Lolly's Long Goodbye The Koala Brothers

# If you're in trouble Need someone to help you out

# There's no need to whistle There's 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 Call the Koala Brothers

# Help is on its way! #

There you go, Alice. There's a strawberry one for you...

Lolly, the emu, loved serving ice cream to her friends in the outback.

When she was with them, she felt like part of the gang.

There you go, Mitzi, that should cool you down.

Mmm! Thanks, Lolly!

-This is the best, Lolly!

-Mmm! What WOULD we do without you?

-Nothing but the best for my friends.

-Hey, Lolly - smile!

Just a quick picture before you leave.

-Bye, Lolly, see you soon!

-Bye, Lolly!

Goodbye, all!

But Lolly always had to leave her friends behind.

She really didn't like saying goodbye.

Oh...!

Early next morning Mitzi couldn't wait to show Frank and Buster

her new photograph of Lolly.

Coo-ee! Frank! Buster!

Morning, Mitzi. What's the emergency?

-New photograph.

-It's really nice, Mitzi.

Hey, Frank, Buster - look at this!

Morning, Mitzi, Ned.

..It's a bit early!

I wanted to show you my new photograph straight away.

I took it yesterday, before Lolly left for the day.

D'you think Lolly looks a bit sad?

I've never seen her like that before. She's always so happy.

-You're right, Buster.

-We'd better look out for her, see if she's OK.

As Frank and Buster prepared for their daily patrol,

they decided to see if Lolly was all right.

-Stand by.

-Standing by.

Chocks away, Buster!

Chocks away, Frank!

-Get the gate, Ned.

-I'm getting the gate, Frank.

-Buckle up, Buster.

-Buckled up.

-Could you get me a triple choc-chip ice cream while you're there?

-Me too!

Lolly was easy to find. She arrived at the same time, same place,

every day to sell her delicious ice cream.

Hi, Frank, Buster. How can I cool you down?

-I'll have a raspberry swirl, please, Lolly.

-Make that two!

Here you go. Enjoy!

-BOTH:

-Thanks, Lolly.

Um...Lolly...

-we were wondering, um...

-if everything was all right.

Sure! I'm with friends, serving ice cream - what could be better?

Oh, that's all right, then.

Well, goodbye, Lolly. Maybe see you tomorrow.

Goodbye, Lolly.

When Lolly heard the word "goodbye", she felt sad again.

Hey, Frank, we forgot Ned and Mitzi's ice creams.

Oh...!

Uh... Lolly, are you SURE you're OK?

-Oh...!

-What's up?

Well, you see, it's just when I have to say goodbye,

I feel, well, sad.

I wish there was something we could do to cheer Lolly up.

Yeah, but what?

Presents always cheer you up.

That's true. What sort of presents?

-Any ideas, Ned?

-Hmm...

-Ice cream?

-Perhaps something a bit more surprising?

I know! We could invite her to supper.

D'you know, that's a really nice idea!

We could send her a proper invitation, make it special.

Smile!

Oh, that'll be a beauty!

That afternoon, Lolly was trying not to think about leaving.

-Ah!

-Ooh!

-How are you, Lolly?

Hi, George. How can I cool you down?

Actually, I've got a letter for you.

-For ME?!

-Let's have a little look-see, shall we?

A-ha! There you go, Lolly.

Thanks. I wonder who it's from.

Right, then - ice cream!

It's from the Koala Brothers. They've invited me to supper - today!

Aw! That's nice.

Bye, George! I don't want to be late.

Bye, Lolly!

Lolly, I was thinking I'd have an ice...

Oh, well, maybe later, eh? Bye.

So that evening, Lolly had supper with Frank and Buster.

She really felt like part of the gang.

This is wonderful! Do you do this every night?

-Only on special occasions, Lolly.

-Ooh!

Ah, well, that was great. What's for dessert, Buster?

Dessert! I... Sorry, Frank - I forgot.

Oh...!

-Oh, well, it's a good thing I brought this little lot with me!

-What is it?

Something to cool you down!

Coo-ee! Oh, look, Ned - ice cream!

There's plenty to go around!

Here you are! Mmm, thanks, Lolly!

MITZI: Mmm! Triple choc chip!

Why have you brought your photograph album, Mitzi?

I thought Lolly would like a look at it.

Wow, Mitzi, these are really good!

I love taking photographs of my friends.

It's like they're with me all the time.

Ooh!

Thank you for supper. It really cheered me up.

-BOTH:

-We're here to help!

Well, I'll see you tomorrow, then.

-ALL:

-Bye, Lolly.

Yes, it's time to go. Ha-ha-ha!

-ALL:

-Bye!

Bye! ..Ha!

Well, I'm off.

Uh, see you tomorrow, then.

This is a really long goodbye. My hand's aching.

-ALL:

-Bye, Lolly.

Lolly had a really good time with her friends.

She was really going to miss them.

Lolly looked very sad again, Frank. She really hates saying goodbye.

Oh, yeah, I know.

..Oh! Mitzi forgot to take her photo album.

-I wish there was something we could do to help her.

-Buster!

I've got an idea!

The next morning, Frank and Buster borrowed Mitzi's camera.

They had lots of pictures to take.

OK, Sammy, give me a big smile and a wave.

OK, Buster, let's get these photos developed.

Later that afternoon, Lolly was getting ready to leave.

She hadn't seen ANY of her friends all day.

I wonder where everyone's got to!

Lolly, wait! I've got a parcel for you.

For ME?! Oh, thanks, George.

First a letter, now a parcel!

It's photos - of all my friends!

I'M on the next page.

-ALL:

-Hello, Lolly!

-THEY CHEER

Now we'll always be with you, Lolly.

Oh, thank you!

Thank you, everyone!

-BOTH:

-We're here to help!

-Right, well, as you're all here,

who needs cooling down?

Now, when Lolly has to say goodbye to her friends for a while,

she knows she'll always be able to see their faces in her photo album.

And she realised you didn't have to be with your friends ALL the time

to be part of the gang.
