0:00:34 > 0:00:38Every morning, when George the postman took his tea break,

0:00:38 > 0:00:43he loved to chat to a little plant that grew by the roadside.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47I love a good rest and a nice cup of tea.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49You know, being on your feet all morning

0:00:49 > 0:00:53makes you really appreciate a good wiggle.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Ooh! Ooh, that's better!

0:00:58 > 0:01:03Do you like a good wiggle, too? Perhaps you wiggle your leaves!

0:01:03 > 0:01:07It was then that George saw something wasn't quite right.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Huh?! Oh, what's up?

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Aren't you feeling well?

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I've gotta get you some help.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24George really loved his little plant, and he knew there was

0:01:24 > 0:01:29- only one place to go for help. - Don't move - I'll be right back!

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Meanwhile, at the homestead,

0:01:34 > 0:01:38the Koala Brothers were carrying out some repairs.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Morning, George.- Oh... I've come for help!

0:01:42 > 0:01:46It's me little plant! It doesn't look very well!

0:01:46 > 0:01:51- Sorry, George. We, um...don't know much about plants.- Oh.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55- You could ask Mitzi. She loves plants.- Good idea, Ned.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Hey, Mitzi!

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Ooh... Morning, George. Everything all right?

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Well, actually, no.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08- His little plant isn't very well. - We thought you could help.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Sure. Let's have a look at it.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14It's, er...it's in the outback. Near the road.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18Oh, it's an outback plants. Sometimes, they don't last long.

0:02:18 > 0:02:23- Too hot and dry out in the open. - You mean it...could...die?!

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Yeah. Sorry.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29My little plant! It's going to die!

0:02:29 > 0:02:31There must be something he can do.

0:02:31 > 0:02:36If he can give it some shade and lots of water, that may help.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39- You think so? - Here. You can borrow this.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Thanks, Mitzi. Thank you, everyone!

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Don't worry, little plant. George is coming!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Do you think we're gonna get any post today?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52George took Mitzi's advice.

0:02:52 > 0:02:57He'd do anything to make sure his little plant was well again.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00There you go. You'll soon be right as rain.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Oh, dear!

0:03:04 > 0:03:08Mitzi's right. The sun is too hot.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10I wonder.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15There you go. That should keep the sun out.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Morning, George!- Morning...

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Alice.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Ah, there. As good as new!

0:03:26 > 0:03:30- VOICE STUTTERS: Good as new! - You know, Frank?

0:03:30 > 0:03:35- I can't stop thinking about George and his poor plant.- Me too, Buster.

0:03:35 > 0:03:40- I know! It's about time for patrol! We can check up on him!- Good idea!

0:03:43 > 0:03:44Chocks away, Buster!

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Chocks away, Frank!

0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Get the gate, Ned! - I'm getting the gate, Frank!

0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Buckle up, Buster! - Buckled up!

0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Where are they going? - To see if George is OK.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24It's just a little plant!

0:04:24 > 0:04:28But to George, that little plant was very special.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31- How's it looking, Frank? - Er...not good.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35I've tried watering it and sheltering it from the sun.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37I just don't know what else to do!

0:04:37 > 0:04:40It's just too hot for the poor little fella.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43If only there was a cooling breeze.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46George! I've got an idea!

0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Ready, Buster?- Ready, Frank!

0:05:00 > 0:05:02It's just right!

0:05:02 > 0:05:05It's too light? OK!

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Stop! Stop! Stop!

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Oh, are you all right? Yes! Yes, you are.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Phew! Bit too much breeze, I think, Frank.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Er...sorry, George. How's your plant?

0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Still the same.- Here, Frank. This one's for us.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34Oh, the post! With all this worry, I clean forgot to deliver it!

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Oh!- Don't worry, George. We understand.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42- You want to help your little plant. - We can deliver your post for you.

0:05:42 > 0:05:47- You can?- Sure! And we could look for something to keep your plant cool!

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh, thank you.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54So Frank and Buster made sure everyone got their letters.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58Er...let's have a little look, see.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00There you go. All part of the service.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Oh, thanks, Buster. Where's George, then?

0:06:04 > 0:06:08- He's looking after his plant. It's not very well.- Oh.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Anything I can do to help? - This could come in handy, Sammy!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Then it's yours, Frank.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Oh, poor George! Aha! TOY DUCK SQUEAKS

0:06:18 > 0:06:23- Have you tried...watering it? - He's tried everything.- Oh!

0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Have you got something that might help out, Archie?- Er...

0:06:27 > 0:06:31Um...why don't you come in and have a look around?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Thanks, Archie.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35Oops!

0:06:37 > 0:06:40George was glad to see the Koala Brothers.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44- His little plant was looking worse than ever!- One breeze!

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- These are from Archie.- Oh. AIR PUMPS

0:06:47 > 0:06:53- And this is from Josie. - Oh...yeah, that's nice.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Hi, Ned.- Hello, George. I thought this might help.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Why, thanks, Ned.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Thank you, everyone. You've all been so kind.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07- George, we're here to help. - Can I stay and help?

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Oh, thanks, Ned.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13So with Ned making the cooling breeze,

0:07:13 > 0:07:16George nursed his little plant.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21But as the day grew long, Ned and George grew tired.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25They'd been watering and blowing and fanning all afternoon.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29George's little plant didn't look any better.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32I think you've done all you can, Ned.

0:07:32 > 0:07:37- Why don't you go home? - Oh, what about your plant?

0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's no good. Mitzi was right.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Sometimes, they just don't last long.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46- Are you coming, too? - No. I'll just stay here.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Keep it company. - Well, bye, George.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Bye. And thanks, Ned.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57George can't stay out all night. He'll get cold.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01We've tried everything, Buster! What else can we do?

0:08:01 > 0:08:05NED: George won't move. HEAVY SIGHS

0:08:05 > 0:08:10- Maybe you need to move the plant, then.- Mitzi, you're a genius!

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Come on, Buster! Let's get the plane!

0:08:12 > 0:08:15All you had to do was ask.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Frank will be careful.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Won't he?!- Don't worry. He knows what he's doing.

0:08:21 > 0:08:26Thanks to Mitzi, George's little plant was going to have a new home.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Somewhere safe from the hot outback sun.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31There we go.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36- Is it OK, Frank?- Yeah. It's gonna be fine, George.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Thank you, everyone. THEY LAUGH

0:08:42 > 0:08:46By the next morning, George was back to his cheery best.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Let's have a little look, see. - BOTH: Morning, George!

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Morning, Frank, Buster.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56- So how's me little plant doing today?- George!

0:08:56 > 0:08:59George! Come and see! You'll never guess! Come on!

0:09:01 > 0:09:05It's got a little flower! Me plant's got a little flower!

0:09:05 > 0:09:09It must be really happy in its new home, George!

0:09:09 > 0:09:11There you go.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15Ooh! Ooh! Did you see that?! It wiggled!

0:09:15 > 0:09:20Thank you, everyone! I don't know what we'd have done without you.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Oh, we're here to help, George.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27That day, everyone realised that even the smallest thing,

0:09:27 > 0:09:30like George's little plant, was important.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34And needed to be looked after and cared for.
