Speaker 1 (00:05):
One day a little boy
named Judah was sitting at home
with his dog, scruffles.
Now, judah and Scruffles hadbeen playing fetch and now he'd
brought Judah inside so that hecould give her a bone.
As Judah picked up the bone togive to Scruffles, all of a
sudden something very strangebegan to happen.
Ring, ring, ring, ring.
Um, is this bone ringing,thought Judah.
(00:28):
He put it to the side of hishead, feeling very strange.
Um, hello, he said hey, is thatJudah?
He heard from the other end ofthe bone.
Uh, yes, who's this?
It's me, teddy Winkle.
I need your help.
Really, said Judah.
Yeah, I'm in a bit of trouble,and do you think you could come?
And you probably need someoneto help you as well.
(00:50):
Maybe have you got a dog oranything?
I do, said Judah, I've got adog named Scruffles.
Yeah, bring Scruffles, bringher where, said Judah.
Well, when you put down thisbone, a little teleporting
portal is going to open up andthat should bring you right to
me.
Really, said Judah.
Really said Teddy Winkle, allright, quick, I really need your
(01:12):
help.
I'll see you soon.
Okay, bye, said Teddy Winkle.
And Judah hung up the bone.
As he put it down on the ground, he was very confused about
what had just happened.
But sure enough, as it touchedthe ground, all of a sudden in
front of him opened up a shining, shimmering portal.
He looked at Scruffles.
Okay, scruffles, can you comewith me?
(01:34):
We need to go help Teddy Winkle.
Scruffles nodded her head, andso Judah and Scruffles walked
through the portal.
As they appeared on the otherside, they could see Teddy
Winkle, but Teddy Winkle was alltangled in some kind of plant.
Teddy Winkle, are you okay,called out Judah.
Yeah, I'm just, I'm just alittle bit stuck.
(01:55):
Can you, can you come help?
Okay, said Judah, we're coming,said Scruffles.
Scruffles said Judah, you're,you're talking?
Yeah, all dogs can talk, saidTeddy Winkle, but Scruffles has
never.
You're you're talking?
Yeah, all dogs can talk, saidTeddy Winkle, but Scruffles has
never talked before.
Oh, yeah, you probably justnever bought it somewhere.
That's kind of magical and funlike this.
Oh, that's, that's amazing.
Hi, scruffles, said Judah,hello, Judah, said Scruffles.
(02:18):
And so Judah and Scruffles wentover to Teddy Winkle.
There he was.
There was some kind of strangeplant that seemed to be growing
very quickly and tangling him,teddy Winkle.
What happened?
Well, I found these funnylooking seeds and I decided to
plant them in my garden, butinstead of growing normal, it
grow really quick.
And then it tried to capture me.
Oh dear, how are we going tostop it?
(02:40):
Um, I think you might need tochop them down With what?
Don't worry, said Scruffles, Ican probably chew it down.
So Scruffles bent down andstarted chewing on the plants.
It was very funny.
As Scruffles kind of nibbledthe plants, kept trying to
tickle her so that she'd stopchewing.
I can help too, said Judah.
He raced over and he started totry to pull them out with his
(03:03):
hands.
As they started to pull, all ofa sudden the plants seemed to
realise what they were doing andall the bits of the plant
started coming down towards them.
Ah, said Judah, don't worry,said Scruffles as she jumped up
and did a big growly face at theplant.
Grr, she said.
And the plant stopped andlooked at her.
It seems to be listening, saidJudah, maybe, maybe we don't
(03:26):
need to chop it down.
Ah, scruffles, do you think youcan talk to the plant?
I can try, said Scruffles.
Scruffles looked at the plant.
Excuse me, plant.
All of a sudden all the bits ofthe plant were looking at
Scruffles, can you please leaveTeddy Winkle alone?
The plant seemed to shake itshead.
What, why not?
The plant looked at TeddyWinkle and then pointed back at
(03:48):
Scruffles.
Then looked at Teddy Winkle yes, he is a teddy bear, but he's
not your teddy bear.
You need to give him back.
The plant looked a little bitsad, but then it let go.
What did it say?
Said Teddy Winkle?
Well, said Scruffles.
It said that it was feeling alittle bit lonely and it needed
someone to look after it.
