to be in the spelling competition.

So wa'gwan, Bandulu?

Why them fall asleep during Missy D's class?

-Oh, me letting them down bad.

You teaching them the spellings for the competition.

The reason that them orphans fall asleep in Missy D's class is

-cos me been so worried that them lickle ones might come last!

-Oh.

So me wake them with some spelling before sunrise cos me tink

if them practise hard enough, them can win that prize.

-True dat!

-The lickle ones, them no problem. The problem is with me.

And the reason is, me can't spell good.

-Me forget all me words, you see.

-No worry, Bandulu.

but me promise the orphans me would be their spelling master.

No fret, Bandulu. Every problem have a solution.

But first you need to remember to write it!

-And not forget, me still have me lickle problem.

-That's right, crew.

Time to help Bandulu.

We have to tink of a way he can learn the spellings.

-And remember them, too.

-Hmm. Like a system. Eh, Zoomer?

Me wanna tell you how me always remember difficult things,

All you have to do is think of a lickle rhythm or some kind of rhyme.

Zoomer, you wanna give me a cool beat?

Check this out!

These words end with kicking K, E. Now say them out aloud with me.

Start with B, and you'll get "bake".

B-A-kicking K-E.

Start with a C and you get a tasty "cake".

C-A-kicking K-E.

C-A-K-E.

These are the words with I, C, E.

Now say them out loud along with me.

Gather round an M, and you'll get "mice".

M-I-C-E.

M-I-C-E.

When spelling is fun, things is "nice".

N-I-C-E.

Cool!

Rastamouse, me never know spelling could be so much fun!

And lickle ones, you ready for the competition?

And which of you lickle ones can now spell something

that Bandulu would do,

like..."bake"?

B-A-kicking K-E.

And now for the winning word.

If one of the orphans give me the correct spelling,
