00:00When Zebedee arrived,
00:25Florence told him that she was feeling a little tired
00:30and would just like to take a short, restful walk.
00:33In the garden, said Zebedee.
00:36I think so, said Florence.
00:41Dougal was taking a walk too.
00:51Oh! A rocking chair.
00:54Just what I've always wanted.
00:56Oh, joy and delight.
00:59But Dougal's joy and delight was short-lived.
01:01Hello, said Brian.
01:03Oh, hello, said Dougal.
01:06Is that your rocking chair, he said.
01:09Yes, said Brian.
01:10Just what I've always wanted.
01:12Dougal thought very hard.
01:16What are you thinking about, old thing, said Brian.
01:18Oh, nothing.
01:20Nothing.
01:21Go on, tell me, said Brian.
01:24Go on.
01:26Oh, it's just that I was out for a walk and I saw something, said Dougal.
01:31But you wouldn't be interested.
01:33What was it, said Brian.
01:34A lettuce, said Dougal, casually.
01:37A lettuce, said Brian, eagerly.
01:40Yes, a huge lettuce.
01:42Amazing, really.
01:42Must be nearly as big as you.
01:45Amazing.
01:46Hmm.
01:47Well, goodbye.
01:51Wait, said Brian.
01:52Where is it?
01:54Oh, it's quite close, said Dougal.
01:56Why don't you go and see?
01:58It does sound very tasty, said Brian.
02:01And Dougal thought his plan to get Brian out of the chair had worked.
02:05But as he discovered, the best-laid plans of mice and dogs sometimes go wrong.
02:09Shall we go then, old lettuce hunter, said Brian?
02:14Wait there, rocking chair, said Dougal.
02:20Florence, meanwhile, had had her restful walk, and she found the rocking chair too.
02:26Oh, just what I've always wanted, she said.
02:30Good morning, good morning, said Mr. McHenry.
02:37Morning, said Florence.
02:39Is that a rocking chair, said Mr. McHenry?
02:42Yes, it is, said Florence.
02:44Just what I've always wanted, said Mr. McHenry.
02:47Haven't you got one?
02:49No.
02:51Well, said Florence, I think this one's been abandoned.
02:54Would you like it?
02:55Well, it's just what I've always wanted, said Mr. McHenry.
03:00So Florence said, have it, and he took it.
03:07Dougal, meanwhile, had managed to lose Brian and was hurrying back to his rocking chair.
03:14Hello, Dougal, said Florence.
03:16Oh, hello, Florence, said Dougal.
03:20Where is it?
03:22Where's it gone?
03:24Have you lost something, Dougal, said Florence.
03:26Uh, no, no, no, no, no, no, nothing.
03:30Have you been here long?
03:31And Florence told him she hadn't been there very long, but she'd seen Mr. McHenry and given him a rocking chair.
03:37And wait, said Dougal.
03:39A rocking chair?
03:40I fear the worst.
03:42Oh, was it yours, said Florence.
03:44In a manner of speaking, yes, said Dougal.
03:47Oh, I thought it had been abandoned, said Florence.
03:51Just that I've always wanted one, said Dougal.
03:55Oh, I'm so sorry, said Florence, but I didn't know.
03:58And she told Dougal that if he went to see Mr. McHenry, he'd be sure to let him have a rock.
04:04And Dougal thought this was a very good idea.
04:07He may have some sugar, too, he said.
04:09And he left.
04:11And Florence waited to see Zebedee to tell him all about it.
04:16A rocking chair, said Zebedee, just what I've always wanted.
04:20A rocking chair, said Zebedee, just what I've always wanted.
