0:14:02 > 0:14:04Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Catch me if you can!
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Come down, Grandpa!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Grandpa!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51'Uncle CJ, Auntie Jules and Josh had gone out for the day,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53'so I was with Grandpa.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55'We were playing with my doll's house
0:14:55 > 0:14:58'that used to belong to Mr Whoops.'
0:14:58 > 0:15:02This is the butler. He welcomes visitors and takes care of them.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03We should have a butler.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07That would be good. And what can I do for you, Miss Elsie?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10A glass of orange juice and a jammy jumbly, please.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13LAUGHTER
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- I have a box of more doll's things upstairs!- Right.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19'Then, guess who turned up?'
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Coo-ee!- Oh, no!
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Only me!
0:15:23 > 0:15:26'It was Great Aunt Loretta, Grandpa's sister.'
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Are you all by yourself? Good job I popped in to keep you company.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Yes(!)
0:15:31 > 0:15:33'Then, the phone rang.'
0:15:33 > 0:15:34I'll get it.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Loretta speaking, how many I help you? You're kidding me?!
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Shiny gold stars? Yes, Mr Dinky!
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Ooh! Hoo-hoo! You can come round right now!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Well, what is it? Who's Mr Dinky?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54He's from the Sunnysands tourist office.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55He's coming to inspect us
0:15:55 > 0:15:59to see whether we deserve some shiny gold stars!
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Excellent! We should get at least three, maybe even five.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08I think we deserve more than that. I can see rows and rows of them.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10We'll be like those big hotels.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13'Today, Great Aunt Loretta was dreaming of
0:16:13 > 0:16:18'hundreds and hundreds of shiny gold stars!'
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Now, if we're going to be like those big hotels,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24then we need to make some big changes.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26What do you mean, big changes?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Well, big hotels have big things in them.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Big, bright things!
0:16:31 > 0:16:34We need to get rid of all the scruffy little things.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37And that includes you!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- Shoo-shoo-shoo!- Poor Wulfy!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- That's not fair.- And you, Grandpa.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- We can't have little old men cluttering up the place.- Let me go!
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- I'll let you go when Mr Dinky's gone.- (Get my cap. It's upstairs.)
0:16:49 > 0:16:53'I knew why Grandpa needed his cap, so he could shrink.'
0:16:53 > 0:16:55In you go, Grandpa.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Have a little lie-down.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I locked him in. I think it's for the best.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07'Great Aunt Loretta put the key to Grandpa's room in her bag.'
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Come along, Elsie, to the Pigsty! There's a lot of work to be done.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15'So I had to go to Great Aunt Loretta's Pigsty,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17'which is where she lives,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20'and put all her stuff in the sitting room.'
0:17:20 > 0:17:26There! Now, if this doesn't get us lots of shiny gold stars,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I'll eat my cardigan.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Everything's so big and...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Beautiful! Just like the big hotels.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37'Then the doorbell went.'
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Ooh! That'll be Mr Dinky now.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Oh, stand up straight, Elsie. You need to look big, too.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48'While she went to let the hotel inspector in,
0:17:48 > 0:17:53'I grabbed Grandpa's cap and got the key to his room.'
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- May I present Mr Dinky!- Hello.
0:17:57 > 0:18:03This is Mr Dinky, who's come to give us lots of shiny gold stars.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07'This was my chance to get Grandpa out of his room.'
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Golly gosh! Everything in this room is very big.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Oh, yes, sir, Mr Dinky, sir.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Ooh, yes. That's our motto. Big is beautiful!
0:18:18 > 0:18:22So, how many shiny gold stars for our decoration?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- None.- None?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27'But Great Aunt Loretta wasn't giving up.'
0:18:27 > 0:18:31You stay right there, sir, Mr Dinky, sir. I'll be straight back.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34'She left Mr Dinky to have a good look round.'
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Too big! Way too big!
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Well done, Elsie! How are things going with Mr Dinky?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Any shiny gold stars?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48No. Great Aunt Loretta's sure he likes big things.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I think she's got it wrong.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Wouldn't be the first time. Sounds like she needs help.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55The only way to do that is by being small.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Catch me if you can!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05'You know what happens when Grandpa shrinks.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08'He runs and jumps about all over the place.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11'And I can never catch him.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13'He loves driving Jason's toy car.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19'And the Sunnysands train.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23'Sometimes he gets into Josh's helicopter
0:19:23 > 0:19:26'and flies all around the room.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30'But today, he only needed to get upstairs,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33'so I put him in my pocket.'
0:19:34 > 0:19:35That's quite big.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38'Mr Dinky was busy looking at everything.'
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Enormous!
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Oh, no! What has she done to the place?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Gigantic!
0:19:47 > 0:19:49That's so big, I need some fresh air!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52'He rushed to the balcony.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57'As soon as Mr Dinky had gone, I took Grandpa out of my pocket.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01'Then I put the key back in Great Aunt Loretta's bag.'
