0:00:11 > 0:00:14SEAGULLS SQUAWK
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Ah, hello there.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I'm Old Jack and this is Salty.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Salty loves living here with me
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and she often has adventures of her own.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35So, are you sitting comfortably?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Good.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Then I'll tell you one of Salty's Waggy Tales.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Once upon a twinkly time,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Salty was trotting along the windy path
0:00:49 > 0:00:51looking for sniffs to sniff...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53when she noticed something.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57It was a letter. Salty read the writing on the front. It said...
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Well, Salty was a little surprised
0:01:03 > 0:01:07to see Shelley's letter lying there on the windy path.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Perhaps the wind had blown the letter up there and left it behind!
0:01:12 > 0:01:16So Salty decided the best thing to do was to pick up the letter
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and deliver it to Shelley herself.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Ha-ha! So, she carried the letter along the windy path,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26past the tumbly houses, down the slippery steps,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30and finally, across to the Mermaid Cafe,
0:01:30 > 0:01:35where she carefully put the letter on a table for Shelley to find it.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40Ha-ha! "That was a good job well done," thought Salty.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Then she scampered off to search for sniffs.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Salty made her way
0:01:45 > 0:01:48back up to the windy path, and there,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51she looked out over Staithes
0:01:51 > 0:01:55to check on all the comings and goings down below.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And then she saw something odd.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00It was a letter
0:02:00 > 0:02:05and it was the same letter she'd just delivered to Shelley.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Well, this was very confusing. How had it got there?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Salty knew what she needed to do.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17She carefully picked up the letter and set off again.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19She carried the letter
0:02:19 > 0:02:20along the windy path,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22past the tumbly houses,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24down the slippery steps,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26and across to the Mermaid Cafe,
0:02:26 > 0:02:31where she carefully put the letter on a table for Shelley to find it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Now, this time, Salty decided to keep an eye on the letter
0:02:36 > 0:02:38until Shelley picked it up.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41So she lay down and waited.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44And what do you think she saw?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46After a couple of moments,
0:02:46 > 0:02:50one of those cheeky seagulls came flapping down,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54landed on the table and picked up the letter.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56It then flew high in the sky,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58heading for the windy path.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Salty knew exactly what was going on here.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05That seagull was playing tricks on her.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09With a woof, she scampered off after it.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11She ran back up to the windy path,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13in time to see the cheeky seagull
0:03:13 > 0:03:15drop the letter
0:03:15 > 0:03:19right where Salty had found it in the first place.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Well, Salty does not like being outsmarted by seagulls.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Ooh, no.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29So, she picked up the letter again
0:03:29 > 0:03:32and carried it to a nearby fisherman's cottage.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34She then placed it on the step,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36as if she was delivering it,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38and she waited.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43And sure enough, the cheeky seagull saw this and swooped down,
0:03:43 > 0:03:47picked up the letter and shot off high into the sky,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51and that was exactly what Salty wanted it to do.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54She chased the seagull along the windy path,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56past the tumbly houses,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58down the slippery steps,
0:03:58 > 0:03:59until she saw it
0:03:59 > 0:04:02high above Shelley's Cafe.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06And then Salty gave a huge WOOF!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08SALTY BARKS
0:04:08 > 0:04:10The seagull was so surprised,
0:04:10 > 0:04:11it squawked...
0:04:11 > 0:04:14and the letter came tumbling down,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18and it landed safely on one of the Mermaid Cafe's tables. Ha-ha!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Well done, Salty!
0:04:21 > 0:04:27She had tricked that cheeky seagull into delivering the letter.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Salty then settled down to guard the letter
0:04:30 > 0:04:34until Shelley came out of the kitchen. That way,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37no seagulls could play games with it again.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Ha-ha! Clever Salty!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42She's the best dog in the world.
