00:00Dougal and Florence were up rather late one day, and wondering where all the stars had

00:28gone. Do you think it's cloudy? said Florence. Well, that would be the simple explanation,

00:35said Dougal. What do you mean? said Florence. Well, you never know in this place, do you?

00:43I expect someone's switched them off. Oh, can you do that? said Florence.

00:50Can you do it? Of course you can do it. Oh, I didn't know, said Florence.

00:58The ignorance, said Dougal. Now, I didn't come here to be insulted, said Florence.

01:05Oh, hoity-toity, said Dougal. And anyway, I'm not at all sure you're right, said Florence.

01:12Have you ever known me to be wrong? said Dougal. Florence looked at him. Well, I mean about basic,

01:23well-known things like stars, said Dougal. I may have made little errors in the past about minor matters.

01:32Well, I'm only human, you know. But you're not human, said Florence. Well, well, if you're going to get

01:44personal, said Dougal, you can go and look at the stars with someone else. I shan't care. And he got

01:54all huffy. Now, there's no need to get huffy, said Florence. Who's huffy? said Dougal. I'm never huffy.

02:04I only said you weren't human, said Florence, and you get huffy. I thought we came to look at the

02:12stars, said Dougal, huffily. So they counted the stars, which had come out during the argument,

02:18and found there was still quite a lot missing. Yes, quite a lot missing, said Dougal, darkly.

02:26Someone has been tampering. So they counted them again.

02:34Hmm. I make it one short now, said Dougal. I wonder where it is, said Florence.

02:42Dylan arrived. I've found the craziest thing over there, he said. Over where, said Dougal. Over where?

02:54Hmm? Why, over there, man, said Dylan. Craziest thing you ever saw. I presume eventually he'll tell

03:03us what it is, said Dougal. But Dylan said he'd show them what it was. And it was the missing

03:12star. Come down into the garden for a change of scene. It's a bit dark here, isn't it? said the star

03:22sweetly. Well, what do you expect, said Dougal? You're supposed to be up there shining away. On strike,

03:32I suppose. It's very pretty, said Florence. Thank you, said the star. You may call me Estelle.

03:42Estelle. Estelle, said Florence. Well, it should be stellar. But I changed it, because I think Estelle is

03:51much more suitable these days, don't you? Any star who is anyone is called Estelle. I don't know what

04:01this garden's coming to, said Dougal. I really don't. Oh, you, said Florence. Listen.

04:09Oh, oh, I feel like lighting up, said the star.

04:27Back to work, I hope, said Dougal. Oh, I wish I was a star, said Florence, sighing.

04:42Oh, I wish I was a star. But I will soon. Oh, I wish I was a star. I wish I was a star.

04:52THE END
