00:00Mr. Rusty was having trouble with his roundabout and a high wind, which had made repairs necessary.
00:30But at the same time, very difficult to carry out.
00:35Florence wondered what the matter was.
00:38It's this wind, shouted Mr. Rusty.
00:42Nearly blown the roof off the roundabout.
00:44I'm trying to mend it.
00:47Oh, do be careful, said Florence.
00:51Zebedee arrived.
00:53High wind, he said.
00:55Yes, said Florence.
00:58I'd have difficulty keeping my feet if I had any, said Zebedee.
01:02Better go and look into it.
01:04Yes, all right, said Florence.
01:11Dougal was having trouble too.
01:13Hello, Dougal, said Florence.
01:16I washed my hair last night, said Dougal.
01:19And now look at it.
01:20Just look at it.
01:21Ruined.
01:22Ruined.
01:23Ruined.
01:24Wind's playing havoc with my tulips, said Mr. McHenry.
01:27Oh, bad luck, said Florence.
01:30Tulips.
01:31What about my barnet?
01:34Mr. McHenry tested the direction of the wind.
01:37West, said Florence.
01:39Right, said Mr. McHenry.
01:40Then go and stop it, said Dougal.
01:43Right, said Mr. McHenry.
01:46Can you, said Florence?
01:49Well, I can try, said Mr. McHenry.
01:53I'd be eternally grateful, said Dougal, because if this goes on much longer, I'll have to
01:58put on an extra vest, not to mention what it's doing to my well-known and lovely locks.
02:03Oh, I feel so humiliated, humiliated.
02:10Mr. McHenry told them not to worry.
02:12He'd found the trouble.
02:16It was a weathervane new to the job, and a little uncertain of its duties.
02:33Try and get it right, said Mr. McHenry.
02:41Yes, try and get it right, said Dougal.
02:44I'm sure it's doing its best, said Florence.
02:47Well, that's as maybe, said Dougal.
02:50But what about my hair?
02:53The weathervane tried and tried to control the wind.
02:57It's no good, it said.
02:59I'm a failure.
03:02No, don't say that, said Florence.
03:04Yes, you can say that, said Dougal.
03:06As a weathervane, you are a hopeless failure.
03:10You should take more lessons.
03:13Well, I'm very new at it, you see, said the weathervane.
03:16And as I look a bit like a chimney, the winds won't take any notice of me.
03:21It's all very, very trying.
03:26But I am doing my best.
03:28Florence felt very sorry for it.
03:35You see, I might order a nice south wind to blow, said the weathervane.
03:40But it'll just laugh at me and go off to Africa or somewhere.
03:45Well, it's not in Africa now, said Dougal.
03:50The weathervane lost control completely.
03:59What can we do, said Florence?
04:02I'll get better at it, said the weathervane.
04:04I'm sure I will.
04:05Well, you could hardly be worse, said Dougal.
04:09Florence decided the weathervane should have a prize for effort, at least.
04:13Thank you, said the weathervane.
04:15I know I'll improve.
04:17We're sure you will, said Florence.
04:20We're absolutely sure.
04:23Speak for yourself, smarty boots, said Dougal.
04:26Have a word with Bert Ford.
04:28He's got problems, too.
04:30Who's Bert Ford, said Florence?
04:32Oh, don't you know anything, said Dougal.
04:35I'll keep trying, said the weathervane.
04:37You try me, said Dougal.
