0:00:01 > 0:00:04Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Catch me if you can!
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Grandpa!
0:00:17 > 0:00:19No, be careful!
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Grandpa, stop!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Wa-a-a-y!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51'Jemima and I were going to spend the day at Miss Smiley's cafe.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56'It was a special event, which was why we were both going dressed
0:00:56 > 0:01:01- 'like this.'- ..nine, ten! BOTH:- Har-r-r-r!
0:01:01 > 0:01:05You look marvellous but I hope someone will teach you to roar
0:01:05 > 0:01:09louder than that. Once more, please, pirate pupils -
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Ha-ha-har-r-r-r!- 'Yes, today we were going to be pupils at...'
0:01:17 > 0:01:20I'm surprised Miss Smiley is running a pirate school.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25She's not fierce enough to be a pirate teacher. Much too smiley!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Miss Smiley's not the teacher. She's asked a friend to help.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Not Horatio Heave-Ho?!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36'Horatio Heave-Ho has the beach hut next to ours.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41'He works in bank but what he really wants to do is be a pirate.'
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Who's a pretty boy? - 'He loves putting on pirate clothes
0:01:45 > 0:01:49'and digging for treasure. But most of all,
0:01:49 > 0:01:55- 'he loves roaring.' - Yo-ho, heave-ho, Horatio!
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- BOTH:- Heave-ho, Horatio! 'Just then, the doorbell rang.'
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- DOORBELL - That must be Miss Smiley.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04'But it wasn't Miss Smiley. It was...'
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Floyd! 'Yes, it was Floyd.'
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Heave-ho, me hearties! Miss Smiley be waiting for you
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- outside in her car.- I didn't know you wanted to learn
0:02:15 > 0:02:20- how to be a pirate.- I don't. I'm just going along to scare Horatio!
0:02:20 > 0:02:25See you later, Grandpa. Don't get up to any mischief while we're out.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I'll have a little lie-down. Have a good time.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31'I knew what Grandpa was thinking.'
0:02:31 > 0:02:35If Floyd scares Horatio, the pirate school will be a disaster.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39We've got to stop them, Jason. There's only one way I can go
0:02:39 > 0:02:41to the pirate school - if I'm small.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Catch me if you can!
0:02:47 > 0:02:50'You know what happens when Grandpa shrinks.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53'He can get into my car and make it go.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56'He can chuff about the room in my train.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00'He can fly in my toy plane
0:03:00 > 0:03:04'or he can just run around for all he's worth.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08'I'm the only one who knows about his magic shrinking cap,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11'and nobody else is supposed to find out.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16'I couldn't see Grandpa anywhere. I had to go without him.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21'But I knew he'd find his own way to get to pirate school -
0:03:21 > 0:03:25'on Gordon, my toy seagull.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28'Grandpa took off,
0:03:28 > 0:03:33'flew up the stairs and out of my bedroom window.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39'Miss Smiley had done a fantastic job of turning the cafe
0:03:39 > 0:03:41'into a pirate school.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45'There were nets and flags and a fish tank,
0:03:45 > 0:03:49'and all kinds of pirate food -
0:03:49 > 0:03:52'a treasure chest made from a loaf of bread,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54'potato sailing boats,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56'shark-infested jelly
0:03:56 > 0:04:01'and a mermaid cake! And then our teacher arrived -
0:04:01 > 0:04:03'Horatio Heave-Ho.'
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Yo-ho-ho! Heave-ho! Har-r-r-r!
0:04:06 > 0:04:10'Everyone was so busy cheering Horatio Heave-Ho
0:04:10 > 0:04:14'that nobody saw Grandpa running into the cafe,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- 'or climbing up the table leg...' - CHEERING AND CLAPPING
0:04:18 > 0:04:21'..or hiding behind the treasure-chest loaf.'
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Welcome, young ruffians, to the Sunnysands School for Pirates!
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I'm your teacher, Horatio Heave-Ho,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32and this is my assistant, Stinky.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34THEY ALL LAUGH
0:04:34 > 0:04:38But perhaps you could teach them a piratey song?
0:04:38 > 0:04:43I don't know many piratey songs. I keep forgetting the words.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Well,- I- know a piratey song.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50# How does a proper pirate go?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53# He stamps his foot and he shouts "Heave-ho!"
0:04:53 > 0:04:54# He hoists his sail on his pirate ship
0:04:54 > 0:04:57# And goes on a treasure hunting trip
0:04:59 > 0:05:02# He lands on an island far away
0:05:02 > 0:05:04# And digs and digs and digs all day
0:05:04 > 0:05:06# When he finds gold How does he go?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09# Yo-ho-ho Yo-ho-ho... #
0:05:09 > 0:05:13You've got to sing your hearts out, me hearties.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15ALL: # How does a...? #
0:05:15 > 0:05:19'Even Grandpa was roaring his heart out.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21'But Floyd had other ideas.'
0:05:21 > 0:05:24# ..And goes on a treasure hunting trip... #
0:05:24 > 0:05:26'While we were singing our hearts out...'
0:05:26 > 0:05:28# ..He lands on an island far away... #
0:05:28 > 0:05:31'..Floyd sneaked off and picked up this -
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- 'a plastic crab.'- Crab!
0:05:34 > 0:05:38'Floyd chased Horatio round and round the food table.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42'Any moment, one of them was going to spot Grandpa.'
