Hello, Emily. Only me!

-Oh! It's you, Jack.

-I'm sorry. Are you all right?

-I didn't mean to make you jump.

-You know me. Tough as old boots!

-I'll be all right once I get this sorted.

-Can I help?

You have enough pressing jobs to be getting on with.

What are you up to today, then?

The handle's come off this Toby jug. Look at that.

I'll glue it back on when I get back to the Rainbow.

-You've fixed that a few times over the years.

-Yes, I have.

Before I fix it, how about an ice cream?

Oh, there's something wrong with my ice-cream maker today.

Fingers crossed!

IT GROANS

-Oh! Leave off. Look.

-Thank you, Jack.

Oh dear. Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in again?

-Of course I have!

-Do you mind if I take a look?

-You're welcome.

-It's a silly old machine.

-Right.

-Let's have a look.

-Ah! What are you doing?

Hiding in there, you cheeky thing.

Ack-ack! Ack-ack!

-Seagulls!

-I've never seen that before.

You know what they say...

"When a seagull's playing peek-a-boo,

"it'll be a good day if you're wanting to glue."

-Are you sure they say that?

-Positive.

Right, well, this is certainly broken all right.

I think you need to call Sam Spinnaker.

-She'll know how to fix it.

-That's a good idea. I'll do that.

-You'd go better fix that Toby jug of yours.

-That's a good idea.

I'll see you later, Emily. Thank you. Good luck. Come on, Salty.

There she is. The Rainbow.

But what have you got for us today, me dear?

SHE TOOTS

Hey-hey! Come on, Salty.

# Dee-dee-dee-dee. #

Here we are.

Into your bed. Go on, into your bed. There's a good girl.

Do you know, I have had a few drinks out of this old Toby jug.

It's just good clean water and a hunk of ice. That's all you need.

Yes. What about the time you wanted ice in your drink, Salty?

Do you remember? Let me think. Ah, yes, I remember now.

This'll crinkle your crab sticks, this will.

Once upon a twinkly time, the Rainbow set off from Staithes,

waved goodbye to Whitby and disappeared over the horizon.

# Just Salty Dog and me

# Upon the silvery sea

# The sky is blue the sun is bright

# The rippling waves make a wonderful sight

# It's too hot to eat We both need a treat

# Just Salty Dog and me. #

What a scorcher of a day it was. It was hotter than a fireman's whistle.

What Salty needed was an ice cube to cool down her drink

but, sadly, we didn't have any ice.

And then, we heard a little "beep"!

I looked over, and bless my Dover sole, there was a little penguin

floating towards us on a piece of ice, blowing his emergency whistle.

"Ahoy there, young man, are you lost," I asked.

The penguin nodded, so we helped him up onto the Rainbow.

He explained that he was a member of the 123rd South Pole Rangers.

He'd been on a sponsored waddle and waddled too far out on his own.

He didn't notice that the ice behind him had cracked.

He'd been separated from his friends.

"We must get you back home," I said.

"Will I earn a badge," asked the penguin.

Salty wasn't sure, were you? No!

The penguin had an address label tied to one of his toggles.

"123rd Penguin Ranger Troop,

"Outer Edges of the Antarctic Continent," it read.

Well, I opened my map of the world

and that was near the South Pole, which was right at the bottom,

a long way from Staithes and very, very cold. "Come on, Rainbow.

"It's time to set sail," I said. But the Rainbow wasn't moving.

Poor boat. Its engine had conked out in the heat.

Salty suggested we give the Rainbow a rest

and we waved down a taxi instead. Good idea.

Salty had a card which read, "Dolphin Cabs - just whistle."

So we did.

And bam! A dolphin taxi whizzed up, just like that.

What excellent service!

"Hey, the meter's running. Get on board", said the taxi driver,

whose name was Donnie.

So, we all got on board. The penguin was very excited.

"Can I get a badge for this?" Salty wasn't sure, were you? No, no.

"Where are you guys going," asked the dolphin. "South," I said.

"Oakley-doakley." And then, before I could say any more... Whoa!

..the dolphin sped off through the ocean. "Beep beep!" shouted Donnie.

"Out of the way!"

