Speaker 1 (00:05):
One day three little
girls named Elise, mary and
Charlotte were all outside.
Now they were trying to thinkof a game to play because they'd
been playing a few differentones when all of a sudden Elise
noticed something.
What's that chest over there?
Oh, that's strange, said Mary.
Let's go look.
The girls went over and therewas some kind of strange little
(00:27):
treasure chest.
They decided that they wouldopen it.
As they opened it up, insidewas a pair of gloves.
They were white and they werevery plain.
What are these, do you think?
Said Charlotte.
I have no idea, said Mary,should we put them on?
Said Elise.
Um, okay, I'll try.
First, said Charlotte, she putthe gloves on.
(00:49):
I wonder why these were in atreasure chest.
Charlotte looked at her hands.
It was very strange.
They feel kind of tingly inside.
Ha, this is very strange.
Hey, let's do a high five, saidCharlotte.
Okay, said Mary.
So Mary put up her hand andCharlotte and Mary high-fived.
And that's when things gotreally strange.
(01:12):
All of a sudden, mary started tochange.
She changed from a normal girlinto I'm an elephant, said Mary.
What, said Elise?
That's, it must be the gloves.
Yeah, said Charlotte.
Um, do you want to try, elise?
Okay, so Charlotte and Elisedid another high five.
(01:32):
As they did, elise started tochange.
She started changing and, asshe did, she turned into a deer.
Look, I can run and jump around.
She said that's funny, saidMary, waving her trunk around.
All right, but how are you guysgoing to tag me?
Put it on my trunk, said Mary.
Okay, said Charlotte.
(01:53):
So Charlotte put the glove onMary's trunk and Mary tapped
Charlotte on the head as she did.
Charlotte started to change aswell.
She changed into a cheetah.
Whoa, she said.
This is amazing.
I wonder how fast I can run.
She started running and, as shedid, whoa, you're so quick,
(02:17):
said Elise.
This is the best, said thegirls, as they were playing as
their new animal selves.
Another animal came racing over.
Um, hello.
The girls looked down and therewas a little chipmunk.
Hi, they said.
Who are you?
My name's Chippy Chipmunk, saidChippy.
Oh, hi, said the girls.
Uh, I see those gloves thatyou're using, miss Elephant, and
(02:40):
I've just been watching.
It looks like lots of fun.
Uh, it is lots of fun, and so Ithink that I might need to
borrow them.
What the girls said?
In no time at all, chippy thechipmunk jumped up on Mary and
grabbed the glove off her trunk.
Then she grabbed the otherglove that was still on the
ground and put them on.
Okay, thank you, I'll see yousoon.
Okay, bye.
(03:06):
Okay, said Chippy chipmunk, asshe started racing off away from
the girls.
Um, do you think that this isokay?
Said Elise.
I'm not sure what just happened.
I'm a gorilla.
Uh-oh, said the girls.
They looked and there wasChippy Chipmunk running around
trying to tag as many people asshe could.
Oh dear, said the girls, webetter catch her.
So the girls started racing offafter Chippy Chipmunk as they
(03:29):
started trying to run.
It was very strange having ananimal body, but they were
trying their best to do whatthey could.
As they ran along, they couldsee Chippy up in the distance.
Okay, I think, excuse me, lady,said Chippy, a lady walking a
pram was walking down the streetnext to her.
High five, okay, said the lady.
(03:49):
As she stuck out her hand,chippy started to giggle and as
she high fived the lady, I'm aduck, said the lady.
Okay, let's go, said Chippy.
Chippy started running inanother direction.
How are we going to catch her?
Said the girls.
As she was running, the girlsrealised that Chippy had dropped
one of the gloves.
Oh dear, I'm going to get.
(04:10):
She started racing back.
But Charlotte ran as quick asshe could to catch the glove off
the ground.
When Chippy saw her coming, shestarted to run even faster.
Ah, said Chippy, and ran theother way and ducked underneath
a fence and kept running.
As Charlotte picked up the glove, she had an idea.
Well, if we're going to try andcatch Chippy, maybe we should
(04:32):
try and turn ourselves into somefaster animals.
