"Dear Aunt Lucy,

Making a new friend is a wonderful thing,

especially if that friend is full of surprises.

Let me explain.

It all started when we saw

something strange in the garden."



- What was that?

- What was what?

There it is again!

Oh! Must be our new neighbour!

Dad said they might be moving in today.

I wonder what she's like.

My name is Paddington Brown and it's a pleasure to meet you.

My daddy is an astronaut and he lives in space!



- What did she just say?

- Her dad lives in space?



- What's your name?

- Is he really an astronaut?

My name's Toqeeh, but everyone calls me Toq.

I live with my mum and we moved in today.

Oh, and there's a goblin that lives in my shed.

What?



- A goblin?

- What's a goblin?

A little green thing, like... "I'm a goblin."

Actually they're blue. And I'd know because I've seen it,

because it lives in that shed.



- Wanna come see?

- [Gasps] Let's go!

[Chuckles]

Come on. It's over here.

Hi! I'm Dr Yasmin. I just moved in next door.

Oh, hi! Welcome! Wonderful to meet you!

And a cake! Oh! You didn't need to do that.

It's us that should be welcoming you with a cake.



- Did someone say cake?

- Oh! Mr Curry!

This is our new neighbour, Dr Yasmin.

Doctor, eh? Well, nice to have one of them on the street.

Raise the tone somewhat.

Maybe you could have a look at this ingrowing hair.

I'm sure she doesn't need to see that



- at nine in the morning.

- Oh! What about this spot



- inside my nostril?

- Mr Curry!

That's OK! Swing by my surgery any time.

I'm happy to look at people's problems.



- I'm a doctor. It's what I do.

- And you make cakes.

Ah, well, I made a cake for the Browns



- 'cause they're next door.

- And I'm next door to them.



- I'm sure Dr Yasmin

-

-

- No problem! I love baking.

I'll rustle one up. Uh... strawberry OK?



- Oh, I'm not fussy.

- OK, then. I'll see you later.

Bye!

I like her already.

Finally, somebody on this street understands community spirit.

That's where I first saw the goblin

and we have to be really quiet because it has really big ears.

It isn't a nasty goblin, is it?

Don't worry, Paddington. Goblins aren't real.



- Then why are you whispering?

- In case it hears us.

Uh...

[Gasps] Look! Sweetie wrappers. It must be nearby.

Are you sure they're not justyoursweetie wrappers?

Well, kind of. I fed it my sweeties.



- There's no goblin.

- Don't say that.

You might upset the goblin.

It can't get upset because it isn't real!



- [Gasp]

- Go and say hello, Paddington.

Um, hello, Mr Goblin?

Um, or... Mrs Goblin?



- [Squeaking]

- [Screaming]

[Laughter]



- You were so scared!

- You were more scared than me!

I must admit, I was a little scared.

I wasn't. Goblins don't scare me,

because I'm a black belt in karate.

You do karate too? I love karate!

You do? I mean, um, you wouldn't know it though,

because I don't do regular karate.

I do, um... super karate.

Super karate? That sounds awesome!

And I know loads of special moves,

like flying kicks and spinning kicks and... fireballs.



- Fireballs?

- Yeah,

but I can't show you that. It's too dangerous.



- Can you show us any of it?

- I'm not supposed to,

because my Sensei says you can't do

super karate outside of the Dojo.

Come on, you can show us one move, right?

If you really know how to do it?

Yeah. Course I do.

[Door bell rings]



- Oh! Gah!

- It's the one at the back,

gone black it has.

You do do dentistry as well?

I'm afraid not, Mr Curry, but no need to worry about your teeth

with this cake, no added sugar, all organic,

and just the natural sweetness of strawberries and almonds.



- Oh.

- What?



- Almonds.

- Yes.



- I can't eat them.

- Oh, goodness!



- Are you allergic?

- No, no.



- Just don't like almonds.

- Ha! Well, I suppose

I'll have to go and make you a whole new cake from scratch.

That would be very nice indeed.

[Slam]

No raisins!



- OK, are you ready?

- Oh, yes.

Because I'm going to do super karate.



- Cool!

- I'm gonna do it



- after this bounce.

- I'm so excited.

Actually, put those plant pots on your head.



- What?

- For protection.



- And get behind that bench.

- Better to be safe than sorry.

OK, this is it.

Go on, Toq!



- Actually, I need a drink.

- Just do the move!

OK, here it comes. Three, two, one, and...

Go!

[Karate cry]

Wow!

That was amazing!

I've never seen anything like it.



- Very accomplished.

- Oh, that was nothing.

Basically a level

-one move.



- That wasn't karate!

- No, it was super karate.

Look. This is karate.

[Karate cries]

To be fair, Toq's was way better.

Well,shehad a trampoline.

