01x04 - Tarragon and the Eggs

[bunniefuu]

do you know how herbs grow

sometimes it's because a seed falls onto

a patch of earth

it takes root and it grows

sometimes it withers and dies but if it

is taken care of

it grows into a strong healthy plant

it needs food of course not too little

and not too much certainly not as much

as bay leaf gave to the tarragon

tarragon is a herb it gets its name from

a word meaning

dragon so you can guess that bay leaf

wasn't very popular when he upset the

plant food all over it

and it grew and grew

and grew in fact sir basil and lady

rosemary

not to mention sage and constable

napweed

all had quite a time of it

and as for parsley

well i think we'd better go into the

magic herb garden

and see what happened

herbie audacious

here comes bay leaf busy as usual

i'm bailey find the gardener i work from

early dawn you'll find me sweeping up

police and tidy in

the lawn ah he's having a rest

i don't blame him he's been busy going

around the garden feeding all the plants

helping to make them grow strong and

healthy

that's what's in the bag plant food

watch out

oh dear now the bags burst

all over the tarragon plant

oh oh oh ah

now bailey if it's no use grumbling you

did it

you have to go and fetch a bucket and

broom

if lady rosemary sees this mess she

won't be at all pleased

look at that it's beginning to grow

already

i hope bay leaf isn't long

it must be almost up to sage's nest

oh

let me tell you i've never set foot in a

cage

to be truthful i've not felt the

slightest desire to be covered in wood

held together by wire

here's parsley i wonder what he'll think

of it

i'm a very friendly lion called parsley

with a tale for doing jobs of every kind

but i mustn't treat it roughly or too

harshly

for it's such a useful thing to have

behind

here what we going on what you'll be up

to

parsley will i'll be

bailey what's going on what have you

done

it's me plant food ma'am i spilt me

plant food

bless my soul it's like that

beanstalk the one that fella went up in

the story

fella called jack that's it jack and the

beanstalk say

i wonder where this one goes to you

needn't look at me basil

i'm not going up oh

uh bay leaf oh

oh my back oh army back oh

dessert in something cruel oh

what is more of a job for a lion i'd say

what a splendid idea parsley

parsley come back at once

i'm afraid it's three against one

parsley

there's a good lad

i'm a very friendly lion called parsley

i really don't like climbing things at

all

so please don't shout or speak to me too

harshly

i am sure you wouldn't want to see me

fall

well that be that i suppose we shall see

him when we see him

don't reckon he'll be back for a tidy

while

can't even see the end of it

parsley

parsley come here at once

up and no trying to escape this time

hard luck parsley and hard luck sage

i think you're in for a surprise

i'm a rather fat feathery i'll call sage

let me tell you i've never yet earned

any wage

and truthfully i've always found it was

best to sit up in the street my second

hand nest

i don't think i should look down if i

were you parsley

i think i'd just go on climbing

up and up until i reached the clouds

and then i'd push my way through

and out the other side

i say it's really rather fun just like

standing on a feather bed

nice and soft and springy

i should be careful though parsley don't

jump too high

they may look like cotton wool but if

you

firstly are you all right

for a good job the branches broke his

fall

might convert himself if they hadn't

i written you to wear this next time he

goes up

like the tin hat protect his mane if he

has another fall it will

next time he goes up protect his mane if

he has another fall

good idea bailey come on parsley

we can't hang about all day the sooner

you get it over with the

better rhubarb

that's the only word for it rhubarb

rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb

rhubarb rhubarb

poor old sage it just isn't his day

first a plant goes past his nest then

parsley now parsley with a bucket over

his head

i expect he thinks it's all a bad dream

rhubarb rhubarb

robot rhubarb rhubarb root

hello what's this a nest

a very large nest i wonder if there's

anything inside it

what's going on up there parsley

can't see anything for the blessed

clouds

parsley parsley you all right

good gracious it's an egg

bless me i've never seen one as big as

that before

careful parsley mind you don't break it

it is a monstrous great thing tis bigger

than a christmas pudding

tis more yes yes we can all see how big

it is bay leaf

the point is who's going to hatch it out

now it's down here

sh**t well we can't just leave it

standing on the path

ah tainted job for a little and if you

ask me it is too big for that

paint a job for a sparrow or a finch

it is more like a job for a uh

just more like a job for an owl

catch that me sage

get out of a nice warm nest just to sit

on that

sage can be very stubborn when he likes

if he doesn't want to do a thing he

won't do it one

two three

on the other hand when your nest is

being shaken not just by one person

but by three people and a lion it's

really much easier to give in

i'm glad to see he's brought his things

with him it may take

rather a long time that's the trouble

with eggs

the bigger they are the longer they take

sage doesn't mind if it rains

or if the sun shines he certainly

doesn't mind the dark

and even the light doesn't bother him

all the same it is taking rather a long

time

i'm a rather fat feathery i'll call sage

i've had to sit still here for simply an

age

to be truthful i'm not fond of hatching

out eggs there is so little room i get

cramp in my legs

even constable knapweed is beginning to

feel he ought to do something about

it the trouble is it's a bit

difficult to know just what to write

down

hello something's happening

sir basil lady rosemary come quickly

tis a hatchin thank goodness for that

about time if you ask me

well i'll be tis a dragon

when egg broke a small

dragon appeared

how many g's in dragon never mind how

you spell it

look at him here

that's my notebook you've destroyed my

notebook

that's a serious offense

i say steady on

i'm tarak and the dragon i'd better make

it clear

that nothing's safe when i'm about

things seem to disappear

do something basil

careful parsley that's the magic broom

the one the witch left behind remember

there there never mind don't cry

bless my soul he's put out his own

fire must have been his tears what done

it

you must come home with us we'll find a

nice box for you to sleep in

come on terrigan good boy

what a day it's been sage is going back

to his nest

i don't blame him comfortable nap wheat

is going

off to write it all down in a new

notebook

bay leaf's got some tidying up to do

parsley is busy parsley

what are you doing i don't think i

should put any plant food on your tail

it's quite big enough as it is

goodbye parsley see you again soon

watch out for dragons

you