And then, quite suddenly - eek, screech! -

- we came to a halt.

Ahead of us was a crowd of fish.

"Come on, come on, come on, what is this, a tea party?"

yelled Donnie to the fish. The penguin was absolutely thrilled.

"That was a brilliant ride," he cried. "Do I get a badge for this?"

Salty wasn't sure, were you? No, no.

Well, the shoal of fish briefly parted to reveal a traffic light.

It was stuck on red and nobody could drive through it.

"Well, that's it, then, I can't take you guys no further.

"You got to go on your own."

And with that, Donnie flipped us into the water!

"Good luck!" he shouted, before zooming off.

Well, there we were, floating in the sea, completely lost.

And then suddenly,

a snorkel appeared in the water in front of us.

It was the famous explorer, Sir Francis Fear-Not.

He had a waterproof map round his neck and knew exactly where we were.

We explained that we needed to get to the South Pole. "The South Pole?

"Why, I travel there all the time. You can do anything if you try."

He gave a loud whistle and a submarine rose

from behind some sea petals.

"All aboard!" he cried.

The next thing we knew, we were on board a submarine.

The submarine headed off to the South Pole.

We could feel it getting colder and colder.

"Nearly there," said Salty to the little penguin,

who had an icicle on his beak.

Well, Sir Francis stopped and raised the periscope to check

if there was anything on top.

He was very surprised to see four penguins, staring back at him!

Hooray! It was the rest of the 123rd Penguin Ranger Troop. Ha-ha!

They had been fishing and the periscope

had come up through their ice hole. We had done it. Yeah!

The penguins were back together again.

The Head Ranger thanked us and awarded our little

penguin friend with special badges for bravery,

adventure and waddling.

He was really thrilled. "Thank you for getting me home," he said.

And one by one, the penguins slid on their tummies into the sea.

Sir Francis Fear-Not jumped back into the submarine.

"Happy exploring!" he shouted. And he whizzed off.

That left Salty and me all alone, standing on a large chunk of ice.

What were we going to do?

Salty reminded me of what Sir Francis had said.

"You can do anything if you try."

With that, Salty picked up the fishing rods the penguins had

left behind and started to paddle home with gusto. Good old Salty!

-What a survivor. She deserved a badge for that.

-I

-think so.

Anyway, the ice started to melt all around us as it reached

warmer sea, so you can imagine how happy we were to spot a rainbow.

We had made it!

Salty was very thirsty when we climbed on board,

and do you know what?

That slab of ice we were travelling on had melted down to just

a tiny ice cube. Perfect to cool down Salty's drink.

And once we had fixed the engine,

we were ready to set sail for Staithes and home.

HE CHUCKLES

Did you like that story, Salty? Yeah? All true, of course.

Mind you, my stories always are.

Oh, look!

Come on.

-Can you deliver this to Sam?

-Ooh!

-Ho-ho! Look out, we've got company.

-Can't stop, Jack.

-Eh?

-Sam's fixed Emily's freezer.

-Oh!

Well, it looks like the ice cream is back on.

-HE WHISTLES

-Come on!

Hello there, you two. Look, I've been selling ice creams all morning!

So, the ice cream is nice and frozen, is it?

Oh, yes, everything running like clockwork. Thanks to Sam.

She is a clever girl.

-We've sold everything!

-Oh, no!

Well, you know what they say,

make hazelnuts while the sun shines.

And I'm watching them seagulls like a hawk.

They'll let me know when the weather is starting to turn.

When seagulls swoop the loop the loop,

under your brolly you must stoop.

Ah, that means rain! You'll need your brolly, Jack.

Oh, well, in that case, we'd better be off. Come on, Salty, teatime.

Oh, you won't be wanting this then, eh, Jack?

Oh, I would not say no, would I? Oh, that's marvellous.

-And what a wonderful Toby jug!

-It matches your other one.

-I couldn't resist.

-It's great, thank you.

Oh, I haven't forgotten you, Salty. Here you are.

One of your favourite dog biscuits.

Emily, come here. Mwah!

You're a marvel. Look at that, Salty. Go on, girl!

-Good girl, go on.

-See you later.

-Yes, thank you!
