0:14:05 > 0:14:07Catch me if you can!

0:14:08 > 0:14:10TYRES SCREECH

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Come down, Grandpa!

0:14:27 > 0:14:29THEY GASP

0:14:34 > 0:14:35Grandpa!

0:14:48 > 0:14:53'Since there were no visitors at the Mill on the Marsh this weekend,

0:14:53 > 0:14:57'Uncle CJ had got into Campo to go to Sunnysands.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00'He was going to buy some wool for Auntie Jules

0:15:00 > 0:15:05'because knitting was her new hobby, as you can see.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07'She knitted things for everyone.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10'Woolly hats and gloves and scarves

0:15:10 > 0:15:14'and hot water bottle covers that look like vegetables.'

0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Look at this!- Oh, that's very original, Jules.- I know.

0:15:17 > 0:15:24And these, Grandpa, these are for you. Ta-da!

0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Bed socks.- Bed socks.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Oh, but they're wonderful.- I know.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34'Yes, everything was woolly today.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38'We were spending a Day in Woolly Wonderland.'

0:15:42 > 0:15:44'We heard someone calling.'

0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Riddle-de-ree!- I know that voice.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48'It was Mr Yomper Stomper.'

0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Mr Yomper Stomper! - Mr Yomper Stomper, what a surprise!

0:15:52 > 0:15:55# Riddle-de-ree, riddle-de-ree

0:15:55 > 0:15:57# It's a rambler's life for me

0:15:57 > 0:15:59# Up in the mountains and down in the Dales

0:15:59 > 0:16:02# Rivers and waterfalls, valleys and vales

0:16:02 > 0:16:05# Yomping and stomping through England and Wales

0:16:05 > 0:16:07# Rambling and gambolling free. #

0:16:07 > 0:16:10'Mr Yomper Stomper always sings when he arrives.'

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Mrs Ostrich heard your singing.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Oh, hello, Elsie. Hello, Mrs Ostrich.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18You're always so cheerful, Mr Yomper Stomper.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Happy as a lark, me, Grandpa. Oh, and look -

0:16:20 > 0:16:24here's what I've spotted today in the way of flora and fauna.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26'Which means plants and animals.'

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Squirrel, rabbit, pine cone.

0:16:29 > 0:16:34Oh, and a small brown thingummy that might be a nut.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37This is a very good day to go on a nature ramble.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39It says in the Sunnysands Gazette

0:16:39 > 0:16:42that there is a huge caterpillar on the loose.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47Riddle-de-ree! The giant woolly carpet caterpillar.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I think it might be called that

0:16:49 > 0:16:53- cos it looks like a giant woolly carpet.- Really?

0:16:53 > 0:16:55I would love to get a photo of that.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58I could start a collection of nature ramble photos called

0:16:58 > 0:17:03Extraordinary Creepy-Crawly Things That Look A Bit Like Carpets.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06You could, Mr Yomper Stomper. What fun!

0:17:06 > 0:17:09I could easily take up rambling as a hobby.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11In fact, why don't we go outside now and see

0:17:11 > 0:17:15if we can spot the giant woolly carpet caterpillar?

0:17:15 > 0:17:18- That is a great idea. Come on, Jules.- We'll come, too.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21I bet Mrs Ostrich could find it.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24I think I'll go and watch from upstairs.

0:17:25 > 0:17:30'So we all started looking, then suddenly Mr Yomper Stomper cried...'

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Jules! Jules! Come quick!

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Something has been nibbling your Bellis perennis.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38'That's the Latin name for a daisy.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41'Mr Yomper Stomper always uses Latin names for plants.'

0:17:41 > 0:17:46Gracious! Something very hungry has been nibbling my Bellis perennis!

0:17:46 > 0:17:47I take this as a sign that

0:17:47 > 0:17:51the ginormous carpety caterpillar is on the loose...

0:17:51 > 0:17:53right here!

0:17:53 > 0:17:56'Grandpa was watching from the balcony.'

0:17:56 > 0:18:00There's a hungry caterpillar here somewhere, Grandpa!

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Find it, Elsie. Find it!

0:18:02 > 0:18:04'And just then, we did.'

0:18:06 > 0:18:09- It's here, look.- I want to get a picture! Out the way!

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I need to get a picture!

