Welcome to Big Barn Farm.

It's a lovely sunny day and everybody is up and about.

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

I'm here. Piglet power!

Me too. Go, go, Gobo!

Don't forget me.

But there is only one question.

ALL: Where is Dash?

So, Petal,

Gobo and...

-Digger.

-..Digger. Yes, and you, Digger.

I was just getting to that.

Petal, Gobo and Digger are all off on a mission to find Dash.

First stop...Dash's stable.

But someone else seems to be visiting Dash, too.

The farmer.

What's he doing here?

Oh, is it feeding time again? Mmm.

Great. I'm really quite hungry, actually.

Now is not the time to think about food.

It's always the time to think about food.

Something's happening. Let's ask Dash.

ALL: Hello, Dash.

Why did the farmer just visit you?

Is everything OK?

I've got a sore hoof.

Oh, dear!

So you can't come?

Go on. We're going to play hide and seek.

No thanks, everyone. I'm just going to take it easy today

and rest my hoof.

Do you think Dash needs cheering up?

Do you think we can do it?

Farmyard Bunch, Dash needs us. Let's get to work.

Well done, Petal. She has got the Farmyard Bunch on a mission

to try and cheer Dash up.

And it looks like Digger has got the first idea.

SNIFFING AND PANTING

Oh, Dash will love my soft blanket.

Great idea, Digger. But mind that bush!

And all that mud.

And watch out for that...puddle.

Oh, well. It's the thought that counts.

Dash! Dash!

Take my blanket. It's soft and comfy and... Hmm.

..disgusting! Oops.

Thanks, Digger, but I think I'll pass.

DASH SIGHS

Poor Dash. His hoof is still hurting him and Digger's blanket

has not helped cheer him up at all.

Maybe Gobo can help.

Dash loves carrots. If I take him some in my baskets

it will cheer him up no end.

Hmm. But maybe I should taste one first.

Yeah, just to check they're OK.

Mmm.

SHE GOBBLES

SHE PANTS

Dash!

I picked you some carrots.

Oh, that's kind of you, but where are they?

I, erm, ate them.

GOBO BURPS

Ooh, pardon me.

But they were really delicious.

Thanks for telling me(!)

# Friends forever down on Big Barn Farm. #

Leave it to Petal. Surely she's got a perfect plan to cheer Dash up.

Dash, I think we need to take your mind off your sore hoof.

-How?

-By letting me entertain you.

PETAL CLEARS HER THROAT

# Ooh, yeah, having a bad hoof

# Is no good for a Donkey

# Oink, oink

# It makes you hobble and walk a bit wonky

# Oink, oink. #

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Moo-la-la! What is that horrible noise?

Maybe it wont be as loud under water.

PETAL SINGS LOUDER

I can still hear it.

Baa, make it stop.

That's lovely, but quite enough thank you, Petal.

Does your hoof feel any better, Dash?

Not really, I'm afraid.

And now I've got a bit of a headache, as well.

I think I might just rest in my stable for a while.

Petal, Gobo and Digger have tried their best,

but they can't seem to cheer Dash up.

What's the plan now, Petal?

I know! We need to ask for some help. Follow me.

I wonder who they're going to see?

# It's Mack the horse

# It's Mack the horse. #

Of course. Mack! He has hooves just like Dash.

I'm sure he'll be able to help.

Now, what can I do for you?

It's Dash. He's got a sore hoof

and we can't cheer him up.

We've tried blankets, carrots and, erm, brilliant singing.

-COUGHING

-Yes, I heard that.

Listen, if Dash has a sore hoof, there's only one way to help him.

ALL: How?

More singing?

No, the farmer needs to call the vet.

Oh, the farmer, you say?

Yes, he did visit Dash earlier to look at his hoof.

Well then, you have nothing to worry about.

The farmer has probably already sent for the vet.

Mack is right. The vet is an animal doctor.

She'll know what to do.

# Big Barn Farm. #

-Great news, Dash.

-What?

-The vet is on her way.

-The vet?

Oh, that is good news.

Wait a minute! Th-the vet? N-n-no. I don't want to see the vet.

Erm, actually my hoof is feeling a lot better. Er, look!

Ow. Ha-ha, ow! Hmm.

Dash! Don't hurt your hoof.

Oh, please don't make me see the vet.

Why? She'll help you.

But I've never seen the vet before and it might hurt and...

Oh, dear.

All right, Dash. Don't get yourself all worked up.

Yes. Just tell us what we can do.

Erm, you can hide me.

ALL: What?

You can help to hide me from the vet.

So Petal, Gobo and Digger have their job.

But one question springs to mind.

Erm...how do you hide a donkey?

# Big Barn Farm. #

Go on. In you go.

Aren't I a bit too big?

You certainly are.

This is no place for a Donkey.

About turn, please.

THE COCK CHANTS

-Can you still see me?

-Yes.

We can see your head.

How about now?

GOBO GIGGLES

We can see your bottom.

-GOBO GIGGLES

-Erm, how about now?

-GIGGLING

-No chance!

PETAL LAUGHS

Bet you can't see where I am now.

You're in the washing!

-Oh, this is silly. There's nowhere I can hide.

-Wait a minute.

I know! There is someone who can help.

So, what is it now?

Sorry to bother you again, but can we hide Dash in your stable?

Why would you want to do that?

So the vet doesn't find me.

Oh, Dash. You've got nothing to worry about with the vet.

She's helped me lots of times.

-Really?

-Oh, yes.

She's kind, caring, clever and she's...

erm, coming this way.

Ooh, she is, as well.

-Hide me, everyone.

-Don't be silly, Dash. Let her help you.

Well, it's too late to hide now. The vet has found Dash

and she's looking at his sore hoof.

She's being very gentle. Dash can't feel a thing.

And what's that?

The vet has found a very sharp stone in Dash's hoof.

Ouch! No wonder it was hurting. All better now, though.

And Dash even gets a carrot for being so brave.

Are you OK, Dash?

Oh, yes, I'm fine. Did you see that stone the vet pulled out of my hoof?

-Wow!

-And now you see, Dash,

-there was no need to worry about the vet, was there?

-Worried?

Who me? Oh, no, I wasn't worried at all.

THEY LAUGH

-What?

-So, Dash, now that you're feeling better

do you want to play a game?

Yeah, go on, your choice. You can pick anything.

OK. Anything but hide and seek.

I'm bound to lose. You can't hide a donkey anywhere.

THEY LAUGH

And so ends another eventful day for the Farmyard Bunch.

See you again next time down on Big Barn Farm.
