00:28Rhubarb was chuntering about
00:29down the garden one day with nothing much on his mind as usual. When the sun came out and was
00:35busy
00:36brightening up the day as Rhubarb noticed from the corner of his eye that he was being followed
00:41by a silent sneak. There's only one thing to do in a situation like this growled Rhubarb and he nipped
00:49behind a tree to wait. Waited and was still waiting when he nearly jumped out of his fur as something
00:55tapped him on the shoulder. Hello said the shape. Am I who you're waiting for? Well as a matter of
01:04fact
01:04you are squeaked Rhubarb. What do you mean by following me? He went on in a slightly more growly
01:10way. Haven't you anything better to do than go about following fierce dogs? Well no as a matter
01:15of fact I haven't sighed the shape. You see I was wondering if you could help me. I've been out
01:20of
01:20work all winter and really do need a job. What do you do? shrugged Rhubarb. I'm a shadow said the
01:28shape. Well everyone's got one of those explained Rhubarb. You'd have to be something else. But I'm a
01:34shadow boxer said the shadow. Oh nice said Rhubarb. Well why didn't you say so earlier?
01:44Roll up! Roll up! shouted Rhubarb at the top of his bark as he stepped from the shed followed by
01:49his
01:50new friend. Come on now folks. My shadow friend here will take on anyone else's shadow in a boxing
01:57match of not more than three rounds. Knock him out and win a prize. Come on now folks. Roll up!
02:02Roll up!
02:03Who's going to be the first? shouted Rhubarb. Some of the bigger birds came forward and said their
02:09shadows would have a go. Custard pushed his way to the front and said that his shadow would bash the
02:14living daylights out of Rhubarb's boxer friend. Done! said Rhubarb. Shadow Boxer went into the ring
02:21and was all ready for a fair fight when out of Custard's corner a monster shadow who'd been
02:26especially bribed by Custard stepped forward and began to cheat right away.
02:32Oh! cried everyone. It's unfair. And just as Custard's monster was about to throttle poor little
02:39shadow boxer Cloud came along and hid the sun right on time.
02:47Scared eh? snarled Custard standing on top of the fence making a nuisance of himself.
02:55I'll take you on meself. He went on. Come out. Come out. Wherever you are.
03:05Two can play at cheating said Rhubarb in a smart sort of way and nipped off to see a friend
03:10of his whilst Custard was still boasting.
03:23Okay Cloud. Let's begin round two. shouted Rhubarb. Come on then. Let's get on with it. I want me prize.
03:30shouted Custard.
03:32Cloud moved and Custard jumped into the ring. Who's next? He scoffed.
03:39Oh, who can beat Custard when he's such a big cheat? squeaked everyone. Cobber can. Grinned Rhubarb.
03:48Ha! shrugged Custard. Who's ever heard of anyone called Cobber?
03:52I have. I have. chuckled Rhubarb. Cobbered a kangaroo.
03:57C'day Pink. growled Rhubarb's big friend.
04:01And clobbered Custard round and round the ring.
04:04Chrisong him.
04:20Healgćć Jack Queen.
04:22He apart from it.
04:26Robbered Jack.
04:27You
