0:00:09 > 0:00:13# There's no need to whistle And there's no need to shout
0:00:13 > 0:00:17# Hey, hey, hey, hey! Help is on its way!

0:00:34 > 0:00:38In the outback, it's not that easy being a postman,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40especially if you're a turtle.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43PANTING
0:00:43 > 0:00:46George was running late as usual.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Huh?! But... Oh!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51But he was doing his best.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55George always likes to deliver post in person,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58rather than leaving it in the postbox.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03That's because his favourite part of the day is when he gets to say,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07"Good morning," as he hands over the post.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10GEORGE PANTS
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- Morning, Ned.- Morning, George. Is there anything for me today?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Well, er... let me have a little look see.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22HE MUMBLES TO HIMSELF Here you go.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Ah, thanks, George!
0:01:31 > 0:01:36BOTH: Hi, George! G'day! Now, what have I got here?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Hmm, one for you, Frank. - Thanks, George.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- And one for you, Buster. - Oh, thanks, George.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Hi, George! Have you got anything for me?!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Morning, Mitzi. Let's have a little look.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53There's three for you, Mitzi.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Three?! Hey, wow! Thanks, George!
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- Oh, I only got one.- Come on, Buster. We've got work to do.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08You work in a post office. I expect you get lots and lots of letters.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Um... No, not really.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14You don't?! Not often, no.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Bye, Mitzi.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Now, George would NEVER complain about not getting many letters.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24But Mitzi was surprised.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Mitzi decided that SHE was going to write HIM a letter.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Mitzi loved writing letters to her friends.
0:02:32 > 0:02:38But sometimes, she wasn't quite sure what to say.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Dear, George...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I like you, cos you're slow. No, no. That's rude.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Cos you bring the letters! No, he knows that.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52You make me very happy, cos you bring letters from my friends.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Um, so I know what they're doing!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Um, love Mitzi. There, that's it!
0:02:57 > 0:03:02After all that, she decided to start again.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08The next morning, when George was emptying the postbox in town...
0:03:08 > 0:03:09< George!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11George!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Wait!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I've got this for you. For me?!
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Yes. I wrote you a letter. Oh!
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Oh, thank you, Mitzi. You have to put it in the letter box, though.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29But it's for YOU. Yes.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35But you have to put it in the box so I can collect it properly. Oh, OK.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- Huh?! It's for me! - Yes, that's what I just said!
0:03:47 > 0:03:53Oh, that's nice. I'll read it later, when I've finished my deliveries.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- So I can look forward to it. - Oh, OK.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I'll put it right here, where it's safe.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05One thing was certain - getting a letter from Mitzi
0:04:05 > 0:04:09put George in a really good mood for the rest of the day.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Morning, Sammy. Morning, Josie. BOTH: Morning, George.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I got a letter from Mitzi this morning.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20That's nice. Are you gonna open it?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Oh, no. Not yet. I'm saving it for later.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27George told everyone that day
0:04:27 > 0:04:31how happy he was that he'd got a letter from Mitzi.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Thanks, George!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Thanks, George.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Now, a busy postman sometimes finds
0:04:42 > 0:04:46that with all the walking he does his shoelace comes undone.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Oh! Not again!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Uh-oh!
0:04:59 > 0:05:04Meanwhile, the Koala Brothers were going out on their daily patrol.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Stand by! - BOTH: Standing by.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Chocks away, Buster!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Chocks away, Frank!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Get the gate, Ned! - I'm getting the gate, Frank!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Buckle up, Buster.- Buckled up.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50George had been looking forward to reading Mitzi's letter all day.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Oh-oh! Aw!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Oh!
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Frank and Buster were looking for anyone in need of help.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It's George!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- He looks lost!- But he's a postman!
0:06:11 > 0:06:17- Postmen don't get lost! - Looks like he needs help, though!
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- What's up, George? - Mitzi gave me a letter and...
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I've lost it! I don't get many letters!
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- Maybe you dropped it somewhere. - Why not search the way you came?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- That's a good idea! - And we'll fly around
0:06:41 > 0:06:44and see if we spot it from the air!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Right. Yes. Thank you, Frank.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- Do you see anything, Buster? - Yes! Lots!- Of what?
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- Nothing!- Nothing?- Yeah! There's lots and lots of nothing!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- HE LAUGHS - Oh, Buster!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14But something caught Buster's eye.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Look!
0:07:21 > 0:07:26I found a letter on the road! I think George must've dropped it!
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Well done, Alice.- We've been looking for that everywhere!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33George'll be really pleased you found it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Oh, oh!
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Thank you, Frank! Thank you, Buster! Thank you, Alice.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I've been looking forward to reading Mitzi's letter all day!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Bye!
0:07:48 > 0:07:53As George went back to delivering the post, Frank began to think.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- If getting just ONE letter made him so happy...- I've got an idea!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Let's get EVERYONE to write George a letter.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- BOTH: Yes! - And that's just what they did.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Everyone wrote George a letter.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18The next day, George went to the postbox as usual,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21to collect the letters.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Oh! I can't wait!
0:08:25 > 0:08:29George found there was ANOTHER letter for him.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34And another one! And another!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37In fact, they were ALL for George!
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- ALL: Hooray! - They're all for me!
0:08:42 > 0:08:48- LAUGHTER - We know! We all wrote you a letter!
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I wanted to write you a letter, George, to say something,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54but I couldn't think of the words.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59And then, I thought I could say it much better like this!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Oh, thank you. Thank you, everyone.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08And you, Buster. ..I'm so pleased, I don't know what to say.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11You know, if you replied to them,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14you'd probably get lots more letters back!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17And that's exactly what George did.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Unfortunately, it took George so long
0:09:21 > 0:09:25to write replies to each of the letters,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29that the post was delivered even later than usual.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34But nobody minded. It's good to make your friends feel wanted.
