BEASTGreat googly moogly!

(Gurgling)

I wish I had a hat like that.

Beast, your head is too big.

I never get anything!

Here comes Maggie.

Hi, Maggie.

Something wrong?

I wish I had one of those French hats

like you and Hamilton have.

Maggie, I told him they don’t come in his size.

Cheer up, Beast.

There aren’t any hats big enough for you.

Look!

We’re going to find this treasure

in the desert!

Maggie, how do you know that X means treasure?

X marks the spot!

Hooray! Let’s go!

Hamilton! Are the canteens filled with water?

Canteens filled, General!

All right! Mount up!



Beast! Move out!

Right, General!

But I still wish I had a hat.

(Egyptian music)

Great googly moogly!

HAMILTONAmazing!

MAGGIEMind-boggling!

Whew! I’m sorry, Maggie,

but I’m thirsty again.

I am, too.

Me, too. (Sighing)

(Gulping)

(Gulping)

(Gulping)

Beast, stop!

You were supposed to save some!

Now what do we do?

Don’t worry, we’ll just have to find water.

In the desert?

Sure.

Haven’t you ever heard of an oasis?

What’s that?

It’s a green spot in the desert

with plants and water.

Yeah, Hamilton.

Haven’t you ever heard of an... "osis"?

It’s "oasis", Beast.

OK, OK.

(Slithering)

Uh, Beast?

Are you making that noise?

(Screaming)

(With French accent:) Relax!

I’m not going to hurt you.

I’m not afraid of you.

I’m only afraid of mice.

Really?

Have you seen one?

Not today.

Ah. Too bad.

I can’t remember the last time

I had a good mouse.

I think we better get moving along.

What’s your hurry?

Uh, we’re late!

For what?

Um, I’ll think of something.

Now, move!

(Slithering)

(Panting)

(Sighing)

Maggie, I’m so thirsty!

Try not to think about it.

(Gasping) Green tangerines!

There’s a camel coming this way!

(Triumphant music)

Welcome to the desert.

I am Calli.

Look! He has one of those hats!

I’m Maggie.

This is Hamilton Hocks,

and the Ferocious Beast.

I am honoured,

but I must say the Great Spotted One

does not appear to be very ferocious.

(Beast sighing)

It’s very hot,

and I’m much too thirsty to be ferocious.

May I ask why you have come to the desert?

We’re searching for the treasure.

What treasure may that be?
[ … ]

We’re not sure.

Maybe gold or diamonds.

And I think we’d better be on our way.

I’ll walk along with you.

Why don’t we head in this direction?

Lead on, Calli!

(Egyptian music)

(Sniffing)

Why are you stopping, Calli?

Do not ask any questions.

Quickly! Lie flat on the sand.

(Wind blowing)

You too, Beast.

(Wind howling)

The storm is over.

You may rise.

(Gasping)

What’s wrong?

Uh... Uh...

Why are you looking at me?

(Gasping)

My spots are gone!

I’m sorry, O Great Spotted One.

I’m afraid they are gone forever.

Swallowed up by the sand.

It’s all right, Beast.

I always pack an extra set.

Thank you! Thank you!

(Spots popping)

There ya go!

Does anyone want to eat lunch?

No, thank you.

I’m too thirsty to eat.

Me too.

(Sighing) I agree.

Follow me just over that dune.

(Egyptian music)

Oh, Calli!

This is beautiful!

(All cheering)

But what is this strange-looking spring?

May I suggest you taste it?

Are you sure it’s safe?

(Calli laughing) Trust me.

(Splashing, slurping)

It’s a lemonade spring!

No!

Yes! Taste it!

(Slurping)

Thank you, Calli!

HAMILTON AND BEASTOh, yes, thank you!

(Slurping)

Mmm, that was delicious!

Now, can we look for the treasure?

I believe Calli has brought us

to the treasure.

But what about the diamonds and gold?

And the rubies and the emeralds?

What greater treasure could there be

in a hot, dry desert,

than a lemonade spring?

Calli is right.

He certainly is.

Thank you, Calli.

You are most welcome.

Now fill your canteens,

and I will lead you to the edge of the desert.

We found two treasures in the desert.

The lemonade spring, and a new and dear friend.

I also have a present for the Great Spotted One.

You wanted a hat,

but I present you with this silk umbrella

to protect you from the sun on your journey home.

Oh, thank you!

It’s beautiful!

Are we ready?

Ready!

CALLIMove out!

(Squawking)

Ahh!

Mmm!

(Crunching)

(Bird cawing)

(Cawing)

(Squawking)

(Bird cawing, wings flapping)

(Rustling)

Now, let me see.

