(whimsical engine revving)

- Hooble doop tiddly peeps.

I'm Hubba Hubba,

talking to you from Hoob Land,

and I'm about to send

four of my favorite hoobs

down to earth to find

out all about you for

my great Hoobapedia.

Here they come!

♪ The Hoobs are here

[Hoob Group]- Hoobs!

(soft humming)

(birds chirping)

- There we are heeble leaf tree,

a hoobly groobly polish.

Oh, look at you!

You really have

grown into a big,

beautiful tree haven't you?

(quiet sighing)

Oh!

Wait a minute!

What's that?

(tuba trumpeting)

(paper rustling)

- Groove, what are

you looking for?

- Oh, some paper.

I want to make a list of

things I've been right about

for my "things Groove was

right about" collection.

- Groove, can't you be

right after Hooble News?

[Tula] - Iver, Groove,

come and look at this!

(water flowing)

(birds chirping)

- Hoobie galoobie!

(delighted chortling)

It's a bunch of heeble berries!

- Oh, Tula.

Heeble berries are really rare!

They hardly ever grow!

- I know!

And it means I can

make the most extra

special hoob treat of all.

- You mean?

- Yes, Groove,

heeble berry jelly.

- Heeble belly jerry.

- Heeble berry jelly Groove.

- Heeble belly jerry,

heeble belly jerry,

heeble belly jerry.

(soft sighing)

- My heeble leaf

tree is so clever!

- Well actually Tula,

it's not that clever.

There are hoob loads of

peep trees that grow fruit.

- Oh, really?

Like what?

♪ What ♪

(tuba blowing)

- I'll tell you what.

Apples, pears, and

oranges for three.

- Ah, but the heeble leaf

tree doesn't just grow fruit.

It does hoob loads

of other things too.

- Oh, well, so do peep trees.

Yeah, in fact they probably

do even more things than

the heeble leaf tree.

Trust me Tula, this is something

I'm definitely right about.

- Okay.

So what can you do with a

peep tree that you can't do

with a heeble leaf tree?

[Video Phone] - Hubba Hubba!

Hubba Hubba!

- Oh, Tula!

You've hit the question!

- What can you do with a

peep tree that you can't do

with a heeble leaf tree?

What a fantabbie hoobie

question for Hoob News!

And goodness me!

Am I mistaken or that a

bunch of heeble berries

you have there Tula?

- It certainly is Hubba Hubba.

- Oh, well you've

done very well!

I've tended my heeble leaf tree

with loving care for years,

but it's never, ever,

ever grown berries.

I don't suppose you

could give me a couple of

gardening tips could you?

- Of course Hubba Hubba!

- Oh fantally hoobie!

But first I'll e-mail

Roma to get her

finding out about trees.

And while I'm doing that,

let's see what

comes up on Hooblet.

(mechanical computing)

[Hubba Hubba] - All sorts

of animals like to make

their homes in trees.

You see look!

You see birds, insects,

yes, they love to make

the trees their homes,

because there's plenty of

space and plenty of light!

(machine powering down)

- Some of those homes

looked very cozy.

- And all in peep trees!

(satisfied laughing)

- Well actually Groove,

back in Hoob Land

hoob loads of creatures

make their homes

in heeble leaf trees.

- Oh, yeah?

Like who?

♪ Who ♪

♪ Who who who who ♪

♪ Who ♪

(tuba blowing)

- I'll show you who.

Here is a hooble pecker's nest,

and up there is the pod

of a fluffle hopper.

And here is a twizzle

bug's hidey hole.

- Hoobie galoobie!

Where are they all?

- They couldn't

come with us Groove.

They have all made new

homes in heeble leaf trees

back in Hoob Land.

- But it does mean the heeble

leaf tree is home to just

as many creatures

as the peep trees.

So that's one all.

- One all?

What do you mean one all?

What are doing Iver?

I'm keeping score.

- Keeping score?

Well if this is going to be

something I'm right about

then what I need is someone

who knows all about peep trees!

But who?

♪ Who who who ♪

♪ Who ♪

(whimsical flute melody)

[Video Phone] - Hubba Hubba!

Hubba Hubba!