How about we all stop playing and have a big slice of cake?



- Cake?

- Yeah, I've got a giant cake

and it's covered in blueberries and we can share it if you want.



- Yeah!

- Wait.

How do we know this isn't another trick, like the goblin



- and the super karate?

- The goblin wasn't a trick.

He just must have run away.



- And we just saw the karate!

- That wasn't karate!

Toq, you seem really nice, and I want to be your friend,

but I think you make things up

and if you say there's a big cake for us all to eat,

I think that maybe, really, there isn't one.

Then what is that?



- Wow!

- I take it all back!

Sure we're allowed to eat this?

Yeah, my mum made it for me because I asked her to.

And I said I wanted to share it with our new neighbours.

That's really nice of you, Toq. Sorry for what I said before.

I should have believed you.

I don't mind. It's just nice to play with you all.

Let's eat!



- Mmm!

- Oh, my gosh! It's so nice!

Quite delicious!



- Um, hello, everyone.

- Hi, Mum.

These are my friends from next door.

Hi, how are you? Pleasure to meet you all.

And thrilled you are all enjoying Mr Curry's cake.



- This is Mr Curry's cake?

- But Toq said...

I imagine Toq told you lots of things. Did you, Toq?



- Yes, Mum. Sorry, Mum.

- Oh, goodness!

We didn't know this cake was meant for someone else,

or we would never have eaten it.



- We're really sorry.

- Yes, we're very sorry.

Oh, please! Enjoy it.

What's cake for if not sharing with new friends?

Well, that is very nice of you.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to preheat the oven



- and get baking for Mr Curry.

- Don't use raisins or almonds.

Oh, I know that. Thank you!

Pleasure to meet you. Stay as long as you like.

Was everything untrue? The goblin and the karate?

Um, yes. Sorry.



- I feel a bit silly now.

- Me too.

[Sighs] I'm sorry I made all those things up.

I just wanted you all to play with me.

It's a bit scary moving to a new place

and I was desperate for you all to like me.

Oh, we do like you!

And we really enjoyed playing with you.

Only because you believed my fun stories.

That's not true. The fun bit wasn't the stories.

The fun bit was playing with you,

and we'd have done that even if you hadn't said

there was a goblin, or that you knew karate,

or that your dad lived in space.

Oh, that last oneistrue.

He's an astronaut on the international space station.

It's way up there in space,

but sometimes you can see it fly past

if you look in just the right part of the night sky.

I know how it feels to have family far away.

It helps to have friends here in Windsor Gardens.

I'll be your friend from now on.

And I'm sure Jonathan and Judy will too.

"Toq turned out to be a great new neighbour and friend.

Judy showed her some real karate.

Jonathan has gone on some more goblin hunts."

Aaah!

"Toq showed us where her dad works.

And we all helped bake Mr Curry a nice big cake

to make up for the one we ate.

It can be scary moving to a new place,

but as you say, Aunt Lucy,

all you need to do for people to like you is just be yourself.

Love from Paddington."

"Dear Aunt Lucy,

this week, we made the news!

The Browns love the news.

It must be very interesting,

because it makes them have lots of different emotions.



- Laughter..."

- [Squeal with mirth]

"Concern, intrigue,



- confusion..."

- Well, I never!

"And sometimes their hearts melt."

ALL: Aw...

I'm sorry to disturb you all,

but what's so interesting about the newspaper?

Well, it's full of stories about the world around us.



- Like bedtime stories?

- I guess you could call them

breakfast stories.



- But these ones are true.

- You'll never guess what.

A squirrel is stealing Mr Curry's breakfast!

Come and see!

[Western duel music]

Give... me... back... my...



- flapjack!

- [Gasp]



- Thank you.

- Aw...

Aah! Squirrel slobber!

[Anguished cries]

Mrs Brown, is this the sort of story

you'd read about in your newspaper?

If there was a Windsor Gardens newspaper, maybe.

But we don't have one of those.

"And just like that, I had an idea."

We could make our own newspaper

and call itThe Windsor Times!

I like it. Or how about The Garden Gossip?

Wait! I've nearly got something...

The Windsor Gardens Bugle!

This is it!

The JJPSPT.



- I don't get it.

- It stands for...

The Jonathan and Judy and Paddington



- Stories Paper for Today.

- Uh...

Just call itThe Windsor Times.

And let's call ourselves the Press Pack,

finding the stories that everyone wants to read!



- Cool.

- That sounds wonderful.

Only problem is, school starts again tomorrow.

Which means we have to get the newspaper written today.

So, stories. What have you guys got for me?

We need something juicy.

Oh, then I heard Mrs Bird's baking an apple crumble.



- Hmm...

- I've got one,

about a magical creature I saw on the city farm!

Toq, we can't make up stories.

I did see one! I really did!

