# Welcome to The Furchester Hotel. #

This way a bit. This way...

-That's it.

-OK.

-No, no, the other way.

Other way. Oh, perfect! Thank you.

I believe The Furchester's brand-new fruit-ripening lounge is ready.

Auntie Funella! Auntie Funella! One more thing.

-Oh.

-Oh.

-Music to ripen by.

Any piece of fruit will really love it here, Mum.

-Yes, this is your best idea yet, my love.

-Oh boy.

I declare The Furchester's first ever fruit-ripening lounge open.

Yay!

Now, all we need is our first fruit guest.

DING DING

There it is, over there,

the ripening lounge!

Last one in the fruit bowl is a rotten apple!

Ooh, I want to sit in that fruit bowl - it will protect my grapes.

No, dear, it's not for you. That's a pineapple dish, for sure.

-Don't be silly. There is no such thing.

-I'm telling you there is.

It's a fruit bowl.

We're all fruit and I'm getting in.

This is definitely the perfect place to ripen.

I beg your pardon! I saw it first.

I want to sit in the fruit bowl.

We all want to sit in the fruit bowl.

Oh, no! We have a problem.

All the fruit want to be in the fruit bowl at the same time.

What are we going to do?

Maybe Mr Pineapple, Miss Grapes and Mr Orange can share the bowl.

-Share the bowl?

-I suppose we could try.

-Careful!

-There, now how's that?

Oh, I don't want to sit next to Mr Pineapple.

He is a bit prickly and I have very delicate skin.

Why don't you swap places with Mr Orange?

OK. Here we go. Steady.

-Watch it.

-Here we are.

-How is that, now?

He's still sitting next to me, just on the other side.

Oh, look, let's face it, this really is a problem.

This bowl just isn't big enough for all of us.

-Well, I'm not getting out.

-Me neither!

-Well, I'm not comfortable, so I'm getting out.

-Steady.

Oh, no, Oh, no, Mr Orange!

-Elmo's coming. Elmo's coming, Mr Orange.

-Sorry!

Oh, dear. This isn't working.

I don't think the fruit can share the fruit bowl.

-Why did you push me out of the bowl?

-I didn't.

-Excuse me.

Could you keep the noise down? I'm trying to read.

I'm sorry, Mr Dull, we have a few problems

with our new ripening lounge.

I've got an idea. Why don't you take turns in the fruit bowl?

Take turns? That sounds fair.

Oh, yeah, then you'll be nice and cosy.

-Yeah, that could solve the problem.

-Forget it.

I'm not giving up this sweet spot.

Look, you're not the only one who wants to be comfy, you know.

Oh, I was so sure the fruit-ripening lounge would make

our fruit guests happy.

It will make them happy, Mum, if they stop arguing.

But they won't stop arguing. This is a huge problem.

It's a catastrophe.

DING DING DING

# It's more than just a slip up or a mess-up or a mishap

# A Furchester catastrophe we need to fix it fast-rophe

# Put it in the past-rophe This simply can not last-rophe

# A Furchester catastrophe The problem is so bad-strophe

# We're really flabbergast-rophe Let's ding the bell for blast-trophe

-# Catastrophe catastrophe

-What a disas-trophe

-# Catastrophe catastrophe

-We need to fix it fast-trophe

# Catastrophe catastrophe let's put it in the past-trophe

# It's a catastra what a disaster It's a catastrophe! #

This is the worst catastrophe we've had since this morning.

How are we ever going to help our fruit guests

to be happy in the ripening-lounge?

-Let's put our furry heads together and think.

-Yeah.

Well, maybe there's something bigger the fruit could relax in.

It might be easier for them to share.

Well, what about a swimming pool?

If they can't share a fruit bowl, would they be able to share a pool?

We would need three swimming pools.

-I'm not sure fruit can swim.

-What we need is three fruit bowls -

-one for each fruit.

-Oh! Yes!

-Great idea, Phoebe.

Wait until you see all our fruit bowls.

-We get to choose any fruit bowl we want?

-Yes.

Cookie Monster, show us the bowls please.

OK. Got nice selection here.

There we go. OK. Now, this bowl made from single piece of wood

-and it hand-tooled by this woodland squirrel.

-Hello.

-And it is very smooth to touch.

-Oh, I like that one.

-It won't be rough on my delicate skin.

-Terrific. OK.

Now, this is a beauty.

Now, this one made from highly durable plastic

and it very deep.

Now that is a fruit bowl that will keep me from rolling out.

OK, next we have this one. Now, this one big enough for pineapple -

-maybe that why it called pineapple dish.

-You see?

-I told you there was such a thing.

-Yep.

You no can go wrong with any of these bowls. And you know what else?

-They all are good for holding cookies.

-Cookies!

Did you say cookies?

Cookie Monster, we don't need these bowls for cookies.

-We need the bowls for fruit.

-Oh.

Oh, well, you know what? Me can fix that.

-There! Three fruit bowls!

-Ooh!

Thanks, Cookie Monster.

Now there is one bowl for each fruit.

I think our problem is solved.

Glad me could help.

What a wonderful idea, Phoebe. Now our fruit guests are happy at last.

Oh, excuse me, my bowl isn't in the sunlight.

Yes, the pineapple is hogging all the sunlight.

-I am not!

-Yes, you are.

And I need sunlight to ripen.

Oh, no! It's starting again.

The fruit are arguing.

Well, maybe the fruit can take turns in the sunlight.

Yes, you can keep moving their bowls around.

-And Elmo will help, too.

-Great.

Move the bowls!

Fuzzawubba! That gives me a monster idea.

We can help the fruit share the sunlight with this.

This is perfect.

-Everyone is happy.

-Yes, the fruit are so relaxed.

And nobody is arguing.

Our problem is solved.

Oh. I see you finally got the fruit to quieten down.

BONG

Ding!

Dong!

THEY SHOUT

-Oh, boy.

-Oh, wow, even monster tea-time didn't bother them.

The ripening lounge is a success.

Our work here is done.

Not quite, my peach. It looks like we've got some more guests.

-We heard about your ripening lounge.

-Yeah.

-I can't wait to rest my core.

And get some light on my peel.

So, where is my bowl?

Furgus, keep turning.

Phoebe, get bowls. Elmo, go and welcome the guests.