- Hubba Hubba he'll know who!

- Ah! Hoobs!

I think your little

hoobie creatures

have made homes in

my heeble leaf tree.

Look!

There's a little hooble

pecker in his nest.

- Awww.

- And up there is the little

fluffle hopper in his pod.

Hooble doop!

(delighted sighing)

And round here I found the

twizzle bug in his hidey hole.

(softly sighing)

How hoobaceous is that?

- Very hoobaceous Hubba Hubba!

But you still don't have

any heeble berries do you?

- No!

Now, I was wondering.

What do you feed your

heeble leaf tree on Tula?

- Oh!

Hoobygoop Hubba Hubba.

- Hoobygoop.

Oh!

I've been using hoobnip jam.

I'll try goop, and see if that

makes heeble berries grow.

- Hubba Hubba, excuse me

I need to find someone who

knows about peep trees.

- Hmmm.

Well what about

the tiddly peeps?

- Hoobie groovie

idea Hubba Hubba!

- Come on Iver you can drive me,

and Tula you can make

the heeble belly jerry.

- Heeble berry jelly Groove!

(soft giggling)

- Whatever.

- Seat belt Iver?

- Yes!

- We're off to see

the tiddly peeps!

- Hooble doop Groove!

- Do you want to

do a Hoobie hello?

- Yes!

Hooble doop, hooble doop!

Whoop, whoop, whoop!

(soft laughing)

- Hey, that looks

hoobie groovie!

- It is!

It's a swing my Dad made for us.

(excited gasping)

- Do you think I

could have a go?

- Of course!

(happy laughing)

(relaxed melody)

(playful laughing)

(rapid breathing)

(amused laughing)

(rapid gasping)

(amused laughing)

- Do you know playing with

you tiddly peeps is one of the

best things about

the peep planet!

Thanks very much!

Oh well, I better be off now.

[Iver] - Groove!

- You haven't asked

them the question!

- Oh, no!

I haven't, have I?

(amused giggling) I was

having so much fun playing

around that tree I

completely forgot.

Wait a minute!

Playing 'round the tree!

Did you hear that Tula, Iver?

Something else you can

do with a peep tree!

Play 'round it!

Thanks for the

game tiddly peeps!

Hooble toodle doo!

- Hooble toodle doo!

(excited chuckling)

(whimsical piano melody)

See Tula!

You can play games

with the peep tree.

- Well I bet they're not

as much fun as the games

you can play with

a heeble leaf tree.

- Oh, yes, such as?

- Such as, here we go

round the heeble leaf tree.

- Oh, here we go round

the heeble leaf tree!

Do you know I haven't played

that since I was a hooblet.

- Oh, well then, let's go.

♪ Here we go round

(exerted gasping)

- So Groove how

much fun was that?

- Well I've got to admit Tula,

it was really hoobie groovie.

- So the peep tree, and

the heeble leaf tree are

still neck and neck.

Or should I say trunk and trunk?

(soft giggling)

Oh, oh well.

Maybe not.

(soft giggling)

(guitar riffing)

- Heebie bother.

I need to find something

else that a peep tree can do.

[Video Phone] - Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba!

- Oh, there's Hubba Hubba.

He'll help!

- Ah, hoobs.

I've just found a lovely

story that a tiddly peep has

sent in to Hooblet.

Take a look.

(computer warbling)

(birds chirping)

[Narrator] - Lyle

was going on holiday,

and the thing he was

looking forward to the most

was playing under the sun.

- Hi ya Lyle!

[Narrator] - Said the sun.

[Lyle] - Hi ya sun!

[Narrator] - Said Lyle.

I'm going to play

underneath you all day long!

[Narrator] - So Lyle did

his best rollie pollies,

his fastest running,

and his highest jumps ever!

(spring bouncing)

But soon he realized he was

feeling very hot, and tired!

- I think I better introduce

you to a good friend of mine.

The tree!

- But it's all dark

and shady under there!

I won't be able to play!

- Hi ya Lyle,

[Narator] - said the tree.

- Hi ya tree,

[Narrator] - said

Lyle, grumpily.

- You know, you can do just

as many things in the shade

as you can in the sun!

