[thunder rumbling]



- Zou's driftwood.

[gentle music]

[chirping]



- What's wrong Poc?

[thunder crashes, gasps]

Oh, it's only a storm Poc.

I know it's loud, but it's nothing to be frightened of.

[chirping loudly]

But I hope it stops by morning.

Grandpa is taking me and Elzee to the beach.

[knocking]



- Is everything alright Zou? I heard you talking.



- I'm okay Mum, it's just Poc that's a little bit scared.

How long will the storm last?



- Oh, not long.

It's best to try to get some sleep.



- Okay. We'll try.

[rain pattering]

[chirping excitedly]

[gasps]

[giggling]

The storm's gone Poc!

So we can go to the beach!

Bucket ready!

Spade ready!

Come on, Poc!

- Zou?



- Yes, Mum?



- You need some breakfast!



- Thanks Mum!

Oh.

[grunting]

Ooh. What happened to the garden Grandpa?



- Well, that fierce storm blew things over

and made this mess.



- Oh... are we still going to the beach?



- Of course. But let's clear up here first.



- Okay!

I'll help you.

[chirping]

[gentle music]



- Blanket? Check!

Deck chair? Check!

We're ready to go!



- Oh! Can I take this Grandpa?



- Of course, Zou.

And this?



- Why not?

- And this Frisbee?



- Goodness Zou, are you going to be able to carry all of that?



- Yes, Grandpa!

It's very important to have things to do on the beach!



- Zou! You're almost ready to go Zou,

but don't forget your lunch!



- Ooh, thank you.



- Have a good day at the beach!



- Thanks Dad.



- Hi!



- Hi Elzee, we're ready to go.



- Then let's get to the beach!

See you, Mum.

- Have fun!

[chirping]



- Find us a nice spot Zou!



- Okay, Grandpa!

I choose...

this spot!

Woah!

[giggling]



- Good choice, Zou.



- Hello, Zou!

Hello, Elzee!



- Hello!

- Hi!

Ooh, what are all those bits of wood?



- I don't know. Let's take a look.



- I wonder where they came from.



- This bit is curved. Like the front of a ship.

[gasping]

- What is it Zou?



- Maybe it's from a shipwreck.

[gasping]

- Perhaps you're right!



- And there's so much wood,

the shipwreck must be really close by!



- Let's try looking over there!



- Don't go too far! [Zou]: We won't!

[playful music]



- Is this from a ship?



- It must be!

That means we're getting closer.



- Argh! [laughing]

[gasping]

- Elzee, it's a pirate shipwreck!



- Argh!

- Zak!

You're here!

- Yes.

I came with Zinnia.



- Where's the pirate shipwreck?



- What shipwreck?

I'm just making a pirate sand castle.



- I don't think pirates had castles, Zak.



- I know, but I wasn't sure how to make a pirate ship out of sand...



- How's that sand castle looking, Zak?



- I've finished Zowie.



- It looks cool.



- We're looking for a real shipwreck!

It's where all this wood came from.



- Ooh, a shipwreck?



- It must be. Will you help us Zak?



- Oh, yes please!

[chirping happily]



- Look!



- There!

[laughing]



- That's a good

-looking boat.



- Let's check to see if anything is missing.



- Hm. It all looks perfect to me.



- Ah Zou! [chuckling]

Are you admiring my boat!



- Yes, Uncle Zavier...

we thought it might be a shipwreck.



- A wreck! No, no, no, no! It's brand new!



- Daddy's going to row me out to sea, so I can go fishing.



- So where shall we look now?



- Hmm...

Here! Let's follow this trail of wood.



- A trail?



- Maybe it leads somewhere.



- Look at that!



- That wasn't there before.



- It must be the shipwreck!



- Then we should find bits of the mast, or a rudder,

or a name plate, or...



- This is just a lot of branches and old wood.

I don't think any of it comes from a shipwreck Zou.



- There's Zigmund and Zoroaster!

Maybe they know where to find it.

Hello Zigmund, hello Zoroaster!



- Hello!

- Oh, hello!



- Are you looking for the shipwreck too?



- A shipwreck?



- There hasn't been a shipwreck. Zou.



- But where did all this wood come from?



- Oh, this is just driftwood.



- What's that?



- Well, sometimes branches of trees, fall into rivers

and get carried out to sea where they 'drift'.



- And the longer they are in the water,

the more they get worn away into interesting shapes.

Like the one you are holding.



- But why is there so much of it on the beach?

[gasp]

- The storm!



- That's right Elzee,

the storm was so strong last night

that lots of driftwood washed up on the beach.



- Oh... So there isn't a shipwreck after all.



- Thank goodness not!

But we've been collecting the driftwood

because we thought we could make a sculpture out of it.



- That sounds like fun.



- We could help you!

- Why thank you!

Let's gather as much wood as we can.

[chirping]



- I've got this bit.



- I think this wood is a little too heavy for you to lift, Poc.

Let me. Ooh!

[giggling] Whoops!

[panting]

Zinnia!

Can you use your net to

-

-

- I am using it Zou.

But I've still not caught any fish yet!



- No, can you catch some driftwood for us?

We're going to make a sculpture.



- Oh! Can I help build it?



- Zigmund? Can Zinnia help with the sculpture?



- Of course she can!

The more helpers the better.



- Daddy, let's go! We'll catch this one!

I've caught something at last!



- Well done, my precious.



- That's loads.



- And there's more to come. Look!



- Here you are Zou.



- My my, you've had a busy day, Zou,

but what are you going to do with all that wood?



- We're going to make a sculpture!



- Fantastic!

But err... a sculpture of what?



- Um...

We hadn't thought that far ahead...



- Um...



- Perhaps Zou has an idea.

[giggling]

[panting]

[laughing]

[playful music]



- It's brilliant.

Just like a ship sailing on the sea.



- That was a great idea Zou.



- Where is Zou?

And Zak?

[chirping]



- I thought it needed a finishing touch,

and thanks to Zak...

and his super pirate flag,

ta

-dah!

It's finished.

I name this ship, the Driftwood Storm!

[laughing]
