

Some of the vegetables have been...taken! Oh-oh-oh!

# Big Barn Farm! #

Gobo shows the others the vegetable patch.

The vegetables were all here last night,

but this morning, some have gone. Oh-oh!

They must have gone somewhere.

Maybe they've gone for a walk!

Don't be silly, vegetables can't walk! Someone must have taken them.

Yes, a vegetable thief!

We need to find out who's taken those lovely vegetables.

The farmyard bunch can't resist a good mystery.

They decide to track down the vegetable thief together. First,

they ask Old Pop for advice.

# Old Pop, Old Pop, Old Pop

# Old Pop, Old Pop It's Old Pop. #

WOOF!

The first thing you should do is check out the vegetable patch.

Whoever took them may have left something behind

that tells you how they are.

Oh-oh-oh! I know what that's called. It's called a clue.

The farmyard bunch start to search for clues in the vegetable patch.

Careful, everyone. Don't step on any lovely vegetables. Mmm!

Maybe whoever took the vegetables left a footprint.

That's a great idea, Dash. Let's look.

The gang check everywhere for a footprint,

but they can't find one.

# Big Barn Farm. #

There were no clues at the vegetable patch.

Looks like they'll have to try somewhere else.

I've got an idea.

Maybe someone else on the farm saw who took the vegetables.

Nice idea, Gobo.

Let's go and ask around.

Vegetables? No, not round here. We're too busy chatting and swimming

-to look out for vegetables.

-Not that we'd notice,

too busy duckin' and divin'. GURGLING

You mean carrots, turnips, peas, mange tout,

-butternut squash, purple sprouting broccoli, that sort of thing?

-Yes.

-No, nothing like that round here.

-Sorry, haven't seen a sausage...

-or any vegetables either.

-HE CHUCKLES

Moo-la-la!

Non, not a bean, not even a French bean!

Vegetables? No such luck.

Only potato peelings here, I'm afraid.

DIGGER PANTS

This is all a bit weird, if you ask me.

How come no-one saw who took the vegetables?

-Ohhh...

-What is it, Gobo?

-Ohhh... More vegetables have go-o-one!

-The thief

must have come back when we were talking to the other farm animals.

Whoever they are, they certainly

love their vegetables.

Wait a second, that gives me an idea.

Whoever took the vegetables came back a second time,

so chances are, they'll come back a third time too.

So, all we have to do is keep watch on the vegetable patch.

And we'll catch the thief red-handed.

Or red-trottered! Ha-ha-ha!

Or red-pawed! Ha-ha-ha!

Everyone goes to hide round the corner,

where they can keep watch on the gate leading to the vegetable patch.

Problem is, after a time,

keeping watch can be a little, well...

Boring!

Er, I've just remembered something I have to do in my stable.

-Er, back in a bit!

-But, Dash,

what about the...?

Oh, yes, I've just remembered too,

my mum wanted to talk to me about...

erm, the other piglets.

And I, er, really need to go to the toilet.

Digger, don't go, I'll be left here on my own.

Sorry, when you've got to go,

you've got to go. DIGGER PANTS

Gobo's a bit annoyed that the others

-have left him on his own.

-RUMBLING

-Oh, no, his stomach's rumbling!

-And I don't

have any food. I'll just run off and get a quick snack.

Well, that's just great!

Now, no-one's watching the vegetable patch.

# Big Barn Farm! #

GOBO SLURPS NOISILY

Mmm, that's better...

BURP!

Ooh, pardon!

I'll just go and check on those vegetables again.

Ah... Ah...

Agh!

Someone's taken MORE vegetables!

I can't believe you left no-one watching the vegetable patch, Gobo.

-YOU left before I did.

-I thought

the rest of you were going to stay.

But I had to go and see my mum, and...

Wait, everyone... WOMAN SINGING

..I can hear a noise coming from INSIDE the vegetable patch.

Ah, the thief! They must have snuck back in while you lot were arguing.

Right... No-one takes MY vegetables and gets away with it!

Go, go, Gobo!

Now, that is one brave goat!

Ah-ha! Ah...

Oh...

-Oh...

-Oof!

-Er, Gobo, you've just butted the farmer's wife up the bottom.

-Oops!

Ha-ha! I can't believe he just did that!

Gobo's in some serious trouble!

But when the farmer's wife sees it's only Gobo,

she can't really be cross.

Phew, that was a close one!

So, it was the farmer's wife who was taking the vegetables all along.

-GOBO SNIFFS

-I can smell something.

Ah, it's vegetable soup!

That's why the farmer's wife was taking vegetables.

She's making vegetable soup.

Mystery solved!

# They'll be friends forever down on Big Barn Farm! #

Gobo is still a little bit disappointed. He's spent

all day looking at vegetables, but hasn't got to eat any!

Life is so unfair!

-PETAL:

-Wait, the farmer's wife is coming back!

-GOBO:

-Wow, wow, fresh vegetable peelings!

Yum!

THEY EAT NOISILY

-But I don't like vegetable peelings!

-She hasn't forgotten you, Digger.

Wow, thanks!

Mmm! DIGGER EATS NOISILY

That's the vegetable mystery solved. Nothing about stealing,

it's all about peelings.

That's all for now. See you again soon down on Big Barn Farm!
