Whose family are we going to meet today?

Honou's!

Honou is four years old.

He lives with his mum and cat, Katini,

in a town by a river.

He often visits his grandparents, who live close by.

Yay!

Let's do the Lulu dance. Ready?

I wonder what they're up to today?

It's morning and Mum is waking Honou up from the land of dreams.

Honou, time to wake up. Honou.

You all right? Give me a cuddle.

-Mm!

-MUM LAUGHS

-You sleep well?

-Yeah.

Do you want to put your onesie on?

-CAT MEOWS

-Pussy! Pussy!

-Time for a cuddle, puss?

-Katini is already awake.

-Have a nice cuddle.

-He slept on your bed last night again.

You get yourself dressed, I'll see you in a minute.

Honou likes to wear a cat onesie.

And he's not the only one.

-Honou.

-Yeah?

Breakfast time, and Honou has a big bowl of cereal.

-Excellent.

-That's a lot.

-You didn't wake up before me today, did you?

-No.

-What do you normally do when you wake up before me?

-Wake you up.

-Mm. How do you wake me up?

-Like this.

Mm, that's nice.

-No! Not like that.

-THEY LAUGH

-Just with a little kiss.

-Just one time is funny.

Just one time is funny, that's right.

I think Katini's hungry too.

So is that how our cat has his breakfast?

Honou's finished his food. Time for Katini's.

Then we need to feed the cat.

I thought you were the pussycat? You don't want some? No? All right.

-It's stinky!

-Pussycat likes it, doesn't he?

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.

How's breakfast, Pussy, meow?

-Honou?

-Yeah?

-Will you let the cat out?

-Yeah.

Everyone's fed, ready for the day.

-Bye-bye.

-Bye-bye, Katini.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Can you help me find a peapod?

Honou and Mum both love growing vegetables in the garden.

Oh, those are so sweet!

-Is it good?

-Uh-huh.

Today, they'll eat some they've grown for dinner.

First, they have to find them.

-Can you help me tip the bag?

-Yeah.

-Right.

Can you start to pull the plants?

I wonder what's inside all that soil?

-Let's break it all up and see what we can find.

-A potato!

One potato.

Potato! Potato!

Potato!

I think they might just be potatoes!

-Any more?

-Potato! Potato!

We've got loads here.

-This is like digging for treasure, isn't it?

-Yeah.

Do you want to kick your feet around in that,

see if you can find any more?

I think I might kick a potato!

I think you've got them all now, Honou.

There's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15...

-What do you think we could make with these?

-Potato pie.

-Potato pie? Or...

-Potato cake.

-We can make mashed potato?

-Roast potato.

I think we need to think about clearing up this mess.

-How about we move some plants and get the broom?

-Yeah.

-Can you find the broom?

-You move the plants, I get the broom.

This is going to be teamwork.

This is going to be teamwork, you're right there, Honou.

Good job, team member Honou. Help me to pop the potatoes in here.

The potatoes are put away safely for later.

Look at all these potatoes.

And there's only one thing left to do.

-Sweep up.

-Sweep up, you're right.

Go on, push, push, push. Brilliant, Honou.

-I've sweeped loads now.

-Look, the smallest potato in the world ever.

-Did you ever see a potato so small?

-No.

-You have done so well there.

-I'm going to sweep you up.

-No, not me!

THEY GIGGLE

Honou's bike was built by his grandad.

He's riding it to the park.

It's an electric bike, so there's no need to peddle.

And Honou wears his favourite crash helmet to protect his head.

-Right. Shall we go up to the end of the pier?

-Yeah.

It's not far to the park,

but there's a lot to see and do on the way.

All right, you can play about up here, if you like, for a bit.

Vroom-vroom! Vroom-vroom!

-Shall I have a go?

-I think you might fall off.

You think I might fall off? Oh, I don't know.

When you get to me, turn any way you like.

You can go this way or this way.

-Do you want me to go straight for you?

-Any way you like.

-Ready?

-Yeah. Right or left, you can go.

-Here I come. Here I come!

Don't you move. No! Oh, I was going to go that way.

Wow. Oop! Oops!

-Now can I have a go on?

-Yeah, sure.

-It's a bit too small for me, really.

-Yeah.

Grandpappy made it the right size for you, didn't he?

-Ee-ee-ee-ee!

-Are you all dizzy?

You're dizzy? Yeah, I thought so.

No! No!

-I see you!

-No!

-It's not a lot.

-It's not very deep, no.

Off the bike, it's time for a quick paddle.

Well, I think it's too far down, I don't think you'll get down there.

Just go very carefully, because it is slippy.

Ooh, does that feel squelchy under your feet? Urgh!

-Mine are dirty.

-Mine feels like I'm treading on slugs.

You're going to fly!

Shoes back on.

Whoa! Honou has decided to ride over the bumps.

HIS VOICE SHAKES

Time for another stop.

-Do you think they look hungry?

-Yeah.

Luckily, Honou's got a special treat.

One big throw.

Excellent! Hello, Mr Swan.

Oh, look, the swan's stolen it.

Good throw! That went a long way. Say, "Bye-bye, swans."

They've finally arrived at the park.

-Oh, dear!

-THEY LAUGH

That wasn't a very graceful exit, was it?

Honou likes all the playground rides.

But his favourite is the springy whale.

And he's quite happy to share.

Hold on tight. Whoo!

THEY LAUGH

Whoo!

-I'm going to run you over.

-Wahey!

-Shall we drive home?

-Yep. Now.

-Come on, then. Let's go back.

Home time.

Honou can ride his very special bike all the way.

We grew some good potatoes, didn't we?

-Did you enjoy growing the potatoes, Honou?

-Yeah.

You need to be eaten one day.

We need to eat you today.

Honou is helping prepare the potatoes from the garden.

-Let's make some mashed potato.

-Yes, look, all of these.

-We're going to eat all of these. All peeled.

-Boing!

Come on, then, let's go back into the kitchen.

The potatoes have been cooked and now it's time to...

Mash! Mash!

Squidge. Bash.

-Milk.

-You can mash that in.

-Butter.

-There you go. Pop that in. That's good.

-Mashing everything in.

-Shall we mash some cheese in?

-Yeah.

No, come on.

We needed it in our mash. Just scrape half of it in.

Again. Again. And again.

Worm sheets. Worm sheets.

-Worm sheets?

-Yum-yum!

Can you pick a wiggly worm up?

-How's that?

-Yum!

-Yeah?

Dinner's ready.

They're having fish fingers and beans with their potatoes.

-What do you think of the potatoes?

-Yum!

Mm! They're good.

Did you grow some more?

-You want to grow some more?

-Mm-hm.

We have to wait until next year to grow more.

I wonder if Katini's hungry.

Let's give him some potato.

-He can have a little taste.

-Yum!

Honou gives Katini a try just as a special treat.

He likes that, doesn't he?

-He wants more.

-You all right, Puss?

What a tasty dinner they've had, with home-grown potatoes.

I wonder who we're going to meet next time on Our Family.
