Potato Bing

-Come on, Flop!

-Coming, Bing.

-Coco!

-Hi, Bing.

Hello, Charlie.

-Hi, Bing.

-Hello, Pando.

-Hello, Bing!

-Sula!

Someone's in a hurry.

-Bing!

-You all right, Bing?

-Yeah.

-He's OK.

Around the corner, not far away, Bing and Sula are gardening today.

-Oh, look what we have here. We are in luck today.

-Is it treasure?

-No, Bing.

-'tatoes?

-Yes, Sula.

I planted tiny potatoes in the spring

and made them all cosy in the soil and then they grew

-and grew, like you and you.

-But how?

I looked after them. Very carefully.

-Can we eat them?

-Of course, but they'll need cooking first.

-But they're all dirty.

-Well, that's OK. We'll wash them inside.

-Oh, we can use Pando's dumpster truck, Amma!

-Good idea!

Bing, look!

-Oh. This one's got a face, Sula.

-And he's smiling, Bing. He likes us.

-Yes!

-My, he's certainly got a big nosy.

Nosy 'tatoe.

-'Hello, Bing. I'm Nosy 'tatoe.'

-Hello, Nosy.

-We can't eat nosy 'tatoe, Amma.

-We could never do that.

-We can look after him.

-For ever and ever.

-We would do it very carefully.

-But potatoes don't last for ever and ever.

-Why not?

Cos if you don't eat them quickly, they go bad.

-And then you'll have to throw them away.

-Oh.

-Ew.

-Don't worry, Nosy.

We won't throw you away. Come on, Nosy.

-Flop!

-Yep?

-We've got a 'tatoe, he's called Nosy.

-Hello, Nosy.

-He looks like a very happy potato.

-He is. We're looking after him.

-Let's show Nosy around, Bing.

-Yeah, you'll like it here, Nosy.

-It's got a slide.

-Here you are.

-Thank you, Flop.

-Come on, Nosy.

-It's too big, Sula. He might fall out.

-Nosy needs a baby buggy.

-Yes.

Oh, this, Bing!

Here you go, Nosy. This is your buggy.

-This is the toilet.

-Do you need a wee-wee, Nosy?

'No, thank you, I've already done one. I'm hungry!'

-Oh, let's have a tea party! Come on, Nosy.

-Yeah!

-Nosy, sit up straight.

-'Sorry.'

-Here's your tea, Bing.

-A milk for you, Nosy.

-What do 'tatoes eat, Sula?

Broccoli and chocolate cake.

'Nom-nom-nom.

-'Thank you, Sula.'

-He wants to play now. What shall we play?

-Oh, let's slide!

-He's too little, he might be scared, Bing.

I'll go on it with him.

Weeee!

-He loves it, Sula.

-My turn!

-OK.

Come to me, Nosy.

Weee.

-He does love it! Again! Again!

-He wants to go faster this time.

-Be careful, Bing.

-I am being.

Ah! Catch him!

-Oh, Nosy!

-Oh, no. Nosy!

-Oh, Sula.

-We've breaked Nosy.

-Bing?

-What's wrong?

-He's lost his nosy.

-Oh, dear.

-Where's it gone?

-Oh, I found it, Bing!

-Oh, yeah!

-Now we can fix him.

-Hmm.

-It won't stick on, Bing.

-Oh.

-Oh. We broke nosy.

I'm sure it was an accident, Bing.

Oh, look how many potatoes we grew.

Oh, dear. What happened to Nosy?

-We weren't careful. And he breaked.

-Yes.

-What can we do, Amma?

-Well...

-Please don't throw Nosy away.

I won't, Bing.

But remember, potatoes don't last forever.

-You know, there is something else we can do.

-Can he grow new nosy?

He can't, Sula. But do you remember

how my little potatoes grew and grew?

Like you and you?

Well, if we plant Nosy and HIS nosy, then we can grow new potatoes. Wait!

One second.

-Poor Nosy.

-Nosy!

-Here. Pop Nosy in this part and his nosy in that one.

-Will he like it in there?

-Yes, he's all cosy in that soil.

-Cosy nosy.

-We'll look after them very carefully until they're all big.

-Yes.

Good to you, Bing Bunny! And good for you, too, Sula.

Me and Sula found a funny 'tatoe and we called him Nosy.

And we gived him broccoli and chocolate cake.

But we forgot to look after him very carefully.

And his nosy got breaked off.

So, Amma showed us how to grow new 'tatoes, from Nosy

and his nosy.

We put them in the sunshine and watered them and waited and waited.

Nosy didn't last forever. But look, he growed us new 'tatoes instead.

-Growing potatoes - it's a Bing Thing!

-Look! Baby Nosys!
