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 Puppycat and the great ballgame
00:55One day Poppy and her friends were in the garden waiting for Zuzu
00:59who have promised to show them an exciting 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.
01:10Zuzu 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!
01:22Woo-hoo!
01:24What are you doing, Zuzu?
01:26This is the new game I wanted to show you, puppy.
01:30Yay!
01:32It's called keepy-uppy.
01:35All you have to do
01:39is keep the ball in the air.
01:45You're really good at that, Zuzu.
01:48Oh!
01:50You can use your hands or your feet or your chest or your...
01:53Oh, head!
01:56Oh!
01:59How many bounces was that?
02:01Was anyone counting?
02:02How many?
02:03How many?
02:04Oh, that 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.
02:19Is everyone ready?
02:20Ready!
02:21I'll give it a go.
02:25Off my head, one.
02:27I'm not sure.
02:28Three.
02:29Zuzu!
02:30That's not going to be very...
02:32Good at this!
02:34Oh!
02:42Nice kick!
02:45What are you doing?
02:47Hiya, Redfoot!
02:48We're playing keepy-uppy.
02:52Oh!
02:54Ha-ha-ha!
02:57We have to keep the ball in the air!
03:22I don't have time for games
03:24I'm much too busy on a top secret mission
03:27to find a new dented can for my collection
03:31Goodbye
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?
04:01Yes, a 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
04:12Green'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
04:27OK...
04:28As long as you don't squash me again
04:31Then we're off to the Great Green
04:35But first we're going to need...
04:39An airplane!
04:58This is Captain Poppy speaking
05:00Keep a lookout for the Great Green
05:03It's a big flat space in the middle of a far away jungle
05:08Yes, it 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
05:34Any questions?
05:36Hang on, everyone! We're going in for a landing!
05:49This is the perfect place to play Keepy Appy!
05:56OK, let's play!
05:58Al, you start!
06:00Alright, but...
06:01Alma, you start!
06:03I can't! I haven't got the ball!
06:06Have 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?
06:42Are you alright, Zuzu?
06:45I think so!
06:51Who is it that sits foot on the Great Green without Thunderclap's permission?
06:59Oh, hello, Egbert!
07:01Who's Thunderclap?
07:03Me!
07:04I am Thunderclap the Rainmaker!
07:08Egbert! Oh, um, Thunderclap!
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!
07:41And 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 plane is a rotten egg!
07:55Wait, Mo! Everyone, a rain dance sounds like fun!
07:59I've never made it rain before!
08:02Yes, let's see what this Rainmaker can do!
08:06Now, everybody has to copy me!
08:08Are you ready?
08:09Is it really going to rain?
08:12Only if you copy me exactly!
08:15Now, first you have to touch your toes, then clap, then shout Thunderclap!
08:29Thunderclap!
08:33Alright!
08:34Next!
08:36Hop up on foot!
08:38Clap!
08:39Then shout!
08:44Thunderclap!
08:45Thunderclap?
08:51Shake side to side!
08:56Thunderclap!
08:59Thunderclap!
09:03Well, I felt a raindrop. In fact, I'd 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. They're bouncy balls!
09:45Mouse Keeper, the ball in the air!
09:49Am I?
09:52I am!
09:55Oh, I am! Look at me!
09:58Oh, 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.
10:21Even 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.
10:31The end.
10:32You know what, Poppy Cat?
10:34A nap sounds like a very good idea.
10:43Poppy Cat.
10:52Poppy Cat!
10:54Poppy Cat!
