0:01:26 > 0:01:28MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Good morning!- Morning, Jack!
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Look at what I found in the workshop, it's my old tennis ball.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Many a game won with that ball.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00I bet you'd like to play with that, wouldn't you, Salty?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Salty?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Hey, Salty, that's my ball! Come back!
0:02:11 > 0:02:16Don't worry, Ernie, she's not taken it, she just wants a race.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Salty!
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Salty! Salty!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Salty!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Salty?- Come here!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Ernie, what's going on?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Salty!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35You see, Captain Periwinkle, the more Ernie chases after Salty,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39the more she thinks he's trying to race with her.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Time for a cuppa, then!
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Oh, yes, please. Yes.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44You know, by the time I've finished this tea, she'll be back,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46don't you worry.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- SALTY BARKS - Salty! Salty!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Oh, morning Ernie. - Hello, Miss Bowline-Hitch.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Sorry, can't stop.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Salty!- He looks busy-busy!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Thank you, Salty.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Come on, Salty, old girl, it's time we went to the Rainbow.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Salty!
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Well done, Salty, you won that race all right!
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- I'll see you later, Sam.- Bye, Jack! - See you!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Bye, Ernie, better luck next time!
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Are you all right?
0:03:32 > 0:03:38There she is - the Rainbow. What have you got for us today, my dear?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39RAINBOW TOOTS
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Hey-hey! Come on, Salty.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Here we are.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58There you go, Salty, you curl up in your bed
0:03:58 > 0:04:01while I sit down and have a rest. In you go, that's a girl.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Watching you running around has quite tired me out!
0:04:05 > 0:04:10You know, Salty and Ernie racing about like that reminds me
0:04:10 > 0:04:14of the time we went to see the races at the Sea King's Games.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Do you remember that, Salty?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Let me get comfortable and I'll tell you all about it.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23This will whiffle your whiskers.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Once upon a twinkly time, the Rainbow set off from Staithes,
0:04:29 > 0:04:34waved goodbye to Whitby, and disappeared over the horizon.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39# Just Salty dog and me upon the briny sea
0:04:39 > 0:04:41# The breeze is blowing from way up high
0:04:41 > 0:04:45# The sun's looking down from his home in the sky
0:04:45 > 0:04:48# We'll call out our names and play silly games
0:04:48 > 0:04:52# Just Salty dog and me! #
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Well, we hadn't got very far when we noticed a long nose with lots
0:04:57 > 0:05:02of sparkly teeth sticking out of it, bobbing in and out of the waves.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08It was our old friend, George the swordfish, and he was in a hurry.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13"Hello, George!" I called out to him. "Where are you off to, then?"
0:05:13 > 0:05:18"The Sea King's Games," he shouted. "I'm hoping to win a medal."
0:05:18 > 0:05:23And with that, he dived back under the water. Sploosh!
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Well, Salty had never been to the Sea King's Games before
0:05:27 > 0:05:30and she thought it was well worth a visit,
0:05:30 > 0:05:35but just as we were setting off, I noticed something on the horizon.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39I had a look through my trusty telescope, and what did I see?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44The Hurly-Burly, and there on the poop deck was the trickiest pirate
0:05:44 > 0:05:47ever to sail the seven seas, Kitty Cutlass.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51"Where be you off to, Jack?" she shouted.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55"We're off to the Sea King's Games to see George win a medal."
0:05:55 > 0:05:59"Medal, hey?" said Kitty with a crafty smile.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02"I think I might join you."
0:06:02 > 0:06:06And so before you could say "jiggling jellyfish", Kitty,
0:06:06 > 0:06:12Salty and I were all under the water on our way to the Sea King's Games.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14We could hear the crowds cheering
0:06:14 > 0:06:17as we headed towards the huge golden stadium.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Two rather splendid soldier fish let us in, and there we were,
0:06:22 > 0:06:27we'd arrived. The Sea King was there in all his splendour.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31"Welcome to my wonderful Games," he announced.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36"There will be swimming and splashing and diving competitions,
0:06:36 > 0:06:41"and all the winners will receive one of these gold medals."
0:06:42 > 0:06:48He pointed to a large wooden box filled with shiny gold medals.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Kitty's eyes lit up.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55"Gold!" she whispered with a twinkle in her eye.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Just then, George swam by, and he didn't look happy.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04"Hello, George," I said. "Which competition are you in?"
0:07:04 > 0:07:06"None," he sighed.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10"All the fish in the swimming race are faster than me,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13"all the fish in the diving competition are more graceful
0:07:13 > 0:07:16"than me, and all the fish in the splashing contest
0:07:16 > 0:07:19"are bigger and splashier than me."