0:18:11 > 0:18:14'But the ginormous carpet caterpillar was scared.'

0:18:14 > 0:18:20Fiddle-de-fee. It's gone down the hole. All my fault. I scared him.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22I'm sure he'll be fine, Mr Yomper Stomper.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Come on. Let's go inside.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30We have to talk to Grandpa.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33'So we ran upstairs to find Grandpa.'

0:18:33 > 0:18:37Grandpa, Grandpa! The ginormous carpety caterpillar has

0:18:37 > 0:18:41- gone down the rabbit hole. - I know. I'm going to rescue him.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45- But he's gone right down. You can't reach him.- I think I will.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50- BOTH:- Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Catch me if you can!

0:18:52 > 0:18:55'When Grandpa shrinks, there's no stopping him.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00'He can hide in all kinds of tiny places.'

0:19:00 > 0:19:04'And he can get under strange things.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08'And his magic can make things go. Like the car.'

0:19:08 > 0:19:13'And Gordon the toy seagull. And our cousin Jason's plane.

0:19:13 > 0:19:18'He can even make an ostrich fly and today that's what he did.'

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Where's Grandpa?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Here he is!

0:19:23 > 0:19:29'He was on Mrs Ostrich. He took off and flew out of the window

0:19:30 > 0:19:33'And he landed in the meadow...

0:19:36 > 0:19:39'..got off and down the rabbit hole he went.'

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Ah, Mr Twitchwhiskers.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Sorry to crash in on you like this.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50You haven't seen a caterpillar

0:19:50 > 0:19:53that looks like a woolly carpet, have you?

0:19:54 > 0:19:56I'll take that as a no.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58I'll have a look down here.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02'And Grandpa set off to search for the caterpillar.'

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Caterpillar?

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Woolly caterpillar?

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Where are you?

0:20:10 > 0:20:13'Mr Twitchwhiskers followed.'

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Ah! There you are!

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Oh, and here's Mr Twitchwhiskers, too.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22He's not looking very happy.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25I think we'd better get out of here. Follow me.

0:20:28 > 0:20:33'And Grandpa showed the caterpillar the way out of the rabbit hole.'

0:20:34 > 0:20:36'We were watching from the balcony.'

0:20:36 > 0:20:38There he is!

0:20:41 > 0:20:45Come down, you two, and bring me a bed sock.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47- BOTH:- A bed sock?!

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Oh, cheer up, Mr Yomper Stomper,

0:20:53 > 0:20:55I'm sure the caterpillar will be fine.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Here, have a woolly hat.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Thank you, Jules.

0:20:59 > 0:21:00It's a lovely hat,

0:21:00 > 0:21:04but I'm still very sad I'll never see the caterpillar again.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06There, there, Mr Yomper Stomper.

0:21:06 > 0:21:07Have a woolly scarf!

0:21:07 > 0:21:09'Just then, we came in.'

0:21:09 > 0:21:12'I had the bed sock stuffed up my T-shirt.'

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Help me clear up the wool, then I can make tea.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Erm, I'm going to have one more look for the caterpillar.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19HE SOBS

0:21:19 > 0:21:20Oh, dear.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24I'll never get to see him turn into a beautiful butterfly!

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Oh, have some woolly earmuffs!

0:21:27 > 0:21:29'Just then, the phone rang.'

0:21:29 > 0:21:31PHONE RINGS

0:21:33 > 0:21:34Mill on the Marsh?

0:21:34 > 0:21:37'So Josh ran into the meadow to find Grandpa.'

0:21:37 > 0:21:39The caterpillar's gone up the tree.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42He has to be left in peace to turn into a butterfly.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Right. Brought you the bed sock. - Marvellous.

0:21:45 > 0:21:46But what's it for?

0:21:46 > 0:21:49I'm guessing Mr Yomper Stomper will want a picture?

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Yes, he's all upset.

0:21:51 > 0:21:52So now we'll get one.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55'And Grandpa crawled inside the bed sock,

0:21:55 > 0:21:59'and he looked just like the woolly carpet caterpillar.'

0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'll go and tell Mr Yomper Stomper.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06'Before long, Mr Yomper Stomper was back in the meadow

0:22:06 > 0:22:07'and very excited.'

0:22:07 > 0:22:12'He was taking loads of pictures of the woolly carpet caterpillar.'

