But Where Completely Are We? Charlie and Lola

Charlie!

Lola?

Charlie!

-Oh! Ooh, ooh! Oh.

-Huh?

I have this little sister Lola.

What are you doing, Lola?

I'm being a tent, Charlie.

She's small and very funny.

-Who lives in tents?

-Explorers do when they go exploring.

-Exploring?!

-Yes.

It's like really exciting camping.

Oh. Why do they do exploring?

They go all over the whole world.

To hot deserts, which are all sand.

Ooh!

CAMEL GROANS

To great, big rocky canyons.

Mm! More baked beans, please.

-They even climb whole mountains for the very first time!

-We made it!

When they get to the peak they stick a flag in the top.

I'd like to be an explorer. Why don't we go now?

All the exploring places are really far away,

-and you have to take water and food for surviving.

-We can do that.

Explorers must always prepare properly.

I know. That's why I'm taking absolutely completely everything...

just in case.

Lola! How are you gonna carry all that up a mountain?

-Or run away from elephants?

-Easy-peasy.

ELEPHANTS TRUMPET

See.

-But Lola, you have to choose carefully.

-Oh, OK then.

Tent, binoculars - for spotting wild animals.

String - for tying things, notebook and pen,

-water, food and...

-Glitter!

-In case we need to do some colouring and sticking.

-Er, OK.

Ah!

Mum gave me some raisins in case we get really hungry out in the wild.

And Dad said he'll come down if we need some help with the tent.

-We won't need any help, Lola, because we're explorers.

-I know.

-Where are we going?

-We're going through blizzards...

and tropical rain.

And jump over biggish rocks!

We may even have to wade through rivers,

but we'll keep on going and going until we get there.

Where? Where are we going?

Somewhere we can have a real adventure,

-like...here!

-But where completely are we?

-I think we must be in the Amazon Rainforest.

-Ooh!

LAUGHTER

-Look at all the hundreds and hundreds of trees.

-Ooh!

Mrs Finch told us the top bit of the rainforest is called the canopy.

-Ooh!

-And on the forest floor there are lots of creepy-crawlies.

-Eugh!

Er...

Charlie!

Hm. Er...that one.

-Is this where we're going to make our rainforest camp?

-Uh-huh.

-Shall I get my tea set and some spoons?

-Why don't you find a place

-for our food that won't attract birds and tigers.

-Tigers?!

Yes. It's important not to keep your food outside your tent

in case hungry jungle animals spot it and come for a snack.

Hungry jungle animals?!

That piece goes there and this one...there!

That's a good tent. Oops!

-Can we have a little snack now?

-Good idea. I'm hungry.

LOLA SLURPS LOUDLY

-Huh?!

-Finished. Ah!

You can't do that! You have to save something to drink in the jungle.

That's OK, Charlie.

I told Mum I would need lots of pink milk if I was going exploring.

You're not supposed to bring extra extra supplies.

Oh! Would you like orange juice more instead of pink milk?

I can go and get some.

No, Lola. We can't go home every time we want something.

-Can't we?

-No. That's cheating.

-We're in a wild and faraway place, remember?

-Hm.

-And we have to find our own food.

-Oh, yes.

We can survive in the Amazon Rainforest by ourselves.

Oh!

I'll look for food and you see if you can discover

a whole new kind of plant.

All right, Charlie.

BUSH ROARS

-Argh!

-Lola, it's me!

Ooh! I thought you were a tiger.

Sorry, Lola. I was just foraging for food in the bush.

-Do you want to go back to the camp?

-Yes, then we can share the raisins.

-Are there really bears and tigers in the jungle?

-Yes, Lola.

-Oh.

Could I go upstairs quickly and get Foxy?

I think he'd like the jungle, AND he could protect us from the tigers.

I told you. We can't go home when we're exploring.

Anyway, explorers don't take toys on their adventures.

-Not even Foxy?

-Nope.

Oh.

It's raining, Charlie.

Quick! When it rains in the Amazon, it rains lots.

Better get in the tent.

Oh!

Wow! A proper rainforest storm. We could be here for days!

Oh! I don't like it when it's raining.

Mum said that if it rained, we could go back upstairs, Charlie.

Real life explorers don't go back upstairs.

LOLA SIGHS

It's raining a very lot.

-Show me the drawing of the tree you did in the jungle.

-Yes!

Oh, no! I left my drawing book and Lola tree out in the pouring rain!

It will be all wet and soggy now.

Oh!

I definitely don't like explorer camping.

It's wet and it's cold.

I DON'T LIKE IT!

Please, can we just go inside?

-Please?

-Oh!

And then, I had a really good idea.

Hurry up, Charlie!

-This'll be great!

-Yum!

Thanks, Mum. Foxy!

This'll be useful.

Ah!

There. Ta-da!

-Indoor-outdoor camping.

-YES!

I can come inside of the doors and outside of the doors.

Indoor camping. Outdoor camping.

We're really high up. It's like living in the top of the trees!

The canopy, Charlie.

-It's an actual tree house camp. A tent in a tree!

-It's a canopy camp.

I bet no-one's ever explored from a canopy camp.

It's very extremely exciting.

Shh! Lola, a jungle creature. Where? Look - up in that tree.

Tree frogs. Hop on!

PARROT SQUAWKS

-Hello, parrot.

-Hello, parrot.

Ooh, a big orangey monkey, Charlie!

They're called orang-utans.

Lots of orangey-tangs.

BOTH: Whe-e-e-e!

-Charlie!

-Whe-he-he!

-Wow!

-Ooh!

We're really good explorerers,

-aren't we, Charlie?

-Hm-hm.

-Ah!

Day one - talked to a parrot

and saw...23 orang-utans.

-Lola, when are you gonna tidy your side of the camp?

-Not now, Charlie.

-Where are you going?

-Foraging.

-Foraging for what? Giant coconuts?

-No, cheese from the fridge.

-Uh!
