"Dear Aunt Lucy,

Today was the grand opening of the city farm

and my new friend Baaz was very excited.

I wanted to help him make it perfect.

So I decided I'd take a batch of my finest marmalade sandwiches

to keep Baaz's energy levels up."

Hello? Baaz?

"I should tell you more about Baaz's farm, Aunt Lucy.

It's an incredible place.

I can't believe it's in a city like London!

Some of the flowers are enormous,

and some very tiny indeed."

Now, I wonder where Baaz is?

Baaz! I've come bearing gifts!

Of the marmalade variety...

Um... Excuse me!

I'd really rather you didn't.

Oh!

How rude!



- [Grunting]

- Huh?

Hey!

I think you've forgotten your manners.

I know they're tempting.

I've been very tempted to eat one myself.

But they're for...

Baaz!

[Gasps] The sandwiches!

Hey!

Shoo! Shoo!

They're all gone.

Bish, bash, bosh! If it isn't my favourite spectacled bear!

Oh, hello, Baaz.

I did make you some sandwiches,

but they turned out to be rather popular with the animals.

Oh, how kind! Not that I'd have time to eat them.

I'm rushed off my feet getting everything tip

-top



- for the grand opening!

- Oh!



- So where shall I get started?

- OK, first up...

I need to run through my guided

-tour speech.



- Can I practice on you?

- Oh, of course.

Excellent! Right, hold this for me.

Oh!

Um, ladies and gentlemen, uh, and bears...

[Nervously] I'd like to welcome you to my city farm.

Now, all the food grown here is recycled... uh, I mean, organic.



- Oh! I'm so sorry.

- It's OK, Baaz. Keep going!

And everything I built from recycled food!



- Rubbish.

- Oh, was it?

I think you mean recycled "rubbish".

Oh, ha! Yeah, yeah!

Anyway, this way.

So, when I was a little boy,

it was my dream to bring the countryside to the city.

And now I'm proud...



- Oh, dear.

- Oh, giddy gosh, was it bad?



- Was I boring?

- No, I enjoyed it.



- But your chicken...

- Oh, don't worry about her.

She's free roaming! Now, follow me.

I'd like to show you my upcycled inventions.

This way.

Oh. Oh, sorry, no. This way...

This is my strawberry tower...

tyre planters...

And this collects rain water!

And this...

Uh, well, I'm not sure what this is yet.



- It looks great, though.

- Thanks, Pads.

And now, for the best part of the tour...

the animals!

Now, where are they hiding?

Oh, they could be anywhere.

They are free

-roaming, after all.

Ha, ha! Top marks, Paddington. You have been paying attention.

Now then, any questions?



- Do the animals ever escape?

- Well, no,

because I keep the main gate closed at all times.

Oh, thanks goodness for that.

As long as no one leaves it open.

Exactly.

You really wouldn't want to do that.

Nope.

Oh, no! I'm very sorry, Baaz.

I was in such a hurry to find you,

I must have forgotten to close it.

Oh, my goodness!

We have to get all the animals back before the grand opening.

I'm sure we can find them.

The only problem is, we have no idea where they are!

Never fear, Paddington.

I have invented something for this exact sort of thing!

An animal detector!

Every farm animal has a remote tracker on them.

The nearer we are to the animal,

the louder the beeps will be!



- Would you like to hold it?

- Oh, yes, please.

It's rather like a metal detector.

Now, stay alert.

The animals could be anywhere.

[Beeping increases]

Huh! An animal must be in the park somewhere.



- [Rustling]

- Listen!

There's something in that bush!

What do you think it is, Baaz?

Something quite large. Probably a pig.

OK. After three.

One, two, three!



- Aaah!

- Aaah!



- What's going on?

- I'm so sorry, Ms Potts.



- We thought you were a pig.

- A pig?

It's a big pink animal with a curly tail.



- I know what a pig is!

- [Baaz chuckles]

I think that's enough there, Paddington.

Sorry to have bothered you, Miss Potts! Let's go.

Here you go, PC Wells.

One Colombian Arepa cheese sandwich!



- I'll go and get your drink.

- Mmm.

I've been looking forward to this all day.

You ate that fast!

[Grunting]

What on Earth?

I should arrest you for stealing my sandwich!



- [Beeping]

- Warm... warm...

Oh! Getting warmer!

We're right on top of it, Paddington!

