Don't Forget to Remember The Numtums

CROWS

# Here come the Numtums

# They're furry and they're fun

# Here come the Numtums

# Let's start with number one

# Bendy go!

# Dar Dar!

# Champer!

# Gladdy!

# Little Sandy!

# Flinders!

# Humpty Do!

# Coogee!

# Hobart!

# Nimbin!

# One, two, three, four

# Five, six, seven, eight

# Nine, ten!

# The Numtums! #

# Super Numtum! #

Ha-ha, I've got you now, not-so-super Numtum,

my balloon blaster will carry you away

up in the sky.

Leaving me free to stay up past my bedtime!

And take over the world!

Woh-ha-ha!

That is very naughty, Fluffy McTuffy. Especially when today

is Do A Good Deed Day.

Well, I'm doing naughty deeds instead.

Now, the balloon blaster uses the power of five balloons

so I just need one more...

And you'll be gone for ever, ha-ha!

-Ah, why are you still here?

-Because I've got your number

and it's five. You said the balloon blaster uses five balloons

but you've only got, one, two, three, four.

Oh, popsa-doodles, where am I going to get another balloon?!

Well, seeing as it's Do A Good Deed Day I'll get one for you

but you'll have to untie me first.

Oh, all right. But come straight back so I can send you

way up into the sky.

-Here, for Do A Good Deed Day...

-Thank you.

Now the balloon blaster has the five balloons it needs and eh, oh,

ah, oh...!

Popsa-doodles!

Ha-ha-ha, my real good deed for the day was defeating Fluffy McTuffy

and if you want to be a Super Numtum like me

make sure you do a good deed today too.

Oh, Do A Good Deed Day!

How could we forget?

-Let's go and do some!

-Some teeny, tiny insects might need

a good deed, I'll get my magnifying glass.

Hm, maybe the snails need help carrying leaves?

Where is everyone?

Hey, Dar Dar!

Wo-ah!

-Where's Little Sandy gone?

-Er, she was just here...

Eh-hm!

There you are, why are you in the sand?

-We've got to do a good deed.

-I know, I was trying to find one.

We've got to hurry - just one question...

-What's that?

-What's a good deed?

It means helping someone, like maybe the scaredy caterpillar needs

a new leaf... Or...

SHE GASPS

..what about those rare butterflies?

They could be lost or maybe need help flapping their wings?

Er, Sandy, those aren't butterflies.

HE SNORES

-Flinders?

-What?

Why do you have ribbons that look like butterflies tied to your tail?

Ah, well, I'm glad you ask me that...

HE SNORES

It's an old treasure hunter's trick, you see.

I've tied one, two, three, four, five ribbons to my tail

so that means I have to remember five things I need to do.

What are they?

-Oh, I can't remember.

-Was it five bounces?

-I hope not.

Were you supposed to eat these five Termite Treats?

-I wouldn't have thought so.

-Phew! Wo-ho!

HE SNORES

I've just remembered. I tied a matching ribbon to each

-of the five things I need to do.

-Five ribbons, five things to do

and five of us. If we help Flinders that's one good deed each

for Do A Good Deed Day.

-We could all be like Super Numtum!

-Yes, that's a great idea

and while you're looking... I'll see if I can remember

the five things in my sleep, that's another treasure hunter's trick.

Don't worry, Flinders, we'll help you.

HE SNORES

Look, we can find Flinders' ribbons for him by following his tracks.

Stop! A red ribbon. And one, two, three, four, five

boxes of Termite Treats!

Yeah, we can help him eat them!

That's the kind of good deed I like!

What are you Numpups doing?

We're helping Flinders eat these Termite Treats.

Eat them? Oh, no! Not until treat time.

Flinders was going to carry the boxes inside for me.

Then that's what we'll do, come on, let's start doing good deeds.

-One...

-two...

-three...

-four...

-five!

Oh, carrying Termite Treats isn't as much fun as eating them.

Yes, it is, we're doing good deeds, just like Super Numtum.

We have one red ribbon for one good deed we've done.

Look, there's a yellow ribbon on the washing line!

Mm, this washtub is full of Flinders' neckerchiefs.

Flinders must need help to hang them up to dry.

Hm, one, two, three, four, five.

Let me see... One, two,

three, four, five...

Champer! How did you manage that?

He-he, I bounced, of course.

Come down, we need to find the next ribbon.

-Here, I'll help you...

-Wheee!

ALL: Champer!

Ta-da! Well, I found the next ribbon, a green one.

-Well done, Champer.

-Hmm, these are rare Termite Trap plants.

There's one, two, three,

four, five holes. And one, two,

three, four, five plants.

Hey, I'm not a termite. I can't get it off!

Ah-ha! Flinders must have wanted to plant them.

We've found three of the things Flinders had to do.

Two more and we will have done five good deeds

for Do A Good Deed Day!

But where's the next ribbon?

ALL: Wow!

One, two, three, four, five

flamingos.

-Flamingo bath time!

-That must be what Flinders was going to do next.

Not too much.

Oh!

Let's go and tell Flinders everything we've done.

One, two, three, four... Hey, wait, we haven't finished!

HE SNORES

ALL: Flinders!

Hup!

-We found all your ribbons.

-Well, snap my dragons!

I told you taking a nap would do the trick.

Wherever did you Numpups find them?

There was a red one by the boxes of Termite Treats.

A yellow one by your neckerchiefs.

A green one by the Termite Trap plants.

-And a blue one with the flamingos.

-But that only makes...

one, two, three, four...

-What about five? The purple one?

-That's what I was trying to tell you.

-We need one more to make five.

-And finish our good deeds.

Can you remember where you tied the last ribbon, Flinders?

Ah, no, sorry, pups. It's gone. All I remember

is getting the ribbons from Coogee.

ALL SIGH

Huh, wait... That's it! I was looking after Coogee

and I tied a purple ribbon around her to remind me to

do something for her. But what was it?

-And where is she?

-I know I left her somewhere safe

but it looks like I forgot to tie a ribbon around wherever

-that safe place was.

-It's OK, we'll find her.

There's five of us so we can look in five different places.

Hup! Coogee!

Here, Coogee!

Coogee!

Coogee, Coogee!

Coogee?!

-Well, did you find her?

-Mmm...

I hope she's all right.

IN DISTANCE: Numtum tum.

ALL: Coogee!

-Oh, ho-ho, you found her.

-You left her in a safe place,

just like you said, here with Nimbin and Hobart.

She was with us the whole time.

You tied this purple ribbon in her hair to remind you to read

her a bedtime story.

We'll do that to finish our good deeds for

Do A Good Deed Day.

In my book, good deeds mean Termite Treats all round!

ALL: Yeah!

Huh, don't tell us you're trying to remember more things.

No, no! I've just decided that I like wearing ribbons...

Ho-ho-ho-ho!

Yeah...
