00:42Poopycats, Poopycats
00:43I've got such an exciting story to tell you today, Poppy.
00:49I thought you'd want to hear it.
00:51I call it Poopycats and the Great Ball Game.
00:55One day, Poopy and her friends were in the garden waiting for Zuzu, who had promised to show them an
01:01exciting new game.
01:04I wonder what sort of trouble that dog has got himself into today.
01:08Oh, I don't think it's trouble, Owl. Zuzu said he had something to show us.
01:13I hope it's not muddy or dirty.
01:16I hope it's not...
01:18Bouncy!
01:20Well played, Mo!
01:22Woohoo!
01:24What are you doing, Zuzu?
01:26This is the new game I wanted to show you, Poopy.
01:30Yay!
01:31It's called Keepy Uppy.
01:35All you have to do is keep the ball in the air.
01:45You're really good at that, Zuzu.
01:48Ugh!
01:50You can use your hands or your feet or your chest or your...
01:53Ugh!
01:54Head!
01:59How many bounces was that?
02:01Was anyone counting?
02:02How many?
02:03How many?
02:04That was lots of bounces, Zuzu.
02:07It looks like a really fun game.
02:09Oh, it is!
02:10And if we all play, we can keep the ball bouncing for ages!
02:14Keeping up is why the game is called Keepy Uppy, I think.
02:18Is everyone ready?
02:20Ready!
02:21I'll give it a go.
02:25Off my head, one!
02:26I'm not sure...
02:28Three! Zuzu!
02:29That's not going to be very...
02:32Good at this!
02:33Ugh!
02:42Nice kick!
02:45What are you doing?
02:47Hiya, Redfoot!
02:48We're playing Keepy Uppy!
02:57We have to keep the ball in the air!
03:09Whoa!
03:14Whoa!
03:16Whoa!
03:17Whoa!
03:17Whoa!
03:18Whoa!
03:19Whoa!
03:21Oh!
03:21Ah!
03:22I don't have time for games.
03:25I'm much too busy on a top-secret mission
03:27to find a new dented can for my collection.
03:31Goodbye!
03:34Ugh!
03:35I always get squashed or squished or spattered or sat on.
03:40I'm just not good at these kind of games.
03:43But we can't play without you!
03:46I won't run into any more bushes, I promise!
03:49It's not your fault, Mo.
03:51There are just so many things on our way around here.
03:54What we need is a wide open space.
03:57What we need is a wide open space?
04:00Ahem.
04:01Yes.
04:01A big playing field perfect for ball games.
04:04Perfect for ball games?
04:07I know just the place.
04:09It's called the Great Green.
04:11Green's my favourite colour for adventures.
04:14Can we go there right away, Poppy?
04:16If you'd like.
04:19Don't worry, Mo.
04:20I'll teach you the best ways to keep the ball in the air
04:23and there won't be anything for me to run into.
04:26OK.
04:28As long as you don't squash me again.
04:32Then we're off to the Great Green.
04:35But first we're going to need...
04:39An air plane!
04:57This is Captain Poppy speaking.
05:00Keep a look out for the Great Green.
05:03It's a big flat space in the middle of a far away jungle.
05:08Yes.
05:09It is there that...
05:10This is going to be fantastic, Mo!
05:13Quite.
05:14Now, it is there that many of the great ball games were first...
05:17Just remember.
05:18Hand, foot, chest, head.
05:21None of those sound good to me.
05:23As I was saying...
05:25Is that it?
05:26It looks huge!
05:31Yes, that's the Great Green where Keepy Appy was first played many, many years ago.
05:35Any questions?
05:36Hang on, everyone.
05:38We're going in for a landing.
05:48This is the perfect place to play Keepy Appy.
05:56OK, let's play.
05:58Al, you start.
06:00All right, but, um...
06:02Alma, you start.
06:03I can't.
06:04I haven't got the ball.
06:05Have you got it, Mo?
06:07Of course I don't.
06:10No!
06:11We must have left it behind.
06:14What?
06:15What about the game?
06:17We can't play without a ball.
06:20This grass is really nice.
06:23Maybe we could have a picnic instead.
06:26But we didn't bring any food.
06:28Hang on!
06:31Oh, I don't like the look of this.
06:35A coconut will do, won't it?
06:39Ow!
06:41Ow!
06:42Oh, are you all right, Zuzu?
06:45I think so.
06:51Who is it that sits foot on the great green without Thunderclap's permission?
06:59Hello, Egbert.
07:01Who's Thunderclap?
07:03Me.
07:04I am Thunderclap the Rainmaker.
07:08Egbert...
07:09Oh, um...
07:09Thunderclap.
07:10We're very pleased to see you.
07:13We've come to play Keepy Uppy, but we forgot our ball.
07:17Do you have one we could borrow?
07:19Puppycat, of course I have a ball.
07:22I am Thunderclap.
07:24But if you were planning to play on the great green, you must have forgotten the rule.
07:29The rule?
07:31Yes, the rule.
07:33The one that says that before anyone can play here, they must join in Thunderclap's rain dance.
07:38But if you do a rain dance, it will rain. And we don't want to play in the rain.
07:44You could either play with a ball in the rain or not play at all.
07:49That is what I offer.
07:51Last one to the plan is a rotten egg.
07:55Wait, Mo.
07:56Everyone, a rain dance sounds like fun. I've never made it rain before.
08:02Yes, let's see what this Rainmaker can do.
08:05Now, everybody has to copy me. Are you ready?
08:10Is it really going to rain?
08:12Only if you copy me exactly.
08:15Now, first you have to touch your toes.
08:19Then, then clap.
08:22Then...
08:23Shout Thunderclap!
08:29Thunderclap!
08:30Thunderclap.
08:33All right.
08:35Next, hop on my foot.
08:38Clap.
08:38Then shout.
08:43Thunderclap!
08:45Thunderclap?
08:50Shake side to side!
08:56Thunderclap!
08:58Thunderclap!
09:03Thunderclap!
09:04Well, I felt a raindrop.
09:06In fact, I better go get my umbrella right now. Bye!
09:11But Thunderclap, what about giving us a ball?
09:17Forget it, Poppy. We might as well go home.
09:33Hey, what kind of rain is this?
09:39It's not rain
09:41They're bouncy balls
09:45Mouse keeping them all in the air
09:48Oh, am I?
09:50Oh, I am
09:55Oh, I am, look at me
09:57Oh, you're doing great, Mo
10:02Come on, everyone, let's play
10:10With so many balls to bounce, they stayed on the great green
10:14Playing keepy-uppy until it was time to go back to the garden
10:18Where Mo wanted to carry on playing
10:20Even though there were lots of things like trees and bushes that he might run into
10:26Poppy said they could play tomorrow and Mo couldn't wait
10:30The end
10:32You know what, Poppy Cat?
10:34A nap sounds like a very good idea
10:43Poppy Cat!
10:53Poppy Cat!
10:54Poppy Cat!
10:56Poppy Cat!
