Everything is Different and Not the Same Charlie and Lola

Charlie!

Lola?

Charlie!

Oh, oh!

I have this little sister Lola.

-Uh!

-She's small.

-There.

-And very funny.

These are my most brand-newest and warmest woolly tights.

Today is the first day of the new autumn term

-and Lola's getting ready.

-And this is my newest and warmest autumn hat.

It's different from my old stripy hat

cos it does keep your ears warm as well.

You can have them up or down.

Or...you can just keep one ear warm too.

THEY CHUCKLE

Look at my new "I'm going back to school" pencil case.

-SHE SIGHS

-Mum bought it for me.

-Woo!

-I can wait to show it to Lotta.

Mrs Hanson will like it too.

It's very nice, Lola.

Look! My new Space Family Hudson lunchbox has a space flask in it.

It's very nice, Charlie.

But my new pencil case is more nicer

because it's got lots of especially important things in it.

This is my new magic pen

which does all of the colours in the whole rainbow.

This is my bendy ruler!

Woo-hoo!

And this is my sticky, sparkly tape.

And this... Oh, what IS this, Charlie?

I'm not sure. I think it's got something to do with maths.

Oh. Whee-ee!

I'm going to ask Mrs Hanson what it is.

Ahh!

Oh!

Everything needs to be

exactly, extremely right,

going back to school.

Ohh... Um...

Charlie? My new shoe-lace shoes

are a bit different to my old school shoes,

-and I can't do tying properly yet.

-You'll get used to them. Look...

Over the top,

and down below, make a loop,

and away you go.

Oh. Over the top and down below,

make a loop and away you go.

Well done, Lola!

LOLA SINGS HAPPILY

Oh! The trees have gone all different.

Yes, autumn makes the leaves change colour, then they fall off.

Oh. But I like the leaves being ON the trees, Charlie.

Why do they have to fall off?

-Hello, Charlie.

-Hello, Marv.

-I can't wait for the autumn fair.

-Shall we do a conker stall again?

-Can't we do something different?

-What's a conker?

-You know what a conker is, Lola.

-Mm-mm.

-Conkers are the best thing that happen in autumn.

-Or maybe the best thing all year.

-Nearly!

Nearly almost.

This is my biggest one.

What's it for?

It's a champion conker, for winning more conkers!

-Oh.

-It's also a seed for growing a tree.

Oh, yeah. It's also a seed for growing a very big tree

called a horse chestnut tree.

See?

Ah.

Oh, lovely.

But I don't want to be a conker champion.

I'm going to get lots more and make a necklace.

-We could do something completely different, Marv.

-Conkers!

-Ah.

-Ah.

-Hello!

-Lola!

LOLA GIGGLES

Lotta, look at my new pencil case.

Ooh!

Oh, I like it. But it is different from your old one, Lola.

And do you like my new autumny scarf?

I like your old stripy scarf.

Yes, it is a bit different,

and ever so, a little itchy.

LOTTA CHUCKLES

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

-What's that?

-It's the new school bell.

It doesn't sound like Mrs Hanson's clangy bell.

I like the clangy bell.

You're sitting at OUR desk.

-No, this is OUR desk!

-Yes, we always sit here.

-We got new desks this term. You're sitting over there.

-Hmm?

I hope I'm still next to you, Lola.

Why has it all changed?

Our new desk is funny.

-LOLA SNIFFS

-It even smells funny.

Actually, I think the whole school smells different this term.

BOTH SNIFF

-Ssh! Mrs Shoring is coming.

-Who is Mrs Shoring?

She's the new Mrs Hanson.

But where is the old Mrs Hanson?

-Hmm.

-Mrs Hanson is gone?!

No Mrs Hanson?!

I call this one "my super smasher".

-Jump!

-Hello, Lola. Did Mrs Hanson tell you about the autumn fair?

It's not Mrs Hanson any more. It's Mrs Shoring.

She uses a green pen, not a red one.

And she doesn't even know my name.

Mrs Shoring wants us to do an autumn tree picture.

That sounds good, Lola.

We don't know which sort of picture Mrs Shoring wants. Prr! Ugh!

Ssh! A squirrel.

(What's he doing?

(He's hiding nuts for the winter.

(Squirrels bury nuts in autumn to eat when there's no food.)

Ow!