I'm already really fast as acheetah, but Mary, I don't think
an elephant is probably thebest thing for trying to catch a
cheeky little chipmunk.
I don't think so either, saidMary.
Try and tag me.
So Charlotte put on the glovesand tagged Mary as she did.
Mary started to transform andshe changed and changed into I'm
(04:58):
a magpie.
She said.
That might work, said Charlotte, yeah, I might stay as a deer
for a bit, but hang on to thatglove.
Okay, said Charlotte.
Elise and Charlotte startedrunning off in the direction of
Chippy and Mary took to theskies to be able to see what was
going on.
As Mary was flying, she couldsee Chippy the chipmunk running
(05:19):
and causing lots of trouble.
Quick girls, we better hurry upChippy's heading towards the
playground.
Uh-oh, they said.
So they started to run as quickas they could, but by the time
they got to the playground therewas already lots of trouble.
Hey kids, come to me.
I'm Chippy the chipmunk and Iwant to give everybody a high
five.
(05:39):
Oh dear, said Charlotte.
Quick, somebody, stop her.
They started racing towardsChippy, but Chippy was very
quick and very sneaky.
First Chippy gave a high fiveto the little boy on the swing
and he turned into a littlehippopotamus.
Woohoo, said the boy.
Oh, look, this is fun, said thekid.
Then Chippy went over toanother kid who was coming down
(05:59):
the slide and tagged them, andthey turned into a guinea pig.
Squeak, said the kid.
What just happened?
The kids were starting to laughand giggle as Chippy was racing
around, tagging more and morepeople.
In no time at all, elise, maryand Charlotte came swooping in
to try and catch Chippy.
You'll never catch me, saidChippy as she raced up to the
(06:20):
top of the slide.
Charlotte raced up along theplayground as well, trying her
best to get after Chippy.
As she got to the top of theslide, chippy slid down and
Charlotte dove down after her.
But Charlotte jumped too far.
Chippy stopped and taggedCharlotte on the tummy as she
did, charlotte turned into asloth.
(06:41):
No, said Charlotte, I'm so slow.
Quick, girls, come and try andtag me.
Charlotte's glove had fallen tothe ground and Chippy was racing
towards it.
I'm going to get the two glovesand you can't stop me.
But Mary swooped down from thesky and picked up the glove in
her beak.
Then she flipped it over toElise, who put it on one of her
(07:04):
front legs and carefully taggedCharlotte once again.
Oh dear, said Charlotte.
Oh, very dear, said Elise.
Charlotte turned into a fish.
Quick, tap me again, she said,flipping around on the ground.
Sorry, said Elise, I'll tryagain.
She tagged Charlotte once moreand Charlotte turned into a hare
(07:25):
.
That's faster.
Uh-oh, said Chippy.
Um, I don't think that youshould try and catch me.
I'm going to try somethingdifferent too, said Elise.
Ah, charlotte, can you tag me?
Okay.
So Charlotte put on the gloveand tagged Elise, and Elise
turned into a cat.
This is gonna work.
All right, let's catch Chippy.
(07:45):
Oh dear, said Chippy.
Run.
Chippy started running all overthe playground as quick as she
could and the girls were dancingaround chasing after her.
They cornered her rightunderneath one of the slides.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, I'mgonna get you, said Chippy.
As she tried to stretch out herglove as she did, mary swooped
down and pulled the glove offChippy's hand.
(08:07):
Oh dear, said Chippy, I gottaget out of here, run.
Chippy tried to run away, butElise picked up Chippy in her
mouth and held her still.
Put me down, put me down.
Hey, put me down please.
Now Chippy said Charlotte,you've caused lots of trouble
with these gloves, I know,wasn't it so much fun?
(08:28):
We should do this again.
Okay, so you give me the glovesand I'll go tag everybody one
more time.
No, chippy, you can't tag morepeople.
We need to work out how to turnthem back into normal people.
Um, I think that boy's momactually wanted the hippopotamus
boy.
I don't think she did, saidMary.
Oh, said Chippy.
