Voom! Voom! Shoom!

-Oh!

-Sid!

-Sorry, Rebecca. I was just dusting.

You don't need to dust my face, thank you! Oh.

It does look very nice in here, though.

-Well, I have been cleaning all day.

-Good for you.

Hold on, I think I'm going to...ah...ah...

-Oh, no. it's fine. I thought I was going to sneeze.

-So did I.

-Atchoo!

-Sorry.

-Is it over?

-I think so.

-'Ho-ho!'

-Hold on, Rebecca. I think it's time!

Great!

-It's time to play!

-Whose turn is it today?

-Let it be me!

-Let it be me!

-Me!

-Me!

# Let it be me, let it be me!

# Let it be me!

# Could it be me?

# Let it be me, let it be me

# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me!

# Let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let it be me!

# Let it be me, let it be me!

# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me! #

-Could it be me?

-Could it be me?

It's me!

# Yes, it's me! Yes, it's me!

# I'm really, really, really, really happy it's me! #

Look, there's the dressing-up room.

# Let's play! #

So what are we going to play?

Let's find out.

An Ancient Egyptian headdress, a mountain climber's outfit

and ballerina shoes?! I don't think so. Let's try again.

Well, this time we've got a white jacket,

white trousers and a white hat.

So what are we playing today? Yes.

We're going to play Chefs and make some delicious food.

So what do we need to know?

Chefs work in restaurants and cook tasty food.

They wear tall white hats when they're cooking.

The taller the hat, the more important the chef is.

Chefs also wear double-breasted jackets with two fronts.

When one gets dirty, they fold the clean one over the top.

Chefs check if an egg is fresh by putting it in water.

If it's fresh, it will sink.

If it's old and not good to eat, it'll float.

OK, that's what we need to remember. And do we need anything else?

What's this?

I have no idea! But I guess it'll come in handy.

OK, we've got everything we need. Let's go.

-Sid, can you guess what we're playing today?

-Um...

Jugglers with invisible balls?

-No! I'm cooking. We're playing Chefs.

-Cool!

-So you'll be cooking up a treat. Sounds like fun!

-I love cooking.

-Why aren't you cleaning?

-I've finished.

-I've cleaned the whole house.

-Oh, lovely.

And because I've finished, I thought I'd treat myself to a biscuit.

-You can have one, too.

-Ooh!

-Oh. There's only one left.

I hate to tell you this, you missed a bit. Down here, look, it's dusty.

You have the biscuit and I'll have one when I'm done.

Oh! Thanks, Sid! I love biscuits!

-Have fun!

-I will!

-See you.

Come on, let's play Chefs!

So where are we?

Oh! A row of shops. And look, there's a restaurant.

Well, I'm a chef so I guess that's where I'm meant to be.

Let's go in and help them with the cooking.

Now this looks like the right place. But where is everyone?

-Welcome! Welcome!

-Oh, hello.

-Come, you sit down.

-You like-a this-a table?

-No. I'm not here to...

-No good.

You're right. This table is a-no good. This is a rubbish table.

This is not good enough for a fine customer like-a yourself.

-How about this table instead?

-Oh. No, thank you. I'm not a customer.

This one is too small, maybe? The customer is always right!

I know. I tell you what.

I'll put these two tables together to make you a nice big table. Henry!

Come give me a hand.

Ah, never mind. You-a sit down and have yourself a lovely lunch.

Oh, um... But I'm not here to eat. I'm actually a chef.

-For starters, how about some delicious soup?

-I'm not a customer.

How about a nice egg and mushroom salad

with a little gherkin on the side?

-No, thank you. I am not a customer.

-You're not?

-No. I'm a chef.

-I've come to help you in the kitchen.

-Ah!

Well, why didn't you say? I'm Chef Luigi.

-Come, we go inside the kitchen.

-At last!

This, Chef Rebecca, is my kitchen.

-Oh, it's a lovely kitchen, Chef Luigi.

-Thank you.

-But there's no-one cooking.

-No.

-And there are no customers.

-No customers.

No-one knows about this place even though we've been here

for a whole year.

-A year?! And how many customers have you had?

-How many customers?

Let me think... None.

Oh. TELEPHONE RINGS

-The phone! That might be a customer wanting to book a table.

-Yes!

Mm-hmm.

