Lost Wussywat the Clumsy Cat

Wossat?

Hello.

-Whoops.

-Hey.

-Sorry, Ortus.

-Hey, Duckadile!

-Oh, hello.

Oops. Hi, Ird.

Whoops!

Hello.

It's a bright sunny day

in the garden

and here's Wussywat,

but why so early, I wonder?

-Whoops.

-Sorry, Wussywat.

-Wossat?

-It's, erm, oh, dear.

It looks like a map to me, Ortus.

-You going somewhere?

-Exactly. We're going hiking!

We're going to the big trees with our backpacks.

Also, I've got a compass. It's Uncle Urtles, you know.

Good thinking, Ortus.

-Don't want you getting lost, do we?

-Ooh. Wossat?

A compass. It helps you know where you're going, Wussywat,

-together with the map.

-But I know where I'm going. To the big trees.

Yeah, there won't be any signs.

You see, we'll have to, er, follow our noses.

Oh, no sign, only noses.

-OK, let's go.

-To the big trees!

Noses are goeses. Ha-ha!

Wait for me.

Ooh, are we there yet? This looks like a big tree to me.

Yes, it does. But there's only one of them, Wussywat.

There's half of one over there!

Not sure that counts, Duckadile.

Let's have a look at the map, see where we are.

So, we must be here and we need to get here.

Let me see.

-Hey, where's er...

-Where's Wussywat?

-Whoa!

Oh, you've done it now, Wussywat.

Oops. Sorry, everyone.

Now how do we get to where we are going?

-Just where is it you're going anyway?

-The big trees.

Ooh, why didn't you say? I'm going there myself to pick blackberries.

-I'll take you.

-ALL: Yay!

Oh, look, footprints.

I've got to leave a note for Pie. She's due for breakfast.

Come on, then! Follow me.

# We're off to see the big trees the big trees, the big trees. #

Ooh, sing-alongs are fun. Here we are, safe and sound.

-Just get me blackberries.

-Ooh, look at these footprints.

I wonder where they go? Ooh!

Cor, these are big trees.

Yes, and there's more than one, Wussywat.

Yes, there's definitely more than one.

-Whoa.

-Right, that's me sorted. I'm off to make Pie's breakfast.

-You all OK?

-Yes, we're fine thanks, Ird.

-Right. Toodle-oo.

-Oh, but...

-How are we going to...

-Find our way back.

With Uncle Urtle's compass, of course.

Oh, can I have a go this time, please?

-All right!

-But you have to be careful with it. OK?

Yes, Wussywat. Compasses are very fragile.

Whoa!

-Oh, dear.

-Clumsy cat!

Now we really are...

..lost.

We don't have a map and Ird's gone home

and we lost the compass

so what shall we do?

Not to worry, Ortus.

I think Wussywat might have a plan. Look.

These blackberries on my boots make footprints on the ground

the same colour as the ones here already

and the ones we saw on the way.

Maybe if we follow them, we can find our way back.

What a good idea, Wussywat.

I wonder who they belong to?

-One way to find out.

-Follow those footprints. Ha-h!

OK, but what about my... Oh, dear.

# We've been to see the big trees, the big trees, the big trees. #

-Oggy. They were you footprints all along.

-Yip-yip! Berry collector.

-Ooh, not a very good one if you keep eating them.

-Hiya!

I was on my way here when I found this shiny thing in the trees.

-Is it yours?

-It's Uncle Urtles compass.

Thank you, Pie.

Now everyone is happy

and back safely from an eventful hike, thanks to Wussywat.

We just followed our noses and our toeses. Ha-ha!

Yes, you did, Wussywat.

You are a clever cat.

Bye-bye.
