One beautiful morning, Mitzi was in a happy mood

as she set off to do her shopping.

Hi, Ned!

Hi, Mitzi.

Hi, Frank. Hi, Buster.

BOTH: Hi, Mitzi.

-Off to town?

-Yeah. I've got some shopping to do.

Hm, so have we. We're having an afternoon tea party today.

An afternoon tea party?!

Ohh, can I come?

Of course you can, Mitzi.

-If we can be ready in time.

-Yeah, we've got to mend the post-box,

-go on patrol...

-Get to Sammy's to pick up party things,

-and then make all the food.

-I could get the things you need

from Sammy's store.

-We'd need them pretty quick.

-Are you sure, Mitzi?

Buster! It's...

It's a promise.

-Well, then.

-A promise is a pretty important thing to make.

I know, Frank. I PROMISE I'll get your shopping in time.

Well, OK then. Thanks. Here's our list.

No problem.

You're a star, Mitzi.

-SHE GIGGLES

-Really?

See you soon!

Mitzi found that making a promise was easy to do

and seemed to make everyone happy too.

FRANK SIGHS

-Hi, Alice.

-Oh, hello, Mitzi.

-What's up?

It's my tyre. It's flat.

Here. Let me help.

Thanks, Mitzi. I'm already late for lifeguard duties at the waterhole

and I said I'd make a cake

for the afternoon tea party at Frank and Buster's.

I've got SO much to do.

-Alice, I've just had a brilliant idea.

-You have?

Yeah. Why don't I make the cake for the afternoon tea party?

You? But...

will you have time to bake a cake before this afternoon?

Time to bake AND to decorate an extra-special cake,

and that's a promise.

That's that, then.

What do you mean, Alice?

Well, since you've promised, I know I can rely on you to make the cake.

Thank you, Mitzi.

Um...

The waterhole.

Oh, yes. Thank you, Mitzi. You're SO helpful.

Mitzi was starting to enjoy making promises.

Now she'd made two.

-Hi, George!

-Oh! You look like you're in a hurry, Mitzi.

Yep, I'm off to Sammy's shop.

-Oh, I've got a message for Sammy.

-I'll tell him for you, George.

Well, that's a very kind offer, and I do have all this to deliver, but...

-I'll do it, George.

-Oh, I don't know. It's a very important message.

-I'll get the message to him. It's a promise.

-Well, if it's a promise,

that's a different matter.

So George gave Mitzi his important message.

Now Mitzi had made ANOTHER promise.

By the time Mitzi got to Sammy's shop,

George's message was the last thing on her mind.

-Hello, Sammy!

-Oh, hello, Mitzi.

Sammy, I need everything on this list right away.

It's for the Koala Brothers' afternoon tea party today.

All righty. I won't be long. I've just got to fix up this display.

But I promised to get back quickly

and I also promised Alice that I'd bake a cake.

How about I finish stacking while you get the groceries?

That's very kind. Do you have time?

I'll get it done in no time at all,

and I won't leave before I do. That's a promise.

Well, in that case, I'd better get started.

Right. Let's see. One large water melon.

Ohh! Silly things!

Water melon.

Now, milk, cookies and cream.

-CANS CLATTER

-Oh, no!

-Oh, dear.

I can't keep stacking cans, Sammy.

I've got to get to Frank and Buster's with their things.

You can't just leave it, Mitzi. You made me a promise.

Mitzi was starting to realise that a promise is very easy to make

but a lot harder to keep.

Here. Let me give you a hand.

MITZI SIGHS

Phew! Thank you, Sammy.

Now, my shopping basket, please!

There you go. Is that all, Mitzi?

Oh, and I need the ingredients for the cake I promised Alice.

Quick! I'm running out of time!

Now, what sort of cake were you planning to make, Mitzi?

A quick one?

That should do it. Can you get the cups and saucers, Ned?

Getting the cups and saucers, Frank.

-Where's Mitzi?

-It's time to start getting the food ready for tea.

Mitzi managed to keep her promise to the Koala Brothers, but only just.

-MITZI GASPS

-Here I am!

-Hi!

-Hi, Mitzi!

Oh, thanks, Mitzi. Just in time.

There's lots to do. Luckily Alice is bringing the cake.

The cake! Oh no!

Sorry, Mitzi. Was it something I said?

No, Buster, it's just that...

I've promised too much.

I promised Sammy I'd stack his cans,

and I promised Alice I'd make a cake to bring to your tea party,

but it's too late now.

MITZI SOBS

Don't worry, Mitzi.

Erm, Frank will think of something.

Maybe there is something we can do.

Really?!

Yeah, you get started on the tea things.

And look after the guests.

We'll sort out the cake. Be right back.

Thanks, Frank. Thanks, Buster.

That's OK, Mitzi.

BOTH: We're here to help!

Chocks away, Buster.

Chocks away, Frank.

-Get the gate, Ned.

-I'm getting the gate, Frank.

Buckle up, Buster.

Buckled up!

It was soon the afternoon.

Mitzi had worked hard to prepare the tea party.

Any sign of Frank and Buster yet, Ned?

Not yet, Mitzi.

Oh! But here comes Alice!

BOTH: Hello, Alice!

Hello! Hi, Mitzi! How did you go with the cake?

Alice, I'm sorry but...

Hello, all. I'm not late, am I?

ALL: Hello, George.

Oh no!

What's wrong, Mitzi?

I promised to give you a message from George, but I forgot.

Oh dear! Was it important, George?

Yeah, pretty important.

My slippers have a hole in 'em, the size of a tennis ball.

I needed to order a new pair, Sammy.

I'm so sorry, George.

And Alice? About your cake...

HELICOPTER WHIRRS

Ah! They're back!

Look - there's Lolly!

Hello, everyone!

Ha ha! Here you go!

What you got under there, boys?

Yeah! What could it be?

Ta-da!

ALL GASP

Mitzi's extra-special ice-cream cake!

ALL: Oh!

Thank you, Mitzi. It's so special!

Oh! You should really thank Frank and Buster, and Lolly.

They helped me keep my promise.

So things had turned out all right this time,

thanks to the Koala Brothers.

But Mitzi learned that making a promise was a very important thing.

Thanks, everyone.

No worries! That's all right, Mitzi.

And from now on, I'll only make a promise if I know I can keep it.

And that's a promise!

ALL: Yeah!

So, who's for cake?

ALL: Yes, please!