Hello. Famous Chef Luigi's Restaurant. How may I help you?

Yes. Yes.

Yes! Yes!

Oh, yes!

-A customer?

-No.

-Oh.

-Even better than a customer. A critic.

-A critic?

-What's a critic?

-A critic is a man who comes to try the food

and writes about it in the newspaper.

-If he likes it, he tells everybody to come here.

-Oh, great!

HE SOBS

-What's wrong?

-I'm so happy.

And when I'm happy, it makes me want to cry!

Oh. OK.

BELL RINGS

-Who's that?

-Hello?

-It's a man.

-It must be the critic who was just on the phone.

-He's come to try the food.

-That was quick! I'm not ready. Quick, cook...

-What do I do?

-You should know, you're a chef.

-It's been a long time

since I actually cooked anything.

Oh, I know. You go and ask the critic what he wants to eat

-and I'll start to prepare.

-Right.

Great! I can actually do some cooking.

Ooh, ham.

I'll give him some ham. Everyone likes ham. So what does he want?

-He said make him anything you like.

-Great.

-But no ham.

-Oh.

-He hates ham. But he likes bread though.

-OK. I'll get some bread.

-PHONE RINGS

-The phone!

Two customers in one day. I'm rushed off my feet. Mm-hmm.

Hello. Chef Luigi's Famous Restaurant. How may I help you?

Yes. Yes.

Yes. Oh, yes!

-Another customer?

-No. The man who sells me the bread.

-Good, cos we've run out.

-Oh, no! He said he only has two loaves left.

-I'd better go and buy them.

-OK, but what about the critic?

Make him something else. And quick. He's waiting.

-But...

-Bye-sy bye!

-Huh? Oh, dear! Um...

Come on, Rebecca. You're a chef now. You can do it.

Oh! Cheese. I'll make him a cheese salad.

One cheese salad, sir.

-Oh. And where is Chef Luigi?

-Oh, he um...had to pop out.

-And did you make this?

-Yes.

Oh, dear. That will not do.

-What? Why?

-Well, I only eat food from top chefs.

Chef Luigi is a top chef. But you do not look like a top chef.

-Oh.

-I'm afraid I'll have to go.

Oh, no! He's going because he doesn't think I'm a top chef.

But why? Oh! I remember, do you?

Chefs wear tall white hats.

The taller the hat is, the more important the chef is.

I need a bigger hat.

Oh, excuse me, sir.

If you'd just like to take your seat again, that would be great.

I'll be back in a minute.

-I had the wrong hat on, sir. This is my hat.

-Oh.

I see you are a top chef after all. I will eat here.

-Great!

-Except... Except what? I don't like cheese.

Doesn't like cheese, doesn't like ham... No problem.

-I'll get you something else.

-Thank you.

What shall I make him? SNORING

Eh? Who's that?

Hello?

-Excuse me.

-Huh!

-Oh, hello. Is this my breakfast?

-No, it's not your breakfast!

-Who are you?

-I'm Henry. I'm a sous chef.

-What's a sous chef?

-I help the main chef.

-Good. Then you can help me, please.

I've got to make a meal for a critic.

He doesn't like cheese and he doesn't like ham. What can I make him?

SNORES

-Henry!

-Huh! What? OK! Right!

-Oh! There are some sausages in here. Oh! Ooh! Tomato sauce?

-Lovely.

-One sausage dinner.

-With some yummy tomato sauce.

-Mmm! That looks nice.

-I'll get...

-Oh!

-Look what you've done to my jacket!

-Oh, no! You're a right mess.

I can't go out there looking like this. What am I going to do?

-Have you got another jacket?

-This is my only one.

Oh, no! What can I do?

Hold on. I remember, do you?

Chefs wear jackets with two fronts.

If one gets dirty, they can fold the clean one over the top.

-We can fold one over. Henry, quick. Give me a hand.

-Right.

OK. I've got the right hat, clean-looking jacket and sausages.

Let's go.

-Your dinner, sir.

-Thank you.

-Ah. No. I don't like...

-Let me guess. You don't like sausages.

-No.

-I don't.

-Is there anything you do like?

-Yes. Egg.

-Egg?

-Egg.

-Oh, OK. Great. I shall make you some egg.

-Thank you.

