00:00Lawrence told Mr. Rusty that she felt energetic, and Mr. Rusty said he thought that was a very
00:29good way to feel, in moderation of course. But it's a long time since I felt energetic, he said.
00:36Very long time. Oh, said Florence. But I was very good at the hop, skip and jump in me youth,
00:44said Mr. Rusty. Very good indeed. I'd like to have seen that, said Florence. It was a sight I can tell
00:53you, said Mr. Rusty. A rare sight. People came for miles to see me do the hop, skip and jump.
01:00A rare old sight. Don't you do it anymore, said Florence. Not a lot, said Mr. Rusty.
01:08Zebedee arrived. Everyone feeling energetic, he said, because there are great goings on in the garden.
01:15Hmm? Right, everyone here, said Dougal. Then I'll begin. Today, as you know, is the day of the great
01:25race. I didn't know, said Florence. You're not the only one, dear heart, said Omintrude. Well,
01:33I know, said Brian, and I am the very popular captain of my team, which consists of one snail,
01:39one rabbit, and one cow. It is a race against the clock. One lap of the track, and no using bicycles.
01:47All right. Everyone understand? Dougal set the clock. We each have to carry something, said Brian.
01:58Perhaps someone would care to carry me, said Omintrude. I'm quite light. Now stop messing about,
02:05said Dougal. Sorry, dear thing, said Omintrude. Who's going to start, said Brian. I will,
02:13said Florence. Go on then, said Brian. And Florence went. Stop! Something wrong, said Florence.
02:23You didn't say ready steady, said Dougal. Oh, Mr. Perfection, said Brian heavily. Ready, steady,
02:31go. And Florence went again. Mr. Rusty, who had to go next, waited nervously for Florence to come back,
02:42checked it was really his turn, and set off, showing some of his old hop, skip and jump figure.
02:53Bravo, said Omintrude. Who would have thought he had it in him?
02:57Dylan wondered if he'd stay awake long enough to take part.
03:04Play up, said Omintrude. So Dylan played up.
03:10Oh, oh, I'm not quite sure I can finish the course like, oh, oh, oh, yeah, I'm like exhausted,
03:21exhausted. Exhausted. But Zebedee was a flying umpire, and Dylan found he had to go.
03:31Whose turn, said Brian. Yours, snaily dear, said Omintrude. And Brian showed them what he was made of,
03:40with a little help from Zebedee, like pointing him in the right direction.
03:44Dougal waited, and then set off. He got a little sidetracked by a pile of sugar.
03:57Oh, the temptations they put in your way these days. What shall I do?
04:04Remember the team, said Zebedee. Oh, oh, the team, said Dougal.
04:15What's keeping him, I wonder, said Omintrude. And when Dougal came back, off she went.
04:22Oh, I feel such a fool.
04:25Zebedee said they'd wait for Omintrude to get back, and then decide the winner.
04:29Omintrude did finally get back, and Zebedee declared her the winner.
04:36I owe my victory to clean living and vegetarianism, said Omintrude.
04:40Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