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Poor George, he felt very left out.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30He gazed at the box of medals and sighed a deep swordfish sigh.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32HE SIGHS
0:07:32 > 0:07:37Just then, there was a mighty cheer as the fastest fish race started.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43But one person wasn't cheering - Kitty Cutlass.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48She was looking with greedy eyes at the gold medals in the box.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53She had a quick look over her shoulder, and then she sneaked away.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55What was she up to?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Salty watched her go with a very careful eye.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03The fastest fish race came to an end, and of course Speedy,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05he'd won again!
0:08:05 > 0:08:10George sighed as he watched Speedy whizz across the finishing line.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14"Speedy gets a medal every year," said George sadly,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18"and I've never won once, not once."
0:08:18 > 0:08:21"I wish there was a medal for sawing."
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Now, everybody was looking at Speedy,
0:08:24 > 0:08:29and nobody except Salty saw what happened next.
0:08:29 > 0:08:35A huge net slowly floated down from above and, with a great scoop,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38it grabbed the box of gold medals
0:08:38 > 0:08:41and slowly lifted them off the seabed.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Who could be fishing for medals?
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Yes, you've got it! Kitty Cutlass.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52On board the Hurly-Burly that was parked right above.
0:08:52 > 0:08:58"I've done it, I got the medals," she laughed. "Now to get away."
0:08:58 > 0:09:02The Hurly-Burly gave a great lurch, and it was off.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Under the sea, the bulging net was dragged off above the heads
0:09:07 > 0:09:08of all the happy sea creatures.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Salty barked a bark but we were all too busy listening
0:09:13 > 0:09:15to the Sea King to notice.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20"Ladies, gentlemen and fish," he said grandly,
0:09:20 > 0:09:27"I present to Speedy, the fastest fish, a gold medal."
0:09:27 > 0:09:29He reached down to take a gold medal from the box
0:09:29 > 0:09:32and of course the box wasn't there.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36"What?" he spluttered. "Where are my medals?"
0:09:36 > 0:09:37There they go!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Salty woofed wildly as she pointed up at the sunlit water
0:09:41 > 0:09:43above our heads.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47"That Kitty Cutlass, she's done it again," I said.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51We all watched on helplessly,
0:09:51 > 0:09:57but then Salty's whiskers began to whiffle.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59She was having one of her ideas.
0:09:59 > 0:10:05She had a quick word in George's ear and his little face lit up.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Then he shot off, leaving a trail of bubbles
0:10:08 > 0:10:12and a very confused crowd of sea creatures behind him.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18"What is that little sawfish doing?" boomed the Sea King.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22George knew exactly what he was doing.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27The Hurly-Burly was moving slowly through the water,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30as it dragged its heavy haul of gold medals.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35George soon caught up with it. Then, with a swish of his long nose
0:10:35 > 0:10:38and a flash of his sparkly teeth, he started to saw.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43He sawed and he sawed
0:10:43 > 0:10:47through the net until he started to open up a hole.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53And the hole got bigger and bigger, and then, with a huge rip,
0:10:53 > 0:10:58the net burst open and the box of medals floated downwards.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Free at last!
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Up above, Kitty hauled in her net.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07It was empty!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11"Where's my treasure gone?" she howled.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16The answer was "right back where it belonged".
0:11:16 > 0:11:18To the sound of cheering,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21George presented the box of medals to the Sea King.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27The mighty monarch bent down to the box and picked out the shiniest
0:11:27 > 0:11:32and biggest medal. He hung it round George's neck.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38"George sawfish," he said, "this is for saving the medals
0:11:38 > 0:11:45"and saving the day. I present you with a gold medal for sawing."
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Do you know, as he accepted his medal,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54I think I saw a tear in George's eye.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58He was the happiest fish alive,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02and so with the sound of cheering sea creatures in our ears,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Salty and I headed back to the Rainbow.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12The Games were over, and we were going back to Staithes and home.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17I bet George is flashing his medal all over the place!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Ho-ho! That was good, you know.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22THE RAINBOW TOOTS
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Do you like that story, Salty? All true, of course.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Mind you, my stories always are! Ha-ha!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Come on.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Way up!- Wee! LAUGHTER
0:12:46 > 0:12:50It looks like Ernie and Sam have had a change of game, Salty.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- Hello, Jack!- What are you playing now, Sam?- It's great, Jack.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00- Look, the ball is on a string.- So Salty can't run off with it again.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04However hard we hit the ball, it just goes round the pole.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Watch!
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Oh, no!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Here we go again! Salty! Salty!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Salty!- Salty?
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Hi, Emily.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Oh, not another race, Ernie.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- You'll be worn out!- Salty!
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Here she comes. Come on, Salty.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37There's a girl, what a good girl.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I'll tell you what, Ernie - you keep racing about like this,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43you're going to be as fit as a fiddle.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Ernie?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Come on, Salty, I think Ernie has had enough for one day.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Look at that!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53See you later, Sam. Bye-bye, Ernie.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Bye, Jack!