Oh, there he is!

I'm terribly sorry. Come on.

OK, I'll... I'll let you off with a warning this time.

[Rock music]

[Gasps]

Ach!

Baa!

[Door opens]

Stop!

Not on my nice clean floor.

Of course. Have you, by any chance, seen a goat,



- Mrs Bird?

- A goat?

Like a sheep, but without the

-

-

I know what a goat is, Paddington!

But there is no goat in the house.

[Bleating and screaming]

[Gasp]

Why is there a goat in the house?



- It's my goat.

- But it's my fault she's here.

I'm sorry, Mrs Brown.

Come on, time to get you back to the farm.

Unless, of course, you'd like to stroke Gertrude?

She is rather cute.

Aaah! Hmm...

"We rounded up most of the animals quite quickly,

but the chickens proved to be rather elusive."

Perhaps I should cancel the grand opening.

But the whole of Windsor Gardens is looking forward to it!

They'll get to share your dream, just like I have.

I don't think I'll get to share anything, Paddington.

I'm sorry, Baaz. This is all my fault.



- [Bleeping]

- Huh?

[Bleeping gets stronger]

The chickens!



- Chickens?

- Yes, Mr Curry.

Little feathery things with beaks...

I know what chickens are!

If my house was infested with chickens,

I'm pretty sure I would have seen chickens!

But, Mr Curry, it says they are right here.

Argh! Ridiculous!

Baa!

Oh! Chickens indeed. Whatever next?

Thank you.

[Clucking]

[Clucking]

Aaah! Chicken! Chicken!

More chickens!

[Clucking]

Aaah!

[Panting]

[Gulps]



- [Clucking]

- Aaah!

Aaah!

Oh, there you are, ladies!

All back together at last.

Come on, let's get everyone home.

We may have missed the opening,

but at least the animals are all home, safe and sound.



- Oh, my goodness, Baaz, look!

- What?

Everyoneishere!

Wow! [Clears throat]

Welcome, everybody.

I declare your city farm officially open!



- [Cheering]

- Wonderful!

Now, who's up for a guided tour?

"And so, Aunt Lucy,

Baaz's grand opening was enjoyed by everyone!

Some people say that dreams can't come true,

but I think they should think again,

because Baaz's dream certainly did.

Love from Paddington."

"Dear Aunt Lucy,

this week, I learned a new expression.

'One man's trash is another man's treasure.'

It all started when we noticed a big pile of rubbish at the farm.

Well, we thought it was rubbish... "

Good morning, Baaz. Can we help you to clear up?

Good morning! Oh, can you pass me those broken pots?

Ah, thanking you!

If you don't mind me asking, Baaz.

Uh, tin?

Why are you arranging this rubbish so carefully?

Whoa! This isn't rubbish, Paddington. This is a bug hotel.



- Cool!

- All these used, unwanted

and broken things will create habitats for insects.

There you go little fella, the penthouse suite.

This is way cooler than throwing rubbish away.

There are loads of things that get thrown away every day

that could be used for something else.



- Like a cosy home for insects.

- Exactly!

And why buy plastic plant pots

when I can grow my herbs in these old bottles.

It's called upcycling.

Tin can?

Bosh. Pencil holder.

How marvellous!

I had no idea so many things could be re

-used.

Oh, yeah, and it's much kinder to the world we live in

than throwing things away.

What could that be used for, Baaz?

Hmm, now let me think.

Bam! Shoe rack.



- Wow!

- Wonderful, Baaz!

I'd love to try upcycling too!

Well, I love your enthusiasm.

In fact, it's given me an amazing idea!

Aw, my poor strawberries.

What am I supposed to grow here?

It's always so dark!

Um... the amazing idea, Baaz?

Hmm? Oh, yeah, yeah!

I have a challenge for you!

You two should have a go at making something for the farm.

It must only be made from old, unwanted items, nothing new.

And if I can use it here,

I'll give you a special reward for all your hard work.

A reward?

BOTH: Challenge accepted!

"We couldn't wait to get started.

Jonathan went home to gather up the recycling.

I collected unwanted items from Mr Gruber.

We decided to spend the whole day working in the treehouse

until we'd made something truly amazing for Baaz!"

[Straining]

Oh!

Oh, bother!

There.

Be with you in a moment.

Oof!

Oh!

Huh? Argh!

