Miaow!

Whoa! Mind that puddle, Jess.

Oh, wait a minute!

You'd forgotten this parcel, Pat. It's for Ted.

Oh, thank you, Mrs Goggins.

What a strange shape. I wonder what it is.

Hop in then, Jess. We'd better be off. ..Cheerio.

Bye, Pat. Bye, Jess.

Miaow!

Ooh! Oh!

So, to be really healthy,

you should eat at least five pieces of fruit or vegetables every day.

Mm, I love fruit.

That's great because today, we're going on a fruit hunt.

-ALL CHEER

-Wicked!

Mr Pringle, Mr Pringle, where are we going to find the fruit?

Why, here in Greendale.

People grow fruit all over the village.

Lots of it is ready for eating right now.

There's load of ripe fruit on our farm, Mr Pringle.

Great, Bill. But check with me before you pick anything.

ALL LAUGH

Just to make sure it's OK.

ALL: Yes, Mr Pringle.

Let's go and collect as many fruits as we can.

-Then can we eat them, Mr Pringle?

-Of course we can, Sarah.

-I don't really like fruit, sir.

-I'm sure we'll find something you like.

-Fruit is very good for you, Julian.

-And it's delicious.

-Well...

maybe.

Come on, Jess.

That's a very big puddle, Jess.

Oooh!

-Miaow! Miaow.

-Oh, dear.

Waaaaow.

You've got the parcel. It's the final part for my new invention.

Oh, no! Now my feet are soaking wet.

Wet feet? Hee-hee! I've got just the thing for that.

Take those wet shoes and socks off and I'll be back in a minute.

I can't be too long, Ted. I've only just started my round.

Eurgh, wet socks!

Maou!

These blackberries are wonderful. Look at this one.

-Blackberries are my favourite fruit.

-And mine.

This is an extra juicy one.

-ALL LAUGH

-You're right, Reverend! It IS juicy!

Oh, yes! Ha-ha-ha!

I don't like blackberries, Mr Pringle.

Don't worry, Julian. We're going to Thompson ground, now.

There's bound to be a fruit there that you like.

Mm.

Ta-da!

My new invention.

A sock dryer.

Miaoo!

Your socks will be completely dry in seconds.

-A sock dryer?

-It works by squeezing all the water out.

You just put the socks in here, and away we go.

BEEP!

CHUG-CHUG-CHUG!

Is it, er... Is it supposed to smoke, Ted?

Eh? Oh, aye. Don't worry.

-BEEPING

-Here they come.

Two beautiful, dry, warm socks.

Oh, no!

-I'm sorry, Pat.

-Now, I've got holey socks AND wet shoes.

I can't finish my rounds like this.

Don't worry. I'm sure I can find some spare shoes you can wear.

Mm.

Just look at these melons.

They're... They're... They're ginormous.

Dad said we could have these out of his greenhouse.

You wait until you try them, Julian.

I don't really like melon. It's too watery.

This is the best melon you've ever tasted.

If I could just get it on this table.

ALL GASP

SHE GASPS

Mmmmmmm!

Delicious!

ALL LAUGH

Erm, sorry about this, Pat, but these are the only shoes I can find.

Pink slippers?

-I've looked everywhere, but I've nowt else.

-Oh, well.

I'm sure they'll be fine.

Miu!

How do I look?

Oooow!

Ho-ho-ho-ho!

-Oh, hello. What are you all up to?

-Hello, Mum. We're on a fruit hunt.

What an excellent idea.

We've got to find as many different fruits as we can.

Mr Thompson said we could pick his plums. And the apples.

We'll take some back to school to see which fruit we like best.

Fruit is very good for you.

Apples are my favourite.

I like plums best.

Oh!

Ha-ha!

It isn't much fun for me - I don't like any fruit.

Don't you like apples or plums, Julian?

Not really.

< Julian!

Can you shake the tree? I can't reach.

OK.

Keep going. They'll fall off soon.

It's no good. I don't think these apples will ever come down.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Ow! Oof!

Oh, dear! Oh, are you all right, Julian?

