00:00The Missing Pencil by Jeff Capel
00:09It was a cold autumn morning in the wood, and swirls of leaves were dancing to the floor.
00:22Up in his tree, Mickey Maker had woken up in a very bad mood.
00:27Click off that alarm clock for Mickey.
00:40Bother, he said. I can't find my pencil. I won't be able to do any drawing. Bother, bother, bother.
00:48Mickey loved writing and drawing and making things.
00:53Can you find Mickey's pencil for him?
00:57He'd forgotten that he'd put his pencil behind his ear to keep it safe.
01:02Oh, is it under my bed? he muttered to himself.
01:07But of course when he looked, it wasn't there.
01:09Instead, he found a hard brown acorn.
01:16Can you find another acorn?
01:18Count Hoot, the owl, was just going to bed when Mickey scampered up to him.
01:29Have you seen my pencil? he groaned.
01:33Count Hoot was just about to tell him when he thought,
01:37Let's have some fun and play a trick.
01:40What trick is the count going to play?
01:43Click on the count to find out.
01:47No, Mickey. I haven't seen your pencil.
01:52Try looking in the roots of that tree.
01:57But of course, when Mickey looked, it wasn't there.
02:00Instead, he found some round, shiny conkers.
02:06Can you find another conker?
02:14Count Hoot told all the animals in the wood about the trick
02:18so that none of them would tell Mickey where his pencil was.
02:21Digby Mole was chomping his breakfast of worms.
02:29Have you seen my pencil? sighed Mickey.
02:34Sorry, Mickey, said Digby, trying to keep a straight face.
02:38I haven't seen it anywhere.
02:40Try looking under that rock.
02:44Check under the rocks for Mickey.
02:47But of course, when Mickey looked, his pencil wasn't there.
02:51Instead, he found lots of different coloured leaves.
02:56Can you find a smooth green leaf?
03:05Next, Puzzle Snuff the Hedgehog came trotting by.
03:09Have you seen my pencil? whimpered Mickey.
03:14Afraid not, she sniggered.
03:16Try looking in that bush.
03:17And she scampered away, giggling.
03:18Check under the bushes for Mickey.
03:21Of course, when Mickey looked, his pencil wasn't there.
03:27Instead, he found a silky, black-and-white feather.
03:32Can you find a brown feather?
03:34Foxy Dancer was cleaning her paws.
03:44Have you seen my pencil? sobbed Mickey.
03:48Sorry, Mickey.
03:49No pencils round here.
03:51Check the stream.
03:53Foxy Dancer had to hold onto her snout to stop herself laughing.
03:58Do you think he'll find it there?
04:00Click on the stream to find out.
04:01Of course, when Mickey looked, his pencil wasn't there.
04:06Instead, he found a smooth, shiny stone.
04:11Can you find a rough, spiky stone?
04:14Now, Mickey was really fed up.
04:23Oh, where's my pencil?
04:27He wailed.
04:28None of the animals could stop themselves laughing.
04:32Oh, Mickey!
04:34They howled.
04:35Oh, it's behind your ear!
04:39And of course, when Mickey felt, there it was.
04:44And he went a little bit red.
04:46What do you think could make him feel better?
04:49Click on his pencil to find out.
04:51Then, Mickey remembered all the lovely things he'd found that day.
05:01The acorn, the conkers, the feathers, the leaves, and the shiny stone.
05:07These are just the thing for an autumn picture, he thought.
05:14Find something to help Mickey stick his picture together.
05:19And with his pencil still behind his ear, Mickey scampered back up his tree.
05:24Do you want to see the picture?
05:27Click on the door and ask Mickey.
05:29All the animals agreed that it was the best autumn picture they'd ever seen.
05:36And then, the other animals agreed that it was the best autumn picture they'd ever seen.
