Call, Lulu Zipadoo.

Lulu Zipadoo!

All right, everyone!

On your marks, get set...

Go!

-ALL:

-Whee!

Yes! I'm first down, I won!

Whoa-a-a-a!

Oh-ho!

Hattie, are you OK?

Yes, I'm fine, thanks.

That was so cool! Listen, why don't we build some snowmen?

-There's loads of snow!

-Yes, great idea!

We haven't done that for ages.

-THEY LAUGH AND CHEER

-We're going to build a snowman!

Oh, no! My necklace! I've lost it!

And all my pearls are in the snow!

Don't worry, Hattie. I'll help you find them.

Hmm...

Yes!

What're you two doing? We're waiting for you to play!

I broke my necklace but then I found all the pearls again.

Do you want to borrow my shell, so you can carry them?

Oh, thanks, Lulu.

Come on, let's go and build a snowman!

Ooh...

Ah, ha-ha-ha. There. Almost finished. Ha-ha-ha!

Barry! Are you coming? >

-We're waiting!

-Coming right now.

WIND ROARS

Br-r-r! It's the kind of night to stay right under the covers!

Last night was my first real snow storm, and I wasn't even afraid.

And with all that snow, we're going to be able to make snow-hares!

-And snow-tortoises, too.

-Oh, no! Look over there!

Our old cherry tree has broken!

Oh, it's a disaster!

Urgh!

-You think the tree's in pain?

-Please move away!

It's too dangerous to stay under the tree.

After that storm, another branch could fall on you.

So, we can't play round here today?

No. It's forbidden to play and climb around the tree.

But we need this tree. It's where we meet to play.

Without it, we don't know where to go.

I'll take good care of it, but in the meantime,

you'll have to find another place to play.

THEY GROAN

I don't feel like playing any more.

See you, little cherry tree.

Oh, I just don't believe this.

All right, we have to find another place to meet up.

-What about this sign?

-Nice idea but we need another tree.

What about if we meet at the big elm tree?

How about the willow?

Um, I've got something to do. It's very urgent.

Barry, where do you want the new meeting place to be?

-Wherever you want.

-All right.

Barry? What did I tell you? >

Well, actually I needed to...

-Well?

-I can't tell you.

-Then don't say anything,

but you can't climb the tree and get away with it.

Stay here and we'll both take care of it.

-Where are you going?

-To look at the break.

Where else should I go?

"Let's meet at the big elm tree." That sounds all right.

Not as good as, "Let's meet at the old cherry tree."

Oh, come on. It won't be for long anyway.

Brendan will fix our cherry tree.

-Where's Barry?

-He won't come here as he doesn't know we're here.

-Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

-That's right, Freddie. We have to tell him.

Let's go and look for him.

The branch was probably weak and the weight of the snow broke it.

Our cherry tree's old. Think we'll have to cut him down?

Of course not. We'll make him better.

First, we'll protect the stump from fungus and such things.

I'll be back.

-Oh...

-Ha-ha! Oh, hello there, Barry.

You coming? We're at the big elm tree.

Um... Not right now. I'm very busy. Listen, can you help me?

Of course, what is it?

I have to get something back from the tree.

I'm afraid Brendan will find it.

-But we're not supposed to go near the cherry tree.

-Yes, I know.

-But I have to get this thing back.

-Really?

-What's this thing anyway?

-It's treasure.

Treasure? Well, why didn't you ask Hattie to help you?

She could go and get it by flying.

That's just it. Hattie can't find out. Will you help me?

BRENDAN SINGS TO HIMSELF

All right. Where is your treasure exactly?

Second branch. In a hollow part.

-Oh, hello.

-Hi!

See you, Barry. Work hard with Brendan.

Oh. I'm tired of looking for Barry.

Me, too. It's really hard work.

THEY SIGH

Oh, look, Freddy!

-Treasure in the cherry tree!

-Do you think so?

Squawk, Squawk! I've got something to ask you.

What's that, Lulu?

Squawk, would you help me on a really important mission?

Ooh...

Barry? Come and see this.

Coming.

Wow. Those round things are nice.

They're called rings. In the spring the tree makes light-coloured wood

and darker wood in the summer.

Then nothing in autumn and winter.

-That means every year a new ring is made.

-That's incredible.

So, a tree grows pretty fast, then.

Barry. Barry!

-Hattie, you have to see the cherry tree!

-It's got treasure!

Well, we think so. Anyway, it's shiny, it must be treasure!

Things that shine? I love that so much!

And are there lots of them?

Um, we can't tell. You'd have to visit the tree.

Well, I fly. I can go up there.

Come on, let's get the treasure out of the cherry tree.

So, that means if you count all the rings,

you know how old the branch is. Five rings, five years.

And if you count the rings in the tree's trunk, you know its age.

-And to do that, you cut the trunk?

-That's right, but we won't.

Come on, we have some work to do.

We have to go and start making the tree better.

The treasure is in a hollow part of the trunk, near the second branch.

-Can you see it?

-I can only see some hollows with stones in them

and an old piece of cloth.

Are you sure? No treasure?

So, that's your really important mission?

Oh, dear. No, no, no! Hattie's coming!

Just a second. What have you got there, Squawk? Well?

Some treasure! But it's for us.

Wait. That pearl belongs to me.

-It's mine.

-No, wait.

-It's not squawk's fault.

-Or mine.

-Or his.

Whose fault is it then?

The cherry tree is Barry's hiding place, you know.

-The treasure belongs to him.

-Really?

So why has he got one of my pearls, then?

It's best if you ask him yourself,

because only he can give you a full answer.

Brendan, has Barry finished helping you?

He has to go to the elm tree. Right now.

-All right, but you take his place to help me mend the branch.

-No problem.

What's at the elm tree?

A surprise.

Hmm?

Why did you take my pearl?

-To make you a present.

-A funny kind of present.

I've been collecting things with holes, and the pearl was perfect.

And what are you going to make with all this?

Oh! It's a necklace! Is it for me?

Want to try it on?

Um... I can't see myself.

-You're very pretty.

-Oh...

There we go. With that covered over, the tree won't get poorly.

And when it's better and there's no more snow,

you can come back and play here like before.

-We have to tell Barry. Where is he?

-With Hattie, I think.

A-ha! With Hattie. But where is she?

-Well, with Barry.

-And where's Barry now?

Well, with Hattie!

THEY LAUGH
