Puddle Muddle Iconicles

# Let me take you to a world that I've seen

# My best invention the Iconi-Screen

# They're friends and animals The Iconicles

# So come along with me and I'll tell you more

# Iconicles

# There's Rumple and Miss Moo Splish and Splash and Skitter too

# I'll show you their worlds The Iconicles

# I just can't wait for you to meet them all... #

-Ho-ho!

-Ha-ha!

-He-he!

# Iconicles, Iconicles. #

Oh, hi there.

I've been having some trouble with my Iconi-Screen.

It's switching off when it should be on.

There's a problem with a part in the polar moduliser...

Um...module polariser. Um...this box thingy.

Luckily, I've got this special instrument to fix it.

It shows green when everything's OK and amber when something's wrong.

Time to see what's going on. There we are.

OK.

There's the problem!

Time to fix it.

WHIRRING AND BEEPING

Green is good. Looks like it's fixed the problem.

There we are.

If you want something to work properly, you need to look after it.

Slide this in there...

BLEEPING

# With a wave of my hands Let's explore

# Wonderful lands never seen before

# The Iconi-Screen My most amazing machine

# The I I-I Iconi-Screen

# Wild Wilderness Around the garden bench

# Down on the farm and by The Water's Edge

# Guess which Iconicle is coming to play

# Can you guess which world we'll visit today? #

Seems to be OK.

Now, who should I choose to test the power of the Iconi-Screen?

Rumple.

His charge should test out the power of the Iconi-Screen perfectly.

Oh-ho-ho-ho!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Ho-ho-ho!

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

Whoa, Rumple! Am I glad to see you!

Aren't you always?

Of course! But this time I'm especially glad,

because it means my Iconi-Screen is working at full power again. See!

-Oh, look.

-Mmm. Where's she off to?

-Let's have a look, shall we?

Ah!

There.

Hmm.

Well done, Miss Moo.

One last leaf in the pile and my field is finally tidy.

Elvis will be pleased.

-Miss Moo!

->

Miss Moo, we have a big problem.

Hmm. Don't worry, Elvis.

Miss Moo has finished collecting up all the slippery leaves.

It's quite safe for you to walk on now.

No!

The leaves aren't the problem, Miss Moo.

There's a big muddy puddle in your field.

And...?!

And one of the smaller animals could fall into it at any moment.

If they do, they'll get very muddy and wet and...

they might get stuck.

Don't worry, Elvis.

Miss Moo will work out what to do.

Coming up with a plan to solve problems like this

is a particular skill of mine.

Puddles, puddles, puddles...

There must be an answer to this puddle problem.

Think, Miss Moo.

Think!

-HE WHINNIES

-I think we should sing a song.

A song? What has that got to do with puddles?

Well...when I was little, I made up a puddle-problem song

so I could remember not to step into muddy puddles.

I thought we could teach it to everyone and...

SHE LAUGHS

You are funny, Elvis.

I don't think a song is the best way of fixing this problem.

Let's think.

But I have thought.

Listen...

# Beware, beware There's a puddle over there... #

HE CHUCKLES

Oh...

Yes! I think I have a plan which might fix this problem.

What?

Slippery leaves!

Huh?! Where? Where?

Hurry, Elvis. I'll need your help.

Hmm. Quack-a-lack-a-doo!

Ah, hello there, you gorgeous ducky.

You are looking very, very handsome today.

Ahh.

Ooh.

A-ha!

Ha...

Perfection! Hmm...

Look out, Dapper.

Ohh! Ah-spl-rrt-tt! Ohh!

Hey! What's the big idea?

The big idea, Dapper, is to stop anybody falling into

that big muddy puddle.

My song would do it.

# Beware, beware There's a puddle over there

# Beware, beware There's a puddle over there. #

Please! Puddles like this one need solutions, not songs,

and this is one of my better solutions...

if I do say so myself.

PUDDLE BUBBLES

Oh! Miss Moo!

Uh! There is more than one way to fix a problem, Elvis.

We just need to find out what it is.

So, what do you think of Miss Moo's plan?

Well, leaves might support a small, light creature like Dapper,

but a bigger, heavier animal like me would sink straight through.

Hmm. It might not be the best plan Miss Moo's ever had.

Unlike my brilliant repair job on the Iconi-Screen.

WHOOSHING

Oh, dear.

Oh, no!

The screen's not fixed after all.

Hmm. Must try that again. Ooh!

-Careful where you put your hooves, Rumple.

-Sorry, Nat.

Plug this up. Here we go.

Oh, no!

Amber!

Oh, I know what that means. Do you?

I think I can get the screen working again, just not at full power,

which means...

-you can't go back to the Wild Wilderness just yet, Rumple.