-And please, make sure it is beautifully fresh.

-I will.

-Lovely.

-It's a "no" to sausages, I'm afraid. Henry!

-Fish and chips! Huh? What? Oh.

-He didn't like the sausages.

-No, but he does like eggs.

-Good.

We've got plenty of those.

Great. I'll make him a nice boiled egg.

Oh, yeah. I remember the last time I had a boiled egg. It was lovely.

-Hold on.

-What?

-Are these fresh?

-Looks fresh.

-We can't just guess. If we serve that critic a stale egg,

he won't be recommending anyone to come and eat here.

-Good point.

-How can we tell?

Um...

Hold on. I remember, do you?

To check if an egg is fresh, put it in some water.

If it's fresh, it'll sink and if it's old and not good to eat, it'll float.

-Right, OK.

-There we are.

-Here we go. Please sink!

Hooray! It's fresh! One beautifully fresh boiled egg coming right up.

-One beautifully fresh boiled egg for you, sir.

-Thank you.

-Oh.

-Oh, what now? It's not ham, it's not cheese, it's not sausages.

-It's egg. You said you liked egg.

-I do like eggs.

Then why did you go "oh"?

When I go to a restaurant to eat, I like my food to look nice,

to be served nicely. This is just an egg plonked on a plate.

Plonked?! Oh.

Oh, hold on.

I knew this would come in useful.

-Your egg, sir.

-Oh! Well, that looks lovely.

Beautifully fresh, just how you like it.

Oh!

-Thank you.

-No problem.

Phew!

-Chef Luigi, you're back.

-Yes.

I got some bread and I made some lovely toast for our critic.

-It smells lovely. I gave him some food.

-Did he like it?

He didn't like the ham, he wouldn't eat the cheese

and he wasn't keen on the sausages. So I've given him a boiled egg.

An egg? I hope it was fresh! You must put it in the water...

Yes, I know. I've done all that.

-Excuse me.

-Oh! The critic! He's finished his food.

So...did he like it?

-Ah, Chef Luigi, nice to see you back.

-I have brought you toast.

-Why, thank you.

-How was your egg, sir?

Ah, yes. The egg.

-Yes.

-Well, you have given me an egg.

-Yes.

-And I have eaten an egg.

-Yes.

And?

And...I can say of all the eggs I have ever eaten, that this...

was...the...

-nicest.

-Oh, thank you, sir! Thank you!

And this toast smells...lovely.

And I shall be telling everyone that this is the best

restaurant in the whole town.

-Thank you!

-HE SOBS

-Oh. Is he OK?

-Don't worry. What you said has made him happy.

-And when he's happy...

-It makes me want to cry!

Oh. Well... Yes.

-I need to give you this.

-What is it?

-It's a gold star.

You can hang on your front door and let everyone know who sees it

that this is a very nice restaurant to eat in.

-Thank you. Could I have another one, please?

-Why, of course.

-For your back door, I suppose.

-No, it's for a friend of mine.

I'll put this on the restaurant door and I'll take this one home with me.

Well, we did it!

But we would never have done it without remembering everything

we needed to know.

Chefs wear tall white hats when they're cooking.

The taller the chef's hat, the more important the chef is.

They wear jackets with two fronts.

When one gets dirty, they fold the clean one over the top.

And to check if an egg is fresh, they put it in some water.

If it sinks, it's fresh.

-I think it's time we went home. Bye, sir. Bye, Chef Luigi.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

-Has anyone seen Henry?

HE SNORES

-Oh, Henry!

-Oh, Henry!

Bye, Henry.

Bye.

And he said it was the best restaurant he'd ever been to.

-Sounds like you had a great time.

-I did.

-Well, I have finally finished.

Phew. And now I can have my biscuit.

-Oh, no! I forgot. We haven't got any left.

-What?

-No biscuits left.

Don't worry, Sid.

I brought you something back as a reward for all your hard work.

-Oh, yes?

-A gold star. Just for you. And I'll make you some biscuits too.

After all, I am a chef.

-Thank you, Rebecca.

-Playing Chefs was great fun.

What do you like to play?

I like playing Magicians and surprising all my friends.

I wave my magic wand like this.

Abracadabra!

I like to play Cave-people! I'll be really fierce like this.

I like to play Superheroes and fly through the air.
