When It Comes to the Crunch 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 just been on an expedition.

Not to another part of the world.

This one was a bit closer to home - the local beach.

Have you ever been beachcombing? It's great!

You search the beach for interesting things.

In this bucket are shells.

In this other bucket are some of the other interesting things I found.

Ah!

This is my beachcombing notebook.

I like to write a list of the interesting things I find.

I make drawings, too, if something is especially interesting.

Hm. Right. First to sort out what I've found today.

But I could really use some help.

To the Iconi-Screen!

# 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 I-coni-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? #

Now, this is where the fun really begins.

Which Iconicle could help me with my sorting?

Hm. Who would you choose?

Wahey! Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Skitter! He's always sorting his nut collection.

Ha-ha-ha!

Wahey!

Wahey! Wah-e-e-ey!

Wh-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee!

Wah-e-e-e-e-e-ey!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ho! Wahoo!

Skitter! Good to see you. And...

Good, good, good to see you, too! What's that smell?

It's what I wanted to show you.

I found these things beachcombing. I need to sort them out.

-I wondered if you'd like to help?

-Sorting is my favourite hobby!

Whoo-hoo-hoo! Whee-hee!

SNORING

Wait! Can you hear that funny noise?

It's not in there. It's coming from the Iconi-Screen.

From somewhere in the Wild Wilderness.

Ha! It's Rumple, asleep, as usual.

SNORING

Rumple-Wumpy?

Can you answer a question for Zee and me?

Please? Please?

Pretty please?

What is it now, Twinkle?

Well, I think crocodiles have 128 teeth.

And I think they have 35.

Or maybe 62.

-Or...

-Zee!

How many teeth do crocodiles really have, Rumple-Wumpy?

I suggest if you have a crocodile question,

you should find a crocodile to help you find the answer.

YAWNS: Don't you?

Oh. Yes. Sorry to wake you, Rumple.

We will go and ask Crunch. We won't disturb you any more.

WHISPERS: We'll be as quiet as little mice.

THEY SQUEAK

Mm. Peace at last.

Eek!

-A-A-Atchoo!

-THUD!

Oh!

Oh! Ah!

Oh! A-A...!

Hello, Crunch. Are you all right?

No. The Crunch is not all right.

A-A-Atchoo!

The Crunch has got a tickle in his g-nose.

-Your g-nose?

-My g-nose.

Inside my g-nose.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Hee-hee-hee! Don't worry, we'll look after you.

Thank you. A-A-Atchoo!

Oh!

Whoops-a-daisy.

Poor Crunch has got an itchy nose.

Maybe we should ask Rumple what to do.

No need, Zee.

I know exactly what to do to fix Crunch's sneezes.

I do? I mean, you do?

Atchoo!

Surprise!

Oh! Whoopsie!

-This way, Zee.

-Coming! Whoops!

I think.

When the sun shines, my ears get hot and terribly tickly.

That's what's wrong with you, Crunch. You've got a hot nose.

So we've made a lovely flowery hat

to keep the sun off your nosey nose.

Um...

Thank you, Twinkle.

-I carried it, too!

-Thank you, Zee.

Perfect! No hot nose means no sneezles.

A-Atchoo!

Ew! That didn't quite work.

There must be something we can do.

We'd better be quick. He's going to sneeze again!

A-A-Atchoo!

THEY SHRIEK

-THEY LAUGH

-Crunch has got a powerful sneeze.

Yes. I hope he feels better soon.

Ooo, Nat! Is it time to sort all your beachcombing things now?

Yes. OK. Let's go.

Right. Here we go. I'll sort everything out in this bucket

and I need you to sort out all the shells in this one.

SNIFFS: Wow!

I've only ever seen Shelly's shell before.

These would look tiny next to hers.

Well, these shells used to have tiny little creatures living inside them.

Ooo! Do you think any are still inside?

Hello? Anybody home?

Ha-ha! All right, Skitter,

I need you to sort these shells into different piles,

just like you would with your nuts.

Sorting shells. Um, OK, no problem.

-Sure you don't need any help?

-Er, I'm sure, Nat. Easy-peasy.

But, er, I can't concentrate on this until I, er,

find out how Crunch is doing.

Oh, yeah. Poor Crunch.

I hope his sneezing has stopped.

Crunch, I think you're sneezing because your nose isn't very happy.

You're right, Zee. We need to cheer up that poor, sad nose,

but how do we do that?

We, um...

