Hello, Lulu. What are you doing?

Hello, Squawk, it's for school.

The teacher asked us to make an insect

from things we find in nature.

-She's teaching us about different kinds of insects.

-Oh, right.

I did that. I built a centipede.

A centipede? With all its feet?

Wow!

That must have taken hours!

Yes. Anyway, I got a very good mark.

I've made a butterfly with some leaves I found.

But I was just missing two sticks to hold up the wings.

Oh!

Look, Squawk!

There's a flower that's grown right through the snow! It's beautiful.

Mm. Oh, that - it's called a snowdrop.

That means it'll soon be the end of winter.

Wow! A snowdrop!

You know, the snowdrop is a very brave little flower.

-It's the first to appear to tell us that spring is coming.

-Wow!

I've got to tell the others, so they can see it. Ha-ha!

Nice.

Hm, not nice

PANTING

Freda, Freddy, I have some big news!

The first snowdrop has come out!

Not nice.

Nice.

What are you doing?

Choosing stones to make our beetle.

Ah. What was I saying?

Oh, yes, yes, I saw a snowdrop!

You have to come and see it.

It's a very pretty flower that tells us spring is coming.

There's lots of snow crystals all over its petals. It's beautiful.

And...and...

I know!

We'll have a picnic around the snowdrop

to celebrate the end of winter.

I'll ask my father to make us some pancakes.

We can meet at the edge of the wood at 4 o'clock.

-Tell everybody else.

-You can count on us. We'll pass it on.

Oh, and don't forget to tell Hugo.

-He must be taking another nap somewhere.

-All right,

we'll tell everyone Lulu's message.

What is her message, by the way?

She said something about Hugo and, er...making some pancakes.

Didn't she say something about flip-flops?

No, she talked about a frozen flower.

-Oh, frozen flower in the ear.

-Exactly.

Oh-oh! Cold. Oh, cold little feet.

HUMMING

Hello, Freda and Freddy.

Hello, Spike, we have a message from Lulu to everyone.

Really? What is it?

Um, er...Hugo has to, um... put a frozen flower in his ear

-and eat a plate of pancakes before 4 o'clock.

-What?

Hugo has to put a frozen flower in his ear

and eat a plate of pancakes before 4 o'clock.

That's a really strange message. Are you sure you got it right?

-BOTH: Er...yes.

-Just pass it on.

Hi, Hattie. I've got a message from Lulu for everybody.

Oh, no...

I don't remember, um...everything.

Oh, yes, I remember.

Hugo's ears are frozen at 4 o'clock

-and he should put his big feet in flowery pancakes.

-Oh.

-Are you sure?

-Yes, absolutely.

-OK. I'm off.

Hoo-hoo!

Ooh! Huh?

Hello, Barry, I've got a message from Lulu.

Um, er...what was it now?

Oh, yes, that's it.

WHISPERS Mm-hm.

Hugo has long, flowery ears and flat feet like buttery pancakes.

What?

Hugo has long, flowery ears and flat feet like buttery pancakes.

That's what Lulu said?

Yes, she said to pass on the message.

Well, that's not very nice.

I know. Lulu shouldn't have said that.

It's not your fault you've got long ears.

-What? Do you think I have long ears too?

-No, that's not what I meant.

It's true that your ears aren't very short,

but that's normal for a hare.

Hello, you two.

Do you think I have long ears and flat feet? That's what Lulu said.

Oh! Lulu said that? That's not very nice.

No, it's not very nice.

Go and tell her that with her hair she looks like a brush.

Ah! Yummy!

HUMMING

Hey, listen, Lulu.

I have a message for you.

I just saw Spike, who saw Hattie,

who told him that Hugo said that, um, er...

what was the message? Let's see.

Oh, yes. That seagulls look like sausage rolls.

Seagulls look like sausage rolls?

Er, what does that mean? That's a bit silly.

That message doesn't make any sense at all.

-Yes, I didn't understand it either.

-I'll go see Hugo. He'll tell me.

Freddy, did you see that? Hugo's going to the workshop.

-What lollipop?

-No, to the workshop.

-Are you sure.

-I just told you.

-Yeah, I suppose you did.

-Yes, I did.

Lulu, it wasn't very nice to tell Hugo he had long ears and flat feet.

-That's right. He got upset and now we can't find him.

-What?

What are you talking about? I never said that.

You never said Hugo had long, dangling ears

and flat feet like buttery pancakes?

Of course not! The only message I gave today was that I was having

a picnic around a nice flower at 4 o'clock by the edge of the wood.

-Oh.

-Mm-hm.

-Um...

-You passed the message on, Freda and Freddy?

-Um, yeah.

I mean, um...

We're not sure we told it exactly like that to Spike. Er...

-What about you, Spike?

-Well, I repeated Freda and Freddy's message,

but it wasn't really clear.

Maybe I mixed it up a little when I said it. Um...er...

Well, that's great(!) My message got totally mixed up.

Now Hugo is upset and nobody knows where he is.

Well, we know where he is.

In the workshop.

But...why did he go in there?

When you go to the workshop,

it's because you probably need to...make something.

-Make something?

-Oh, no, was it because of Lulu's message?

Hugo's decided to cover his ears with a box!

Oh, no, we have to stop him!

Brendan, you have to hide all the wood.

-Hugo wants to build a box for his ears.

-What are you saying, Lulu?

My ears are doing just fine.

Oh! So you're doing a project?

-Yes. He's doing his wooden insect.

-It's a grasshopper.

Phew! I'm so happy.

-Well, I'm not happy.

-No, Hugo, listen. I love your ears.

And your feet.

The message you got was all mixed up. It got completely jumbled up.

-What do you mean?

-I'll tell you everything.

-See you, Brendan, and thanks for everything.

-Oh, my pleasure.

See you later!

-So you didn't really say I had long ears.

-Of course not.

When I said we'd meet HERE, it must have got changed into "ears".

You just wanted to have a picnic to show us a pretty flower.

-Yes, a flower. That must be where they got flowery ears.

-Oh, right.

Now I understand. But I should say sorry too.

Since I was upset with you because of what you said I didn't say,

I sent you back a message that wasn't very nice.

Oh, yes, I got it. But it was all mixed up too.

It was something about seagulls and sausage rolls.

I didn't understand a word.

-Did you mean something about my hair?

-Oh, no, no.

Of course not.

BOTH GIGGLE

Next time we have a message, we'll give it face to face.

-OK?

-It's a deal.

All right, let's have that picnic.

Yeah!

ALL MAKE YUMMY NOISES

Mm, yummy! A pancake with jam - there's nothing better.

Mm-mm!

-There is - two pancakes with jam.

-BOTH: That's so tasty!

This snowdrop is really beautiful, Lulu.

Yes, and it means that spring is about to come.

Which means that...

The little buds come out.

The days get longer.

And we can play football till late at night.

-We can have big snowball fights.

-No, Freda, that's in the winter.

Oh, yes. Excuse me, that's right.

The little insects will be back - grasshoppers, butterflies...

That's right. And I'm going to get back to my favourite hobby...

..taking naps and spreading out my long ears in the fresh grass.

ALL LAUGH
