[upbeat music]

- Thank you Mr. Zoey.

- Hi Zou.

Have you been shopping?

- Yep.

Huh?

Hey Poc, I hope you haven't
been helping yourself

to anything in there.

I need it all for my cake.

[tweeting]

- You're going to make a cake?

- Hmm, hmm.

[grunting]

Yep, for mom.

Grandma's going to help me.

It's Mother's Day.

- Oh no, I forgot.

- I'm going to make a card too.

You can make one with me, for your mom.

- Aw, thanks Zou.

- Zou?

- Coming Grandma.

Mom's gone to Aunt Zelda's.

She won't be back for a bit,

but we should get on with it.

Come on.

[giggling]

[upbeat music]

Oops, sorry Grandpa.

- Are you all right?

- I'm fine, I've just
been to see your nana.

She gave me one of her kisses.

[laughing]

- Nana's kisses can be a bit messy.

[giggling]

[upbeat music]

- That's enough sugar Zou.

Now you mix that into the butter.

[upbeat music]

[tweeting]

- Huh?

[giggling]

- Poc?

[giggling]

- Now you beat the eggs together

and then pour them a little bit at a time

into the sugar and butter mix.

[upbeat music]

Steady Zou, if you pour
the eggs in too quickly

the mixture will go lumpy.

- What next Grandma?

- Now for the flour and to sift.

- Mmm.

- Hold the sieve above the
bowl and sieve it gently

into the mixture.

I'll mix it in.

There, that looks just perfect.

- Huh?

Uh, it doesn't look very cakey.

- Not yet.

Next we pour the mixture
into two cake tins.

That's it.

The same amount in each tin.

- How's the cake coming along?

- It's a big gooey at the moment.

[tweeting]

- There, they should be
ready in about half an hour.

- And while we're waiting
I can make mom's card.

- I've nearly finished mine, look.

Oh no, what's happened?

[tweeting]

Oh Poc.

- Well, we've still got
time to make another one

and this time Poc, you're not to help.

[dinging]

- Have you finished your card yet, Zou?

- Yep Grandma.

What do you think?

- It's beautiful Zou.

I'm sure mom will love it.

- I've made mine too.

- Well you are a very clever pair.

- I'm going to go home now
and give my mom the card.

Thanks for all the help.

- See you later Elzee.

- Bye, save some cake for me.

[upbeat music]

- Right Zou, now we need to
ice the cake and decorate it.

- Yeah.

[laughing]

[upbeat music]

[giggling]

- There.

You've made a lovely cake Zou.

- Thanks for helping me
Grandma and now we can...

Mom's back.

Mom, mom, mom.

Oh, hi dad.

- Hello Zou, not pleased to see me?

[laughing]

- Of course I am, I just,
I thought it was mom.

It's Mother's Day and I wanted
to say happy Mother's Day.

- Well I'm sure she'll be
very pleased when you do.

In the meantime, I'm hungry.

- Boots Wellington, Detective.

[grunting]

- Mmm, mmm, now that's
what I call delicious.

Would you like a piece of this cake Zou?

- Hmm, oh yeah, yes please dad.

[tweeting]

- Wow.

- Yeah, you have to get up
pretty early in the morning.

- [Man] You've got me paying
for rights Mr. Wellington.

- Pretty good cake eh?

- Mmm, yummy.

Oh no.

- Oh, well I think it's scrumptious.

Is something the matter Zou?

- The cake, I made it for mom.

- Oh, I'm so sorry Zou.

I didn't realize.

- You didn't know dad.

Hmm, I'll have to make
another before she gets back.

- Zou, are you sure you know how?

- Grandma helped me make the last one

so I know what to do now
and I want to make it

all on my own.

Eggs, butter.

Next we need some flour.

Sugar.

That should be enough sugar.

[grunting]

[tweeting]

Huh?

Poc?

Sorry Poc.

[upbeat music]

Oh.

[sneezing]

- [Mom] I'm home.

- Uh oh.

- Hey Zou?

Oh.

Oh my.

Bizou, what's going on?

- I wanted to make you
a cake for Mother's Day

but I had a bit of an accident.

- Hey, what's going on in here?

Oh.

- Bizou, what a mess.

I think someone should have
given you a little help Bizou.

Come on, let's get the place cleaned up

and then I'll help you make that cake.

- Thank you mom.

Finished.

- Now that's what I call a cake [kissing].

- Happy Mother's Day.

- Oh thank you Zou.

It's beautiful.

- Do you want some cake now mom?

- Well there are some
other mothers in the house,

should we ask if they want some too?

- What other mothers?

- Happy Mother's Day.

- Happy Mother's Day.

- Happy Mother's Day.

- [All] Happy Mother's Day, hooray.

- What a beautiful cake.

- Zou made it.

- In that case, come over here Zou dear.

- One to base, I'm leaving sector seven.

[rocket noises]

All on to Planet Zoey for fresh supplies.

- Zou?

You might need this.

- Ooh.

Thanks mom.

Rocket one to base.

I've been supplied with a space helmet.

- Hello Zou, and what
can I do for you today?

- I've got a list.