Ah! Give it a lovely, sweet-smelling flower bath.

This will make your nose happy again, Crunch.

It's such a happy smell!

Crunch hopes so.

A-A-A...!

-Oh, no!

-Dance.

-What?

-Dance!

It'll stop him thinking about the tickle in his nose.

A-A-A...!

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la. #

Come on, Zee!

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la

# I'm a flower A pretty, pretty flower. #

A...! Ooo!

A...!

A-A-A...!

Keep going!

BOTH: # La, la, la, la, la, la, la

# I'm a pretty, pretty flower. #

Is that better?

G-no.

No Crunch's g-nose and Crunch's eyes are...

A-A-Atchoo!

-We'll do another dance.

-No!

Oh. We're only trying to help stop those tickles.

Do you know how to stop tickles in a crocodile's nose?

Well,... g-no.

I mean, no, not exactly.

I g-know you're trying to help,

but you're just making Crunch's g-nose itch more.

Please leave Crunch alone.

But, but, but... We tried our best.

But we didn't know what we were really doing.

So we just made his tickles worse.

A-A-Atchoo!

Brrrr! What are we going to do?

Atchoo!

Can't be much fun sneezing all day long. Poor old Crunch.

Right. Time to get sorting, Skitter.

I just had a great idea to help you sort the shells, Skitter!

Ah. Thanks, Nat.

There you are. Now you can sort those shells

-on to these different-coloured sections.

-OK, Nat.

Right. You'll need some room. So I'll leave you sorting over here

and I'll take my bucket and notebook and go and sort over there.

But sort them how?

I'm not really sure how Nat wants them sorted.

And he'll think I'm silly if I ask.

Whoo-hoo-hoo! Look at that!

OK.

Beachcombing expedition.

Things found by Nat.

Er... wood.

One piece.

Hm. It could be from the deck of an old ship.

Maybe even a pirate ship.

Oo-ar, me hearties!

Skitter, how's the sorting going?

Nat? Just one question.

Why does the sorting tray have three coloured spaces?

For the three different types of shells.

Thanks. OK, so there are three different types of shell.

Maybe I should sort them by colour. Yes!

Oh, wow!

Huh! This is called a fossil.

It's the remains of a sea animal that lived millions of years ago,

when dinosaurs were beachcombing my local beach instead of me.

That's what I like to think, anyway.

Hm. One fossil.

Huh! Oh! Something this old deserves to be put on display.

Shells sorted by colour.

Hm. Except they're all the same kind of colour.

So I don't think colour is the way to sort them. Ooo!

One big rubber duck, one little rubber duckie.

Ha! That will look great next to the bath.

-Er, Nat?

-Yes, Skitter?

Just wondered, what do you like most about shells?

Oof! Well, they're all so different.

For example, you get some really big ones

and other really small ones.

Big and small. Yes, yes, yes!

-Thanks, Nat!

-You're welcome, Skitter.

Hm. Ooo!

One pair of sunglasses, broken. Hm.

But not for long.

There we go. Big shells here, small ones there.

Oh! But that only makes two different types.

Nat wants them sorted into three.

-So, you all done yet, Skitter?

-Er, not quite.

I thought we could see how things are going with Crunch's itchy nose,

-and then I'll finish.

-Sounds good to me.

HE SNORES

Rumple?

Huh? Hm.

Sorry to wake you again, but there's a problem.

We tried to stop Crunch's nose tickling...

But we didn't know what we were doing and we made it worse!

-Atchoo!

-THUD!

-Atchoo!

-THUD!

Hm. You say you made Crunch's itchy nose worse?

Yes.

Do you think it was something we did that made his nose itch?

If you can work out what that was,

you might find out what started the itch in the first place.

Hm, what did we do?

Hat!

Hat?!

We picked some lovely big flowers from around Crunch's waterhole

and used them to make him a lovely flowery hat.

Atchoo!

That didn't work.

Then we made Crunch a lovely flower bath,

to make his nose all happy.

But that only made Crunch sneeze even more.

Don't forget the flower dance!

Oh, it was so beautiful!

We scattered flowers all around...

Now, there's no need to... THEY SING HAPPILY

# I'm a flower a pretty, pretty flower

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la, I'm a flower... #

-Atchoo!

-THUD!

That didn't work either.

What did we do wrong, Rumple?

Think again about what you did to help.

Maybe then you'll be able to find the answer to your question.

Well, we gave Crunch a flowery hat.

-And a lovely, smelly flowery bath.

