My turn to roll, Numpups. If I can get another perfect score, I win!

Again?

-Yes!

-Wow, Dar Dar, that's your third win in a row.

What's your secret, Dar Dar?

It's all down to my very rare, very lucky, five-petalled flower.

-One, two, three, four, five petals.

-And that's what makes it so lucky.

Another game, anybody?

-Well...

-ALL: Erm...

Nah.

Hang on, everyone. Ah-ah... Sneeze alert!

Oh, watch my flower!

Oh, wait, false alarm. Sneeze unalert.

Ah, panic over.

I'm off for a well-earned break, at Superhero Holiday Camp.

But before I go, I need to put this Top Ten Tips For Being Naughty book

well out of the reach of a certain naughty koala's paws.

It's not fair. I should be able to fly.

And soon I shall, thanks to my new rocket booster trousers.

Once I'm able to fly, I can reach that book,

and then I'll have the top ten tips for being naughty

that will help me take over the world!

And all before bedtime. Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Instructions. Uh, bo-oo-ring.

I know what to do.

Just attach these four jet boosters to the legs.

One, two, four...

Oh, there's one left over. Oh, it must be a spare.

I don't think Fluffy will be flying high without this other booster.

I don't think it's her lucky day!

Time to fly!

Oh-ah-ah... I'm getting dizzy! Whoa, whoa!

Koala in distress here!

It's still a little out of your reach, I'm afraid, Fluffy McTuffy.

-Oh, cosy.

-Your rocket booster trousers needed four boosters.

But without this one, you only had three.

You really should learn your numbers, Fluffy McTuffy!

SHE SNORES

Oh, oh, I'd love some of those rocket booster trousers, too.

I could do with a boost.

Champer, careful, mind my lucky flower!

Oh, sorry, Dar Dar. Don't worry, no harm done.

No harm! My lucky five-petalled flower is ruined!

Oh, not really, there are still four lucky petals left.

Four is only one less than five. It will still be quite lucky.

-Are you sure?

-I've never been more sure of anything.

Ah-ah-ah... I'm going to sneeze!

THEY GASP

Watch my flower!

-Oh, wait, no, I'm not.

-Phew!

Let's get down to the Tasty Termite for some yummy Termite Treats.

Ooh, my, Dar Dar. Why the long face?

-My lucky flower has lost a petal.

-Oh, dear.

Maybe, we could cheer me up...um, oh, I mean Dar Dar,

with some, erm...

Termite Treats?

How did you know?

Ooh, just a lucky guess.

Well, you're in luck - I've just baked some.

-Here you go.

-Thank you, Gladdy.

Poor little lucky flower.

No-oo-oo-oo!

SHE GASPS

-Ah.

-Oh, no. By my calculations...

..treats on the ground equals icky.

Icky snacks, that's so unlucky.

HE GASPS

It must be because your flower only has four petals.

Another petal's fallen off. How many petals has it got now?

ALL: Three!

Three petals is two less than five. That must be even more unlucky.

But it is better than two!

Hey, little Numpups, why the long faces?

-I dropped the treats on the ground.

-Never mind, Dar Dar.

A game of Leap Billy will cheer you up.

It's the best game ever!

You all go and play. I'm going to look for more treats.

-Gladdy! Gladdy, please can we...?

-Ah, just the Numpup I need.

It seems Neville, here, has a puncture.

You don't mind helping me, do you?

Ooh, ooh, it's my turn to leap, Billy.

Stay cool, little Numpup, everyone can have a turn!

Who wants to play Leap Billy anyway?

Uh, you do!

-Of course I can help, Gladdy.

-Marvellous.

Now, you hold your hand over the puncture, while I blow up Neville.

Don't forget to grip tight!

We're gripping tightly, aren't we?

BILLY: Dar Dar, you're missing all the fun! It's the best game ever!

Ooh, inflatable crocodile on the loose!

Oh, dear, Neville.

Oh, look at my poor flower. Only two petals left.

That's three less than the five it should have.

It's getting unluckier and unluckier.

Why don't you try and find Neville, he won't have gone far.

And I'll bake some more Termite Treats.

See, we can sort everything out.

I think Neville went this way.

Whoa! Wobbling wombats! My cart's going backw-aa-rds!

Who-o-oa!

I need to get my cart under control!

-Aah! Ha, look out!

-Sorry, Hobart!

CRASH!

Wobbling wombats, I'm stuck.

Ooh, my lucky flower.

Only one petal left.

That's four less than the five it should have.

Can things get any more unlucky?

Whoo-ooh. Oh!

And the answer is...yes!

-Attention!

-BEEP BEEP

-This Numpup is reversing.

-BEEP BEEP

This is embarrassing, Larry. Please be quiet.

Dear, oh, dear, Dar Dar. What's happened?

I'm nearly completely out of luck.

And now my cart is broken, and I've only got one petal left!

Oh, no!

Hang on, I-I'm going to sneeze!

Careful of my flower!

-Oh, wait, No, I'm not.

-I need to be lucky again.

-Will you help me find another lucky flower?

-We can try!

One, two, three, four.

Only four petals on this one, Dar Dar.

Only four on this one.

One, two, three, four...

There's only four on this one, too.

Well, it's no wonder we didn't find anything. That's just my luck today.

At least my lucky flower still has one petal left.

Ah-ah-ah-Achoo!

I told you I was going to sneeze! Sorry!

I don't think my luck will ever change.

We may as well, just go back to the Tasty Termite.

My dear Dar Dar, so sorry to hear about your lucky flower.

Here, you can borrow my lucky pineapple.

Whoever heard of a lucky pineapple, before?

Don't listen, Chunky.

It can be as lucky as a flower.

Lots of Numtums like to carry around some sort of lucky charm. Look.

I have my lucky sticks. Ah, sticks.

And here's my lucky potato.

He's called Chips.

And I have a lucky wrestling glove, Mittens.

And here's my favourite plant pot, Dug.

You see, all sorts of things can be thought of as lucky.

To their owners, at least.

Well, this definitely isn't lucky anymore.

Try growing some of these, Dar Dar. A bit of time and care,

and you'll soon have lots of five-petalled flowers.

Really? Thank you, Nimbin.

And look, Gladdy filled another jar with Termite Treats.

Now, that's lucky.

And Neville blew home. And I fixed his puncture!

-And I fixed your cart, Dar Dar.

-You have? Thanks!

No need to thank me, just doing my job, ma'am.

You see, you don't need a five-petalled flower to be lucky.

Yes, you're right, I am lucky.

And in my book, that means Termite Treats all round.

ALL: Hooray!
