(doorbell ringing, gasping)



- I'll get it!



(excited chirping)



- Hmm...

Ah, ah, ah! Not for you, Poc.



(sad chirping)



(chirping)



(chuckling) Poc...



(chuckling)



- Oh, hi, Zinnia!

Hello Aunt Zelda, Uncle Zavier.



- We're going to the beach!

Mummy and Daddy are taking me there,

and would you like to come and play with me?



- Mum! It's Zinnia.

She says can I go to the beach with her!



- And we're going to build the biggest sandcastle

ever in the whole world! Aren't we, Daddy?



- Uh... that's right, Zinnie

-pops.

What fun.



- Hello, Zelda, Zavier.

So, Zinnia!

You're going to play on the beach, are you?



- Can I go too, Mum?

- Of course you can.

I'm sure you'll have great f

-

-



- Yippee!



- Huh? Where did Zou go?



(chirping)



- Here I am! All ready for sandcastles!



- And we're going to play games! Aren't we, Mummy?



- Yes, dear.

After I've finished reading my magazines.



(giggling)



(objects clattering)



- Badminton?

- Ooh! Goody, goody, goody!

And we're going to go rock pool exploring!



(Zinnia cheering)



(giggling)

Goody, goody, goody! I can't wait!



- All ready for rock pooling!



(giggling)



- And we're going swimming!

In the sea!

Swimming!



- Swimming?

Uh, I just remembered.

I've got something else to do.

Some, uh...

Some homework!



- Aw!



- Homework, Zou?

- Yes.

I've got a homework assignment to finish.

Sorry.



- Aw...

Daddy? Can we go and ask Zak instead?



- Of course we can, Zinnie

-pops.



- Hurray!

We're going to the seaside, we're going to the seaside!



- Bye!

- Bye!



- Bye!

Zou?



(sighing)



(sighing)



(light music)



(sighing)



(chirping)



(sighing)



(excited chirping)



(giggling)



(chirping)



(high

-pitched sneezing)



- Oh!

Zou? How's the homework coming along?

If you get it finished quickly, I could take you down

to the beach to play with Zinnia.



- Thanks, Mum.

But I think it's going to take a while.



- You might get on better

with your book the right way up.



(chuckling)



(chirping)



- Oh, sorry, Poc!



(dizzied tweeting)



(bright music)

Dad, did Zou seem alright to you at breakfast?



- Hmm? Yes. He seemed fine.

Why do you ask?



- It's just... he seems to be a bit out of sorts.

He says he's got some homework to do and, well,

he's usually quite happy to get on with it.



- I'll go and see if he needs a spot of help.



(knocking, door opening)

Right, Zou. About this homework of yours...



(chuckling)

It can't be that hard.

Let's have a look at it and see what's what.



- I haven't got any homework.



(chirping)



- Oh, sorry, Poc.

Zou? Something's the matter, isn't it?

Well?



- Mm...

- What is it?



(chuckling) You can tell your old grandpa.

Ahh...



(sighing)



- Grandpa, I can't swim.



- Oh, is that all?

I couldn't swim either when I was your age.



- Zinnia asked me to go to the beach,

and it sounded like fun,

but she said they were going to swim,

but I can't swim, and she'll make fun of me, and...



- I'm sure she wouldn't.

But I tell you what,

why don't we go to the beach right now,

and I'll teach you to swim?



(gasping)

- Thanks, Grandpa!

Oh. They might still be there, though.



- Then we'll go first thing tomorrow morning!



- Yay! Thank you, Grandpa!



(chirping, laughing)



(bright music)



(Zou giggling)

Come on, Grandpa!



(panting)



- I'm coming as quickly as I can!



- Well, well! A pair of very early risers!



(giggling)

- Grandpa's going to teach me how to swim!



(Grandpa shouting)



- Just as soon as I've dealt with this crab!

Get off!



(chirping)



- Oh. What do we do now, Grandpa?



- Well, first of all, you need to get used to the water.

Now, grab hold of my arms.

And now, lift your feet off the ground.



- What? Both of them?



(chuckling)

- Don't worry. I've got you.



- Um...



(struggling grunts)



(excited chirping)



- Now, kick your legs.

That's it!

Try and keep them quite straight,

and kick, kick, kick!



- That's it! Well done, Zou!

Keep it up!



(giggling)

- Swimming's easy!



(chuckling)

- Hang on, Zou.

You haven't quite learned it yet!



- So what next?

- That's it, Zou!

Keep it up!



(sneezing)

- Okay, Zou.

Now next, I want you to turn around.



- Okay!



- Now lean back. I've got you!



- Ooh!



(Zou gasping)

- That's it! A little further!

Alright, take a deep breath.

That'll help to keep you floating.



(inhaling deeply)

Okay. And kick again, like before.



(giggling)



(chirping)

- Well done, Zou!

I think you're about ready for the next step!



(Zou giggling)



- Now, turn around again

and face me.

And take my hands.

Kick off from the sea bed.

That's it. Well done, Zou!



(chirping)

- Great stuff, Zou!

Keep it up! Yay!



(chuckling)



(laughing)



(excited chirping)



(doorbell ringing)



- Hello, Zinnia! Lovely to see you.

And what can we do for you?



- Has Zou done his homework?



- His homework? Uh, I'm not sure.

But I can't ask him, I'm afraid. He's not here.

He's at the beach with his grandpa.

I'm sorry, Zinnia.



- I get the feeling there's a reason

why Zou isn't at home.



- Yes. Did you see how his mood changed

when Zinnia mentioned swimming yesterday?



- He probably can't, unlike our little poppet!



- Of course he can!

He's older than me!

And anyway, he's down at the beach

so we can go and play with him! Hurray!



(both): Hmm.



(bright music)



(Zinnia panting)



(giggling)



- Bravo, Zou.



(clapping, laughing)



- Zou? Yoo

-hoo!

Zou!



- Hey, Zinnia!



- Zou?

- Come on in!

The water's lovely when you get used to it!



(Zou giggling)

Come on!



(giggling)



(all laughing)



- Do you see that?

(Zinnia): Mom, Dad!

See? I said Zou could swim!



(gasping)

- Oh! Well done!



- Well done, Zou!

- Excellent!



- Keep going!



(overlapping encouragements)



(laughing)
