You Won't Like This Present as Much as I Do Charlie and Lola

-Ha ha ha!

-Ha ha.

Charlie!

Lola?

Charlie!

-LOLA JINGLES SOME CHANGE

-Charlie. Cha-a-arlie!

I have this little sister, Lola.

She is small

-and very funny.

-Ooh!

Guess, Charlie. Guess exactly who Dad has given some money to.

Er...you?

Yes! Me, Charlie. And can you guess why?

-Hmm...

-Because tomorrow is Lotta's birthday.

Happy birthday, Lotta!

Dad has given me some money to buy a REALLY special present for Lotta,

-which she will like.

-What will you choose?

I'd like to get her an actual pony.

Cos she likes ponies, I think.

Ha ha!

That's not quite enough money to buy a real pony.

-Hm...

-Maybe you can get a pretend one.

No, she'll like a real, actual one.

Lotta only has a really small garden so she couldn't keep a pony.

Erm...hm...

Yes, I can see a pony would be a little bit squished.

A good present, Lola, is one that Lotta can actually use.

Hm... A really nice birthday present and something useful.

A musical skipping rope could be nice.

Or...

some colouring crayons that can colour all by themselves.

Or...some wings.

So she can fly like a butterfly.

Lola, you need to choose something that actually exists.

All of the things you just said are made up.

-They're not made up, Charlie.

-They are.

-Not.

-Are.

-Not.

-Are.

-Not!

-Are.

Are not. ARE NOT!

Anyway, Dad's taking us to the toyshop.

Oh! I love the toyshop!

Ah! Whoa...

I think I'll find something very specially good here.

I'll need to see mostly everything before I decide.

It'll take ten or 100 minutes to choose!

Ah! Look, Charlie, a doctor kit!

I've really always wanted a doctor kit.

Charlie!

-There.

-Thanks, Charlie.

Look, there are lots of things in it.

And it is a useful toy, too.

Because one day I might be a doctor in an actual hospital.

Do not worry, ill people, because I am a doctor.

And I can make you better.

-And you better.

-HICK!

And you.

And you.

COUGH! SPLUTTER!

Charlie, I really really want this.

We came to buy Lotta a present, not you.

But that is all right, Charlie.

I can buy the doctor kit for me and another present for Lotta

because I have lots of coins.

One, two, three, and another one.

If you do that, Lola, there'll only be a little bit of money left.

So you'd have to get Lotta something very very small and hardly there.

Hm... Ah!

Lotta will completely absolutely LOVE this bouncy ball.

Ooh!

You wanted to buy a special present. It IS her special day.

But I love this, Charlie.

If you love it so much, I'm sure Lotta will love it, too.

She IS your best friend.

Do not worry, ill people.

-Because I'm a doctor and I can make you better.

-So can I.

Yes, she can because she is a doctor, too.

Yes, because, look! I have this.

Yes, she has one of them.

A...squiggly thing.

-Huh?

-I'm going to find Dad, Charlie, and buy this doctor kit.

For Lotta.

Lovely present.

Hmph. For Lotta.

DOOR OPENS

-Er, Lola?

-Hm?

-Mum says you must get ready

and you must put your party dress on.

OK. Charlie, do you know if Soren Lorensen is invited to the party?

Yes, I'm sure he's invited if you want him to be.

'Soren Lorensen is Lola's imaginary friend. No-one else can see him.'

-You'd better hurry up.

-OK.

Now, where is Soren Lorensen?

-Hello, Lola.

-Hello, Soren Lorensen.

Mm, that's a really good present, isn't it?

-Oh... It is.

-I'd love to see all the bits.

Hm, I wonder...

Maybe we can unwrap it a little bit.

I don't think it's allowed. It's for Lotta, isn't it?

Maybe it'll be all right for you to have one little peek.

What if a very important bit is missing?

Yes, that would be terrible, wouldn't it, Lola?

-TEAR!

-Oops!

-Oh, dear.

-I think now we definitely should open it.

GROAN!

Hee hee!

-I can hear the sea.

-O-oh-h-h!

Erm, you need a bandage.

Yes, that's what I need. And maybe a cushion.

You feel very hot.

And you feel very cold.

But I can make you better.

-What you need is...

-Another bandage.

-And maybe a cushion.

-Yes, another cushion.

< Lola, Mum says five minutes.

Lola! Come on!

Ah!

But, Charlie, I have to stay here and look after Soren Lorensen

who doesn't really feel very well.

Lola, you've opened Lotta's present!

Er... Um...

It...it was an accident. We didn't mean to.

Lola, it's not nice to play with someone else's present.

I was wondering, Charlie, maybe if I could keep the present

and give Lotta something of mine.

But you wanted to give her something special.

I know that, Charlie, but I also think...

Lotta might not like the doctor kit as much as me.

She's your best friend, Lola. And you did buy it for her.

Mm, OK.

But will you help me wrap it up again?

Soren Lorensen's not that good with the wrapping.

There.

LOLA WHIMPERS QUIETLY

-Oh...

-Come on, Lola.

-Oh...

Hello, Lola.

Ah! Is that my present?

-Er... Well... It's...

-Yeah.

-Lola spent all day choosing it.

-Oh!

-Didn't you, Lola?

Yes, I did.

Here you are, Lotta.

-Gnr...

-Grr...

LOTTA GIGGLES

Happy birthday, Lotta.

Thank you.

Ah! Wow! A doctor kit!

Lola, that's what I really really wanted. Thank you!

And it's got all these little boxes.

See? And here are the bandages to wrap up all the ill people.

-And one of these and a coat.

-I'm going to put it on right now.

-Dr Lotta, he is still breathing.

-Huh?

Let me try the other knee.

Doctor, his knees are all...funny.

-Lola...

-Do not speak to the doctor, please.

(Well, you chose a good present, didn't you?)

(I know. I'm good at choosing.)

Now, will you please shush? We need more bandages, Dr Lotta.

-More bandages.

-We are doctors and we are working.

-We're very busy and important.

-I can make you better.

Hold him still, Dr Lotta.
