MOANING

What's going on, Ruairi?

I can't find my treasure chest, May!

All those wonderful treasures, gone! Gone forever!

HE SOBS

I'm sure it can't be too far away.

I tell you, I've searched high and low and it's nowhere to be found.

This is worse than the time I got stranded on that desert island

in the middle of the Amazon river! At least then, then I had my chest.

HE SOBS

-Hello, everyone. What's all the fuss about?

-Huh?

Billy, thank goodness you're here. I've lost my treasure chest.

-Have you seen it?

-Me, um...

Well, er...

Sorry, your what?

My treasure chest! It's lost, have you seen it?!

Um, no.

But I'm sure it will turn up.

Oh, of all the things to lose, my chest is by far the worst.

Worse than the time I was rafting in the Australian Outback

-and I lost BOTH my paddles.

-Where was the last place that you saw it?

I don't have time to think, May.

There's a chest to be found.

Was it the Story Circle?

-Do you know, it was in the Story Circle.

-See,

you have nothing to worry about.

But it's not there now!

Hi, Dara.

-Hi, May.

-Hi, Jayashree.

-Hi!

-Hi, Caleb.

-Hi!

-Hi, Kayla.

-Hi.

What's going on?

-Well, Ruairi's lost his treasure chest.

-Huh! Oh, no!

Maybe we can look for it when we go exploring with our new friends.

Yeah! Quest for the chest!

You seem awfully interested in finding the chest, my young badger.

You wouldn't happen to know where it is, would you?

I just really wanted to start looking.

Well, the sooner we get ready, the sooner we can go and find it.

GULP!

OK, a bag for Jayashree, there you go.

A bag for Caleb,

and a bag for Kayla. Is everybody ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Let's go, let's go!

Billy, you really want to find that chest.

-May, everyone's ready.

-Oh, OK.

Bags on shoulders,

boots on toes,

it's quest for the chest, so...

ALL: Off we go!

Come on. Let's see what we can find.

Wait for me!

It's too big to fit under there.

It might be in those trees, just there.

RUAIRI SIGHS

Ruairi, I'm sorry we haven't found your treasure chest yet.

-But it's important that we keep looking for it.

-You're right, May.

We should split up. I'm going to check in your hut, one last time.

That's the spirit, Ruairi. We'll keep looking here.

Don't worry, Ruairi. We'll find it.

This is the most difficult treasure hunt yet.

I know. It was here just a minute ago...

What was that, Billy?

Oh, nothing.

Dara, we'll need some help with this one.

I'm on my way.

Ha-ha!

Ruairi!

What are you doing?

Oh, Hi, Dara! I just remembered

the time when I went searching pirate treasure.

It was buried in the ground, 100 paces from an old oak tree.

Maybe pirates got hold of my chest and buried it here,

100 paces from the Big City Park oak tree.

OK, I'm going to see what my city friends are saying.

May be they can help us.

Good idea. I'll get back to my digging.

OK, see you later, Ruairi. Good luck.

Did you say something, Dara?

Dara?

Ok, let's see. Finding things...

No...

Here we are!

"When I've lost something." That's it. Ha-ha!

From the fastest fox in Big City Park to the friendliest friends

in the big city. Tell us what you know.

We're having fun in the city.

Come with us.

-One, two, three...

-We're going to the top of the city.

THEY GIGGLE

BELL CHIMES

-We like playing outside.

-Do you?

Corey, I've lost my doll.

-We've got to go back where we started.

-OK, come on.

We're finding my doll.

We were here before.

Let's go!

Always go back the way you came.

We've found my doll.

BOTH: Bye!

See you later. Hee-hee!

Big City Park!

-Found out, May.

-Found out what?

I just got a great tip from my city friends.

They say if you lose something, you should try to retrace your steps.

That means going back the way you came.

That is a great idea, Dara. Shall we go and tell Ruairi?

ALL: Yes!

-Come on.

-Wait! I have to tell you something.

What's wrong, Billy?

Earlier, I was at the Story Circle

and I saw the treasure chest, sitting there.

I wanted to peek inside, but I was worried Ruairi might catch me.

So I took it away to have a secret look.

Oh, Billy.

I'm sorry. But now I can't remember where I left it.

Oh, don't worry, Billy.

We'll help you to retrace your steps. I'm sure we'll find it.

Really?

Really.

Do you think we could help Billy remember where he left the chest?

ALL: Yes!

Great. Come on, let's go.

Well, digging holes was a bad idea.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

RUAIRI SOBS

If I've lost my chest, we might not remember all the good times we had

in Big City Park.

HE CRIES

Eh, Billy...

Yeah?

Why are you walking backwards?

I'm retracing my steps.

YAAGH!

THEY ALL LAUGH

Urgh... It's no use.

Billy, I don't think that's what Dara meant by

-"retracing your steps".

-Yeah, Billy.

Try to think of the last place you were. The place before that.

-Then the place before that.

-OK...

Ah!

Yeah!

I've got it! Ha-ha!

Before I went to May's hut, I was at the tree stump.

I came here because my friend Charlie told me there was a whole family

of woodlice to check out. I spoke to Charlie at the...

um...

at the bike stand! Ha!

I came here because Dara told me the Big City Park cycling club

had got some brand-new, shiny mountain bikes.

I spoke to Dara at the...

um...ha!

..Old oak tree! Just after I'd come from my secret hiding place.

Huh! Ah, that's it!

Ha-ha! Come on! Ha-ha-ha!

When I took the chest away from the Story Circle I wanted to find

somewhere nice and quiet. Only little creatures can get in here.

That's why Ruairi couldn't find it. Ha-ha!

I wonder if May and her friends have had any more luck?

DONG!

Arrgh!

Be careful in there, Billy.

HE HEAVES

Found it.

THEY ALL CHEER

Well done, Billy.

BELLS RING

That's Ruairi calling us to the Story Circle. Shall we see him?

-Yes!

-Who'll help me with this treasure chest?

-Me!

-Me!

DONG!

Ahhh!

Oh, why do I keep forgetting about that thing?

Hi, Ruairi.

-Hi, May.

-We found something.

Huh? My treasure chest! Oh, you found it.

Oh, who moved it?

I'm sorry, Ruairi, it was me. I wanted to have a sneaky peek inside.

I took it away but couldn't remember where I'd put it.

Please forgive me.

I don't know, Billy.

Taking someone else's personal belongings is a serious matter.

We all make mistakes.

Like the time I went 2,000 miles north instead of south.

Or the time you lost the keys to the Big City Park gates.

-But...

-Or the time you forgot to water the daffodils in the garden.

-Or the time that you forgot to...

-OK, I get the idea.

It's OK, Billy, I forgive you.

Ha! Yippee! Ha-ha!

THEY ALL LAUGH

Ahem.

It was a sad day when my chest went away,

everything was a terrible mess.

But retracing their way, I am happy to say,

my friends found my old treasure chest!

THEY ALL CHEER

Do you have anything you'd like to keep in Ruairi's treasure chest

to remind us of the fun we had today? Leaves! Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Ruairi?

-Yes?

Please could I see inside?

-What do you think, Ruairi?

-I'm not too sure.

BILLY SIGHS

Ha-ha! I'm only joking!

THEY ALL LAUGH

Go on.

Have a wee peek.

Huh!

Wow! Thanks, Ruairi.

All the happy memories back in their special place.

It's been an eventful day, here in Big City Park. Join us again soon.

Right, who would like some more popcorn?

ALL: Me!

Me, me, me, me!

Big City Park!
