-Ho-ho!

-Ha-ha!

-He-he!

# Iconicles Iconicles. #

Hiya. I've been baking today. I love it. Baking is just like inventing.

You take things and put them together to make something new.

I made myself my very favourite treat. It's just cooling over there.

It's cake. What's your favourite treat?

Pineapples and cherries, maybe?

Ah! I bet you can't guess Rumple the Rhino's favourite treat.

Yes? No? I'll tell you.

It's tree bark. Honestly! Rumple loves it.

Come with me and I'll show you a few other treats Rumple likes to eat.

# 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? #

Now this is where the fun really begins.

OK. Let's bring up Rumple's file.

Oh. That's odd. It's empty. I must have forgotten to save all the info.

Hmm. Not to worry. We could always invite him over to help update it.

There he is.

Ho-ho-ho!

Whoa!

Oof! Oh!

Whoa!

-Wait for me!

-I can't stop! Oh!

SPLAT!

Oh, dear. This is not a good day.

First my horn gets blunted, and now I've squashed your cake.

-Sorry, Nat.

-Not to worry, Rumple. Accidents happen.

So, tell me, why is your horn blunt?

Well, I was playing coconut kick with Mungo,

when I accidentally ran horn first into a tree stump.

It went in sharp and came out blunt.

Eventually. You haven't got a rhino horn sharpener handy, have you, Nat?

No, I've never sharpened a Rhino's horn before.

I didn't know you could.

Very interesting. Do you mind if I take a closer look?

He-he! Try again.

-Try what again, Rumple?

-I didn't say anything.

He-he! Let's see you do better, Splish.

He-he-he!

Oh! It's Splish and Splash and it sounds like they're having fun.

-Let's go and see what they're up to.

-But what about my horn? Aw.

Me next! Oh, missed again.

Ah! I just love surprises. Don't you, Scotty?

Yes, yes, Salty. But, we have to make sure that Splish and Splash

don't find out about the one we have planned for them.

They will love it, no?

Yes, as long as nobody spoils it by letting the secret out.

No, no, no. Who could possibly be silly enough to do that?

BOTH: Salty.

Awr! Awr! Ha-ha-ha!

-He-he-he!

-OK, this time we're not going to miss.

We said that last time. And the time before, and the...

Here goes!

Hey, dudes, guess...what? Pfff!

Whoops. Sorry, Salty.

You better be careful, or I won't tell you about the surprise.

-A surprise?

-We just love surprises.

Yeah, me too, but I'm just so terrible at keeping a secret.

So, what's the surprise, Salty?

Is it big?

-CRACKING

-Ah!

-Is it small?

-Does it bounce?

No, wait, stop!

-Or tickle?

-Awr! Awr! Ha-ha! I'm not sure I should say.

BOTH: Please?

Oh, all right. It's...

Splashdown!

Hup! Blurgh! I'm not too late, am I?

I mean, you haven't said anything, have you?

-About what?

-About...you know. It.

-Do you mean the surprise?

-Yes. No! What? Shh!

What is it, Scotty?

No, telling would spoil the surprise later.

Scotty's right, dudes.

-How much later? After breakfast?

-After lunch?

-After supper.

But that's not for ages.

Just be patient and enjoy the wait.

-But...

-How can we enjoy waiting?

Poor Splish and Splash. I know exactly how they feel.

It's frustrating waiting so long for something you really want.

Not as frustrating as having a blunt horn. Can we sharpen it now?

Of course.

First, I want to show you something I made especially for you.

A Rumple treat.

Ha-ha! I didn't just make myself a cake.

I made a special Rumple jelly cake too.

Rumple?

-Rumple!

-Timber!

Oh, no, Rumple! What did you do?

Sorry, Nat.

I was just trying to sharpen my horn against this big plant.

It didn't work.

Really, Rumple, be a bit more patient.

We will fix your horn, I promise, but first...

What do you think of this?

-Ah, what is it?

-It was Rumple jelly cake.

I made it for you as a treat. It's got your favourite nibbles in.

Tree bark, crunchy celery, fruit and...

Hmm. But it looks a bit runny.

Hmm. Maybe you could try making another.

Yes, there should be plenty of the Rumple jelly mix left.

Ah!

Oh!