Well, I guess we could use theother gloves.
The other gloves.
(08:49):
What do you mean?
The other gloves?
You know they always come inpairs.
There's the changing gloves andthen there's the normal gloves.
Where are the normal gloves?
Said Elise.
Well, did you check thetreasure chest for the other
pair?
Um, no, said the girls.
I'll go look, said Mary.
So Mary flew off all the wayback home and landed on the
ground as she looked inside thetreasure chest, sure enough
(09:12):
there was another set of gloves.
She carefully picked them upand flew back towards the other
kids.
I've got them.
She said All right, let's puton one each.
Okay, all right, elise, you puton one, and Charlotte you can
put on the other, or actually Imight turn you back into kids.
First, mary flew down and tappedthe girls on the head and they
(09:34):
turned back into normal kids.
Okay, said Chippy.
So you guys have those ones andI'll have the changey ones, and
we'll have a competition to seeif I can turn more people into
animals than you can put back tonormal.
No, said the girls, chippy, I'mgoing to turn you back into
whatever you are as well, I betyou, you've been using the
changing gloves.
So Charlotte put on one of thegloves and tapped Chippy, who
(09:56):
stayed as a chipmunk.
I always been a chipmunk, saidChippy, you can't change me.
The girls giggled All right,chippy, please, no more changing
.
We need to put people back tonormal.
Okay, said Chippy, I'll justplay the game.
I'll get all the kids in andyou can do the tappy.
Okay, said the girls.
So Chippy climbed to the top ofthe slide.
(10:16):
Okay, every little girl and boywho is a hippopotamus or an
animal or something else.
Please come over here becauseit's feeding time.
I think the kids all wanderedover.
What is that chipmunk talkingabout?
I like being a hippopotamus, oh, dear.
Well, everybody, come over here, said the girls.
And as they did, the girls wentaround and tapped all the animal
(10:37):
kids on the head and theyturned back to normal.
Oh, oh dear, thank goodness,said their parents.
The girls laughed as Chippystarted running around in
circles.
This has been so much fun, thishas been the fun.
Okay, said their parents.
The girls laughed as Chippystarted running around in
circles.
This has been so much fun, thishas been the fun.
Okay, let's go, let's playanother game.
Can we find some more glovesthat do something else?
Maybe let's go looking.
Oh dear, said the girls.
(10:57):
Not today, chippy, not today.
Oh, okay.
So with that, mary swooped backdown and the girls tapped Mary
as well and she turned back intoa normal girl.
Okay, everybody, this has beenlots of fun.
I really like playing games likethis, but maybe we could play
one more game.
What game's that?
Said Elise, do you just want toplay normal tag?
(11:17):
Okay, said the girls, that'llbe fun.
And so the girls decided toplay a big game of tag.
Lots of other kids joined in aswell, but fastest of all was
Chippy the chipmunk, who likedracing around between people's
legs.
Tag, you're it, tag you're it.
Tag you're it, chippy.
You're not even it anymore, Iknow, but I just like doing the
tagging.
(11:40):
The girls had so much fun, andthe other kids did too, but now
it was time for them to all headback home.
As the girls slowly walked backhome, chippy sat on Elise's
shoulder.
Um, thank you very much forplaying with me today.
I've had lots and lots of fun.
We had a lot of fun too, saidthe girls.
Okay, I better get going.

Okay, see you.
Bye, said Chippy as she jumpedoff Elise's shoulder and ran off
into the park.
Bye, chippy, called out thegirls as they walked back
towards their front door.
Their mum was standing andwaiting.
Hey, girls, have you had fun?
What have you been up to?
She said.
Well, said Mary, I don't thinkyou'd believe us, even if we

The end of the story.
This episode is brought to youby Chippy.

If you've got friends that youwant to turn into animals.
You should get a pair of mygloves, because then that kid
that roars all the time, you canturn him into a lion, and the
(12:43):
kid that likes to jump in bigpuddles and do big splashes, you
could turn him into ahippopotamus or a rhinoceros,
and then his splashes could bereally, really big.
Wouldn't that be fun?