-And did our flowery dance, too.

Oh, oh! I get it - everything we did was with flowers.

And so...?

So, it's the flowers that are making Crunch's nose itch!

Exactly!

Let's go and see if you are right, shall we?

Oh, hello.

We think we've found out what's making your nose itchy!

Oh, Crunch's nose isn't happy or it's the sunshine.

-Oh, you're not going to do another dance, are you?

-No!

It's these flowers!

A.... A...

You have hay fever. The powdery pollen inside the flowers

-gets inside your nose and makes you...

-Atchoo!

..sneeze.

They all have to go.

But what are you going to do with all these flowers?

Something very... Well, we are... That is, er...

You'll see! Won't I? Won't he?

Huh?!

Perfect!

All the flowers have gone.

How are you feeling, Crunch?

I'm feeling...

Wait... It can't be!

My sneezes have gone!

Yeah, we did it!

We worked it out between us.

And Crunch's feels better than ever

and is itch-free. Thank you, ladies!

CLEARS HIS THROAT

-And you, Rumple.

-Mm-hm.

And we have a big thank-you for you, too, Rumple. Follow me!

-Hm.

-Bye, Rumple!

Surprise!

We decorated your mud patch to thank you for helping us

to help Crunch.

You ALWAYS know what to do.

It's always best to ask, if you don't you may know the answer

without even knowing it.

Now we'll leave you to finish your nap.

But, but we still don't know how many teeth a crocodile has!

That's easy - they have as many as they need.

-Thanks, Rumple.

-You know everything!

And we know when it's time to leave.

RUMPLE SNORES

HE SNIFFS

A... Atchoo!

THUD!

HE SNORES AGAIN

So they've finally worked out what was making Crunch's nose itchy!

And it was right under his nose all the time!

How close are you to finishing sorting those shells?

Nearly finished!

But just out of interest, Nat, do you have a favourite way

of sorting shells?

Well actually, yes.

By their shape.

Ah - shape. Of course!

Come on, I'll show you.

OK...

Here's are some shells from the Water's Edge.

This one's shape is called a cone.

A bit like an ice cream cone.

This one's shape is called a spiral.

And...

This one's shape is flat.

Cone, spiral, flat - three shapes to sort the shells into!

Got it!

GAMES ALARM BLARES

Games alarm! Time to play Who, What, When, Where, Why!

Tell you what, I'm busy with this sorting,

maybe I could finish that while you play the game today?

OK.

Time starts now!

First question...

What did Twinkle and Zee put on Crunch's head

to try to stop him sneezing?

What do you think?

What would you use?

Let's see, shall we?

We've make a lovely flowery hat to keep the sun

off your nosey nose!

Hmm.

Thank you, Twinkle.

Ah, it was a flowery hat!

Did you get that one?

OK, next question.

Ah, what Twinkle think would help Crunch stop thinking

about his sneezing?

Hm... Think hard, this is a tricky one.

OK, let's see if you're right.

-Oh, no!

-Dance!

-What?!

Dance! It'll stop him thinking about the tickle in his nose!

Ah, that's it!

Twinkle thought that dancing would take Crunch's mind off his sneezing.

Did you get that one?

OK, time for one last question.

Ah!

Why did all the things that Twinkle and Zee do

make Crunch's nose itch?

Let's take a look.

We think we've found out what's making your nose itchy.

Oh, Crunch's nose isn't happy.

Or it's the sunshine.

-Oh, you're not going to do another dance, are you?

-No!

It's these flowers!

Oh! They kept using flowers - and the powdery pollen in them

made Crunch's nose itch!

Poor thing!

Well done if you got that. OK, let's see how Skitter's doing.

Shells all sorted.

By shape.

Cone shells...

spiral shells...and flat shells.

Well, nicely sorted in a brilliant display, Skitter!

Thanks to you, Nat.

-Me?!

-Yes. I wasn't quite sure how to sort the shells at first,

even though I said I knew.

I see.

Well, it seems to me you worked it out yourself

by trying, thinking...

and asking questions.

Nice work, well done, Skitter!

Thanks! And now I want to go home and sort my nut collection

by shape, too. I usually sort them into two groups -

"eat now" and "eat later"! He-he-he!

Thanks for all your help today. I'll see you later.

See, see, see you later, Nat! Wahey!

SKITTER LAUGHS

Bye, Skitter!

Bye, Nat!

Right, I've got some tidying up to do, so until next time,

bye for now.
