Bugs Wussywat the Clumsy Cat

Wossat? 'Ello.

-Oop.

-Hey!

-Sorry, Ortus.

Hey, Duckadile! Oh 'ello.

Hi, Ird.

Hello.

It's a bright, sunny day in the garden and Wussywat

and Duckadile are having a picnic.

Oh, I love pic-y-nics. Lots of yummy things to eat.

And it's outside too! Ha-ha! So much fun.

Oh, hello, Ortus. Hello, Ird.

Ooh, wossat?

That's a magnifying glass, Wussywat.

For making things look bigger.

That's right, it's perfect for spotting bugs.

We're on a bug hunt, you see. If you look through there...

The glass magnifies what you're looking at.

Ooh! Cos bugs are really, really small, see?

Whoa, whoa! Oof.

Oh, Wussywat. You are a clumsy cat.

Come on, Ortus, let's get going on our bug hunt.

-Would you like to join us, Wussywat?

-Yes.

-He-he! Let's eat first!

-But can I come after we've had our picnic?

Yes, but we have to find some bugs first. There aren't many about.

Maybe they're sleeping. Hey, our fruit is running away!

So it is, Wussywat.

That is peculiar.

Follow the fruit, Wussywat!

We've got to stop it! It's our pic-y-nic.

Oh! Ooh!

'Nanas, my favourite!

Coccinellidae? No.

Rhopalocera? No.

Hello again, Ortus. Hello again, Ird.

Wossat?

It's me bug book, Wussywat.

I'm checking the scientific names for common bugs.

But we can't find any.

Oh, dear, Ortus. Why don't you stop looking at all

those long words and have a bite to eat?

Ooh, yes, come on. I'm all bugged out.

-Let's have some cucumber sandwiches.

-Oh, goody!

One cumcumber sandwich coming up.

Hmm, where are they?

I don't know, Wussywat. Where did you put them?

Oh, oh, they're making a run for it, look!

Like the fruit. Time for a squirt.

No, Duckadile, you'll make them all soggy.

I will catch them...with this!

There, that'll stop those naughty sandwiches escaping.

Ooh! Whoa!

Oof!

Ooh, you've done it now, Wussywat.

Oh, sorry. The pic-y-nic is acting very strange today.

Yes, it is, isn't it? I wonder why that is.

Yip-yip! Yip yip!

Oh, dear, looks like Oggy's found something now.

Look out, Wussywat, Ortus is floating toward you.

Ortus, how are you moving without your legs?

I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation for thi-is!

Yup-yup! Hup, yup! Lunch, yup-yup!

Whoa! Whoa-a-a!

Whoa-oh!

You've done it now, Wussywat.

-Argh!

-My magnifying glass!

Quickly, Wussywat! You can coach it.

Ooh.

Cor! The picnic things

are moving all by themselves.

Wait a minute, they're...

Oh, wossat?

It looks like an army of ants, Wussywat.

Oh-ho-ho!

Ants! Formicidae.

At last, some bugs!

But they aren't very happy, Ortus.

I think they are moving our picnic because...

because they are moving house.

And we are in their way, cos they're all moving in a line.

Yes, Wussywat, that's right. It's so they know which way they're going.

-Like follow-the-leader

-Oh, that gives me an idea.

The ants are moving to their new home and we are in their way.

So, let's move our picnic to somewhere new, too.

Ha-hey! Come on.

What a kind and considerate thing to do, Wussywat.

Well, this has turned out to be a most unusual bug hunt.

But we still haven't seen many bugs.

We have! We've seen lots of ants, or Formicidae.

Yes, you have, Wussywat. Well remembered. And look!

Hello, Mr Wagonfly. Oh, hello, Buzzy Bee.

Oh, hello! Hoo-ha!

Look, Ortus, the bugs want to share our picnic.

Wow! Yes! Bugs!

Brilliant bugs!

We can eat our pic-a-nic and watch buggy bugs

all at the same time.

Well done, Wussywat.

You are a clever cat.

Bye-bye!