We could do with another reporter in the press pack.

Oh, count me in!

"So, off we went, Aunt Lucy, the Press Pack,

on a mission to find the news!"

Hello, Sofia, we're looking for local news stories.



- I don't suppose you have one?

- Well, I'm about to celebrate



- my ,th customer.

- Wonderful!



- And who is customer ,?

- Whoever comes in next!

And how are you going to celebrate the occasion?

Hmm. I hadn't actually thought of anything.

Hmm. Ah!

When customer , appears, we'll jump out and celebrate.

And Judy and Toq will take a photo for the newsletter.

All we have to do is wait.

Ahem!

Hmm...



- [Groans]

- Would you... like to order?

I'm not quite ready. Uh...

Um...

Um...



- Just a glass of tap water.

- Congratulations!



- [Wailing]

- Customer ,!



- How do you feel, Mr Curry?

- Uh... Ahem...

Very shocked. Very shocked indeed.

Colombian soup. On the house!

Free food? Ooh! Suddenly I'm feeling much more perky.

"We had our first story!

And very soon after, Jonathan had found another story."

Apparently, Mateo is about to attempt

a brand

-new skateboard trick that he's never done before.



- What's the trick called?

- The Mateo!

And I've been practising all week.

You are gonna lose it when you see it.



- Lose what?

- Your minds!

This will be perfect for the back page.



- Why the back page?

- It's the Sports Page.

Mateo, Jonathan here from theWindsor Times.

Can you describe your new trick for our readers?

Sure. It's a frontside followed by a backside ,

a hardflip, varial kick

-flip, toeflip, board

-slide,

couple of ollies, finishing with a dragon flip.



- Did you get all that?

- I ran out of paper.

Just a couple more questions, Mateo.

[Panting] Oh!

When did you first start skateboarding?



- Look out!

- Smile for a photo!

Whoa!

Who's your favourite skateboarder?

What's your favourite ice cream?

How do you feel about the weather?

What is your favourite colour?

Um... Um... purple!

What did you have for breakfast?

Who is your biggest inspiration?

Who won the world cup in ?

Do you prefer marmalade on toast or on bread?



- How did that go?

- Somehow, Paddington,

with your help, that was the best trick I've ever done.

Thank you, Mateo.

And how do you feel, Mr Curry?

Um, once again, very shocked.

"We spent the rest of the afternoon gathering stories

forThe Windsor Times.

I must say, we were really getting the hang of it."

OK, we've got some good scoops here, guys.

But we need a big story for the front page!

What's so special about the front page, Judy?

It's the first thing people will see,

so it needs to be our biggest story to grab their attention!

Oh! We're near the city farm!

We could find the magical creature!

Toq, as I said before, we can't make up news, it has to be real.

It's our job to tell the truth.



- [Sirens]

- Hold on!

What's going on over there?

Please, stand back everyone. That's it!



- What is it?

- Paddington, it's a mystery.

It could be something ancient, from a long time forgot.

[Straining]

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Judy, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

That this could be our front

-page story?

Oh! I was actually thinking about dinner, but yes.

It's coming up!

[Gasp]



- What on earth is it?

- A swamp monster?



- A sea mushroom?

- A cauliflower?

JONATHAN: It's definitely a prehistoric fish.

ALL: Aw...

It's a... wellington boot.

Hmm. Not as a cool as a prehistoric fish.

Uh, looks like we'll need another front

-page story.

Let's split up and see what we can find.

Let's stop at Mr Gruber's shop.

He often has wonderful stories to tell.

Or we could go into the farm.

Just in case we, you know, see something.

That's a good idea, Toq. Everyone loves an animal story!

Come on, Paddington, this way.



- Hello.

- [Grunting]



- Did you hear that?

- No, I didn't hear anything.

You wait here. I'll go and have a look.

Maybe this could be the front

-page story.

Paddington! Come here!

I think I saw the magical creature again!

The one from before!

What does this creature look like?

Oh, it's got beautiful hair, beautiful eyes

and a massive horn on its head.



- It's a unicorn!

- Baa!

PADDINGTON: Oh, my goodness!

Baa!

Toq, did you put a party hat on the goat's head?

You mean the unicorn's head, right?

Quick! Let's go and report back to the others!

It's not a unicorn, Toq.

[Sighs] I know.

I shouldn't be in the press pack.

I'm no good at finding real news stories.

Toq, we love having you in the press pack.

You have the best imagination of anyone I know.



- Really?

- Really.

Baa!

"We decided to add a Creative Writing page

and Toq wrote up her magical unicorn story!

And as for the front page, well, it wrote itself.

Windsor Times launches its first issue!

[Laughter]

"Everyone agreed it brought the community closer together."

Oh!

"And that is all of today's news.

Reporting from London. Love from Paddington."
