Elvis Has Left the Farmyard 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

Hi, there. Great to see you again.

It's amazing what you can find when you're tidying up a Crazy Cupboard.

I love hats! Hey, check this out.

Whenever I travel somewhere,

I like to bring back a new one to remind me of my visit.

I needed this one when I was staying in a wooden treehouse in the jungle.

G'day, cobber!

This hat is from when I was trekking around the Australian Outback.

Oh boy, was it hot!

I loved travelling around all those places,

but there's still one place I want to visit more than anywhere else.

The Iconicles world.

I'd just love to find out what it would be like to live there.

Oh! Hang on a moment!

What if I made my workshop look like one of those worlds?

Then it would be just like visiting it. But which world to choose?

Let's take a look, shall we? Then we can try and decide. Come on.

# 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? #

This is where the fun really begins.

Splish and Splash live in an exciting world,

full of snow and ice.

They could help me make my place look like the Water's Edge.

SPLISH AND SPLASH GIGGLE

BOTH: Whee!

WHEE!

SPLISH AND SPLASH GIGGLE

-Hi, Nat!

-Hi, Nat!

Hey, you two.

Er, what are you doing?

Checking my files on the Water's Edge.

Why?

I can't visit the Water's Edge

so I thought I'd try to make a Water's Edge here.

-Brilliant!

-How can we help, Nat?

I thought I'd start by checking out Carmen's Cave for ideas.

I love how she decorates her home with shells.

Yes. I love all the different shapes and colours.

The snow and ice look great too.

I wonder if I can ever make my studio look like that.

It won't be easy.

If it's too hard, you can always try somewhere else.

-Where do you suggest?

-I like down on the Farm.

OK. Let's take a look.

HARMONICA MUSIC

DAPPER GROANS

That's it! Keep going, Dapper! You nearly had it that time!

Oh, sorry.

That's all right. I don't mind eating this one, you know.

Nonsense, Curly.

Dapper insists you have the biggest apple on the tree.

Right, Dapper?

DAPPER GROANS

Steady on, Dapper. That doesn't look safe. You need some help?

Me? Oh no. I'm fi-ine!

No, I'm not. Sorry, Curly.

That apple is not budging.

CLUCKING

We'd better pick up these apples before somebody trips over them.

Quick, everyone! Come and see what I've found!

-Bryn, would you like an apple?

-No, thank you, Miss Moo.

This is much more important.

More important than apples?

Come and see. It's a... It's a...

It's a what, dear?

I don't know what it is. I've never seen one before.

I know, it's a "thing" and it's in the top field.

The top field?

My field? I'm not sure I like the sound of a "thing" in my field.

Describe this "thing" to us.

-It's red and shiny.

-Don't tell me, an apple!

No, no. It's beautiful!

Beautiful, eh? It must be my face!

Except, on second thoughts, I'm not actually in the top field.

No, Dapper. It's red and shiny and it has great big wheels.

Come and see!

An apple with wheels? It sounds silly!

It sounds intriguing.

It sounds exciting.

It sounds dangerous.

Talking of which,

mind yourself, Curly. Nggh!

Oh, Elvis! Thank you.

What did I tell you?

It's redder than the reddest sunset.

It's shinier than the shiniest star.

That's one noisy apple. What's it doing anyway?

Ploughing the field, I think.

Isn't that Elvis' job?

Don't get too close, Bryn.

Don't go into the field.

Look how neat the rows are.

Oh, yes, and it's so fast!

Never in all my years have I seen such a quick...um...

What do you think they call it? A big red wheelie thing?

Oh, no. Something much grander than that.

A marvellous mechanical...

SPLAT

Mud-throwing thing.

It's called a tractor. Phhhph.

It's so shiny!

Oh, my! I love it! Mwah! I love it!

Oh, dear.

Oh, I like that tractor!

You sound just like the others.

What about poor Elvis?

I'm sure they won't forget him. They're his friends.

Do you like how the Farm World looks?

Yes. It's very green and leafy.

But I still want my place to look like yours.

GIGGLING

A lot of things will have to change. Maybe the Iconi-screen can help us.

Yay!

GIGGLING

What are you looking for?

You'll soon see.

Ah! At last!

-Wow!

-The Crystal Cave!

It looks like the cave is right here in your room.

Exactly, Splash. That's just the effect I was looking for.

Perfect.

Oh, Nat! Let's bring the snow in here too!

