Hup!
Whey-hey!
Numtum!
Wait a minute, Coogee.
We have to take turns.
Numtum!
Do you think it's time for Coogee's nap?
I think so. She gets a bit grumpy when it's past her nap time.
SHE BLOWS A RASPBERRY
Right, a nap.
How do we do that, then?
We take one tired Coogee,
add one Neddy and...
Numtum!
Hang on, where is Neddy?
Numtum?
Oh, no! The poor Numpup has lost Neddy!
- Numtum... - Don't worry, Coogee. We'll help you find him.
Here, Neddy, Neddy, Neddy!
Here, Neddy, Neddy!
Hmm... We need to think about this scientifically.
Neddy is always with Coogee so, by my calculations,
he has to be in one of the places Coogee has been today.
So if we look in all of the places that Coogee has been today...
We'll find Neddy!
Numtum!
Here's the plan.
Welcome to Operation Fetch Neddy.
This map of Gumnut Gorge shows the four places Coogee has been today.
First, we had breakfast here, at the Tasty Termite.
So that's one place Neddy could be.
Then we went to watch Hobart's Show at the Platypus Playhouse.
One more place Neddy could be. That's two.
Then we fed the flamingos here at the Half Moon Lagoon,
one more place Neddy could be. That's three.
And then you played Leap Billy here with me in the Flowery Meadow.
That makes four places Coogee's been today,
and Neddy's got to be in one of the them.
Well, we know that it's not here.
Numtum...
That's one less place to look. So, by my calculations...
there are three places left to look.
The Tasty Termite,
the Platypus Playhouse
and the Half Moon Lagoon.
- Numtum! - We'll start with the Half Moon Lagoon.
I need two volunteers for Operation Fetch Neddy.
- Oh, me! Me! - Me! Me!
Humpty Do, Champer, you've been chosen for Operation Fetch Neddy.
Use this to keep in touch.
Let's go, go, go!
- Numtum... - Oh, cheer up!
While we wait for them, I'll do my best dance ever!
ROCK'N'ROLL MUSIC
Uh-uh-uh!
Numtum...
Oh, come on. It's not that bad.
HE SNORES
Whoa! What's up?
Ah! Looks like I've caught a big one this time.
Lovely!
Wobbling wombats!
I didn't know fish wore socks!
Never mind, I'll get another.
FLAMINGO SQUAWKS
Now, where was I?
Oh, yes.
HE SIGHS
Flinders! Flinders! Coogee's lost Neddy.
Have you seen him around here?
Lost Neddy? I'd better help you look.
Coogee can't sleep without Neddy.
Here, Neddy, Neddy, Neddy!
Here, Neddy, Neddy!
Little Sandy, can you hear me?
I can hear you, Champer. What's the news?
We've looked all over the Half Moon Lagoon
but there's no sign of Neddy.
I see. Then you'd better come back to base.
We're on our way.
If Neddy isn't in the Half Moon Lagoon,
that's one less place Neddy could be.
That leaves two places left to look.
The Tasty Termite and the Platypus Playhouse.
Numtum!
We need two more volunteers to look around the Platypus Playhouse.
- Oh, oh! - Me, me! - I will!
Keep in touch and good luck!
Operation Fetch Neddy, let's go, go, go!
What have we here? This looks like one unhappy Numpup!
Numtum...
It's Coogee's nap time and the poor Numpup has lost Neddy.
Lost Neddy?
But Coogee needs Neddy to sleep, like I need Loretta!
Numtum...
I know just the thing for a sad Numpup to do until Neddy turns up.
Thanks, Larry!
Well, I'd love to stay but I'm a busy, busy bird!
Right, then.
This story begins with that naughty Fluffy McTuffy saying...
I've invited not-so-Super-Numtum to tea, ha-ha-ha!
It's my latest naughty plan.
You see, these are the scrummiest cakes in all the world.
Not-so-Super-Numtum won't be able to resist them
and while he's scoffing Frilly Lizzy can sneak off
and get me the Top Ten Tips For Being Naughty book, right Lizzy?
Mua-ha-ha!
With that in my paws, the world will be mine on a plate!
Mua-ha-ha some more!
But where is he?
Oh, waiting is so boring!
I think I'll have a cake.
Oh, dear!
Fluffy McTuffy seems to have forgotten that she needs
the cakes to distract Super Numtum!
Mm, this is scrummy yummy!
And that these cakes are so delicious,
she'll want more and more of them.
Mm! Ooh, just one more.
That's one more cake for Fluffy McTuffy.
Mm, one more...
And one less cake for Super Numtum.
And one less...and one less...
DOORBELL RINGS
Oh, no! There's only one cake left for Super Numtum!
You'll have to be quick, Lizzy!
Hello, Frilly Lizzy.
You look...different. Going somewhere?
Come in, not-so...
I mean, Super Numtum.
Won't you have a cake, Super Numtum?
Oh, I couldn't possibly take your last one.
That would be bad manners.
Who cares about manners? Eat it anyway.
Hmm, you'd really rather I ate that cake than you?
Uh-huh.
That's strange.
And you invited me to tea.
One more strange thing.
And Frilly Lizzy was wearing a catsuit, one more strange thing.
That makes three strange things which, with you involved,
can only mean...
mischief!
Frilly Lizzy, what are you doing
with the Top Ten Tips For Being Naughty?
You know it must never get into the wrong paws.
Quick, Lizzy! The book!
Ha, I win! The Top Ten Tips For Being Naughty
is in the naughtiest paws in the world!
Mua-ha-ha!
Whoa!
One more naughty plan has failed, Fluffy McTuffy!
Oh, popsadoodles!
Oh, ha-ha-ha! Feeling better?
Numtum!
So it's one, two, three, kick!
- And a-one, two, three, kick! - DOORBELL RINGS
Hey, Hobart. I've brought your parcel.
Oh, thank you!
How simply marvellous!
Yoo-hoo, flamingos!
Your costumes have arrived!
FLAMINGO SQUAWKS
Well, I'd love to stay but I'm a busy, busy bird!
And a-one, two, three, kick!
Hobart! We need your help!
Coogee has lost Neddy!
Stop!
Flamingos, leave no stone unturned.
We must find Neddy!
Hello? Hello? Little Sandy? Are you there?
What's happening at the Playhouse?
The usual stuff. Flamingos and tiaras...
But no sign of Neddy.
I see. You'd better come back to base.
We're on our way.
Ooh! Argh!
Hey, Gladdy. I brought a parcel for you.
Oh, thanks, Larry, dear. Just leave it on the counter.
Arooga!
Whatever is the matter, Larry?
It's Neddy! Coogee's been looking for him all day!
AIR RASPS FROM NEVILLE
Neville!
Oh, come back, Neville!
And come back, Neddy!
Gladdy! Larry!
Have you seen Neddy around here?
- We certainly have. - Goody goody Gumnuts!
But he's just flown off on Neville.
Neville, come back here this minute!
Come in, Little Sandy. Are you there?
Yes! Have you found Neddy?
Yeah, he was here but now he's flown off on Neville.
We need to follow that crocodile!
If Neddy's flying around on Neville,
then by my calculations he could be...
- anywhere! - Numtum...
Look! What's that?
Numtum!
Numtum! Numtum! Numtum!
Numtum! Numtum!
Ha-ha-ha!
Oh, Neville, you are a one.
Well, Neddy's turned up safe and sound
and, in my book, that means...
ALL: Termite Treats all round!
Oh, yeah!