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Loretta has got it wrong. Mr Dinky doesn't like big things at all.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I expect he only likes little things.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Oh, no! We'll never get any shiny gold stars now!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Oh, yes, we will.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17But I've got to think of a plan.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20'But just then, Great Aunt Loretta came back.'
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Here we are, Mr Dinky, sir. Where is he?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24On the balcony. He's not feeling good.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27It's a good job I made some green gloop
0:20:27 > 0:20:30and a giant mackerel and cold custard baguette!
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Yum!
0:20:35 > 0:20:39It's OK, Elsie, I've thought of a plan. But I want your help.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42So, how many shiny gold stars
0:20:42 > 0:20:46for my big glass of delicious, home-made green gloop?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52'Mr Dinky poured the gloop into the pot plant.'
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- None.- Well!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58How many shiny gold stars
0:20:58 > 0:21:02for my giant mackerel and cold custard baguette?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05'He threw it off the balcony.'
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- None.- Well, I never!
0:21:07 > 0:21:11You're impossible to please, you are! I give up!
0:21:14 > 0:21:17'Great Aunt Loretta started packing up.'
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I'm taking everything back to my Pigsty.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24I've had enough of that Mr Dinky and his shiny gold stars!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27'All this time, we were busy with Grandpa's plan.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30'Decorating one of the guestrooms
0:21:30 > 0:21:32'with little things from my doll's house.'
0:21:32 > 0:21:37- Perfect! Now, you go and get Mr Dinky. You know what to say?- Yes.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- What are you going to do, Grandpa?- You'll see.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42'I ran onto the balcony.'
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Excuse me, Mr Dinky,
0:21:45 > 0:21:49would you like to see one of the guest bedrooms? It's quite small.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54Is it? Well, in that case, perhaps I'll take a teeny, tiny peek.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01'So I led Mr Dinky to the guestroom.'
0:22:07 > 0:22:11This is our room of little things.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's beautiful! I love it!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19'I left Mr Dinky to have a good look around.'
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Small!
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Tiny!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Teeny tiny!
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Welcome to Mill on the Marsh, sir.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Golly gosh! A little butler!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42'Of course, really, it was Grandpa.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45'He'd dressed up in the butler doll's clothes.'
0:22:45 > 0:22:48You're the smallest butler I've ever met!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Thank you, sir. Small is beautiful.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52That is our motto.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56It's my motto, too! I love all these little things!
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Perhaps sir would like to give them a shiny gold star.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Oh, I would! Lots of them!
0:23:04 > 0:23:10'And Mr Dinky started sticking shiny gold stars on all the little things.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12'Grandpa's plan had worked!'
0:23:15 > 0:23:21Would sir care for a little lie-down now? A little snooze perhaps?
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Oh, yes. A little snooze would be perfect. Thank you.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28'So Mr Dinky lay down on the bed.'
0:23:31 > 0:23:35(Let's leave him now. I'll get changed and meet you in the kitchen.)
0:23:35 > 0:23:37(OK.)
0:23:40 > 0:23:43'I went back to the sitting room.'
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Where's the dreadful Mr Dinky?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- Having a little lie-down.- Huh!
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Oh, that reminds me, I suppose I'd better let Grandpa out.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- No! It's OK. I'll do it.- Oh.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Ooh!
0:23:59 > 0:24:03'Grandpa crept into the room, ran cross the floor
0:24:03 > 0:24:05'and jumped into Upsy-Downsy.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07'And down he went.'
0:24:09 > 0:24:12PING!
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Cap off, Grandpa, quick!
0:24:15 > 0:24:18We did it, Elsie! Shiny gold stars galore.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Teamwork, I call it!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Yes, Grandpa, teamwork!
0:24:22 > 0:24:24THEY LAUGH
0:24:24 > 0:24:27'We went back upstairs to wait for Mr Dinky
0:24:27 > 0:24:29'to finish his little snooze.'
0:24:29 > 0:24:33That was a wonderful little snooze!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36And this room looks much better
0:24:36 > 0:24:38now you've got rid of all the big things!
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Don't you like big things? - I hate big things.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Well, you might've said!
0:24:44 > 0:24:49This is far and away the best little hotel in Sunnysands!
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Ho! It's so small, it's divine!
0:24:54 > 0:24:58And as for your little butler, I could've put him in my pocket!
0:24:58 > 0:25:03- Little butler? What little butler? - Never mind, Loretta.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Shiny gold star for you,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09and you, and you!
0:25:09 > 0:25:14Shiny gold stars for everyone and everything!
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Oh, thank you, Mr Dinky.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19The Mill on the Marsh is very proud.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24I must be off. Lots more hotels to visit. Goodbye!
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Goodbye!- Bye, Mr Dinky. - Bye!- Bye!- Bye!
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Whoo! Hoo-hoo-hoo! You see? Ha-ha!
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I told you we'd get hundreds!
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Mind you, he was bonkers.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Little butler indeed!
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Teamwork!