But it doesn't have a teddybear.
Oh well, maybe we need to findsome kind of cuddly teddy bear
(04:11):
for this new plant.
That sounds like a good idea,said Judah.
That's a great idea, saidScruffles.
Let's do it.
Well, I guess we could take himto the teddy bear toy shop.
The teddy bear toy shop, saidJudah.
What, where's that?
Follow me?
Said Teddy Winkle.
As he walked around the side ofhis garden, he picked up the
garden hose and then put it intoa circle.
(04:31):
What are you doing, said Judah.
I'm making a new teleportingportal, said Teddy Winkle.
Hang on, can you turn on thetap?
Uh, okay, said Judah.
So Judah turned on the tap and,as he did, the hose filled with
water and started spraying, andit sprayed into the middle of
the circle that Teddy Winkle hadmade and, sure enough, it
turned into a shimmering waterlooking thing.
(04:52):
All right, let's jump in, comeon.
Teddy Winkle jumped in throughthe portal, and so Judah and
Scruffles followed behind asthey appeared on the other side.
They were in some kind ofstrange village.
There was old looking housesthat all looked very fun because
their walls weren't quitestraight and their roofs weren't
quite normal.
Everything seemed to be alittle bit wonky and a little
(05:13):
bit sideways, but very, verybright and very happy.
There was colours everywhere.
Right over to this one saidTeddy Winkle.
Ok, said Judah.
So Judah and Scruffles followedTeddy Winkle as they walked over
to the most funny-looking shopin the entire village.
As they walked through the doorinside, there was teddy bears
everywhere.
Teddy bears of every shape andcolour and fuzziness were all
(05:36):
over the place, and working atthe front desk was a man with
glasses on.
Oh, hello, teddy wrinkle.
Hello, Mr Teddy Bear Maker.
Um, I have a friend that needs anew teddy bear.
Uh, okay, well, describe to methis friend.
What do they like?
Well, they're green and they'regrabby and they grow very fast.
(05:58):
That sounds like a very strangechild, said the teddy bear
maker.
Well, they're not a child,they're actually a plant.
What Said the teddy bear maker?
I know, said Judah, it soundsvery strange.
Yes, said Scruffles.
But this plant is very lonelyand wanted a friend.
It tried to take Teddy Winkle.
Oh dear, said the teddy bearmaker, we best make it a brand
(06:20):
new teddy bear of its own.
Do you think that you couldhelp me?
Um sure, said Judah.
Come, let's do it, said theteddy bear maker.
So he took Teddy Winkle andJudah and Scruffles out to the
back of his workshop.
There there was all kinds ofmaterials and stuffings and
buttons and everything you couldpossibly need to make a brand
new teddy bear.
(06:41):
Okay, judah, first of all weneed to make it very personal.
Now he liked Teddy Winkles, somaybe we could use a little bit
of Teddy Winkles fur to helpcreate the new fur for our new
teddy bear.
Is that okay, teddy Winkle?
I guess so, said Teddy Winkle.
Will it hurt?
Um, hold still, said the teddybear maker, and he grabbed a
(07:01):
tiny bit of Teddy Winkle's furand pulled it out.
Yow, said Teddy Winkle, thathurt?
Oh, yes, it does tickle alittle bit, but it will be fine.
Hang on, here you go, judah.
He handed Judah the tiny bit ofTeddy Winkle's fur.
All right, put it into thatmachine over there.
(07:21):
Okay, said Judah.
So he put the tiny bit of TeddyWinkle's fur into the machine
over in the corner and in notime at all it had produced a
new teddy bear shaped piece ofmaterial.
Fantastic.
Now we will need something tofill him with.
Make sure we've got some goodstuffing.
Oh, scruffles, you look verycuddly.
Do you think we could borrowsome of your fur to use as
stuffing for our brand new teddybear?
Um sure, said Scruffles, hangon.
(07:45):
Now he's going to pull out someof your fur.
No, that would be very unkind.
I've got a very specialhairbrush.
And so the teddy bear maker gavethe hairbrush to Judah special
hairbrush.
And so the teddy bear makergave the hairbrush to Judah.
Just give scruffles a goodbrush, he said.
Okay, said Judah.