-What?!

HE HARRUMPHS

But it'll be fun if you stick around for longer than normal.

What do you think?

HE HARRUMPHS

Are you OK, Rumple?

You seem a bit... I dunno. ..fidgety.

Hmm. I've got an itch and it really needs to be scratched.

I've got the perfect invention for that.

Ta-da!

Nat's special super-turbo hi-tech back-scratcher.

No harm in giving it a try, I suppose.

-All right, then. Ready, set...

-BACK-SCRATCHER SQUEAKS

Oh, I don't like the sound of that at all, Nat.

My own scratching post doesn't make such a terrible noise.

-That's what I really need to fix this itch.

-But hey,

we can play games here.

-I can even fix you up a place to sleep if...

-Thanks,

but no thanks, Nat. I need my scratching post

and that's not here.

-I really have to get home.

-Don't worry. I will fix it.

Now, let's see how much power we have first.

Slide that in there...

Right, Rumple.

Let's test it out by seeing how things are doing down on the farm.

Miss Moo, standing around the puddle to keep everyone away

is a good plan, but I can't stand here all day.

I'm a busy duck.

Well, I am not moving.

Nobody will fall into this puddle while I'm on guard.

Look out, gate, here I come! >

THEY ALL GASP

ELVIS NEIGHS

Whee!

Nice moves, Elvis. Haven't you got a song to go with those?

# Beware, beware... #

HOWLING

What was that?

That, my friends, is my latest plan to solve the puddle problem.

A loud warning moo to stop anybody from coming near it.

I quite like the song myself.

Come on. Let's hear you all moo.

Quack-moo!

Neigh-moo!

Baa-moo!

Not bad. All right, everyone.

Into position. Elvis, face this way, please.

Face the other way, Dapper.

Sorry.

Meh-eh-eh.

Whoo-hoo. Meh-eh-eh.

Let's leap-frog you.

And you!

Ho-ho! And you too!

Bryn, face the field, like Elvis,

to spot anybody trying to leap over the gate.

Will do!

Now, if anybody approaches, alert me with a moo,

just like we practised.

Meh-eh-moo!

Baa! Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Quack-moo!

Well done, everyone. That was... Oh! Moo!

-Stop!

-HE NEIGHS

SPLASH! Oh!

Woolly wobblers.

Why did you do that, Elvis?

To stop you falling in the big muddy puddle.

They are a big problem around here today.

Hmph. You wouldn't catch me jumping in one.

# Beware, beware There's a puddle over there

# Beware, beware There's a puddle over there. #

Hmm...

And since when did puddles become a problem?

Puddles are fun.

Cool song, eh, Rumple?

Hmm, yes. Reminds me of songs we sing in the wilderness.

Hmm. My friends are probably singing one right now.

Oh, dear. Are you missing them?

-Hmm.

-I'm going to have another try at fixing the module

so you can get back home.

Oh! Hey, look, that might be it, Rumple.

-Rumple?

-Hmm.

Hmm, hmm, hmm. Sorry, Nat. Did you say something?

-Oh, dear. Are you itchy again?

-Mm-hm.

-What would you do in the wilderness?

-I'd find a prickle-tickle bush.

They are lovely and scratchy.

I haven't got a prickle-tickle bush, but I have got this -

a pineapple.

No. It's not really prickly and tickly enough. Hmm.

When did you say I could go back to the Wild Wilderness?

Sorry, Rumple. I can't get you back to your scratching post right now.

-Maybe we should try and take your mind off your itch.

-All right.

Let's pay another visit to the farm

to see if they've solved their puddle problem.

Puddles aren't just fun, they're brilliant fun.

Have you never played puddle-hunt-hop?

Puddle-hunt-hop?

Ooh, sounds like fun.

It is, Bryn. Great fun!

Oh, Curly, how do you play it?

I know! I know!

I think...

Puddle-hunt-hop is really just a race.

You use the puddles as stepping stones.

See?

Easy-peasy.

Meh-eh-eh! Hoo-hoo-hoo!

It looks messy.

But that's the point, Elvis.

And if you can't find a puddle to hop to,

you have to stop.

The one who hops furthest wins.

Why don't you both start together?

There seem to be enough puddles to go around.

Ready...steady...

puddle-hunt-hop!

BRYN GIGGLES

# Hooray! Hooray! It's a perfect puddle day! #

Great puddle-hopping, you two.

Feather my duster!

What's all this noise, keeping me awake all day?

Look at me, Jasmine. I'm puddle-hopping!

Puddle-hopping?

Why didn't you say so?

Puddles are definitely worth being woken up for.

Ooh, Elvis, are you not playing?

Um...no.

Puddle-hunt-hop is not the game for me.