I think I should add more quick-setting jelly, this time,

to make a perfect, wibbly-wobbly Rumple jelly cake.

Maybe you should read the instructions.

Yes, absolutely, Rumple.

Add no more than three spoons of quick-setting jelly powder to the...

-Achoo!

-CRASH

Sorry, Rumple, was that me?

Just need to add this to my mould.

Ha-ha!

Now, while that sets, we can...

Sharpen my horn!

GIGGLING

Oh, hey, it's Splish and Splash.

I wonder if they found their surprise.

-Awr! Awr!

-Please, tell us, Salty, please!

Awr! I can't! It's a surprise.

So stop tickling!

Ah! Ooh.

-He-he-he!

-Pff.

BOTH: Please!

Oh, all right.

I'll give you a clue to the surprise, OK?

BOTH: OK, Salty.

You will find it in the darkest place we know.

The darkest place we know.

-I know where it is!

-You do?

-You do?

The crystal cave. It's always dark in there.

Hey, wait! I thought we could all play a game of catch the fish.

Sorry, we have a surprise to find.

You're missing out on some serious fishy fun.

Look out, Fishy, Salty is on your tail.

Come on, Splash, the surprise must be inside here.

How are we going to find it? It's so dark.

-Wait! I think I can feel it.

-He-he!

That's my ear, silly. He-he!

BOTH: Wow!

HUMMING

What's that noise?

It's Carmen. She might know where the surprise is. Let's go.

Carmen? Carmen!

Si, amigos? What is it?

-We're trying to find out what the surprise is.

-Do you know?

Aha! Si, I know. But I cannot tell a secret. I know.

I'll teach you the song and dance

that helps me wait for the sea to bring my shells.

CARMEN HUMS

-But we don't want to sing and dance.

-We want to find the surprise.

Oh, OK.

A clue for you, I give. You won't find the surprise in a cave.

Or on the beach. So it must be...

BOTH: In the sea!

-In the sea?

-Thanks, Carmen.

-Bye!

Adios, amigos. Ai ai ai!

Hey, we're supposed to be looking for the surprise,

-not playing chase the fish.

-Sorry. Where can it be?

-It's darkest down there.

-Brr. It looks cold.

It's Bubbles! Maybe she knows where it is.

-BOTH:

-Bubbles, we need your help.

-Of course what is it?

-We're looking for the surprise.

-We've searched in the crystal cave.

And under the sea, but we still can't find it.

-You won't find it under the sea.

-Oh, do you know where it is?

-Please tell us.

-I can't tell you.

It will spoil the surprise.

-Be patient. Relax.

-But it feels like we've been waiting a week already.

We can't relax until we find out what the surprise is.

Ha-ha-ha! Nonsense!

Why don't you both hop up on my back for a quick trip along the coast?

A nice swim along the coastline

always helps me relax when I'm waiting for something.

-But I'm tired of waiting.

-You could give us a clue instead of a ride.

All right. The clue is... you will see it if you look up.

But there's nothing up there.

Not yet, Splish. Patience!

BOTH: Huh?

It must have been hiding behind the clouds.

That must be where the surprise is. In the ice tower cave. Let's go.

-Up there? Maybe we should wait.

-It will be dark soon, and...

-Come on! We'll probably be back way before dark if we roll together.

-OK.

Uh-oh. I think they should be a bit more patient

and just wait for their surprise. Don't you, Rumple? Rumple?

Ho-ho-ho! There you are. The Rumple jelly cake's good to go, Rumple.

Good. I'm hungry.

And still blunt.

Give it a tap.

Jellies really should wobble, shouldn't they?

Don't bother. You won't cut through that.

I'm not trying to cut it. I'm sharpening my horn on it.

And it's working. Perfectly! Thanks.

Well done, Rumple, that looks brilliant.

Almost worth the wait.

And, there's just enough mixture for one last try.

And this time I will follow the instructions.

-Hmm.

-Just add a little more water.

Right. All done.

Let's check out what's happening at the Water's Edge

-while we wait for your Rumple jelly cake to set.

-Perfect.

If Salty and those two bear cubs don't arrive soon,

they'll miss the surprise.

Hey, dudes! Where are the cubs?

Where are the...? Brrr! We thought they were with you.

No, I've been off shore surfing all afternoon.

