benny

next bed

who watches tv all the time

[Music]

but hugo shakes his head and stares out

the window

right now mom will be putting on the

kettle and his little sister kathy will

be playing dress-up

and his fat cat lucy will be napping in

the sun

so hugo stares out the window listening

to the animal noises that float up from

the zoo

what a racket says nurse benny

but hugo's eyes widen because an

elephant is shrieking something special

a

message just for him

[Music]

come come home with me

shrieks the elephant so hugo puts on his

slippers

and goes he and the elephant amble

through african grasslands

where lions play rough and tumble games

and herds of wildebeest migrate across

the flames

when his family comes to visit mom asks

as usual

what have you been up to quite a lot

says hugo i went to africa

lucky you says mom

it's not fair says kathy i only went to

kindergarten

so hugo makes her a little paper

elephant with flappy ears

the next day while simon is building a

house out of cards and nirmala is still

watching tv hugo stares out the window

and listens again

[Music]

the elephant is silent but the howler

monkey is roaring

come come home with me

so hugo puts on his slippers and

goes

he and the howler monkey swing through

the treetops of the amazon jungle

where sloths sleep upside down

and the emerald tree boa hides in the

leaves

and two cans gobble berries

[Music]

when his family comes to visit mom asks

where did you go today quite

far says hugo i went to the amazon

jungle

lucky lucky you size mom

it's not fair says kathy i only went to

the corner shop

so hugo makes her a monkey puppet that

wiggles on her finger

[Music]

the next day after hugo has played cards

with simon

and watched a bit of tv with nirmala he

stares out the window

and very faintly he can hear the snow

leopard

growling

come come home

with me so hugo puts on his slippers

and goes

he wraps his arms around the snow

leopard's neck and they

hurtle through snow and ice

high in the himalayas where eagle-eyed

birds soar

above the slopes

[Music]

when his family comes to visit mom asks

been traveling again yes says hugo

i went to the himalayas kathy stamps her

foot

not fair i only went to the park

so hugo makes her a leopard mask

and she growls and shows her claws

[Music]

put on his slippers and leave for

india nurse benny says surprise

home

i wish i were going home too says

nirmala

and she watches tv harder than ever

i'll tell you both a secret says hugo

and he whispers in their ears

that night when hugo is snuggled up in

his own bed in his

own house at last

nirmala and simon put on their slippers

and run with the tiger through the

forests of india

well this is the tickle octopus and it's

written and illustrated by

audrey and don wood whoa

one morning about a million years ago

bug maw awakened with a bone in her nose

and a frown on her grumpy face

as usual she reached for ugg paw and

gave him a painful pinch

outpost sat up with a start

then he spat on the floor and fell back

to sleep

thus bup the cave boy awakened to

another

unhappy prehistoric day

bob had to do all of the chores by

himself

his older sister zerg had been carried

away by a saber-toothed tiger

his older brother hotrod had fallen into

the lair of a giant

cave bear and just yesterday

little nug bub's baby sister

vanished

and because they had lost all their

other children ugg maw and ugg paw were

determined to keep up

so before going out to hunt that day

they rolled a great

boulder in front of the cave so that the

wild animals couldn't get in

[Music]

they bellowed which meant bop stay

then they tromped away now bub hiked to

the pond at the back of the cave to

practice making

grim faces more than anything the cave

boy wanted to be just like his parents

when and if he ever grew up

but no matter how hard bub tried he

could never look as horrid as they

always did

argh he screamed a tear of frustration

rolled down his cheek and it flopped

into the pond

now the tear made an ever-widening

ripple

the pond began to froth and churn

and then out of the depths a strange new

animal emerged

the pinkish creature with wiggly arms it

didn't make a sound as it moved toward

the boy

[Music]

buck tried to run away

but the creature reached out and tickled

him under the chin

and it tickled his ribs and it tickled

his arms

the cape boy's face changed and a warm

glow

circled his heart something wondrous

began to happen

for the first time in the history of

people

someone smiled

and bob liked this new feeling he tucked

the animal into his pouch

and he squeezed past the boulder and he

went in search of his ill-tempered

parents

and before long he came upon his father

who was busy stalking

woolly mammoth

bob shouted which meant dad look what

i've got

look what i've got the cave boy shouts

frightened the timid woolly

and with a fearful bellow the mammoth

galloped away

[Music]

horrible grimace spread across a paws

angry face

a grimace so foul the two of his

teeth popped out of their sockets and

fell to the ground

the caveman reached for his son but bup

knew what to do

quickly he opened his pouch and he

released the creature

the caveman cried which meant oh no stop

stop tell me that trickles for the first

time

in the history of people

someone laughed

[Laughter]

and when ugg paul could laugh no more

bub stuffed the animal back into his

pouch

together the father and son set off to

find agma

before long they came upon the cave

woman picking berries down by the mud

slump

agma screamed when she saw her happy

family

fearing they were ill and possibly

contagious ugmod

jumped into the mud to save herself but

bup knew what to do

he opened his pouch and he released the

creature

cried which meant oh me yeah that

tickles

and i like it i like it the giggling

cave woman threw mud into the air and

slung in it

up and dug paw and for the first time in

the history of people

someone played

now when everyone was covered with mud

the creature jumped back into pub's

pouch

margwog his parents ash which meant

what is that thing and pop thought for a

minute

i eat omniga

he shouted which meant the tickle

octopus

smiling and laughing the family walked

on down the path

first they tickled the cranky tribe that

lived by the volcano

[Music]

then they tickled a scowling girl who

had tamed a saber-toothed tiger

now she turned out to be buff's older

sister zerg

and then they tickled a growling boy

wore the skin of a giant cave bear he

they discovered

was bupp's older brother hoe tried and

finally they tickled a pouting little

baby

they found beneath a banana leaf

log let me get ep noggy

they cheered which meant gnog we found

our little nuggie

bub's baby sister had simply been

misplaced

at last ugg maw of paw

zerg hotrod bup nug

and the tickle octopus returned to their

cave to celebrate

that evening everyone stayed up late

smiling and laughing and playing

[Music]

today about a million years later

times have changed people no longer live

in caves

and many of the animals that roam the

earth in the days of buff

are extinct there are no more

saber-toothed tigers

giant cave bears or woolly mammoths

and sad to say

tickle octopus is gone too

[Applause]