I don't think I can use real snow in here,

but maybe I can make it feel cold enough for snow.

OK.

I've turned the heating off

and I've turned the air conditioning on to very, very cold.

Brr! I think it's starting to work already.

Now, what can I use to make it look snowy?

These are snowy-coloured.

GIGGLING

Oh, you're right, Splish! Well spotted!

If we spread these sheets around,

it'll look like it's just snowed.

It'll feel just like being at the Water's Edge!

Let's see, shall we?

MUSIC SPEEDS UP

-That looks brilliant!

-Yeah! That's a great change!

What do you think, Splash?

Splash?

What? Oh, sorry, Nat.

I was just wondering how poor Elvis is feeling.

He looked very upset earlier.

Ah, yes. Let's find out, shall we?

Elvis, do we really need all those apples?

I thought I might need them later.

Later? You mean dinnertime?

No, I mean when I get to wherever I'm going.

GIGGLING

Miss Moo isn't quite following you, Elvis.

What's wrong? Is it something to do with the tractor?

It's just that tractors are very good at pulling things, aren't they?

Er, well... I suppose they are.

And they're very good at pushing things, too.

GIGGLING AND WHOOPING

That's true. Miss Moo would have to agree about that.

And they're very good at lifting things, aren't they?

Whee!

-This is fun!

-Ha-ha!

I still don't understand. What are you getting at, Elvis?

If the tractor's going to do that kind of work from now on,

you won't need me around the farm any more.

Won't need you? But, erm... What? Um...

If there's nothing for me to do, I'll just have to leave.

Leave? But Elvis, you...

No, I've made up my mind. I'll have to go.

Leave the farm? Oh, Elvis, that's just silly.

I mean, there's still plenty of things we need you for.

You did such a wonderful job helping us get that apple down, for example.

I ask you, what use is a tractor at apple harvest time?

ENGINE NOISE

I say! That is rather good! Oh, dear!

But it will never replace you, Elvis! Never!

Elvis?

Where has Elvis gone? I hope Miss Moo can find him.

I hope so, too.

Miss Moo's a good friend to Elvis. I'm sure she'll try her best.

Don't forget, we still have a job to do as well. Come on.

Brr!

Is anyone else cold?

-No. It's just like home!

-Oh, yes, of course.

Do you remember me looking at Carmen's Cave?

Yes. You liked the way it was decorated.

Yes!

So, if my place is going to be a proper Water's Edge,

I'm going to need some seashell decorations.

Wow! They're beautiful shells. What are you going to do with them?

I'm going to stick them

on this plain old lamp for my Water's Edge room.

We'll find the best ones.

We are well on our way now.

Nat, when will we find out what's happened to Elvis on the Farm?

I'll tell you what, we'll find out right now. Come on, you two.

Dapper, we have to get everyone together.

-It's Elvis.

-You're right.

He said he'd take us for a ride this afternoon.

No, you don't understand. He's leaving.

Leaving already? But I haven't finished getting ready!

I mean leaving the farm, and he's not coming back!

Goodbye, barn. Goodbye, henhouse.

Goodbye, field. Goodbye, fence.

But Elvis can't leave! He's my biggest fan!

It's our fault.

We all got so excited about that tractor.

Dapper, you must gather all the animals together, quickly!

Leave it to me! Dapper duck to the rescue!

BANG!

Eugh. Agh.

Dapper duck to the rescue, take two.

HEY!

Ah! Curly! Elvis is leaving! Quick!

Speak up, Dapper!

I can't hear you for the noise of the tractor.

Dapper, did you hear it? The tractor beeped his horn at me!

We have to get him back!

You went quack?

What are you saying, Dapper?

Elvis! He's leaving the farm because of that tractor!

Yes, it's a lovely tractor, isn't it?

What were you saying, Bryn?

The tractor bipped its horn.

Oh, yes, I agree. It's a lovely field of corn.

Yee-argh! Ah!

Dapper? Is something wrong?

Wrong?! Follow me!

Goodbye, gate.

Goodbye, scarecrow.

Goodbye dangerous-looking thing.

-I never did know what that was.

-BRYN:

-Wa-hoo!

-Bryn? No.

-BRYN:

-Wa-hey!

Oh, dear! Oh, dear me!

-What is going on, Miss Moo?

-Elvis has left the barnyard.

For ever!

No! But then what's he doing over there?

Elvis P Giddyup!

You said you were leaving because of that tractor!

I had to come back, Miss Moo. It's Bryn.