Huh?

Aaah! I know it's you squirrels who've been eating my bulbs!

Well, it's the last time.

I'll find a way to stop you if it's the last thing I do!

Oh!

Whee!

Oh! Made it!

Ooh! It looks like you've made a great start already, Jonathan.

Well, we need to earn that reward, Paddington!



- What do you think it will be?

- I don't mind.

I'm just excited to make something for Baaz's farm.

Aunt Lucy always says that a good deed is its own reward.

I... I guess...

But ice cream is a tastier reward.

[Gasps] Wanna see what I've been working on so far?

Oh, yes, please.

OK. I'm thinking Baaz likes animals and wellies, so...

pig wellies!

Oh, aren't they just... wellies?

Yes, but... we'll put them on the pig!

I don't think pigs like wearing shoes, Jonathan.

Or is it that just no one has ever asked them?

OK, not very original, but...



- sock puppet!

- Oh, it's very fun!

But I'm not sure how it will help the farm.



- Could this help?

- Whoa!



- Terribly sorry, Mr Curry!

- Bear!

Get your rubbish out my...

Hold on. This is perfect.

The squirrels will never get my bulbs now! Ha, ha, ha!

Hear that, squirrels? Ha!



- Um... thank you.

- Oh, you're very welcome!

If the fence is making too much shade, just remove it.

Why didn't I think of this sooner, Heera?

Baa!

Oh, yeah, that's why.

Gertrude... Uh, Gertrude... Hey, Gertrude...



- Back, back, back.

- Baa!

So, how's the upcycling going?

Great. We found a new use for an old bin.

Mr Curry seemed very pleased.

But it was just an accident.

I really want to make something useful for the farm,

but we haven't come up with any properly good ideas of our own.

Ach! There's no shame in coming up with ideas by accident!

Some of the world's best inventions were accidents.

So maybe we need to create some more accidents

until we make something awesome!

But you can't create an accident as they... well...

happen by accident.

A marmalapple!

OK, accidental invention time.

I'll count to three,

and then we'll each grab one thing from our pile.



- Them squash them together.

- OK.

One, two, three...

Scarf bottle? To keep Baaz's drinks warm

while he's working outside.

Hmm. Uh, belt brush?

Oh!

So Baaz can brush his eyebrows while he works!

If we keep going we'll come up with something great.

We're never going to get the reward!

I don't think I really mind about the reward, Jonathan.

Isn't the fun of making things together the real reward?

Well, making things together is fun...

but the reward is definitely therealreward.

I mean, that's why it's called "the reward".

MRS BROWN: Jonathan! Paddington!

I thought you might like a drink.



- Ooh! What's this?

- A llama stroker.



- Ah! Of course!

- We can't think of anything



- good to invent!

- Well, upcycling

doesn't have to be about inventing something totally new.

It can be about creating something beautiful.

A wonderful artist named William Morris

said that everything you own should be useful or beautiful.

You could make something that's both.

But the most important thing is that you have fun.

Hmm.

Shall we try squashing everything together again?

Thanks, Paddington, but we've tried that.

I think we're just going to have to accept

that we're not that good at upcyc...

[Gasps] Hang on a minute!

Paddington, you've done it!



- Have I?

- I know exactly

what we can make for Baaz.

And it's going to be useful andbeautiful!

And new and sort of an accident!

This is gonna be the best upcycling ever!

That's an amazing sign for my new bug hotel,

made out of unwanted wood and bottle tops.

Yeah. I'm impressed!

And that's not all. Look!

You can angle the mirror so it reflects sunlight

onto the shady part of your garden.

Now your strawberries can get the light they need.

Do you like it?

We wanted to make an invention that was beautiful and useful.

And... and you have!

I'm... speechless.



- Oh, thank you, guys!

- All in a day's work!

Come on, Paddington.

But Jonathan, don't you want your reward?

Oh, yeah... the reward.

Actually, we don't need a reward, Baaz.

We've had so much fun today and making something really useful

feels pretty amazing, because...



- a good deed is its own reward.

- Oh, wow!

That's the most beautiful thing that I've ever heard.

Come on, we're off to upcycle some more!

"And we did, Aunt Lucy.

Jonathan has been making all kinds of amazing things

for the family.

Here's my latest invention just for you, Aunt Lucy.

A marmalade sandwich holder.

Love from Paddington."