0:22:12 > 0:22:14I love him! I just love him!

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Who is a cuddly little carpety caterpillar?

0:22:17 > 0:22:20I'm sorry I frightened you, Mr Catercarpet.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23CAMERA CLICKS AND WHIRRS

0:22:23 > 0:22:25I've had an idea.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27He can come home with me!

0:22:27 > 0:22:29I can make it up to him.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32We can be friends.

0:22:32 > 0:22:37He can live in my garden where he can turn into a beautiful butterfly.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40I'm sure he'd rather stay here.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42But he'll eat all your auntie's plants.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46'And Mr Yomper Stomper put him in his lunchbox.'

0:22:46 > 0:22:48'This was a disaster!'

0:22:50 > 0:22:54There, I'll leave the lid like that so you can get some air,

0:22:54 > 0:22:55my little woolly friend.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57'Suddenly, I had an idea.'

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Just before you go, Mr Yomper Stomper,

0:23:01 > 0:23:05can I download all the photos you've taken on to our computer?

0:23:05 > 0:23:09Of course, that way you will always remember Mr Catercarpet.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11You know what to do, Elsie. I'll be back.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Get me out of the lunchbox, Elsie.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Then there's one more thing I have to do.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22- What's that, Grandpa? - Turn into a butterfly, of course.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Lovely. See you soon, bye!

0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Did you find the caterpillar?- Yes.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Josh and Mr Yomper Stomper seemed very excited.- They are!

0:23:33 > 0:23:34They dashed upstairs.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- They're looking at the pictures. - Oh, lovely!

0:23:37 > 0:23:40I've got to rush. Got more guests coming

0:23:40 > 0:23:41so I need to make some beds up.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45'I was glad she had a job to do, because so did I.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48'I got some material out of the bits and bobs box

0:23:48 > 0:23:51'and some pipe cleaners.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53'Then I ran back outside.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57'And, very soon, Grandpa looked like this.'

0:23:58 > 0:24:01'He was an extraordinary butterfly!'

0:24:01 > 0:24:04- How do I look, Elsie?- Amazing!

0:24:04 > 0:24:07'Then Mr Yomper Stomper came outside.'

0:24:07 > 0:24:11Josh is printing the pictures for me. How exciting!

0:24:11 > 0:24:13'Mr Yomper Stomper picked up the lunchbox...'

0:24:13 > 0:24:16'..and saw that the caterpillar had gone!'

0:24:16 > 0:24:20Fiddledy-fee! I've lost him again!

0:24:20 > 0:24:22No you haven't, look!

0:24:23 > 0:24:28He's turned into a butterfly! I had no idea it could happen so quickly!

0:24:28 > 0:24:32How lovely! He looks for all the world like something I knitted!

0:24:32 > 0:24:34I am so happy!

0:24:34 > 0:24:36It would be cruel to catch him know.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Can he stay in your garden, Jules? - He certainly can -

0:24:39 > 0:24:42now he's not going to eat everything!

0:24:42 > 0:24:43Well, I must be away.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46Climb another mountain, ford another stream.

0:24:46 > 0:24:50I might even see another carpety caterpillar, who knows?!

0:24:50 > 0:24:52'And off went Mr Yomper Stomper.'

0:24:52 > 0:24:55'And in went Auntie Jules.'

0:24:55 > 0:24:58'And down flew Grandpa.'

0:24:58 > 0:24:59Let's get you out of there.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04'And I picked him up very carefully and ran inside.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08'We got Grandpa out of his butterfly costume...'

0:25:08 > 0:25:10'..and put him down on the floor.'

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Cap off, quick!

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Well, we made Mr Yomper Stomper happy.

0:25:16 > 0:25:17Can't have him upset, can we?

0:25:17 > 0:25:21- You were an amazing caterpillar. - And a fantastic butterfly!

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Couldn't have done it without you two!

0:25:23 > 0:25:25What do we call it?

0:25:25 > 0:25:27ALL: Teamwork!

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Grandpa, did you spot the butterfly?

0:25:29 > 0:25:32It was the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen!

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Couldn't agree with you more, Jules. Gorgeous!

0:25:37 > 0:25:39THEY LAUGH

0:25:55 > 0:25:57ALL: Teamwork!