I'm fine, thanks.

What's going on, here?

Huh! Are you all right, Julian?

Yes, thank you, Dad. We're on a fruit hunt.

-It looks like you've found some!

-I think we have!

There's only one apple left.

Eeeuuuuooooow!

Look out, Jess!

Miaaaaaaoooow!

Poor Jess. Come on.

Who would have thought so much could happen on a fruit hunt?

You'd better take it back to school before anything else happens.

We need five. You're supposed to eat five pieces of fruit a day.

-Well, Jess and I have had enough of apples!

-Yaow!

-What about bananas?

-I don't think bananas grow in Greendale, Lucy.

No, but I know where there are some.

Come on, let's go.

-ALL: Bye!

-Bye!

Oh, before I forget, I've got a parcel for you, Doctor.

Ooh, thank you, Pat.

Oh!

My goodness, Pat. Hmmm! Where are your shoes, today?

Oh, it's a long story.

Bananas are my favourite fruit.

I don't like bananas.

They go all squidgy and black in your bag.

-I've just remembered.

-What?

-We have some fruit growing at school!

-Have we?

-Yes!

-Growing right in the school garden.

-Where?

-Come on, I'll show you.

You're bound to like these, Julian.

-Found any fruit you like, yet, Julian?

-No, Dad.

But we will, Mr Clifton. We will.

-JESS:

-Miaow!

Morning, Dr Gilbertson.

Don't suppose you've seen Pat, have you?

Yes, he's just - ahem - he's just gone. He's on his way to the cafe.

Right-o. Thanks.

-Bye.

-You can't miss him.

He's wearing pink fluffy slippers.

Thanks for the letter, Pat. Do you want a cup of tea?

Oh, no thanks. I'm a bit late as it is.

-Ahem. Pat?

-Yes?

Do you know you're wearing pink fluffy slippers?

My feet got wet at the mill, and these are all Ted had.

So, those are Ted's pink fluffy slippers?!

You can't wear those all day, Pat!

I'll pop home and get you some dry shoes and socks.

Thanks. That would be great.

-Can we meet at the school?

-No problem.

See you later.

Now, lots of people think tomatoes are vegetables.

But they're not. They are a fruit, actually.

They've got loads of pips.

They're the seeds. The tomato needs them to make new plants.

How am I going to eat five pieces of fruit every day,

when I don't like any of them?!

Thanks, love. That's great.

Ha! Leave them alone, Jess.

-Hello! Have you seen Pat?

-He's just gone to the school.

Right-o. Thanks. Bye.

Er...

Bye, Ted.

CHATTER

Look at all this food we've collected.

-That's wonderful.

-All washed and ready to eat.

The most important thing about tomatoes

is to give them lots of water,

-otherwise they won't be big, plump, juicy tomatoes...

-Oh! Watch out!

What?

Oops! Oooh.

Sorry, Pat.

Oh, no...

Not wet feet again.

I've been looking everywhere for you, Pat.

Oh!

-Your feet are wet.

-I know! Again!

-Grand.

-Why's that?

I've mended my new sock-drying machine, and now it works perfectly.

Take them wet socks off, and I'll have them dry before you know it.

Um...all right. Back in a minute.

Come on, everybody, I'll show you how it works.

Oh, no!

Oh no, Jess! This machine is for socks, not fruit!

Oh dear, Ted! It's making a terrible mess.

-Hang on!

-Nice one, Julian!

Mmm!

That's delicious! Let's make some more.

# We've got the fruity feeling

# We're gonna make some juice

# Squeezing it up, whatever they can Let the juice begin! #

Mmmm!

That tastes even better!

Well, I never!

Looks like you've found the perfect use for your sock-dryer, after all!

I think I have, Pat!

Now the children can have their five pieces of fruit in one glass.

-I'm sorry about your socks, Pat.

-Oh, it's OK, Ted.

-Cool slippers, Dad!

-Thanks, Julian!

You know, I think I'm getting used to them!

# Squeezing it up, whatever they can Let the juice begin! #
