Find Those Flamingos The Numtums

HE TOOTS

# 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, my favourite!

Just in case you didn't know.

# He's dynamite

# Super Numtum! #

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

A-ha, not-so-Super Numtum, I challenge you to a race for power!

First to bounce ten times round this track will become

ruler of the world!

-You will never win, Fluffy McTuffy.

-Oh, really?

This time I think I will. Ready, steady...

Go!

-Hm...

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-Hee-hee!

-That crafty koala has already finished lap one.

-You won't beat this koala.

-Watch out, Fluffy McTuffy, here I come!

Oh, no, you don't, not-so-Super Numtum.

Super-slow sticky gloop. That should slow him down.

Oh, that koala is so naughty!

You bet your whiskers I'm naughty!

Hm...

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Super Numtum, away!

That crafty koala has finished five laps.

She only has five laps left to do. I'd better speed up.

You'll never catch me!

Ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

I won, like I said I would.

Not so fast, Fluffy McTuffy, that's only nine laps.

-To make ten, you need to add one more.

-More of that number nonsense?

Huh. Very well. I'll do another lap.

Mwa-ha-ha!

What?

Oh, no! I'm stuck in my own gloop!

Ha-ha-ha!

And so, you are defeated once more, Fluffy McTuffy.

By the power of the number!

Oh, popsa-doodles!

BOTH: Yeah!

Hey, Humpty Do. I challenge you to a race around the Half Moon Lagoon.

-And the winner will be the ruler of Gumnut Gorge.

-Hey-hey! Let's go!

Ho-ho! Come on!

First one to go ten times around the Half Moon Lagoon is the winner.

Ready, steady, go, go, go!

Beaks and tails and one-two-three, kick!

One-two-three, kick and one-two-three, kick!

Oh, my. That's messed up my chorus line. What a yucky mess!

-Sorry, flamingos.

-You'd better get them cleaned up.

I think you better had, and quickly!

You know, if there's one thing Gladdy can't stand, it's a

-muddy flamingo!

-And we've made all ten of them very muddy.

But how can we clean a flingo?

Do you know a grubby flamingo? A chimp that needs a primp?

A seal that's lost its feel-appeal?

Then bring 'em down to Larry and Billy's Buff'n'Fluff!

The Buff'n'Fluff, where beasts become beautiful.

Whoo, galloping guinea pigs! They've gone! Come back!

-We haven't practised our tap routine yet!

-Ah!

Now we have to find all ten muddy flingos.

And get them to the Buff'n'Fluff for a good scrub.

-And all before Gladdy sees them.

-Whoopsie-do!

We'll never manage on our own!

This calls for teamwork!

ALL: Did somebody say "teamwork"?

Because we're Team Numtum!

-Can you help us find ten muddy flamingos?

-Sure.

It'll be much quicker if we split up.

How many flamingos to we each need to find?

If only we had a way of finding out.

If you want to know how to make ten, have a listen to this.

# Ten So many ways to make it

# Ten So many ways to break it down

# There's all sorts of combinations All kinds of variations

# So let's do a demonstration, see how we can make ten

# Ten Numtums, two trees to stand under

# Wherever we stand, there's always the same number

# Find under the purple, five under the green

# Ten Numtums in two even teams

# But if Champer bounces from green to purple

# There'll be four under the green And six under the purple

# So how many Numtums in total are there then?

# That's right, four and six still makes ten

# Ten So many ways to make it

# Ten So many ways to break it down

# There's all sorts of combinations All kinds of variations

# Spread the word across the nation Express your admiration

# Everybody on your feet, give it a standing ovation!

# There's lots of ways to make ten! #

-So there are lots of ways to make ten.

-What are we waiting for?

Let's find those flingos!

Two flamingos, over there!

-Where?

-But they were just there.

Excuse me, have you seen two flamingos around here?

-Great, thanks!

-Oh, is this yours?

-Wait a minute! They were flamingos!

-Where did they go?

I don't remember seeing those flowers before.

Mm! This one has a strange moustache.

But this is no time for flower-spotting.

After the flamingos!

Let's hide and wait for the flingos here.

Ho-ho! I'm really good at hiding. Watch this!

-Can you see me?

-Yes.

-Aw! How about now?

-Yes.

Oh. How about now?

-Whoa!

-Flingo!

SQUAWK

-Woopsie-do!

-I'm not sure this is working.

-Let's find the others.

-OK.

SQUAWK

Hey-hey! We're ready to buff!

-Sorry, Billy, but we still haven't found any flingos.

-Oh.

Neither have we, which means it's time for a plan!

Here we have a box of Fishy Delishies.

Flamingos love Fishy Delishies

so if we scatter a trail of Fishy Delishies along this path here,

the flamingos might follow them back here. Yeah!

And then we can clean them up, before Gladdy can see how grubby they are.

Great! Come on, let's go.

SQUAWKING

It's working! One, two, three, four, five flamingos!

-Let's get them to the Buff'n'Fluff.

-We need five more to make ten.

-I hope the others have found them.

-Here flingo, flingo, flingo!

Here we go.

-Whoa! Look at all those flamingos.

-Numtum!

-Hm.

Those cheeky flamingos are trying to trick us.

There are five flamingos, but not all of them are real.

This should show us how many are real flamingos.

-One, two, three, four flamingos.

-Numtum!

SQUAWKING

One, two, three, four, five muddy flamingos.

We found four more.

-Hurray!

-Six, seven, eight, nine muddy flingos!

Rock n' roll!

No buffing yet! We need to add one more to make ten.

Er... To make ten of what?

-We need to find all ten muddy flamingos.

-Oh, I see.

-Well, have you asked the flamingos where their friend is?

-Um...

-But they can't speak! They only squawk.

-Oh, Humpty.

SHE SQUAWKS LIKE A FLAMINGO

FLAMINGO SQUAWKS

ALL: Yay!

-That's amazing!

-Oh, Flamingo's easy.

It's speaking in Hamster that's tricky.

-THEY LAUGH-SQUAWK

-We need to be quick!

-Gladdy will be here to feed the flamingos any minute now.

-OK.

Let's give these flamingos the best buffin' ever!

SQUAWKING

ALL: Whoo!

Hurray! Ten shiny, clean flamingos.

Oh, those flamingos look very clean.

You know, if there's one thing I can't stand, it's a mucky flamingo.

THEY ALL LAUGH

That's strange. They're not hungry.

Anybody would think that they'd been fed already.

Maybe so that certain little Numpups

could have cleaned all the mud off them.

ALL LAUGH

Yeah!
