What If I Get Lost in the Middle of Nowhere Charlie and Lola

Charlie!

Lola?

Charlie!

THEY LAUGH

I have this little sister Lola.

-She's small and...

-Foxy, where are you?

-..and very funny.

I know you're here somewhere, but I can't find you.

Foxy is Lola's toy fox

-and she's been looking for him since yesterday.

-Foxy, Foxy, Foxy.

-Are you sure you didn't leave him in the supermarket?

-Mmm...

I would never leave Foxy in the supermarket, Charlie.

-Oh, Foxy!

-Maybe you dropped him on the way home.

I would never drop Foxy on the way home.

Oh!

Under here?

He must be here somewhere, but we just can't find him.

Oh! He's not in the toy box.

He's not in the cupboard.

And Mum says he's definitely not in the car.

He's completely disappeared

into the middle of nowhere!

Oh, I think he is lost.

I'm sure he's not lost.

-I'll help you find him...

-Thank you.

..when we get back from school. Come on, Lola.

And do you know what?

Maybe Mrs Hansen will tell us where the school trip is going to be.

-I don't want to go on the school trip, Charlie.

-Of course you do.

-You'll like it.

-But what if I get lost like Foxy?

-Where do you think we're going tomorrow?

-The zoo?

It could be, but I hope it's an art gallery.

I like looking at paintings

and sculptures - look at this one!

Oh!

-SHE LAUGHS

-Look, Charlie.

Where did they go? Charlie?

Oh, no! I'm lost.

I don't want to go to an art gallery full of sculptures.

-Why not, Lola?

-I might get lost.

Oh... But maybe we're going to visit the fishes!

Wow!

Oh, look at that one, Lotta, look at the blue one!

Lotta?

Lotta!

I don't want to go and see the fishes.

-It is very dark and you can get lost.

-Oh.

I hope it's a trip to see a castle.

-Look, over here!

-OK, Marv.

Ooh!

Charlie!

Charlie?

Hmm. Lotta, maybe we could ask Mrs Hansen if we can just stay here.

Yes, where we can not get lost.

You can't NOT go on the surprise school trip. You have to go.

No, I don't.

So, what did Mrs Hansen say?

She said it would be fun and we should not worry about getting lost.

You won't get lost, Lola. There'll be lots of teachers with us

-to make sure there's no getting lost.

-What does Mrs Finch say?

If you do get lost, all you have to do is stay still

and someone will come and find you.

-We could still get lost.

-Yes, we could.

Look, there are all kinds of things you can do so you don't get lost.

-Hmm?

-Huh?

-Er...

Well, you can always wear bright clothes so that everyone can see you.

THEY GIGGLE

And hold hands with a friend.

But what if we accidentally let go?

HE SIGHS

-There's always the whistles.

-Oh, yes! Whistles!

If you get lost, you can blow it to hear each other. There you go.

LOUD WHISTLE Lola!

But what if we're really, really far away?

You won't hear the whistles.

Hmm... Remember the story about Hansel and Gretel?

The fairy tale about the children who go into the woods?

Well, Hansel and Gretel knew how not to get lost.

They walked into the woods,

but luckily Hansel had brought some shiny white pebbles

and as they walked further and further, he dropped a pebble

at every step.

So when they decided they wanted to come back home,

they just followed the trail of shiny white pebbles

out of the deep dark woods.

So pebbles are the best way not to get lost!

Because you can use pebbles to follow the trail.

-And we must have very bright clothes...

-Whistles...

..and some pebbles!

There's one, Lotta.

- Have you got your packed lunch? - Hello, Charlie and Marv.

-Does anyone know where we're going?

-No, but the bus is here,

so we'll soon find out.

Wow! Look at that!

-What is it, Charlie?

-It's a maze, Lola.

What's a maze?

It's like a big puzzle made out of lots of hedges.

You have to try to get to the middle and when you're in the middle

you have to try to get back out.

-It's really hard and the whole idea is to get lost.

-No, no.

-What Marv is saying...

-We're not going to get lost, Charlie.

We know everything about not getting lost.

Exactly. So you can only get lost in the maze when you want to.

-Come on, Charlie, I think it's this way.

-You have to find the middle!

-See you later!

-Come on, Lotta.

-We have to find the middle.

This way...

That's another dead end!

-Oh.

-Oh.

Shall we use the whistle yet?

Why? Are we lost?

-No, we're not lost.

-We only use the whistle when we are lost.

Let's go back and do the pebbles,

-just like Hansel and Gretel.

-Just like Hansel and Gretel.

My turn.

Your turn.

Uh-oh.

-We've run out of pebbles.

-Shall I do the whistle now?

No. We're still not lost.

-Lola!

-Charlie!

-Lola!

-Where are you?

-Over here!

Over where?

Over here!

Coming! He's over here!

No, he's over here!

-CHARLIE: I'm lost!

-Don't worry, Charlie. We're coming to get you.

Charlie, I'm lost!

WHISTLING Lola! Is that you, Lola?

Marv?

Lotta?

I'm over here.

WHISTLING

-Come on, Lotta.

-Coming.

All I can see is green.

- Found you! - We're right in the middle.

-We found it!

-We're in the middle! We did it!

-We're in the middle!

-Race you back to the beginning!

-All right!

Come on, Lotta. We're not going to get lost.

Uh-oh. Dead end.

I'm going to win!

Lotta, there's another one.

-And another.

-And another one.

Marv, look, I recognise that hedge.

But it's like all the other hedges. We're definitely lost.

-We've been here before.

-Wait for me!

We're back where we started.

Come on, let's try this way.

Do you think we'll ever get out?

-Yes!

-Phew!

Where have you been? Mrs Hansen said we could have our ice creams now.

Because we have been waiting ages for you two.

Yes, completely ages.

-How did you get back?

-Didn't you get lost even a little bit?

Mm-mm. We followed the pebble trail,

just like Hansel and Gretel.

You see, we knew exactly how not to get lost.

I told you you'd enjoy the school trip and you wouldn't get lost.

Yes, I know, because I'm good at not getting lost.

SHE YAWNS

Foxy, there you are!
