- Zou's mascot.
(chirps)
- Hmm!
(sighs)
- Zou! Did you bring him?
- Oh, yes. He looks brilliant!
- Everyone ready?
- Yes!
- And did you remember your team mascot?
You can't play your match tomorrow without it.
The rules are very strict about that.
- Yes! Don't worry, Zowie. We remembered.
Tada!
(chirps)
(chuckles)
Sorry, Zinnia.
- Hmm...
- There! Now, it's all ready for the game!
(chirps)
- It's the best mascot ever!
- He certainly looks great!
All you have to do now is win the game!
- There.
Now, you can see us play!
(chuckles)
- Okay everyone! Let's get started!
(blows whistle)
- Here, Zinnia!
(gasps)
Oh, no!
- Oh!
- Oh... Look at that great big stain!
- Oh! Sorry! Sorry!
I didn't put the top on properly!
- Don't worry!
Mummy will know someone who can get rid of the stains.
I'll take it home. When you pick me up
tomorrow morning, it'll be as good as new.
Hmm!
(doorbell rings)
- Hello, Zinnia!
You all ready for the game?
- Uh, as soon as I've found our mascot.
- It's not lost, is it?
- No, I mean...
Mummy said she'd leave it here after she'd cleaned it.
- We'll help you!
And seeing as I haven't had breakfast yet...
I think I'll try this.
(machine powering up)
Ooh! Who would have thought?
- Oh!
(clears throat)
- Oh!
- Hello?
- Daddy, have you seen our mascot?
- A mascot?
I don't think so...
- Are you sure, Daddy?
You haven't moved anything from these shelves?
- Ooh!
(laughs)
(sighs)
- No, Zinni
-pops.
The only thing I've moved all day
is a little, cuddly zebra toy I sold this morning.
(gasps)
- A cuddly zebra?
(gasps)
Oh no! Daddy!
- Our mascot!
- Well...
I didn't know it was yours.
The customer was most insistent!
I couldn't say no. I mean, this is a shop,
everything here is for sale, usually.
(chirps)
- What are we going to do? We can't play without a mascot!
- And the game's this afternoon!
We'll be disqualified!
- Uh, Zavier? Can you remember who bought it?
- Ah... Oh! Oh yes.
Of course I can. It was Zena.
- I'm sure she'll let you have it back
when she hears what it means to you.
- Yes! Elzee's mum will understand!
- Then, Zavier said he'd sold you the mascot.
- A mascot? No, it was a model.
- A model?
- Yes. And it really inspired me!
I've nearly finished my painting.
You want to take a look?
- But...
- That's our mascot!
(chirps)
- Where is it now?
- Elzee took rather a liking to it.
And, as I'd almost finished my painting,
I gave it to her to play with. She must be in the garden.
- "You like tea, don't you?"
"Oh, yes, 'tis my favourite drink, Mr. Dino.
How did you know that?"
- Hey, Elzee.
- Hello!
- Could we have our mascot back, please?
- Mascot? What mascot?
- The cuddly...
The model your mum gave you!
- I haven't got it any more! It wasn't bendy enough.
It split...
(chuckles)
doing the splits!
- Oh...
- You mean... it got torn?
- Uh... Yes.
- Oh, no!
- Don't worry. I'm sure we can mend it.
- Where is it now?
- I gave it to Zou's Grandpa.
- We've been searching all over for it
and all the time, it was at our house!
- Yes! And maybe Grandpa's mending it already.
(chirps)
- Grandpa!
- Grandpa!
- What's that doing over there?
- It's our mascot!
- It's being used as a scarecrow!
(laughs)
- It's not doing a very good job.
It's not scaring Poc one little bit!
(chirps)
- Yeah!
- We've found it!
- Oh, no!
- Oh...
- It's lost all its stuffing!
- What are we going to do? We can't use this as a mascot!
(sighs)
- Uh, we might be able to smarten it up a bit.
- We need the stuffing!
- Let's see if Grandpa knows what happened to it.
- Oh?
(chirps)
- Good thinking, Poc!
Grandpa will be at the other end!
- One thing's for sure, that mascot of yours
has had a lot of adventures!
- Yes!
It's been an artist's model, a gymnast...
(sighs)
- and a scarecrow!
(humming)
- Grandpa, you know your scarecrow?
- Yes, what about it?
- Well, it was supposed to be our mascot!
But it's lost all its stuffing.
- Oh, no! I am sorry. I didn't realise!
- Do you know where the stuffing is?
- It's quite important.
The mascot's needed this afternoon
for the basketball competition.
All the teams have to have a mascot.
- Oh, dear. I gave it to Nanna.
She needed it for her sewing.
- Come on, there's still time!
- Oh! Hello there!
Just look at this cozy little nest I've made for Poc!
- It's really lovely, Nanna!
- Poc'll be very pleased with it.
(chirps)
- Well, he'll have to thank Grandpa as well as me.
I couldn't have done such a good job
without that stuffing he gave me!
(gasps)
- The stuffing?
- You mean, that's our mascot's stuffing?
(chirps)
- Your mascot?
- Yes!
He's not really quite the same without his insides.
- We can take the stuffing out of the cushion
and put it back in the mascot!
(chirps)
It'd be a pity to spoil the lovely present
Nanna's made for Poc.
- But if we don't have a mascot,
we won't be allowed to play the game!
- Hmm! I've got an idea!
Poc can keep his present and we can have
a new mascot!
- How?
- Yes, Zou.
How exactly?
- You'll see! Can you help, Nanna?
With your sewing stuff?
- Of course I can. I'd be glad to!
(clapping)
- Hmm...
- And now, give a big welcome to Zou's team...
And their brand new mascot!
Uh, where is your mascot?
(all): Oh!
(chuckling)
(chirps)
(chuckles)
- Uh, oh!
- Hurray!
(chirps)
- Best mascot ever!
- Better than the best!
- Hmm!
(laughing)
- Oh, yes!
(laughing)
- That's my Poc!!
(cheerful music)
