THEY LAUGH

15, 16, 17,

18, 19, 20!

Ooh!

Yep. See the master at work!

Ooh!

Is everything all right, Oakley?

Ooh, I've got a tingling in my leaves.

Ooh, there's a storm coming.

Um, a storm? Ooh!

-With lots of thunder and lightning?

-Of course.

-Yay!

Oh! I wish I could shelter you from the storm.

I'll be fine. Storms freshen the air

and give me plenty of water to drink.

Yes, but the clouds sound very angry when there's thunder.

Rumble, rumble, rumble.

-Ka-boom!

-Oh!

They aren't angry. Thunder's just a big noise that's made

when lightning heats the air.

You shouldn't stay near trees in a storm, Holly. It's safer inside.

That's right.

Much better to watch the storm from indoors, all cosy and dry.

Holly, we haven't finished playing.

No time to play today, Rosie.

-Ah, must fly. Busy day ahead.

-Aren't you forgetting something?

Oh. Thanks for the snack.

Can't beat a bit of fruit and some nuts and more fruit.

Not that, look at this!

-It's not very good manners to leave a mess like this.

-Oh. Erm, sorry.

Excuse me, I have excellent manners.

I'm the most polite bird around.

Eh?! No-one's more polite than me.

You missed a bit.

Thank you so much for telling me, Teal.

Sorry I rushed off, Rosie. It's just I had a lot to do.

So I see. Holly, why have you made all this food?

I can't shelter Oakley,

but I can look after everyone else when the storm comes.

-I'm going to invite you all to a big tea party.

-Good idea!

So we can all be safe and cosy while we watch the storm.

I think it's going to rain.

Time to fetch everyone!

Come over to our house, Raggles. Don't worry about the storm.

Ow! What? I'm not worried.

That's right. We'll be fine if we all stick together.

I love storms, especially thunder when it goes boom!

-Oh!

-Yeah, but the best bit is when it goes crack, ka-bam!

We'll meet you there. I've got sandwiches, Raggles, and cake.

Cake?! What are we waiting for?

You know what good manners I have, Oakley.

I never quack before sunrise, unlike some I could mention.

And I don't wiggle my soggy tail feathers

-and splash everyone.

-Oh!

Please, Oakley, just decide.

-Who's more polite? Me?

-Or me?

Um, er...

-I'll protect you from the storm!

-Oh!

Come on, everyone. No need to be afraid.

-Why should we be afraid?

-It's only an old storm.

-You can shelter at my house.

-And by the way, there's a tea party.

A tea party? How lovely!

A bird must have very good manners at a tea party.

They must indeed.

-And my manners are the best in the garden.

-We'll see about that!

I would be delighted to attend.

Good. See you there.

Be brave, Oakley.

Shelter?! But I've got my den.

-Come with us, you might get afraid.

-But, Holly, I'm not afraid.

Juice and sandwiches, Big Bear.

-Ooh-ooh! Honey sandwiches?

-Double-decker honey sandwiches.

Oh!

Oh, will you be all right, Saffie?

Oh, I've weathered many storms, Holly.

I've just felt a drop of rain.

Oh!

Holly, sometimes the things we are most afraid of come from within us.

Does everyone have enough juice?

Yes. Thank you so much.

-So very, very much.

-Do be careful, Teal.

It wouldn't be good manners to leave crumbs.

Yay! I just saw some wicked lightning!

Oh, dear!

Ah! One elephant,

two elephant, three elephant,

four elephant, five elephant, six elephant...

Big Bear, what are you doing?

..nine elephant, ten elephant...

THUNDER RUMBLES

I count the seconds between the lightning and thunder.

If I count a smaller number next time,

it means the storm's moving closer.

One elephant, two elephant,

-three elephant, four elephant...

-Did you see that, Holly? Holly?!

THUNDER RUMBLES

I'm so terribly sorry. You've made a very, very jammy mess, Bluebird.

Holly?

Holly! Quick! You're missing the storm.

-Are you the one who's scared of storms?

-Yes!

Oh, Holly!

You'll be safe indoors. There's nothing to be scared of.

But the noise is scary, Rosie. I wish it would stop!

It will in a minute.

Maybe it'll be less scary if you come and watch.

14 elephant, 15 elephant, 16 elephant,

17 elephant, 18 elephant.

Ooh! 19! I only counted to ten between the lightning

-and the thunder last time.

-What does that mean?

The storm's moving away.

Oh. I think it's saying goodbye.

Thank you so much for letting me have the last sandwich, Teal.

I'm dreadfully sorry, but I saw it first.

THEY SQUAWK

Ladies!

Manners, please!

Look! The sun's coming out again!

Oakley! I must see how he is.

Oh! Was it very scary out here all alone in the storm?

Not at all. I love storms.

Oh, but if only they came more often.

The wind in my leaves, the cool rain running down my bark.

Oh, Oakley!

I wish I could cheer you up.

Well, maybe you can do just that. Come with me, Holly.

Are we ready? Lightning.

Lightning, check.

And rain.

Yep, we have rain.

Good. rumbly thunder and clashing thunder.

Hop to rumbly thunder!

Great! Erm, clashing thunder?

You both have superb manners.

Now can we please have clashing thunder for Oakley?

-You first, Teal.

-No, after you, Bluebird.

Let Oakley's special storm begin!

LAUGHTER

THEY IMITATE THUNDER CRASHING

Now this is what I call a storm!

Thanks, everyone.

-Rosie.

-What's wrong, Holly?

Nothing. I'm not scared of storms any more.

Thank you, Oakley.

Louder. Louder, louder, louder!

HIS STOMACH RUMBLES

-Whoops!

-Have you got some rumbly thunder in your tummy, Raggles?

Ooh, yes. I'm hungry. Can you make me a snack, please, Rosie?

Of course. I'll need the tray.

I'd like jam, please. Raspberry. No, strawberry.

No, marmalade. Oh!

Did I surprise you, Raggles?