Oops.

Wait, it's in my space helmet.

I need some provisions please Mr. Zoey.

I'm going camping.

- Camping, wow, and what are provisions?

- Provisions, that means
the food you take with you

when you go camping, right Zou?

- That's right Mr. Zoey.

And grandpa's got a tent
and everything in the garage

and I'm going camping.

So what I need is...

- Someone to go camping with.

- Sorry Zak, I've already
got a camping partner.

It's Elzee.

- But can I come too?

- Well, uh, you see.

- Maybe some other time Zak,
when you're a little bit older.

- But I'm a really, really good camper.

- Now Zou, what do you need?

- Bread, butter, some milk for Nana,

a tin of sardines, some
cheese, some jelly astronauts,

a banana, and base rations.

- [Mr. Zoey] Hold on, one thing at a time.

- Hi mom.

- Zou, what's the big rush?

- I got the shopping but can't stop.

Me and Elzee are going camping.

- Camping, that's nice Bizou.

- Grandpa, I'm ready to go camping.

- Just as soon as I finish
this ironing for your grandma.

- Can I help, then we can go.

- It's really a one zebra job Zou.

[upbeat music]

[humming]

[tweeting]

Now that's what I call ironing.

- Wow.

- Well are we going camping or are we...

- Going camping, yay.

[tweeting]

- Now first things first,
we need my old tent.

- Okay, I'll take this side.

It's not here.

- Here we are.

[laughing]

- Poc.

[tweeting]

[laughing]

Hmm.

Elzee, Elzee, grandpa's found the tent.

We can set up camp.

- [Elzee] Where is it?

- Over there with grandpa.

- Oh, we had some good
times back in the day,

me and this tent.

- Grandpa, how do these go together?

- Like this.

Then we need one to go along the top.

[tweeting]

[laughing]

Right, hold it steady, while I...

[groaning]

Ow, oh dear.

Not quite as easy as I remember.

Right, now we pull it upright.

Oh it takes me back does this.

Now I remember when I was
camping in darkest Africa.

- Africa, when?

- Oh, a long, long time ago.

I was on an expedition to
the deepest darkest jungle

with this very tent and
one night I found myself

surrounded by fierce wild animals.

- What sort of wild animals grandpa?

- Oh you know the usual sort,

big and fierce with teeth
like this [growling].

- So, what happened?

- Oh they ate me all up, boots and all.

[laughing]

- Grandpa?

- No, of course they didn't.

What you have to remember
about wild animals

is that they're usually
as frightened of you

as you are of them.

So, when they surrounded
me I decided to give them

a fright, like this [growling].

[laughing]

That's how we deal with wild animals.

- Now let's get camping.

[groaning]

[giggling]

Grandpa?

- There, now that's what I call a tent.

- It looks great.

Oh no, we've forgotten something.

Provisions, it won't be
a proper camping trip

without something to eat.

- You're absolutely right.

I'll tell you what, you get settled in

and I'll go and fetch the provisions.

- Thanks grandpa.

- Oh and make sure you keep sharp eyes out

for wild animals.

- We will.

- You can't be too careful
when you're camping.

- Oh, now there's a surprise.

Are you making supper tonight dear?

- No, just some sandwiches
for the campers.

- I thought it was too good to be true.

- Now, what have we got to put in them?

[doorbell ringing]

Oh hello there Zak.

- Hello, Zou forgot these sardines.

- Well thanks for bringing them over.

You've just solved a little problem.

- Have I?

- Yep, I was just wondering what to put

in the camper's sandwiches.

- So Zou's out camping?

- Yes, in the back garden.

- Come on in Zak.

- Zou, did your grandpa
really go camping in Africa?

- I don't know, but I'm sure he's met

some wild animals.

- Yes, really big ones.

- With great big teeth and
big strong claws and...

- What was that?

- I don't know.

Probably nothing.

- Zou, you know what your grandpa said,

about looking out for wild animals?

- Yes.

- There, there aren't too
many wild animals around here,

are there?

- I, I don't think so.

[leaves rustling]

- What do we do?

- We do what grandpa did,

we have to try and scare it away.

- How?

- Remember what grandpa said,

wild animals are as scared
of you as you are of them.

- Are you sure?

- There's only way to find out.

So let's roar at it.

- Like this?

Roar.

- More like this.

[roaring]

Oh grandpa and Zak.

- Hello.

- What was that all about?

- Sorry grandpa, we thought
you were a wild animal.

- Oh, not us.

We're not wild, are we Zak?

- No, we were just bringing
you your camping food.

Zou, is it lots of fun camping?

- Yeah lots.

Especially the wild animal bit.

Zak, as you're here, how would you like

to come camping with us?

- Woo hoo, would I, yes.

Yes please.

Oh I'd better go tell my dad.

- I'll go and tell him for you.

You get camping.

- Woo hoo, I'm going to be a camper.

Woo hoo.

- [Zou] I love camping.

- [Zak] Yeah, me too.

- [Zou] There's only one
thing I don't like about it.

- [Elzee] Huh, what's that?

- [Zou] Sardine sandwiches, bleh.

[laughing]
