# My friends live here with room for more

# I'm Hector

# Tilly

-# Tumpty

-And Pru

# There's Tiptoe and Doodle Say, how do you do?

# To Tilly and her friends

# La-la-la. #

..and Little Red Riding Hood

and her grandmother lived happily ever after.

-More! More!

-Please, Tilly.

-Read it again, Tilly!

-I'm not reading it again.

-ALL: Ohh!

Not fair!

Because we're going to act it out instead.

-Act it out?

-Yes. We'll put on a play

like at the theatre.

Yippee!

I love actoring!

And I was hatched to be on the stage, everyone says so.

Hector, is something wrong?

Acting in a play sounds difficult.

I don't think I'll be able to do it.

Oh, Hector, acting is just like pretending. It's lots of fun.

Fi, fie, foh, fum!

See! Tumpty's acting like a giant.

Oorh-oorh-oorh! Arh-arh-arh!

Doodle's acting like a chimpanzee.

Tiptoe's acting like a ballet dancer.

And I'm acting like a princess.

As usual! Ha-ha-ha!

Oh, yes! That does sound like fun.

Pretending is one of my favourite things ever.

Hmm.

ALL: Hmmm.

Ah-ha!

ALL: Ah-ha!

I think this room will make a wonderful theatre.

-Definitely.

-Yes.

Although we're going to need a stage.

Oh, oh, it should be big, huge, enormous!

With coloured lights and swishy curtains.

And do you know how to build a big, huge, enormous stage

with coloured lights and swishy curtains?

Well, erm, ah...

Hmm.

Never mind, Pru. Tiptoe's had a great idea. Watch, everyone.

Oh, Tiptoe, what a beautiful stage!

It's even better than the real thing.

Now all we need are some costumes.

OK, who wants to be Little Red Riding Hood?

I do!

I do!

I said it first.

I said it louder.

But you're a boy!

But I can act like a girl.

SHE CLUCKS But what about MEEEEEEEE!

SHE COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS

Tumpty, why don't you be the woodcutter?

Then you can wear this lovely cap.

Oh, yes, please.

I'd much rather be a woodcutter than a hat.

Oh! Thank goodness!

Oh, Tilly, can I be the bitey wolf?

Grrr! Grrr! Grrr! Please? Bitey! Bitey!

Of course, you can, Doodle. And for the wolf we've got...

A space helmet?

A pirate's hat?

A clown's wig?!

Ah-ha! This fluffy jacket is perfect. There you go, Doodle.

Ah-ha-ha-ha! I'm a big, fluffy, old wolf!

Bitey! Bitey!

And for the grandmother, a silly, frilly bonnet.

Oh! Ohhh!

HE GROANS

That's all very well, but what about MEEEEE?

And for Pru...we have this!

Bwauck!

I-I-It's...blue!

Sorry, Pru, that's all there is.

You'll just have to be Little Blue Riding Hood instead.

Bwauck? Bwauck!

(Ready, Tiptoe?)

Once upon a time, there was a little girl.

Um, Tilly...

(Is something wrong, Hector?)

I don't really want to be a grandmother.

Oh. Why not?

Well, I'd much rather be a great, big, stompy dinosaur!

GROWLS AND ROARS

OK, I'll be the grandmother

and you can be a great, big, stompy dinosaur.

No, no, no, no, no. There are no dinosaurs in this story.

-And that's that.

-Oh!

-Tilly?

-Yes, Tumpty.

I think it'd be more fun if my woodcutter

was a tap-dancing woodcutter.

Oh, Tumpty, what a performance!

I love it!

Bwauck! No, no, no, no, no.

There's no tap-dancing in this story and that's that.

-Tilly!

-Yes, Doddle.

-I don't want to chase after the grandmother.

I'd rather try some juggling instead.

Oh, yes, Doodle. Fantastic idea.

No, no, no, no, no. This is MY play

and there will be no juggling or tap dancing or dinosaurs.

And that's that.

Oh!

Oh, Pru, we're supposed to be having fun.

Yes, and it will be fun if everyone does as they're told!

Let's start again. Places, everyone!

Once upon a time...

Oh, what a lovely day for visiting my grandmother.

I shall take her this basket of goodies.

And so, Little Blue Riding Hood set off into the forest,

but soon she met a bitey wolf!

Hello, Little Blue Riding Hood.

Would you like to watch me juggle?

No, I would not! You are a very silly wolf and you can't be in my play!

Pru, that's not very nice.

I'm the star of the show and I can do what I want.

Well, if Doodle's going, then I'm going too.

And so am I! Dinosaur's don't like mean old bossy-boots!

Oh, Pru! Now look what you've done!

Pah! I don't care. I can perform this play all on my own.

# It's all about me!

# It's all about ME!

# As happy as any hen can be

# If it's all about me

# From inside a bush

# Or behind a tree

# It doesn't matter where I am

# It's all about me

# As soon as I wake up

# Until after my tea

# Of this I can be sure

# It's all about me

# It's all about...me

# It's all about me

# B-But I'm not as happy as a hen should be. #

Oh, dear!

DISTANT LAUGHTER

I'm the king of the castle! Oh! HECTOR GIGGLES

-No, I'm the king of the castle!

-TUMPTY CHUCKLES

-Ahem!

-Hello, Pru!

-I've come to say sorry.

I think I got a bit carried away.

Pru, you got A LOT carried away.

I did, and I'm super-sorry with sprinkles on top.

So, how's your play coming along?

Terribly!

Terribly?

Being in a one-hen play is no fun at all.

So I was wondering, maybe, possibly, would you? Could you?

Of course we will, Pru.

And so, Little Blue Riding Hood shared out her apples

with all her new friends.

Thank you, Little Blue Riding Hood.

We've had a lovely day.

You really are lots and lots of fun.

And they all lived happily ever after.

THEY CLAP

Bravo!

Wah-hoo!

Well done, Pru.

Best play ever!

Thank you! Thank you.

But I couldn't have done it without all of you.

Oh, lovely! Oh, thank you, thank you.