- Like what?

- Well, you can read,

or draw, or do puzzles,

or you can just sit with leaves

rustling above your head.

[Narrator] - And as Lyle

sat in the shade with the

leafy branches he began

to feel cool and comfy.

- Actually, I like

it under here.

(kazoo whistling)

- Well, whenever

you need some shade,

you know where I am!

[Sun] - And whenever

you need some sun

[Narrator] - said the sun,

peeping down through

the branches,

- you know where I am!

[Narrator] - And from

then on, Lyle spent

just as much time

playing in the shade

as he did playing under the sun.

Which is exactly

how it should be.

(amused laughing)

- See I'm definitely right!

That peep tree shaded

Lyle from the hot sun.

Yeah, how clever is that?

- Well, I'm sure the

heeble leaf tree could too.

Come on!

Let's try it out.

- But Tula, it's not sunny!

(disappointed groaning)

- There are too many clouds!

- I really need to see if the

heeble leaf tree is shady!

But how?

♪ How how how ♪

♪ How ♪

- I'll be the sun!

That's how!

- Oh!

It suits you Iver!

(pleased chuckling)

♪ High up above in

the blue blue sky ♪

♪ The sun smiles

down in the day ♪

♪ But just when we need

him to work something out ♪

♪ Oh heeble leaf tree what

fine berries you've grown ♪

♪ Is a peep tree the best ♪

we need to our quest ♪

♪ Of the heeble leaf tree ♪

♪ The heeble leaf tree ♪

- Yes, well I suppose

you're right Tula,

with all these huge leaves,

I couldn't see the sun at all.

- So, how shady was

my heeble leaf tree?

- I'd say just as

shady as the peep tree.

- My heeble leaf tree

is doing really well.

- Must be something you

can do with a peep tree

that you can't do with

a heeble leaf tree.

[Video Phone] - Roma, Roma!

Roma, Roma!

- Well, if anyone

knows it's Roma.

(video phone warbling)

- Hooble doop hoobs!

- Hooble doop Roma!

- Now Hubba Hubba tells

me you're finding out

all about peep trees.

[Groove] - Yeah.

- Well hoobs, I've found

out the most hoobaceous

thing there is!

You're not going

to believe this!

Look what comes from trees!

- Chairs? Chairs grow on trees?

- No, no, no Groove!

Chairs don't actually

grow on trees,

but they're made from the

wood that comes from trees.

- Yeah, but it's still

pretty clever though!

- So, how do you get

wood from trees Roma?

- Well Tula,

first trees are chopped down,

then they're brought

to places like this

called timber yards.

Here they get cut up into huge

flat pieces called planks,

and from these planks all

wooden things are made.

- Oh, what sort of things Roma?

- Oh, almost anything

you like Iver.

Tables, bowls,

spoons, houses even!

- That settles it!

Peep trees are

definitely the winners!

Oh, one other thing

you should know hoobs,

it's very important that not

all trees are chopped down.

Lots should be left to grow.

Because, and this

is the amazing bit,

apparently they help make the

air that the peeps breathe.

- Hoobie galoobie!

Peep trees are so clever!

- They certainly are Groove!

Well, I'm off to have a

go at making something

out of wood myself.

This is Roma Hoob off

for a good old whittle.

Hooble doodle doo!

- Hooble toodle doo!

- Oh, peep trees are even

more clever than I thought.

You can make things out of them.

I am so right!

How about that then Tula?

Tula?

Tula!

- Well, Groove, I'd like you

to have a look at some of

the things I have made

from the heeble leaf tree.

First...

a bowl.

- But that...

That's not bad!

- And a basket.

- Oh, yes!

That stem makes a good handle.

- And an occasional table.

- Oh, hoobaceous!

- Well, Groove, I

think it's a draw!

(frustrated groaning)

- Does this mean that there's

nothing you can do with a

peep tree that you can't

do with a heeble leaf tree?

- Looks like it.

Let's call Hubba Hubba.

[Video Phone] - Hubba Hubba!

Hubba Hubba!

- And what do you think of

my heeble leaf hat hoobs?

- Hubba Hubba it's beautiful!

- And just look!