Oh, my new autumny scarf

is all itchy! Itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy.

Hey, Marv, we can bury something at the autumn fair,

-like squirrels do.

-Conkers!

Or we COULD bury something different

-like...

-I've got it.

-My brother Marty buried a time capsule last year.

-What's that?

A time capsule is where you put things in it and then you hide it

and then in the future, trillions of years away,

the future people dig it up and open it,

and they can see how different things are from now.

ALL: Hmm?

Er...

Hmm?

Hmm?

Oh?

Erm...?

Hmm?

ALL: Um...

We could put autumn things in ours.

Future people can see if autumn has changed.

Oof! I know. You can have my scarf to put in your time scap-tule.

I don't think your mum would be very pleased if we buried it.

-Oh!

-Charlie, you still haven't said

what we should do for our autumn picture.

Well, um... BELL RINGS

-Oh!

-Come on, we've got to go.

-See you later, Lola.

Oof!

-Oh, that's good!

-No, it's not. Mrs Shoring didn't like it.

Yes, she did. She said it was lovely,

but maybe you could do it a little bit bigger.

Mrs Hanson likes small trees,

but it might be more better if we do a huger one, Lotta.

Mm-hm.

Mmm. Eee!

-There you are.

-Oh, look, it's all new, Lola!

Yes, I'm going to keep it absolutely tidy and clean.

Ah!

It's a lovely new workbook!

LOTTA GIGGLES

-But it's different to the ones we had last term.

-They were better,

-because of the blue lines, not black.

-And they were bigger apart.

I'm still going to keep mine absolutely tidy.

THEY LAUGH

-LOLA GASPS

-Oh, no!

-Look!

-I've got a star from Mrs Shoring.

-Wow!

-Mrs Shoring gives out special stars?!

-Yes.

-What's it for?

-Handing out the books nicely.

We have to get a star, Lotta,

-for doing the most specialist autumny tree picture.

-Yes, yes, yes!

-Um...

-Um...

How did your first day back at school go, Lola?

Mrs Shoring wants a picture of an autumn tree,

which is big and very special.

Hmm.

LOLA TUTS AND SIGHS

My new tights keep crinkling down.

I liked my old tights,

and my shoelace has come undone.

It's all because of autumn.

Everything is different and not the same.

-Here.

-Why can't it still be summer, Charlie?

That's what happens. Everything changes in autumn.

That's what autumn's about. Animals have to do different things.

Lots of animals get ready to hibernate in autumn.

They eat lots of food...

and then they go to sleep in a warm nest for the whole winter.

That's hibernating.

Oh!

Oooh!

LOLA LAUGHS And they don't wake up till spring.

HEDGEHOG SQUEAKS

And ladybird all huddle together to keep warm when they hibernate.

I'd like to hiding-ate with the ladybirds

because then I could miss all of autumn completely.

-Well, you can't, Lola.

-Oh.

Oh, Charlie! My favourite tree!

It's got no leaves.

Don't worry, tree, I'll fix you.

They'll grow back again in spring.

Oh.

LOLA SIGHS

Oh! I know, we can make our autumn tree picture with actual leaves.

That's definitely very special.

Hurry up, Charlie. I have to tell Lotta. Now, now, now!

GIRLS GIGGLE

-There! This is the biggest leaf pile we've ever made.

-Yes, it is.

Come on, Lotta.

Whee!

Whee!

LOLA GIGGLES

LOTTA GIGGLES

-You can carry all these.

-Whoo!

-Maybe we have enough now.

-Yes, I think this is very enough.

Er, what are we doing?

We're collecting autumn things for our time capsule.

Have you found anything?

Er, you can have my orange sweets.

What's that got to do with autumn?

It's orange and orange is an autumny colour, I think.

Er, thanks, Morton.

-You can have these.

-Oh, what are they?

Stick-insect eggs. My stick insects lay their eggs in autumn.

Come on.

They don't look very interesting.

By the time the future people find our time capsule,

-the stick-insect eggs might have hatched.

-Oh!

And they might have grown ginormous.

THEY GASP

BOYS LAUGH

I think you should put a poem about autumn

because I've written one.

Hm-hm!

"Hello, autumn

"Autumn is leaves and lovely fruitiness

"Autumn is friendly like the sun

"Autumn is harvest with apples and nuts

"Autumn is all the colours too..."