You don't know what you're missing.

Once I puddle-hop, I just can't stop.

Bryn! Dapper! Wait for me!

Oh.

THEY WHOOP

-Here we are.

-What would you like me to do?

Nothing that you don't want to.

Miss Moo, would you like you like to join me

in a game of puddle-jump-splash?

I'd be delighted to, Curly.

Puddle-jump-splash?!

You simply jump in a puddle to see who can make the biggest splash.

But...

But...um... Why?

Because it's fun!

Elvis, Curly was right.

You and I were both trying to find solutions to a problem

that ISN'T a problem.

MISS MOO AND CURLY GIGGLE

# Hooray! Hooray! It's a perfect puddle day

# Puddle-hop hopping Puddle-jump sploshing

# Sploshing all the way It's a perfect puddle day

# Hooray! Hooray! It's a perfect puddle day

# Puddle-hop hopping Puddle-jump sploshing

# Sploshing all the way It's a perfect puddle day. #

Come on in, Elvis! The puddles are great.

Ohhh...

Oh, why not?!

ELVIS NEIGHS

ELVIS CHUCKLES

# Hooray! Hooray! It's a perfect puddle day

# Puddle-hop hopping Puddle-jump sploshing

# Splashing all the way It's a perfect puddle day. #

THEY ALL WHOOP AND LAUGH

# Hooray! Hooray! It's a perfect puddle day

# Puddle-hop hopping Puddle-jump sploshing

# Splashing all the way It's a perfect puddle day. #

THEY ALL WHOOP AND LAUGH

You see, Rumple? There's always more than one way of doing things.

I suppose.

Definitely. Now, let's see about that broken modu-polar whatsit.

This time I'm definitely going to fix it.

-I've just got a feeling.

-I've got a feeling too.

And it's not a good one.

Oh, Rumple, not again. You've got to let me help you.

All right, Nat.

But it won't work.

We'll see about that.

Now we'll try the hairbrush treatment.

Oh, yes! That hairbrush is really doing the trick.

RUMPLE CHUCKLES

NAT CHUCKLES

Hold on!

What's this?

Have you been sitting on this all the time?

Um...well, that is where I was sitting. What is it?

I think IT has been causing your itch.

And it's what I've been looking for.

The missing part from the Iconi-Screen polar moduliser.

Ah!

BLEEPING

-So...does that mean...?

-Yes. I can fix the Iconi-Screen,

and you can go back to the Wild Wildnerness any time you like.

Oh-ho-ho!

Come on, Rumple. Let's get it plugged in.

There. All done. Now, we'll just make sure it's working properly.

BLEEPING AND WHIRRING

Yes! We have liftoff!

It's working again, Rumple.

Great!

BLEEPING

That's the games alarm.

-Have you got time for a game of who, what, where, when, why?

-Well,

now my itch has gone, I'd love a game before I go.

The clock's already ticking.

OK.

Question one.

Why did Dapper fall into the puddle?

Hmm. But I don't think Dapper did fall into the puddle, Nat.

Hmm. What do you think? Is Rumple right?

Let's see.

Oh! A-ha!

Ah.

Perfection!

Look out, Dapper!

ELVIS NEIGHS

Ah! Ohh! Ah-spl-rrt-tt! Hey! What's the big idea?

Very good, Rumple. Did you get that right, too?

Question two.

Who came up with the best answer to the puddle muddle down on the farm?

Hmm.

Who do you think it was?

-Miss Moo?

-Um...

Ahh. Miss Moo thought she knew the answer to the problem,

but if she had only listened to Elvis, she would have realised

-his idea to solve the problem was the best.

-Hmm.

Rumple thinks it was Elvis.

Do you think it was Elvis too?

The big idea, Dapper, is to stop anybody

falling into that big muddy puddle.

My song would do it.

# Beware, beware There's a puddle over there. #

Yay! It was Elvis.

Well done, Rumple.

-And now you can go back to the Wild Wilderness a champion.

-Great.

But all I really want to do is use my scratching post.

Oh, hold on.

There's no need now. You've fixed my itch.

That's right. And if you'd let me help you earlier,

you might have had more fun while you were here.

-But not to worry. We'll make up for it next time.

-Sorry, Nat.

-Now, I expect you want to get back to your friends, right?

-Yes, please.

I'd also like to have a long mud bath.

Always a treat after a good scratch.

And that was a good scratch. Thank you, Nat.

No problem, Rumple. A pleasure.

Bye, Nat.

Bye, Rumple!

Bye, Rumple!

Bye!

I wish I could fix it for me to go back to the Wild Wilderness

with Rumple, too. Oh, well. One day, maybe.

I'll see you next time.

Bye!