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Help, make him stop, Miss Smiley, I'm scared of crabs.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I think they're going to nip me somewhere nasty.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Floyd, you put that crab back where you found it, please.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Oh, he's pathetic. It's only plastic.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I think it's time for a piratey picnic.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01THEY ALL CHEER
0:06:01 > 0:06:04'Grandpa had to get out of the way.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08'He jumped down and hid under the table.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11'I was pleased to see that Grandpa had escaped.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17'Floyd had taken the mermaid off the cake.'
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Not very piratey, this food, is it? Why have we got a mermaid cake?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Mermaids have nothing to do with pirates.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Floyd, put that back.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31At least you can't scare Horatio with a plastic mermaid.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Go on.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38'But Floyd was determined to scare Horatio with something else.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42'While everyone was helping themselves to the pirate picnic,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45'Floyd sneaked off to the dressing-up box.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47'He thought nobody was watching him.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50'But...he was wrong.'
0:06:50 > 0:06:55- What's that boy up to now?- 'Miss Smiley went to get chocolate sundaes
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- 'and Horatio said...'- And while we're waiting for the sundaes,
0:06:59 > 0:07:04I'll tell you all some pirate stories. Sit down and gather round.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06'So we all gathered round.'
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Boris Blackbeard...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11'All of us, except Floyd.'
0:07:11 > 0:07:15..was the wildest pirate that ever sailed the seven seas.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20He had a roar that could scare the life out of a giant.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Roar!- Aaagh!
0:07:22 > 0:07:26It's him, it's Boris Blackbeard, the bragging buccaneer.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29'Of course, everybody else
0:07:29 > 0:07:33'knew it wasn't really Boris Blackbeard, the bragging buccaneer.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39'It was Floyd. Horatio ran off and hid in the store cupboard.'
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Floyd, you're spoiling the fun, and you've upset Horatio.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- I'm telling Miss Smiley.- Me too.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51'This was a disaster. I was looking around for Grandpa
0:07:51 > 0:07:55'but I couldn't see him anywhere. And then...
0:07:55 > 0:07:59'I saw these. Grandpa had taken his clothes off
0:07:59 > 0:08:03'and was running around pirate school in his pants.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06'He was definitely up to something.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10'I decided to hide, so I could see what that something was.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14'Floyd was making for the food when somebody waved at him.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17'This time, Grandpa had gone too far.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22'He was sitting in the fish tank, dressed as a mermaid.'
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Aaagh! She waved at me.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Miss Smiley, you've got to come.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32There's a real live mermaid in the fish tank.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34'As soon as Floyd had gone,
0:08:34 > 0:08:39'I ran to the fish tank and whipped the real live mermaid out.'
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Oh...
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Oh, thanks, Jason.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Honestly, Grandpa!
0:08:43 > 0:08:48I didn't think I'd be able to hold my breath much longer.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51But it's true, I promise. She's alive.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Oh no, Floyd's coming.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I'll deal with him. You hide.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58'Floyd went straight to the fish tank,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01'but the mermaid wasn't there.'
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Coo-ee! I'm over here!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Ahh, you can talk too?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Who are you?
0:09:09 > 0:09:14I'm Melissa, the merry mermaid, with eyes of turquoise blue.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17With golden hair and a flappy tail
0:09:17 > 0:09:19and a special message for you.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23No more scaring Horatio, please.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Or roaring and stamping your feet.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Horatio may not be very brave.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31But he's ever so, ever so sweet.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36- Horatio!- 'Floyd rushed off to the store cupboard to find Horatio,
0:09:36 > 0:09:40'and I came out of my hiding place.' That was so funny, Grandpa.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Pass me a napkin, will you, Jason?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46So I promise from now on I'll be as good as gold.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50If I do one more thing wrong, you can make me walk the plank.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- It's a deal.- Please come and see the mermaid. Please.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57'While Floyd was saying sorry to Horatio,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59'Grandpa took the mermaid costume off
0:09:59 > 0:10:02'and got back into his normal clothes.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07'I re-dressed the mermaid doll and put her back on the cake.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11'Just in time, too. Horatio and Floyd were coming back.'
0:10:11 > 0:10:14She's kind of funny and talks like this.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18SQUEAKY VOICE: "I'm Melissa the merry mermaid..."
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Well, come on.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21She's on the cake.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27This is just a doll. Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:10:27 > 0:10:28What's so funny?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Full marks to you, Floyd.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35He tricked me right and proper, Miss Smiley. He tricked me.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38We'll make a pirate out of you yet, lad.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Yo-ho-ho!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42ALL: Yo-ho-ho!
0:10:42 > 0:10:47'Floyd was a bit confused. But Grandpa's job was done.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52'When pirate school was over, Grandpa flew back on Gordon
0:10:52 > 0:10:54'and Miss Smiley brought us home.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57'I ran into the house in front of Jemima,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00'just as Grandpa flew down the stairs.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05'He whipped off his shrinking cap and came back to his normal size.'
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- We did it, Jason.- It was a great pirate school, Grandpa.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Especially when Melissa stopped Floyd messing about.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Melissa couldn't have done it without you. That's what I call teamwork.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Teamwork.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19There you are, Grandpa.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23We had such a good time. We learnt masses about being a pirate,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25including this song.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- # How does a proper pirate go? - He stamps his foot and shouts...
0:11:28 > 0:11:30# Heave-ho! #
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Grandpa, you know it already?
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Anyone would think you'd been to pirate school too.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40THEY LAUGH