[Tula] - Hubba Hubba, well done!

You'll be having

heeble berry jelly too.

- I certainly will Tula.

Now how are you getting on?

- Oh, ummm.

We're close!

- Well there's still

time for one last visit

to the tiddly peeps.

- Good idea Hubba Hubba!

- I'll go!

- And I'll drive!

- And I'll check on

the heeble berry jelly.

It's probably just about set.

- Hooble doop Groove!

- Right.

You have to tell me the

hoobie grooviest thing you can

think of about peep trees.

- Have you tried

playing with them?

- Tried it.

- Shade?

- Done it.

- Have you tried making

things with wood?

- Yep, we've done

all of those things.

- Oh, wait a minute!

I'll show you the best

thing ever about trees!

- Right.

So are you going to draw

this hoobie groovie thing

on this piece of paper?

- No, the thing is

the piece of paper!

- What?

- Paper is made from trees!

- Oh no!

- How does it work?

- Well wood gets mushed

up into tiny pieces,

and then mixed with water.

- What's that called?

- Pulp!

You spread the pulp out,

the water dries away,

and then you've got

a sheet of paper.

- Did you see Tula?

- I certainly did.

- Peep trees are so clever!

Well I better get back

to the the hoob mobile.

Hooble toodle doo!

- Hooble toodle doo!

(cork popping)

(whimsical melody)

- Oh well, I think

that settles it.

Ha paper!

Heeble leaf trees

do not make paper.

Peep trees are

definitely the winners,

and I am definitely right!

- Heeble belly jerry!

- Heeble berry jelly Groove!

- Cheer up Tula!

In a way we're all winners.

Because we all have our

answer for Hoob News.

- Yeah, and we all have

heeble belly jerry.

- Heeble berry!

- All right Tula,

I'm only teasing.

(muttering scolding)

Not until after

[Video Phone] - Hubba Hubba!

Hubba Hubba!

- Well now hoobs are

you ready with your news

for my great hoobapedia?

- Ready Hubba Hubba!

- Then take it away!

(soft drumming)

- Hooble doop whoop to

all you hoobs out there!

Welcome to Hoob News!

The news show for

hoobs everywhere.

I'm Iver.

- I'm Tula.

- And I'm Groove.

- And today we've been

asking the question,

- What can you do

with a peep tree that

you can't do with

a heeble leaf tree?

[Groove] - First Hubba

Hubba showed us lots of

pictures of creatures

who live in peep trees.

[Tula] - But then I

showed Iver and Groove

all the homes that

hoob creatures make

in the heeble leaf tree.

[Iver] - Then Groove

visited the tiddly peeps,

and they showed him the

peep trees are hoobaceous

places to play.

[Tula] - But then I

showed Iver and Groove a

hoobly groobly game

you can play around the

heeble leaf tree.

[Groove] - Then Hubba

Hubba found a story about

Lyle who used a peep tree

to shade from the sun.

[Iver] - So we tested it

out on the heeble leaf tree.

[Tula] - Which turned

out to be just as shady.

[Groove] - Then Roma

showed us some hoovy groovy

things you can make out of wood,

which comes from peep trees.

[Tula] - But then I

showed Iver and Groove all

the things I've made

from my heeble leaf tree.

[Groove] - But then a

tiddly peep showed me

something really special.

- Paper!

You make paper from peep trees!

- Fantabyhooby!

So it's thanks once again to

Iver, Tula, Groove, and Roma

for giving hoobs everywhere

a little peep into

the world of peeps.

And remember, wherever you are,

have a nice day, and

hooble toodle doo!

- Hooble toodle doo!

- Groove what you doing?

- I'm just adding peep

trees to my list of

"things Groove was right about."

- I thought you didn't

have any paper to write

your list on.

- I used one of these

dry, flat things I found

up on the roof garden.

- Wait a minute!

That is a dried out heeble leaf.

And you've used it

exactly like paper!

Which means you are

not right, I am.

- No, I am.

- Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!

Let's call it a draw.

Let's have some heeble

berry jelly to celebrate.

- Aww yeah!

Heeble belly jerry!

- Come on!

- Heeble berry jelly Groove!
