Penny Comes for Help The Koala Brothers

# If you're in trouble and need someone to help you out

# There's no need to whistle and no need to shout

# Hey, hey, hey, hey Help is on its way

# Call the Koala Brothers Call the Koala Brothers

# Call the Koala Brothers Help is on its way! #

One morning, as the sun warmed up the Outback,

Penny the little penguin was waiting at the airfield.

Penny had come to ask the Koala Brothers for help!

But where were they?

Meanwhile at the Koala Brothers' homestead,

George the Postman was making his first delivery of the day.

Let's have a little look see!

-Morning!

-Oh...Mornin' Frank, Buster.

-Any letters?

-Just the one today, Buster! Ooh, thanks.

Hey Frank...

It's a postcard from Penny!

She says she needs our help!

She'll be here first thing on Tuesday morning!

IT IS TUESDAY MORNING!!!

You get Ned, I'll get the plane!

It's an emergency, Ned. Penny's waiting!

-You need to get the gate!

-OK, Buster!

Chocks away, Buster!!

Chocks away, Frank!

-Get the gate, Ned!

-I'm getting the gate, Frank!

-D'you think Penny's all right, Buster?

-I hope so, Ned.

Hi, Penny.

Good to see ya. Nice hug.

It wasn't long before Penny was safely at the Homestead.

Frank and Buster knew Penny's problem must be serious.

After all, it was a long way to come from the South Pole, for help.

It's nice to see you Penny. We got your postcard.

That's right. You said you needed help! What's the problem?

You want to knit something?

Ah, you want to knit Lolly a sweater.

Good idea, it gets chilly in the mornings.

Yeah, brrrrrrr. Everyone needs a good sweater in the outback.

But why do you need our help, Penny?

Oh, you can't knit!

Do you want us to help you knit Lolly's sweater?

Don't worry, Penny. Frank'll have you knitting in no time, won't you?

I will? Er, oh.

Yes, of course. We're here to help! Hmm.

It was the first time Frank had ever seen a knitting pattern.

It looked like tying lots of knots together.

-What are you doing?

-We're teaching Penny to knit!

-Can I help?

-Sure, Ned. Here, hold out your hands!

Right. First wrap the wool around the needles.

-Wool wrapped, Frank!

-Next, put the needle through the loop!

It's through the loop, Frank!

Now cross the needles and repeat! That is...do it all over again!

Penny's doing it all over again!

OK. You keep on going and I'll make us a nice cup of tea!

Aagh!

Buster! What happened?!

Um...we got a bit carried away.

As soon as they were all untangled, they tried again.

This time they took it slowly.

Are we finished yet? My arms are aching.

Hey, Frank... Penny's done it!

-Wow!

-Well, done you!

It looks perfect.

Cooeee! Only me. What's that?

It's Penny's knitting! We're helping her knit Lolly a sweater.

Oh! You're going to need more wool than that!

PENNY SQUEAKS

I think Mitzi's right, Buster. We do need more wool.

No!

Hey, Mitzi. Stop!

When you need something in the Outback, the first place to look is always Sammy's Store!

Here we go.

Sorry, Penny. It looks like I'm clean out of wool!

Ah, too bad. Thanks anyway Sammy.

Sorry, Penny, but that isn't wool.

It's garden string! Strong stuff. I think she wants it, Frank!

OK, Penny.

Though Frank and Buster didn't say anything,

they knew that without wool, there'd be no jumper for Lolly.

They had to find some somewhere.

So they decided to visit everyone in the town.

Someone must have some wool.

Hi George!

-I see you found Penny.

-Yeah, she's knitting Lolly a sweater.

But she needs wool.

-Can you help?

-Right, let's have a little look see...

Wondered where that had got too!

No, sorry. I haven't got any wool.

I've got some cotton in here somewhere. There you go, Penny!

Though no-one had any wool,

they all made sure that Penny didn't leave without a little something.

I've got a nice piece of ribbon if you'd like.

PENNY SQUEAKS APPROVINGLY

They searched all day, but still didn't found any wool!

I don't know about you but I need an ice cream!

Good idea, Frank, How about you, Penny? Penny?

I don't think she wants Lolly to know about the sweater.

-It must be a surprise!

-Oh, right.

G'day.

How can I coooool you down?

Three raspberry swirls please!

Here you go. Who's the spare one for?

-Er, it's for Penny.

-Where is she?

-Um...

-Behind that tree...

-HI PENNY!

-Hi Penny.

-Did you get any wool?

-We tried to find some. But all we could find was this.

-And this.

You can have it if you'd like.

-I feel bad, Frank...

-Me too, Buster.

She'll be so disappointed if she can't knit Lolly's sweater.

Hi Penny, we don't know where else to get the wool...

Sorry, we really want to help.

Penny? What are you doing?

She's knitting, Buster!

So that's why you were collecting all that stuff!

Come on, Buster. We've got work to do.

BOTH: WE'RE HERE TO HELP!

With the Koala Brothers help, Penny knitted into the night.

and by the next morning, they had knitted everything together.

But still there wasn't enough to make Lolly's jumper.

You did your best, Penny.

-It looks really nice...

-It's perfect!

But it's not a sweater, Frank.

No, it's better than a sweater.

It's just what Lolly needs!

-A SCARF!!

-Yeah!

Brrrrr! Thanks Josie!

No problem.

-Morning, Lolly.

-Morning all.

How can I cool you down?

Actually, we're here to warm you up!

For me? Awww!

Thank you, Penny, it's... It's beautiful!

It's really warm too!

Oh, Penny. It's just right!!!

Lolly loved her new scarf. She looked so smart.

What she liked most of all, was that Penny had made it herself,

with a little help from the Koala Brothers.

Well, I think this calls for a celebration!

Thanks to Penny and all her friends, Lolly would always be warm when the sun was low.

Penny learnt that sometimes it takes a little bit of help, from a lot of friends to get things done.
