# Let's start with number one
# Bendy go!
# Dar Dar!
# Champer!

# Little Sandy!
# Flinders!
# Humpty Do!

# Hobart!

# One, two, three, four
# five, six, seven, eight

# The Numtums! #
# The Super Numtum! #
Ha-ha-ha! He-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Did I ever tell you I was naughty? Well, I am.
With the help of my big, bad water balloons
not so Super Numtum will be a soggy Numtum soon.
Whoa, ho-ho!
So, that's...
..rescue missions so far today.
Just an average day for Super Numtum.
Hmm, what's this? A soggy water-filled balloon.
This is the work of Fluffy McTuffy, we meet again.
Take that and that!
Ha! Ha! Ah, for me, Fluffy? How kind!
Oh, bopsa-diddly-dandy!
More water balloons, Lizzy.
My lunch box?!
Is that all that's left?
Well, it will have to do. This will show him who's super.
Ha!
Mm, a solid round shape, like a ball, er, it's a sphere.
Oopsa-squiddles... try this...!
Now, what's this? It's got six square faces with 12 strong edges,
a cube, a cube of cheese.
Lovely cheese, Fluffy.
Popsa-doodles!
Ah, round at both ends.
This feels like a cylinder.
Mm, a chocolate roll.
Foiled again. And you've eaten my lunch.
Not quite, I'm saving this orange for snack time.
Hey, have these back. Can't chat. I have daring deeds to do!
Popsa-doodles!
ALL: Yeah!
- All that food has made me hungry. - It must be nearly time for...
Termite Treats, Termite Treats! The tasty snack that nothing beats.
Come and get your... Oh, you know the drill.
Form an orderly line, no pogo jumping, no putting plates
on your head and no putting heads on your plates.
Roll up, roll up, Termite Treats!
- Me first. - Me first, rumbly tummy coming through!
- Here's lunch! - Ah, lunch!
Oo! Oo-uh-mm!
- Mm! - Erm, what's happened to my lunch?
- Gladdy? Gladdy? - Where's Gladdy gone?
Maybe for a spot of crocodile wrestling?
- At lunchtime? - Mm, mm, yes, yes, very strange, I admit.
- Oh... - What's that?
I've never seen lunch like that before.
Stand back and don't panic.
Ah! Well, shiver me Flinders. It will be a treasure map.
- A treasure map?! - Ah-ha, that's right, Humpty Do, me boy.
There's nothing like a good treasure hunt to start the afternoon.
- What about lunch? - And where did it come from? - Ah-hah!
Well, you see, that's the thing about treasure maps,
they just sort of appear!
- In the Tasty Termite? - Yes, not often in the Tasty Termite, I admit
but, er, you never can tell with a treasure map.
You see, my pirate Numpups, I remember treasure maps from my time
as a pirate. Sailing the seven seas with a carrot on my shoulder.
- Don't you mean a parrot? - A parrot?
Well, bless my barnacles, that explains the funny looks.
Galloping guinea pigs, so it's a treasure map with riddles.
- Oh! - Treasure maps always have riddles.
The game, you see, is to work out what each riddle means
because a riddle will lead you to treasure!
ALL GASP
Wobbly wombats!
Quite so, Humpty Do, quite so. Now, listen up and listen well.
"The first thing you must find is perfectly round,
"you'll know when you see it, it's not on the ground."
- That will be the riddle. - Wow! - What are we waiting for?
We have treasure to find.
- CHEERING - Forward, Numpups there's not
a moment to lose.
- "The first thing you must find... - Is perfectly round."
Perfectly round? What's that like?
Oh, what's that?
Of course, Humpty, it's round like a ball - a sphere.
- That's what Super Numtum said. - I can't see anything like a ball.
- That's because it's... - Not on the ground.
Oh, look! The treasure map shows the tree.
So, it must be up a... look, there it is!
BOING AND BANG
- Tiver me shimbers! It's a ball! - Or a sphere. - Ah-ha!
Sphere. Now that's a word that makes a pirate proud.
Clue number one solved, me hearties! He-he! No time to dilly-doddle.
Where was I...? "The next thing you must find
"has six faces that are square.
"It has 12 strong edges, find a bush and you're there."
Let's go!
Follow the map.
- A bush? - A bush? - I see no bushes.
- Neither do I. - That's because we're in the wrong place!
Err, it took me years of being a pirate to work that one out.
- I've found a bush. - And another one. There are lots.
Ah-har! That's right, it's an old pirate saying -
"You spend ages looking for one bush
"and then they all come along at once."
Bushes ahoy!
ELECTRONIC BEATS
Oh, that was tiring.
That's as maybe, Numpup, but I'd say we've found our bush.
- But it's not got six square faces. - Or 12 strong edges.
Don't you mean... a cube!
Wow! This has. I wonder what's inside.
- It bit me! - Oh, it's all right, Humpty, it's just a jumping Numtum.
- A jumping Numtum?! Wow! - Now, pin your ears forward.
- Whoa! - No, I meant pin your ears back. "The next is a shape,
"with a strange-sounding name, it's round at both ends,
- "now get on with the game!" - Let's go!
- It must be in a bush. - It must be in a tree.
- But it's not. - "It's round at both ends...?" Mm...
Ah-ha, I remember, a cyli...
a cyli...
- A cylinder. - Did you say "cylinder"?
That was just what I was going to say.
Where would we find one of those?
It looks like we'll find it on a log.
Flouncing flamingos! It's like magic.
Wow! It's a kaleidoscope. Wow!
Ahh...!
Hey, that's clever. That's a cylinder you can look through!
That's right. Hmm, pirates are a clever lot.
"When Numtums are hungry it's the place they all go.
"If you hurry, you'll find me, I'm someone you know."
Come and get your tasty treats, come and get them,
wherever you are!
- "When Numtums are hungry... - It's the place they all go."
- It's the Tasty Termite. - Termite Treats ahoy! He-he!
Gladdy, Gladdy, you'll never guess where we've just been.
Let me see now, Numpups.
It wouldn't have anything to do with a treasure map, would it?
- How did you know? - "When Numtums are hungry it's the place they all go.
"If you hurry you'll find me, I'm someone you know."
Oh-ho, Gladdy! You made up the treasure trail.
That's right, Numpups. Every so often a Numpup needs to end the day
- with an adventure. How did you do? - We found everything.
- The cube. - The sphere.
And the cylinder.
Well, Numpups, in my book that means Termite Treats all round.
CHEERING
Yeah...
