Brrrrr...

Boo! I am Boj!

I wonder what's happening in Giggly Park, today?

-Hey, Pops!

-Huh?

-These ones are really ripe.

-Oh-ho!

-Juicy. I'm digging those, Mimi.

-Ooh! He-he-he.

-Hi, Boj.

-Hiya, Pops and Mimi. What are you doing?

-We're picking blackberries.

-Yeah. These sweet little things

are going to be the main ingredient

in my blackberry and hot chilli smoothie.

-Mmm...

-Mmmm... SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

-Once we've washed them back at the house.

-Oh, of course.

HOOTER HONKS

-Hi, everyone.

-G'day!

THEY CHUCKLE

-Hiya! ALL:

-Hello, Boj.

-Where are you all going?

I'm off to my allotment with the happy harvesters.

-Who are the happy harvey whatsters?

-That's us.

We've been growing vegetables in the ground for weeks.

-Parsnips.

-And other stuff.

-Now, were going to dig them up.

-Dig them up?

-Yes.

It's the bestest bit ever about being a harvester.

-Are you coming, too, Boj?

-Yes!

Sounds like muddy diggety fun.

-THEY GIGGLE

-OK. Hold tight, everyone.

Bye!

-ALL:

-Bye!

HORN HONKS

Right, who's going to dig up their vegetables first?

-Ooh!

-I do!

-Me!

-Me first!

May I be first, Mr Cloppity? Please.

Oh, since you asked so nicely, Denzil, go ahead.

Mum is going to make a soup out of these. Ugh!

THEY GASP

-Ooh, deary me.

-Oh, no. Something's been eating my parsnips.

-Ooh.

-They're all holey.

-Well, I'm sure my harvest will be the biggest ever.

What? Something's been eating my potatoes.

-Oh, that is a shame.

-They've been chewy chomped.

Ugh!

Look at my carrots. Why? I did everything right.

Ugh! Ugh!

Oh! Something's been eating my beetroot.

I was going to draw a face on it and call it Pete.

One slug's feast is another garden's famine.

-What do you mean, Mr Cloppity?

-Your vegetables have all been eaten...

..by a slug.

THEY GASP

That's not fair. Now I won't have anything to take home for my mum.

We may as well just go home.

I suppose so. Come on.

Oh, Boj. What a to-do.

-You can't be a happy harvester without food to harvest.

-Mmm... Hey!

-I know where they can be happy harvesters.

-Ooh!

-Wait, wait!

-Who still wants to fill their boxes with yummy food?

-Me.

-And me.

-I do.

-And me.

-Then, follow me. Bye, Mr Cloppity.

-ALL:

-Yay!

-Bye, everyone.

-Come on!

-Happy harvesting.

-Careful with your fingers. These bushes are all prickly pokey.

-Look!

I found the biggest.

I'm picking the fastest.

Blackberry picking is fun.

-Mum can bake a blackberry pie with these.

-OK, picking pals.

I've got enough now. Better go and wash these little fellows

for Mimi's smoothie. See you later.

-ALL:

-Bye, Pops.

-HE WHISTLES

Oh, so your veggies weren't a success then?

No, and we'd worked really hard and followed all the instructions.

It was supposed to be so exciting when we pulled them up.

But instead, everything was like holey and yuck.

I really wish that slug hadn't eaten my parsnips.

We just wanted to collect some vegetables that we could eat.

Mmmm...

-I've just had a Boj-a-boom idea. ALL:

-Huh?

Hey, everyone, meet me at Mr Cloppity's allotment

-when you've finished picking your blackberries. ALL:

-Oooh!

My buddies really want to pull up some special veggies from the ground.

And my Boj-a-boom idea will get them digging up something special

and surprising too.

Let's get Bojing!

POPS WHISTLES

-Brrr!

-Oh. Hi, Boj. Come to help me wash the blackberries?

-Sorry, Pops.

I've got a Boj-a-boom idea.

Do we have any parsnips or potatoes?

Sorry, Bojjy, we're all out of vegetables.

Ohh! I need veggies for my Boj-a-boom idea to work.

Hmmm... Hang on, we do have something.

Oh, Pops! They will be even better.

Then help yourself, Boj.

Oh, there you are, you cheeky wee slug.

There's plenty to eat here on my compost heap.

So, there's no need to nibble

other people's hard-earned produce, Mr Slug.

Ahhh... Compost, a steaming pile of gardening goodness.

Mother Nature's basket of smelly gold.

Revive, oh, compost! Give my plants life.

-Mr Cloppity, look!

-Aaghh!

Hello, Boj. What have we here?

I'm going to give my friends the happiest harvest ever.

-But I'll need your help.

-Oh, of course.

But I don't understand.

-Take a look.

-Eh?

Oh-hoo-hoo-hoo! Boj, I've seen it all now.

O-o-o-h!

Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!

-BOO!

-Ah-ha-ha-ha!

Brrr....

-Now, all we need are the happy harvesters.

-Oh, and here they come.

-Hi, Boj. Hi, Mr Cloppity.

-Oh, hello, everyone.

And what marvellous heaps of ripe blackberries you all have.

Yes, we could have picked more, but we left them for the birds.

-Of course.

-So, what's your Boj-a-boom idea, Boj?

Look, everyone.

-Ta-da! ALL:

-WOW!

-All our veggies have grown again.

-This is so exciting.

Hah-hah-ha! Rightio, everyone. Ready?

-ALL:

-YAY!

Come on! It's time for a Boj-a-boom harvest.

-Let's all pull them up together.

-Great idea, Gavin.

-OK, everyone.

-ALL:

-Pull.

Wow! A tin of carrots.

I've got a big tin of potatoes.

And my parsnips are already soupy.

Look! My tin of beetroot, it's Pete!

THEY GIGGLE

And safe inside their tinny houses, no slug can eat them either.

THEY CHUCKLE

-ALL:

-Thanks, Boj!

You've certainly made these harvesters happy.

Hello, everyone.

-Ah, I see you've got your tinned veggies.

-ALL:

-Yay!

They're not the same as freshly grown veggies,

but healthy all the same.

-Here you go, Mr Cloppity.

-Oh, don't mind if I do, Mimi.

-Are these the blackberries we picked earlier?

-They sure are, Boj.

Oh, splendid.

Yep, my blackberry and hot chilli smoothie.

I say! That is a surprise!

THEY GIGGLE

-# It's fun to think when your brain goes...

-BOO!

-Ooh-hoo!

# Up pops a thought and it's all brand-new

# It's fun to think when your brain goes POW!

-# Out jumps a thought and we all go...

-WOW!

-#

Hey-hey-hey! Digging it, eh, Mr Cloppity?

# Think, think, think a surprising thing

# Drink, drink, drink a surprising thing

-# Sing, sing, sing a surprise

-BOO!

# Sing song

-TOGETHER:

-# Surprising what just pops up, crops up

# If they ask you, what's up?

# Show them you've got lots up top

BOJ GIGGLES

# Think, think, think a surprising thing

# Try, try, try a surprising thing