There were some crazy waves today. One was as tall as a mountain.

Two mountains, with snow on top.

Sorry, there's no time to listen to your surfing stories.

We have two missing bear cubs to find.

-I'll look on the beach.

-I'll look in the crystal cave.

I'll check the sea.

And I'll check out the rock pools.

Hey, listen up, Missy Fishy.

Did two white, hairy dudes poke their paws in here today?

Thanks anyway.

Splish! Splash! Are you here?

Come on, now. You don't want to miss the surprise.

Where are you, my little amigos?

Splish? Splash?

Oh.

Well? Did you find them? They must be somewhere.

They are, Scotty. Look! Up in the sky.

Ai ai ai! That's high!

And dangerous. I'll get them.

-The surprise isn't there is it?

-No.

We should have listened to Salty and played catch the fish.

Or Carmen. It would have been fun to learn her song and dance.

Or gone for a ride with Bubbles.

We could have had a brilliant day if we had just been more patient.

-Well...

-BOTH: Scotty!

Instead of chasing around looking for the surprise, yes?

Your day would have been a lot more fun than climbing up here.

Can you tell us where the surprise is now, Scotty?

If we hurry, we may just get back to the rock pool

in time to share it with everyone else.

That's the best spot to see it from.

Well, let's go.

-I can't see them.

-No, but I think I can hear them.

Weeee! Ha-ha! Brilliant!

Phew. They are safe.

Landing gear down. Whoa!

Strike to Scotty!

THEY ALL LAUGH So, where's the surprise?

I told you it was in the darkest place you know.

And I told you that you wouldn't find it in a cave or on the beach.

And I told you to look up.

All good clues, what?

But we still haven't found it.

You just came up with the wrong answers.

Splish, Splash, meet the aurora borealis. Wow!

-Look, Splish.

-Look, our surprise!

-It's really up there.

-In the dark sky.

Worth being patient for, yes?

BOTH: It's the best surprise ever.

Splish and Splash got their surprise.

All they had to do was be patient.

You know, I should have been a bit more patient too,

instead of rushing about baking and doing everything

except help sharpen your horn, Rumple. Sorry.

And I suppose if I'd been a little more patient myself,

your plant wouldn't have gone "Timber!" Sorry.

No problem.

And, thanks to the Rumple rock jelly, your horn's all pointy again.

ALARM HONKS DEVICE BEEPS

That's the games alarm. Hey!

Do you want to play the game with us? We have to beat the clock.

It's already tricking. Let's get started.

Question one.

Who first told Splish and Splash there was a surprise for them?

Come on, Rumple. Do you know? I'll give you a clue.

-Awr! Awr! Awr!

-Ah, I remember.

It was Salty.

Hey, dudes, guess...what? Pff.

Whoops. Sorry, Salty.

You better be careful or I won't tell you about the surprise.

It was Salty. Good work, Rumple.

OK, next question.

Why didn't Splish and Splash want to learn Carmen's dance?

-Do you know?

-I do.

It was because they were impatient.

But we don't want to sing and dance. We want to find the surprise.

Oh, correct, Rumple.

OK, time for one last question.

What was Splish and Splash's big surprise?

The borealis aurora?

That's the aurora borealis.

Splish, Splash, meet the aurora borealis.

BOTH: Wow!

Well done.

-Now, let's see if your Rumple jelly cake is ready to eat.

-Mmmm.

Let's hope so.

The Rumple jelly cake's good to go.

Oh! A perfect jelly.

And well done, Rumple.

You've been really good at waiting patiently for the Rumple jelly cake.

-Buuuurp!

-Or maybe not.

That was scrumptious.

Awesome. And know I know that Rumple Rhino loves to eat tree bark and...

-Wobbly jelly.

-..and wobbly jelly.

I'll add all that info into my Rumple food file, right away.

While I wash off the jelly by rolling in the mud.

Sorry, Rumple, my place is all out of mud.

Luckily for me, the Wild Wilderness isn't.

Time to go home, for a nice long mud bath.

Bye, Rumple, and thanks for a fantastic day.

Bye, Nat. Thanks for the Rumple jelly cake.

You're most welcome.

-Bye, Rumple.

-Bye.

Now. I'd better get busy updating Rumple's file.

See you next time. Bye!