-Is that the end?

-I haven't finished yet.

"Autumn is orangey-red, orangey-brown

"Brownish-yellow, yellowy purple and purpley-brown

"Goodbye, autumn!" The end.

There you are. MY poem.

Hm-hm. Thank you.

CHARLIE LAUGHS

-Ah, look!

-Lola, should we finish our picture somewhere else,

-cos all the harvest food's in the way?

-No, Lotta.

We always do cutting and sticking on the kitchen table.

Ah, look, a beautiful leafy autumn tree.

Made out of actual leaves!

Ooh! Miss Shoring will think this is a very special leaf picture.

Have you got anything autumny to put in our time capsule?

-We're burying it at the fair.

-Oh, yes.

-You can have this, Charlie, it's a special autumn leaf.

-Thanks, Lola.

More leaves... Pchoo, pchoo, pchoo.

Lola, shouldn't you do your picture somewhere different?

No, Charlie, I don't want to do it anywhere different.

OK...

-Pchoo, choo-choo...

-Careful, Lola.

Last one. There!

Ah...

SPLODGE!

-Oh, no!

-Oh, dear. Now it looks like a cake-splodge picture.

Everything's going wrong.

Mmm... Don't worry, Lola. We'll just have to start again.

There's loads of leaves outside. Remember...

Oh... OK, then.

This time capsule's great.

What will the future people do when they find it?

Hm...

THEY GIGGLE

Hm...

Hah!

Hm?

Um...

Autumn leaves... Hah!

RUSTLING

PLAYS SQUEAKY TUNE THEY GIGGLE

THEY LAUGH

Brilliant!

Oh, watch this!

-THEY LAUGH

-Yay!

Come on, let's look in the shed before it gets dark.

Oh... Where are all our leaves?!

They've blown everywhere. Quick!

Oh, I can't catch them, Lola.

Ooh!

Autumn's gone all wrong. Everything is different and not the same.

LOLA SIGHS

LOTTA SIGHS

GIGGLING Lola, Lotta!

Ssh!

I've brought you both some pink milk.

Why won't you come out?

We're hiding-gating.

Why are you hibernating? Only animals are supposed to do that.

-Lotta and me are not coming out until spring.

-Yep.

Everything is different and wrong in autumn, Charlie.

It is different but things change all the time, Lola.

Autumn is already changing into winter, then winter into spring.

Spring will change into summer. That all happens.

You'll get used to things being different, if you just come out!

No!

You'll get hungry!

No, we won't! We've brought all the harvest food with us! Into our nest!

Hm. If you hibernate till spring, you'll miss Christmas.

Tell us when it's Christmas and we'll come out, just for then.

Or you could come out now so you don't miss the autumn fair either.

I don't want to go. Our autumny picture is all ruined

and all the leaves have gone.

Hm. I did keep the leaf you gave me for the time capsule.

We need lots of leaves to make our picture special, Charlie.

I know a way to make lots more leaves. I'll show you if you like.

Hm... OK!

-Leaf prints!

-Oh, that's good!

I like that one!

-Look at the different colours!

-Oh, yes! Can I have a go?

I've got lots of other things too!

Pine cones, acorns and some conkers!

Lola, look!

Wheee!

And then we bury the time capsule,

so in thousands of years, the future people

will see if autumn has changed from today.

Where's your scarf, Lotta?

Don't tell anyone but I hid it in the time capsule!

Come on! The autumn fair is about to start!

ASSORTED CHATTER

I LOVE toffee apples!

Ever so sticky, Lola!

Welcome to our autumn harvest!

Look, Charlie! Mrs Shoring gave us an actual star!

She said our autumn picture was very special indeed.

It's a very BIG picture!

Very big and very, very special!

Autumn, autumn, autum-m-mn. # Ah, it's autumn... #

Autumn, autumn, autumn...

-Autumn...

-Autumn, autumn, autumn...

-Autumn...

-Autumn!

-But what about your crinkling new tights?

-I completely like them now!

Mrs Shoring is actually very nice.

As nice as Mrs Hanson even.

Even MORE nicer! Well, maybe...

-Autumn, autumn, autumn...

-I thought you didn't LIKE autumn!

-Cos everything changes!

-I've changed my mind!
