Ha...

Hmm..!

Ha-ha! Oh...

Not even a single sock to snack on.

And I'm so hungry, I could eat a whole drawer full of socks.

RUMBLE Huh?

Oh. Hmm.

Why does my tummy make noises when I'm hungry?

When you need to know, go to Okido!

-Hello, Zoe. Hiya, Felix. ZOE AND FELIX:

-Hi, Messy.

What's that?

This? It's a ball, Messy.

No, I meant what's in there?

Uh... Oh, what, in this box?

Um, well it's just... Um...

Mmm. I can smell it. It's got something yummy to eat in it.

Wow! Cake!

Uh, sorry, Messy. It's not for you.

It's for Lofty, to say "Thank you for finding our lost ball."

BUBBLING

Pardon, Messy? Did you say something?

No, no, I didn't say anything, Felix.

(Shush, tummy.)

It took us ages to bake,

and we want to take it to Lofty while it's still warm.

I'll help. Maybe Lofty will give us a slice.

BUBBLING

There's that noise again.

Oh, it's my tummy. It keeps making funny noises because I'm hungry.

OK. When we get to Lofty's, we can have something to eat then.

Yes!

Let's ski-doodle, Okidoodle!

-ALL:

-Hi, Lofty!

Hello, my little friends.

We've made this for you, to say thank you.

-For finding our ball.

-Cake!

Oh, what a lovely cake. Thank you.

BUBBLING I know, tummy.

Mmm. Yum-yum-yum.

Oh, Lofty, no!

You're eating the box as well! That isn't food.

Mmm. Yum.

RUMBLING

Uh-oh. It sounds like Lofty has got the same problem as you, Messy.

But Lofty can't be hungry. He's just eaten all the cake and a cake box.

RUMBLING

O-o-o-o-oh!

I don't feel well. My tummy aches.

-I think I had too much cake.

-RUMBLING

O-o-o-o-oh, dear.

I don't think it was the cake, Lofty.

You ate the cake box, too, by mistake.

I'll call Zim and Zam. They'll know how to make you feel better.

-Hi, Zim?

-ZIM:

-Hello, Zoe.

We need your help. We're at Lofty's house, and he isn't feeling well.

OK, Zoe. We're on our way.

Thank you. Over and out.

-ZIM:

-Hello, you three.

-ZAM:

-Hello.

So, which one of you has the tummy ache?

BUBBLING Shush, tummy!

Hee-hee-hee. Messy is hungry,

but Lofty ate loads of cake, and the cake box.

O-o-o-o-o-oh, dear.

Oh, dear. You can't eat cake boxes.

And eating too much cake is never a good idea.

And you'd know all about that, wouldn't you, Zim?

Humph. I was my birthday.

OK, Lofty.

Can we take a look inside your tummy

to find out what the problem is, please?

O-o-o-oh! Yes, please. Thank you.

-Do you three want to come with us?

-ALL THREE:

-Yes, please!

Let's oki-go-o-o-o-o!

To the escape pods!

-LOFTY:

-Ooh, ow!

Oh!

-ZIM:

-We're going in.

-FELIX:

-Open wide, Lofty.

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh...

-ZIM:

-So, now, we keep going down to the stomach.

BUBBLING I wish MY tummy would stop rumbling.

Oh, Messy! I forgot I had this. It might help.

Mmm. Yum-yum-yum.

Thanks, Felix.

Oh, it's very noisy in here.

It looks like we're in some sort of green soup.

Ooh. Where are we?

-ZIM:

-We have reached the stomach.

Whoa! Let's go outside and have a look.

Oh, no, no ,no! We can't leave the pods, Messy.

That green liquid isn't water. It's a powerful acid.

Acid? What's that?

Acid is the name for a special juice in your tummy

that breaks down the food you eat.

It's called digestion,

and it's how your body gets the goodness and energy it needs

from the food you eat.

Mmm. Is there acid in MY tummy, too?

Yes, Messy. Remember that rumbling coming from your tummy earlier?

It was noisy. Heh.

Well, when you're hungry, a signal travels to your brain,

and your brain tells your tummy to get more acid ready

to digest your food.

And, when your tummy is very empty,

you can hear the acid sloshing about more clearly.

Oh, so that's the rumbling we can hear.

It's the tummy saying, "Feed me!"

Oh, I get it.

And now I've eaten a sock, all the acid in my tummy is digesting it.

-Yes. That's right, Messy.

-BUBBLING

-Oops! Pardon me.

-Ha-ha-ha.

But why is Lofty's tummy still making so much noise

when he's not hungry?

The tummy makes all sorts of noises all the time as it digests food,

or gets ready to digest food.

But, sometimes, if you eat too much food,

or if you eat something that you shouldn't...

Like Lofty did with the cake box.

..Your tummy finds it hard to digest,

so it makes more acid.

And that can give you a tummy ache.

It's called indigestion.

Look! There's the cake box!

We need to get that cake box out of his tummy.

Oh, let me try.

Go on, then, Messy.

Come on. Let's oki-go-o-o-o-o!

-Hang on a second.

-That's it. Nearly there.

Just a bit more.

Oh!

Oh. Messy, this way. Yeah. Steady.

Steady...

O-o-o-o-oh!

-Oh, oh-oh. Oh-oh, I've got it!

-Oh, good.

Oh!

-Ah, I've dropped it.

-Oh, dear.

Oh, hang on...

Oh. Messy...

There we are...

-Hooray! ZOE AND FELIX:

-You did it!

-Well done, Messy.

-RUMBLING GETS LOUDER

-LOFTY:

-Hic... Hic... Hic!

What's that noise?

It sounds like Lofty has the hiccups.

Hiccups? Oh, no!

Don't worry, Messy. We all get hiccups from time to time.

They can sometimes happen if you've eaten too much or too quickly.

And, sometimes, other things cause them, too.

But they'll go away on their own, eventually.

-LOFTY:

-Hic...!

Whoa! But the pods could break up with all this crashing about.

Can we stop the hiccups?

Well, there are a few thing we can try.

We can give Lofty a fright. That sometimes works.

Oh, let me, let me! I'm a monster. I'm great at scaring.

Wooooooooooo!

Ha-ha-ha.

Messy, you're the friendliest and least scary monster I know.

Or drinking some water can help.

Or tickling.

Oh! I can tickle him! I'm great at tickling, too.

-Ha-ha-ha.

-LOFTY:

-Hic!

But we should probably just get out of here.

-LOFTY:

-Hic!

-ZAM:

-Oh! Buckle up, everybody, and let's go.

-LOFTY:

-Hic...! Hic...!

LOFTY BURPS

Balabalaboomboom!

Whoops. Pardon me.

Ha! No hiccups. And no tummy ache.

ALL: Hooray!

I feel so much better. Thank you.

Now, you need to be careful what you eat, Lofty.

And remember to chew things properly.

I certainly will.

MESSY YAWNS

All that adventure's tired me out. Time for me to go home now.

Bye, everyone.

Bye, Messy.

-OTHERS:

-Bye, Messy!

BUBBLING Ooh.

My tummy's rumbling again.

Hmmm.

My favourite.

This will stop my tummy being all rumbly.

Mmm.

Yum-yum-yum.

Bye-bye!

Balabalaboomboom!
