Oopsy's Fairy Tale Q Pootle 5

-Hi, Pootle!

-Oopsy!

Ah, ah, ah-choo!

Eddi!

Stella!

Groobie!

OOPSY GIGGLES

And the brave little princess

walked and walked through the deep, dark forest until she was lost.

On and on she went until she started to feel very tired.

Oh, dear!

Just when she thought

she couldn't walk another step, the she suddenly saw...

Printed by the Galactor Publishing Company.

-What?

-What?

Oh, dear, that's very odd. The last page is missing.

Oh, no! What happen happened to the brave little princess?

What did she say in the deep, dark forest?

What are we going to do, Groobie? What are we going to do?

The page must be around here somewhere. Why don't we look for it?

If we don't find that missing page, we'll never know how the story ends.

It might have blown away. Or been eaten by space mice.

-It could be anywhere.

-It must be somewhere.

I'm going to find it, and when I do,

we'll know what happened to that brave little princess.

Well, good luck, Oopsy.

# Porridge, porridge, hot and sweet

# For breakfast makes a lovely treat

# Enjoy it with a tasty cuppa for lunch and tea and even supper! #

Oh! Tweezleberries!

I can't eat my porridge without tweezleberries.

Stella will have some.

Maybe Pootle will help me look. Pootle!

Pootle! Pootle!

Oh! He's not here.

He's been making porridge!

SNIFF SNIFF

Oh, smells delicious!

I'm sure he won't mind if I have a tiny taste.

Mmm! Mmm!

Yummy!

Oh! It's all gone.

I'll help him make some more when he gets back.

SHE YAWNS

But first I think I'll have a little rest.

There you go, Pootle, some freshly picked tweezleberries.

Just what I need.

If I hurry, my porridge will still be warm when I get home. Thanks, Stella.

You're very welcome. Bye, then.

Who's been sitting in my chair?

And who's been eating my porridge?

And who's sleeping in my bed?

Oh! That's very strange.

I need to find that missing page.

There's something up in that tree!

Maybe it's the missing page.

Fee-fi-fo-fum, missing page, here I come!

Oh! It's not the missing page.

It's a boot.

RAY YAWNS

Hey, Ray, look what I found! I wonder whose boot it could be.

-Let's see if it will fit you, Ray.

-RAY CAWS

No. It's much too big. Maybe I should try.

-No. It doesn't fit.

-Oh, hello, what's going on here, then?

Hi, Stella. I found this boot and I was wondering who it belonged to.

Let me try.

There!

It fits! Yay!

It's one of my spare winter boots. Hmm... Where did you find it?

Halfway up the tree.

Ray, have you been messing about with my wellies again?

I'd better be going.

If you're passing by Eddi's, could you give him this pumpkin, please?

OK. Bye, Stella. Bye, Ray.

I have a missing page to find.

Missing page? What missing page?

Eddi? Eddi?

Oh. No missing page here.

I'll try round the back.

SPACESHIP NOISES

SQUISH!

The pumpkin!

Hello, Oopsy. What's the matter?

There was a pumpkin there, and now there's a spaceship.

-You squashed it.

-That's all right, I'll have pumpkin soup instead.

Ha ha ha!

Well, I think I'll go back to Groobie's.

-Jump in, Oopsy. I'll give you a lift.

-Thanks, Eddi.

I spent all day looking for the missing page,

but I couldn't find it anywhere.

What a dusty old lamp!

Hello, Oopsy.

What can I do for you? Did you find the missing page?

I looked everywhere, I just couldn't find it.

Oh, dear. I wish I could help.

Did you find it? Did you find it?

Sorry, Bud-D.

-Oh!

-Well, this is a pretty pickle, isn't it?

A story with no ending.

Groobie, Oopsy, Bud-D!

-Hello, Pootle.

-What's the matter?

Groobie's lost the last page of his book,

and now we'll never know how the story

of the brave little princess ends.

Oh, dear!

-Well, maybe YOU could make up the end of the story, Oopsy!

-Me?

-I'm sure you could.

-Yes, go on, Oopsy.

I like a good story, me. Especially if it has a happy ending.

Well, I suppose I could try.

We were up to the part

when the brave little princess was lost in the deep, dark forest.

-And then she saw something.

-What did she see, Oopsy?

She saw a lovely little house.

-Oh, that's nice!

-And she went inside.

-And on the table was a bowl of porridge.

-Porridge? Very tasty.

And the brave little princess sat down and ate all the porridge.

Hee hee! Oh, dear.

Then, after she'd had a sleep, she left the little house

and walked a bit further until she came to...a...

-A great big beanstalk.

-Ooh! How exciting!

And then she climbed up the enormous beanstalk.

It was so high it went right up into the sky.

-You wouldn't have liked that, would you, Ray?

-RAY CAWS

And at the top of the beanstalk,

the brave little princess found a beautiful glass slipper.

-A glass slipper!

-What did she do with it, Oopsy?

She asked everyone to try it on, but it just wouldn't fit.

Oh, no!

But finally, she met another princess,

and it fitted her perfectly.

-Hooray!

-Oh!

And then that princess gave the brave little princess a pumpkin.

-Yummy! Did she eat it?

-No, because...

..it turned into a magic coach

and carried the brave little princess through the sky.

How exciting! What happened next, Oopsy?

Erm...

Then the brave little princess found a magic lamp

and she rubbed the magic lamp,

and a wise old genie popped up and...

And...

he made everyone a delicious smoothie!

And they all lived happily ever after. The end!

-Brilliant!

-Great story!

-Well done, Oopsy!

I have a question.

-Where do you get all your ideas from?

-I don't really know, Eddi.

I like your ideas, Oopsy,

especially the one about having a smoothie.

And maybe when we've finished our smoothies,

-you can tell us another story.

-I'd love to!

I wonder whatever happened to that missing page...
