00:00Mr. Rusty was worried about his chimney.

00:25It needed sweeping.

00:28He told Zebedee.

00:30Sweep it, then, said Zebedee.

00:32Yes, well, easier said than done in this day and age, said Mr. Rusty.

00:37You don't see a lot of chimney sweeps about for some reason, do you?

00:43Zebedee went to have a look.

00:48You're right, he said, and Mr. Rusty had to laugh.

00:52You look a proper caution, he said.

00:56A proper caution?

00:58And he laughed like a bucket.

01:01Don't fall off, said Zebedee coldly, trying to be dignified.

01:06Oh, I'm sorry, said Mr. Rusty.

01:09It's just that you looked a proper caution, said Zebedee, slowly.

01:15Exactly, said Mr. Rusty.

01:19And then they thought about the best way to get the chimney swept, without the sweeper being a proper caution.

01:27Florence met Dougal in the garden.

01:29What have you got there, she asked.

01:31It's my patent chimney sweeping device.

01:34Oh, I see, said Florence, going for a little walk.

01:39It's extremely clever and simple, said Dougal.

01:43Bit like me, really.

01:45What do you call it, said Florence?

01:48The hedgehog, said Dougal.

01:50And what are you going to do with it?

01:53Sweep chimneys, said Dougal.

01:56Oh, yes, said Florence.

01:59What am I going to do with it, really, muttered Dougal.

02:03You're muttering, Dougal, said Florence.

02:07They arrived.

02:08Now, where's that snail?

02:11I told him to be early.

02:13Ha!

02:13Never trust a mollusk.

02:16But Brian was on his way.

02:19Here I am, old fat friend, he said.

02:22Watch it, said Dougal, and come on.

02:26Florence wondered how it was all going to work.

02:29Won't work, said Brian.

02:31Course it will, said Mr. McHenry.

02:34Florence started things off.

02:36Now, who's going up, she said.

02:39They all blenched, especially Dougal.

02:41Well, someone's got to go, said Florence.

02:44But no one seemed very keen.

02:47Shall I go, she said.

02:49Why not, said Dougal.

02:52Oh, said Florence, and thought about it.

02:55Dogs climb ladders, said Mr. McHenry.

02:58Go on, Dougal, said Florence.

03:00No, said Dougal, so loudly they all jumped.

03:04Oh, well, said Florence.

03:06I think it's a job for a human being, said Brian.

03:09It's a two-legged job, and I haven't even got one.

03:12It's a well-known fact.

03:13Snails are legless.

03:17Mr. McHenry finally volunteered,

03:20and went up on the roof with Dougal's chimney sweeper.

03:23Careful.

03:25Could someone go inside and tell me if anything's happening,

03:32said Mr. McHenry.

03:33Nothing startling as yet, said Brian, peering.

03:39Mr. McHenry worked away, to some effect.

03:44And then, unfortunately, he dropped the sweeper,

03:47with unfortunate results.

03:50Oh, oh, was, was ever a snail so, so put upon.

03:56And Brian went home in a snaily huff.

03:59What? What?

04:03Florence giggled when she shouldn't have.

04:07What's going on, said Zebedee?

04:09I thought you were sweeping chimneys.

04:11And he went to investigate.

04:15Good night, sighed Florence.

04:17Did I do it right, said Mr. McHenry?

04:19Well, not quite, said Florence.

04:23Mr. Rusty was still worried about his chimneys.

04:26I'm worried about my chimneys, he said.

04:29They'll have to wait, said Florence.

04:32Don't forget to wash before bed, said Zebedee.

04:36Oh!

04:49Oh!

04:53Oh!
