Honk-honk! Honk-honk!
# Here come the Numtums They're furry and they're fun
# Here come the Numtums Let's start with number one
# Bendy Go!
# Dar Dar!
# Champer!
# Gladdy!
# Little Sandy!
# Flinders!
# Humpty Do!
# Coogee!
# Hobart!
# Nimbin!
# One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

# The Numtums! #
Hmm! The wind's coming in from the west and the sky is clear.
This could be a good night to find our treasure, Coogee.
Numtum!
Right you are! Let's be on our way.
Come on, eat up your lunch, Little Sandy.
Yes, you'll need loads of energy if you want to come stargazing with me.
DOORBELL
Special delivery! It's the Super Numtum comic!
- ALL: - Yay! Hurrah!
- Over here! - Ooh!
Wha-ha-hah! When I've eaten this power broccoli
I will have enough energy to spin my hamster wheel so fast
it'll put the whole world in a spin.
And all before bedtime! Wha-ha-hah!
Cooking up another badly-thought-out plan, Fluffy McTuffy?
A plan?! Never!
Oh, no! So Super Numtum has got power broccoli, too!
But he hasn't got as much as me! Wha-ha-ha-hah!
Paw-licking good!
Paw-licking good? Now I'm ready
to make the world spin so fast, it will be mine!
And you can't stop me!
- Oh, yes, I can! - Oh, no, you can't! - Can! - Can't!
I'll prove it!
Oh, what's happening? I ate more power broccoli than you!
No, we both had the same amount.
One,
two, three,
four, five,
six, seven,
eight, nine, ten!
But mine was arranged in a different pattern
so it looked like there was less. I could run all night!
Did I mention I was training for the superhero sports day?
Oh, cocks-a-doodles!
I don't think Fluffy McTuffy will be taking over the world today.
I don't know why I bother!
Oh, oh, I wonder where I can get some power broccoli?
I could do with a boost.
I'd better find Nimbin. We're going stargazing!
Look! It's an advert for Gladdy's Termite Treat Delivery Service.
Ooh, this is extra termitey!
Mmm! Let's order some now!
Oh, no, we can't order any yet. It says "opening soon".
Soon? I can't wait that long. I'm a growing Numpup!
Gladdy, can you open your Termite Treat Delivery Service now?
Oh-oh! Open my delivery service now?
- ALL: - Please!
If I'm going to open it now, I'm going to need a special team.
- Please, can I help? - Pick me for the team!
A team? Pick me! Pick me! I'm super-speedy!
You can all help!
Just as long as you promise not to eat any of the Termite Treats.
Not even a lick?
Not even a lick!
- ALL: - We promise!
Good! Our motto will be, "tasty, speedy and uneaten".
A-ha! It gives me great pleasure
to declare the Termite Treat Delivery Service, ha-ha, open!
Welcome to the Termite Treat Delivery Service.
My name is Hobart, and I'll be your server for today.
I like kittens...
DESCENDS INTO GIBBERISH
And?!
Oh, yes. We have a wide range of dishes.
The classic Ten Termite Treats in a straight line.
Our very popular Ten Termite Treats in a square
or, for the more adventurous,
Ten Termite Treats in a zigzag!
Do you have a Stargazer's Special?
Did someone say "special"?!
CALYPSO-STYLE BEAT
Our Stargazer Special is Ten Termite Treats in a star!
That sounds tasty!
An excellent choice! And for you, madam?
Oh, er, there's so much choice!
No pressure, take your time!
This one!
- So, you'd like the square? - Oh, actually, no.
Actually, yes... No.
Yes. No. Yes! No.
Oh, go on! I'll have the Stargazer's Special, too, please.
Eugh!
- We've got two orders! - Busy! Busy! So busy!
Oh, I'm sure big, brave Numpups like you can handle two orders.
But can they handle more than two? We're about to find out.
Welcome to the Testy Termite Delivery Service. My name is Hobart
- and I'm your server for today. - We're heading off in search of treasure
and we'd like cheese delivered to this spot, marked X, please.
Certainly. Take your pick.
- Ho-ho! My, this is a mighty fine menu you've got here. - Thank you!
- But do you have Treasure Hunter's Specials? - Somebody say "special"?

NEEDLE SCRATCHES
Our Treasure Hunter Special has Ten Termite Treats in an X.
Hmm. Two Treasure Hunter's Specials, please!
So, that's Ten Termite Treats in an X for the both of you,
delivered somewhere on the gorge, marked with an X?
You've got it!
We've got two more orders!
PREEP!
Numpups, what we need is teamwork.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
There! In a nice star shape!
One, two, three...
And Ten Termite Treats in an X. That's it, the orders are ready!
ALL: Hooray!
Is it nap time now?
Nap time?!
Oh, I need the best delivery teams this gorge has ever seen!
- That's us! - But you must promise to live up to our motto...
ALL: Tasty, speedy...
- ..and uneaten. - I know, I couldn't trust you all.
We'll call our team All-Star Deliveries!
We'll call ourselves... Team Termites To Go-Go!
Off you go, go, go!
On your marks...
get set...
ALL: Tasty, speedy and uneaten!
..go!
- Ah, look at those stars! - Aren't they beautiful?
These stars are called the Galloping Guinea Pig, because together,
the pattern they make looks like a galloping guinea pig.
- Nice! But I like that one better. - Oh, the Treasure Chest,
because the pattern that those stars make looks like a treasure chest.
I like that best! It's got more stars.
- They both have the same number of stars. - They do?
But the chest looks so much bigger, it must have more stars.
They're just in different patterns, but have the same number of stars.
Look.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
Oh, it's so peaceful here.
DRILLING
- What is that?! - I was just saying how peaceful it was here!
Don't mind us! We're just digging for treasure!
The treasure is here, marked by the X.
DRILLING
Oh, great(!)
VROOM!
- One delivery, for Flinders! - One delivery for Coogee!
- He-he-he! - Nimbin, Little Sandy - dinner is served!
- Numtum? - Is something wrong? - Numtum.
Hmm, I see what you mean.
- We don't have as many treats as Little Sandy and Nimbin. - Numtum.
- Not as many treats?! - We must have lost some on the way.
Hmm, that's examine this more closely.
By my calculations, there are one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten treats in this box.
And in this box, there are
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
So, there are the same number of treats in each box.
- They are just in different patterns. - It just looks like there are more?
It's like the stars. There are ten stars in the Galloping Guinea Pig
and ten stars in the Treasure Chest.
ALL: By the power of the number!
Galloping guinea pigs! Is that the treasure chest?
So, the treasure is in the stars!
It wasn't a treasure map, after all. It was a star map!
I think we should all hold paws
and take a moment to enjoy this special...
Did somebody say "special"?