He's playing in the field with the tractor.

He doesn't realise how dangerous it is.

Hey, everyone! Look at me!

Bryn! Be careful!

Aah!

ELVIS NEIGHS

THEY ALL CHEER

-Thanks, Elvis.

-Don't mention it.

Promise you won't go anywhere near that tractor again, Bryn.

You hear me? It's a machine, not a toy.

Sorry, Elvis. I didn't know.

Of course you didn't, but now you do.

Well, I really must be going now.

Going? Where are you going?

Elvis is leaving us, Bryn, because of that tractor taking his job.

What? But Elvis can't leave!

We want him on the farm more than any silly tractor.

-Of course we do!

-Well said, Bryn.

Miss Moo couldn't have put it better herself.

But I'm sure the tractor can be your friend, Bryn.

After all, it does everything I can do.

Not everything.

It didn't stop to help me when I fell down like you did, Elvis.

You're always there to pick me up.

Elvis does a lot more than just the jobs on the farm.

Without Elvis, the farm just wouldn't be the same.

That's right. Elvis is someone you can always trust to care,

and to look out for his friends.

And he's someone you can always trust to look up to me!

Er, I mean, he's someone you can look up to.

-Do you all really mean that?

-Of course we do.

I know something a tractor can't do as brilliantly as you, Elvis.

What?

Give me rides around the farm, safely.

-Ah, I don't know what to say.

-I do! Let's go! Meeh!

ELVIS NEIGHS

THEY ALL LAUGH

I'm glad it worked out for Elvis.

They would've missed him if he'd gone.

They certainly would.

Elvis would have missed his home on the farm, too. He loves it.

Talking of which, we still have some work to do on my home.

They've gone. Very keen.

GAMES ALARM

It's the Games Alarm. Let's play Who, What, When, Where, Why.

Why don't you and I play? Great.

OK, ready for question one?

Do you remember what kind of fruit fell from the tree in the orchard?

Hm, if you need a clue,

I can tell you it's shiny and it crunches when you bite into it.

DAPPER GROANS

Keep going, Dapper. You nearly had it that time.

Oh! Sorry!

That's all right. I don't mind eating this one, you know.

Hah! It was an apple! Did you get that one?

OK, here's the next question.

Who was worried about Bryn getting too close to the tractor?

GAMES ALARM

That's the end of the game. Hope you've got your answer ready.

Promise you won't go anywhere near that tractor again, Bryn.

You hear me? It's a machine, not a toy.

Sorry, Elvis. I didn't know.

Of course you didn't, but now you do.

That's right, it was Elvis. And he was right to be worried.

The tractor's not a toy for Bryn to play with.

It's a tool to be used on the farm,

and if you don't know how to use a tool properly,

it can be very, very dangerous to play with.

Now I'd better go and find out what Splish and Splash have been up to.

NAT SHIVERS

It's getting colder and colder.

I'll put this on.

Some gloves.

Ah! That's better!

Splish! Splash!

BOTH: Surprise! Hee-hee!

-Look what we made!

-Wow!

It's for you, Nat.

Oh, this is totally brilliant! Thanks!

BOTH: Hee-hee! Look!

Oh, wow!

We spread out those white sheets for you.

The ones you said would make it look like snow.

It really does look amazing. What do you two think?

Do you like my new-look home?

Well, it's very nice but we liked it the way it was.

It was full of interesting things to look at.

And it wasn't freezing cold, which was a nice change for us.

Hm, you're right. It has got very cold in here. Brr!

I think I'll go and reset the temperature.

I definitely preferred the temperature the way it was.

The picture of the Crystal Cave is making me shiver looking at it.

We loved all your different cupboards and bookshelves.

Me too!

Yey!

BOTH: Yey!

It's already looking and feeling much better.

SPLISH AND SPLASH GIGGLE

Nat, I know you like the Water's Edge...

..but we think...

..you like your own home much better.

You're right, except I'm going to keep this beautiful lamp

you two made me.

-You know what that means?

-No.

-No.

It means I love to travel but there's still no place like home.

We love our home, too.

-We need to go now.

-I'll race you!

See you both again. Bye, Splish. See you, Splash.

Thanks for all your help.

BOTH: Bye, Nat!

Whoa!

-See you soon!

-BOTH: Bye! Woo-hoo!

GIGGLING

Humph! Guess I won't be needing this any more.

Well, not until I travel somewhere cold again.

See you next time. Bye!
