0:00:35 > 0:00:40One morning, George was up early, getting ready to deliver the post.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- G'day, George, anything for me? - Oh, hello, Sammy.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Let me have a little look see.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51- Looking forward to your birthday party tomorrow, George?- Yes.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53It's nice of the Koala Brothers
0:00:53 > 0:00:57to let me have a party at their homestead.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00No, no letters for you today, Sammy.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Oh, well. I'd better get going. See ya.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Ooh, these are for you, Sam...my.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Sammy was already off on his deliveries.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15George would have to deliver the parcels to Sammy's door himself.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17BELL RINGS
0:01:20 > 0:01:25- HI, JOSIE.- Hi, Frank. Hi, Buster. - Fill her up, please, Josie.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Oh! Ah!
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Hey, Frank, George looks like he could use an extra pair of hands.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'd say two pairs, Buster.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- Hi, George.- It's us. - The Koala Brothers.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41BOTH: We're here to help.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Phew, thanks.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Oh, great! I've been waiting for these.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55G'day, Frank, Buster.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Hi, Sammy.- There you go.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06- These parcels are heavier than they look.- Oh, I know.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Parcels are always very difficult to deliver.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12They really slow me down.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16What you need, George, is a van like mine.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19No, that wouldn't suit me.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22A van would be too quick and noisy.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26I like to walk. Take my time. Look at the scenery.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I don't want to be hurrying everywhere.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Oh, well, must be off. Things to do.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Bye.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41And I've got post to deliver.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- See you at the party tomorrow. - Don't be late.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47A postman is never late.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52We should get George a present that helps him deliver heavy parcels.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Good idea, Frank.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59It can't be anything quick or noisy, though.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Um...
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Look!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I've got it! Come on.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15George's present arrived the next day.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Oh!
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Happy birthday, George. See you later.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And Josie hurried inside to call the Koala Brothers.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Thanks, Josie.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31All for me. This is going to be an easy delivery.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34What? Oh,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36who's this for?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38The Koala Brothers.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Oh, dear, that's a long way to take a very big parcel.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I'd better start my round early this morning.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51HE STRAINS
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Agh! Oh!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Now I'm getting somewhere.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Not very somewhere, though.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09STRAINING
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Oh, dear, I'm never going to get Frank and Buster's at this rate.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24At the Koala Brothers' homestead, preparations were well under way.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- What have you got him, Buster? - It's a surprise, Ned.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Oh, great, I love surprises. What is it?
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Come on, Buster, Josie phoned. George's present has arrived.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Let's go get it. - Tell you later, Mitzi.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50- Gone?- Yes, he must've thought it needed delivering.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54We'll find him. He can't have gone too far. Come on, Buster.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Oh, that's better.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03ENGINE ROARS OVERHEAD
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- I still don't see him.- He must've gone further than I thought.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16We're bound to spot him between here and home.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23George was getting really tired of pushing the very big parcel.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27He was worried it was going to make him late for his party.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh! Oh, dear!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I just can't go any faster.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- What do you think of this? - It looks great...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40on me.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43What about this one?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It suits Sammy better.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52G'day, Mitzi, Ned.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- HI, SAMMY.- I've got George's cake.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- It's a beauty. - Where are the candles?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02You can't have a birthday cake without candles.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Oh!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I was in such a hurry, I forgot!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Don't worry, I'll nip back and get them.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14That's a very big parcel.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Funny place to leave it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Sam...my!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Oh!
0:06:24 > 0:06:29- Alice, did you see George on the way here?- George? No.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- We saw Sammy in a hurry.- Sammy must see George on the way back.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36We should go and look for him again.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40No, I'm sure Ned's right - Sammy'll see him and give him a ride.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Hey, Sam...my.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57Oh, I am never going to get to the Koala Brothers' on time.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01This is my worst birthday ever.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Got the candles.- Where's George?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- What you mean?- Didn't you see him?
0:07:16 > 0:07:21No. The only thing I saw was a big parcel at the side of the road.
0:07:21 > 0:07:27- Funny place to leave...- George! - We'll find him. Come on, Buster.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35- Chocks away, Buster. - Chocks away, Frank.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Get the gate, Ned. - I'm getting the gate, Frank.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Buckle up, Buster.- Buckled up.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- Look, there's the parcel.- And there's George. We've found him!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Frank, Buster.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22This parcel's for you.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It's very big and heavy.
0:08:25 > 0:08:31- Actually, George...- It's our birthday present for you.- What?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Happy birthday, George.- Oh, ho-ho!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Oh!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38It's nice and quiet.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Not too fast.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46Oh, thank you, both. It's perfect. Just what I need.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Well, we can't stand round chatting all day - we've a party to go to!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Come on.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- ALL: Yeah! - George's party was a great success.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Everyone gave George a present. - ALL: Hooray!
0:09:01 > 0:09:06I'd like to thank everyone for all my lovely presents.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10This is my best birthday ever.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13ALL: Hooray!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Fancy a ride back into town in my van, George?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18That's very kind of you, Sammy,
0:09:18 > 0:09:23but I'm in no hurry and I think I'll try out my new trolley.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25CHEERS >
0:09:25 > 0:09:31- Goodbye!- Goodbye, George! Happy birthday! Bye!
0:09:31 > 0:09:33HE HUMS HAPPILY