Hmm.

Do you have a three?

Hmm.

Go fish!

All right, then. If you insist.

This is fun, I like Go Fish.

(Wind blowing) My cards!

Gotcha!

What a close call.

Did we get them all?

I think so.

Now we can’t finish the game.

It’s getting late, anyway.

It’s almost bedtime.

Quite right, quite right.

Hey, let’s call it a night.

(Wind blowing, shivering)

Don’t you have a coat, Nedley?

(Teeth chattering)

Here, Nedley, you can borrow my sweater.

Are you sure?

Sure I’m sure.

I won’t need it tonight.

My box is very warm.

Just be careful with it.

Yes, yes.

It’s my one and only sweater.

Yes, Hamilton.

And try not to stretch it!

Thank you.

I do feel a bit of a chill.

(Bouncing)

Now, I’d better head out over the hill.

I’ll need it back tomorrow.

Of course!

Good night! Sleep tight!

MAGGIE AND BEASTDon’t let the bedbugs bite!

I hope my sweater will be OK.

(Sighing)

Good night, Hamilton!

Oh!

Tonight, I’ll sleep in Hamilton’s sweater.

And in the morning, I’ll feel much better!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Good morning, Hamilton!

It’s a beautiful day!

Why are you wearing your raincoat?

It’s not raining.

It’s all I have to wear.

Nedley still has my sweater.

Well, let’s go visit him and get it back.

Good idea! Let’s go!

Are you sure you don’t have anything else to wear?

What about your pyjamas?

I can’t go walking around in my pyjamas!

Why not?

It isn’t right!

That’ll be cooler.

Let’s go!

Yoo-hoo! Nedley!

Are you in there?

NEDLEYI’ll be up in a flash,

I’ve just cleaned up the trash!

That’s odd.

Nedley doesn’t usually clean his house.

(Gasping)

I hope he’s not cleaning his house in my sweater!

He wouldn’t do that.

No, he’d never do that.

I just want my sweater back.

Oh, don’t worry, Hamilton.

You just have to ask him for it.

Ohh!
[ … ]

Nedley!

(Jaunty banjo music)

(Springing)

(Clattering)

(Squealing)

Hi, everyone!

Go on!

Nedley, I came to get my sweater.

And I’ll return it nice and neat.

And now, I must get you something to eat.

I want my sweater now!

Well, then tell him that.

Go on.

NEDLEYCarrot muffins for us all.

So nice of you to come and call.

Oh, thank you, Nedley!

(Slurping)

Now, Nedley, about my sweater.

Excuse me, please.

There is work to do.

I’ll return your sweater when I’m through.

Oh, ah, no trouble at all.

(Springing)

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Oh! I’m very disappointed in Nedley.

I should never have lent him my sweater!

Hmm.

What can we do?

What can we do? Hmm.

I know! We can go swimming!

I don’t want to go swimming!

If we take Nedley swimming,

he’ll have to change into his bathing suit

and he’ll take off your sweater!

Good idea, Beast!

Yeah! Good idea!

Nedley?

Want to go swimming?

(Springing)

I must decline with great regret.

I don’t want to get my sweater wet.

Ohh!

We need a new plan.

What do rabbits like to do?

Rabbits like to play Go Fish.

That’s Nedley's favourite game.

I’ve got an idea!

Nedley!

Would you like to play Go Fish?

Oh, yes!

Let’s go play at the beach

where it’s nice and warm.

(Hamilton gasping) Mm-hmm!

That’s a very good plan.

We’ll play cards in the sand.

(Bouncing)

He’ll get so hot,

he’ll just have to take off that sweater.

Come on!



I’m as hot as a boiling carrot.

Did you bring lemonade?

Can we share it?

Sorry, Nedley.

We didn’t bring any lemonade.

It’s very hot.

Luckily I am not.

Let’s play here.

(Upbeat jazz music)

Whew.

It’s not working!

Oh, I don’t feel like playing anymore.

Come on, Hamilton.

This is fun!

Don’t spoil it for everyone.

I think you know what’s troubling him.

He wants his sweater.

That I know.

But I just can’t bear to let it go.

Which would you rather keep?

A sweater or a friend?

Hamilton, I’m as sorry as sorry can be.

And I hope that you’re not mad at me.

Having you for a friend

is a whole lot better

than even the world’s most beautiful sweater.

Hoo-wee! Thanks, Nedley!

Friends?

Friends!

Come on, Hamilton!

It’s your turn!

Oh, go on and play without me.

I’ve got some laundry to do!