So he brushed scruffles a fewtimes and the brush got filled
with scruffles, curly fur.
Perfect, said the man.
(08:06):
Now we need to turn that intoteddy bear fluff.
So, judah, here you go, pull itall off.
Judah pulled all the fur off thebrush.
All right, now put it into thispot.
So he put it inside the potthat the teddy bear maker had
handed him.
Now we need to heat it.
Take it over to the fire andmake sure that you only heat it
a little bit.
Okay, said Judah.
He hung the pot over the fireand watched.
(08:29):
The pot seemed to change colour.
At first it was red and then itturned orange, and then it went
green.
Green means go, said the teddybear maker, take it off.
So Judah used the special tongsto lift the pot back out from
the fire.
As he did, they opened the topand it was full of stuffing.
Fantastic, said the man, fillit up.
So they took the stuffing andthey filled the new teddy bear
(08:52):
that they had made.
Now it just needs some buttonsfor the eyes and a very special
nose.
Um, hmm, he looked carefully.
Judah, your shirt has buttons.
May we borrow some of those?
Of course, said Judah.
So they took buttons fromJudah's shirt and put it on the
new teddy bear.
When they had finished, theyall looked.
It's fantastic, said Judah.
(09:12):
Spectacular, said Scruffles.
Ah, I think I'm more handsome,said Teddy Winkle having a.
All right, we better take itback to the plant.
Okay, thanks very much, mrTeddy Bear Maker.
You're welcome.
Come back anytime.
Thank you, yelled Judah.
Yeah, thanks, yelled TeddyWinkle.
See you later, said Scruffles.
(09:32):
So Teddy Winkle grabbed a pieceof string from the Teddy Bear
Maker's workshop and put it intoa circle.
Then he waved his hands overthe top and it turned into a
portal.
Jump through, kiddos, let's go.
So Teddy Winkle, scruffles andJudah all jumped back through.
And when they got back to theother side, something was not
quite right.
(09:53):
The plant had continued to grow.
It's taken over my whole house.
Oh no, said Teddy Winkle.
We're too late.
I don't think so, said Judah.
I think we can do it.
Yes, said Teddy Winkle, we'retoo late.
I don't think so, said Judah.
I think we can do it.
Yes, said Scruffles, wedefinitely can.
So Judah walked over with thebrand new teddy bear Excuse me
plant.
The plant all stopped and seemedto look at Judah, we brought
(10:16):
you something.
All the ends of the plantseemed to look at the brand new
teddy bear.
They all approached and circledaround it.
Then the plant got smaller andsmaller and smaller and it
shrunk down to the size of abeautiful plant.
Then two leafy branches reachedaround and cuddled the teddy
bear and with that the plantlooked extremely happy.
(10:38):
My house, it's saved, saidTeddy Winkle.
And that is a beautiful plantto have in your front garden.
Yes, it is, said Scruffles.
Look, they looked, and it wasthe happiest-looking plant that
any of them had ever seen.
Oh, thank you, judah, I thoughtI was in big trouble there.
You have saved the day andyou've given someone a brand new
(11:00):
teddy bear, because teddy bearsare the best thing in the whole
entire world.
Well, they are lots of fun,said Judah.
Right, you kids better begetting home.
Do you want to take the funportal home, the fun portal?
All of a sudden, as they weretalking, they realized that the
plant was starting to grow again.
Oh, it's taking over again.
Hang on.
(11:20):
The plant made a circle out ofits branches and then Teddy
Winkle realized what it wasdoing.
The plant made a circle out ofits branches and then Teddy
Winkle realised what it wasdoing.
The plant wants to send youhome through a portal.
Alright, planty, let's do this.
Teddy Winkle grabbed the gardenhose and watered the plant.
It seemed to love the water andas it was getting watered, a
portal appeared in the circlethat the plant had made.
(11:42):
Right, kids, off you go.
Thanks, teddy Winkle.
Said Judah, we'll see you nexttime, said Scruffles as they
jumped through the portal andwaved goodbye.
It closed behind them.
They arrived back in Judah'shouse and walked back into
Judah's bedroom.
Wow, scruffles, that wasamazing.
Scruffles looked at him andsmiled oh, I forgot, you won't
(12:12):
