The Hermit Crabs Octonauts

'Octonauts, to your stations.'

Barnacles!

Kwazii!

Peso!

-Explore!

-Rescue!

-Protect!

Hoo! Ooh!

Ah!

I think that means go.

BOTH: Heave!

Ah! Ba-ba-ba!

Captain Barnacles to Octopod.

Octopod here. Go ahead, Cap.

-Tweak, Peso, our trip to the beach is in a bit of...

-Trouble!

What kind of trouble?

A completely stuck kind of trouble.

-In fact, I don't think we're going to make it home.

-Ah!

In time for dinner.

Oh! Captain, Kwazii, where are you?

Stuck in a rock pool.

We were so busy exploring that when the tide went out,

it left us in.

-We'll just have to make the best of it.

-Ow!

Did anyone bring a beach ball?

All kinds of creatures get stranded in rock pools

until the tide comes back in to free them.

Look at this beautiful shell!

We'll have to wait here for an hour

until the tide brings the water back in again.

Peso, you're in charge until we get back.

Me? Righto, Captain.

I need you to keep a watch on things until we get back to the Octopod.

I'll do my best to keep everything under control here.

You can do it, Peso.

Barnacles out.

Pr-trr!

Me-me! Noo!

Sorry. We'll play again later.

Right now, I have to get to HQ.

It looks nice and calm out there.

That's good. Let's check the radar, Tweak.

I don't see anything unusual on the radar.

Hm. That's good.

Let's listen for any unusual sounds coming from outside the Octopod.

No unusual sounds out there.

That's good.

GROANING

That's not good.

It sounds like a...creature who needs help.

We've got to do something, Tweak. We've got to...

Sound the octo-alert?

SIREN Octonauts, to the launch bay.

Octonauts, I've got to find whatever's making that noise.

Don't forget to use the camera on the GUP.

Yes, so we can see what you see out there.

Remember, now, we're right here ready to help you.

BEEPING

Um, Peso...

Oh, right, OK.

Hm-hm-hm!

Open the octo-hatch.

Please.

You got it, Peso.

Well, Professor, Peso may be a little shaky,

but he's doing fine.

Yes. Peso's never too frightened to help.

Once he's learned something might be in danger, nothing stops him.

Huh?!

Oh...

It has to be nearby.

'Agh! Ah!'

I hear it, but I don't see anything.

'Agh! Ooh!'

'Peso, use the camera to help you look.'

Righto.

Whoa!

Oh! Flappety flippers! What's that?

Nng!

Hm, I believe it's a hermit crab.

Not dangerous.

But very unhappy at the moment.

Right. Time for a check-up.

Hello.

My name is Peso.

I'm an octonaut and a medic.

Can you tell me your name, please?

Get me out!

OK, Mr Gemmeout. Now this won't hurt a bit.

Oh, my name's not Gemmeout,

I want you to get me out of this shell.

-I'm STUCK!

-Ooh!

Ow! Ooh! It's no use.

Here, maybe I can pull you out.

Nnnnnnng...

Ow! Oh, that hurts!

Sorry.

Oh, I told you it was no use.

Don't worry, we'll get you out of that shell somehow.

I know someone who can help us.

What do you think, Tweak?

I'll cut open the shell with my octo-slicer.

And he'll be free, easy as pie.

Oh... 'Ere... Now what are you doing?

-We'll remove the shell for you. We'll just cut it open and...

-Stop!

Please stop!

Oh, hello.

Stop? Why?

Listen, I'm almost too big for the shell I'm in,

I need a new one, and that shell is just right, just right.

It may be too small for him, but it's a perfect size for me.

He's not the only hermit crab round here, you know.

Ooh, well, let's get on with it.

If you cut that shell in half, it'll be ruined. Ruined!

I'll never find another one like it and, believe me, I've looked.

If you don't mind my asking,

why do you keep changing shells anyway?

Oh, because hermit crabs can't grow their own shells,

so we borrow the shells of other animals for protection.

-We move into one shell...

-Grow up, get bigger...

And then move to a bigger shell.

So what can we do, Tweak?

Maybe I could just cut off the shell

and then try to glue it back together.

That's too risky.

I think we need a new plan.

'Captain, we have one hermit crab who needs to get out of his shell

'and another who wants to get in.'

We have to safely remove the crab from its shell.

There's only one thing to do, Peso.

We have to perform a crabectomy.

Captain, I've never performed a crabectomy before.

Even when I was in medical school.

Just watch out for those pinchy claws.

I'll talk you through the whole operation.

I had to perform an emergency crabectomy once

-in my polar bear cub days.

-Righto.

And I promise, we won't damage that shell.

Aye, aye, Captain!

Step one, steady the shell.

Step two, fasten the hose.

-Step three...

-Hm?

Prepare landing pad.

Ready, Tweak?

I really hope this works.

Me, too. Ahem! Captain, we're ready for the crabectomy.

All right, Peso.

This should take five big pumps of air to push him out.

You'll have to really put some muscle into it.

Ee! Ha-cha!

Flippers in place, Captain.

All right, on my count.

Five...

Hm?

Four...

-Hm?

-Three.

-Ah!

-Oh.

-Two.

-Ah!

Ah!

-One.

-Ah!

Ah...

Haaaa!

Yaa-aa-aa-aa!

Ooh.

Yay!

We did it!

Well done, Octonauts. And especially you, Peso.

Your first crabectomy.

Thanks, Captain.

-How are things in the rock pool?

-It looks like the tide's coming in.

-Octonauts, we're going home.

-Yay!

Where did he go?

-It's perfect!

-Hah?

Thanks for the new shell. See ya!

Oh. So now he's got my old shell,

what about me?

No shell, no protection, no nothing.

I'm naked! What am I going to do?

Hm...

WHIRRING Huh?!

It's the GUP-A!

They're back!

Peso!

Ta-da!

Oh!

How's this?

Ooh! Ooh!

Ooh, lovely!

Home, sweet home.

I think that should last you a while.

If you need someone to decorate your new home, we know a decorator crab.

LAUGHTER
