Zou and the secret admirer



- Oh, good!

- Yes! Lovely.



- Hm...



- Look! That's my painting!



- You know... that face reminds me of someone!



- Well done, Zou!

It's beautiful.



- Yes. Nearly as beautiful as the model.

Looks like we've got a real painter in the family!



- Oh, that reminds me! I've got to put a lick of paint on the fence today!

See you later!



- Hello!

- Hi, Zac!



- Wow!

It's brilliant!



(sighing)

- I'd like to have a painting in an exhibition one day.



- Maybe you will!



- We've got a good crowd!

It's been like this all week.

The exhibition is a huge success!



- Do you hear that, Zou?

They'll probably ask you to start planning another exhibition!



- Heh heh! That'd be great!



(Poc chirping)



- And next time I think I'll paint...

um... a portrait of Dad.



- Hmm!

(Zou giggles)



- Okay, Poc. You can be in it too.



(chirps happily)



- Here, Zou. A letter for you.



- For me?

"You are a very talented artist.

I hope to see much more of your work very soon."



- Well, well, well.

Seems like you've got an admirer.

Your first piece of fan mail!



- How exciting!

Who's it from?

- Um...

I don't know. It just says...

"One of your most devoted admirers."

What does that mean?



- It means you've got a secret admirer.



- A secret admirer? Um...



(Poc chirping)

Grandpa! Grandpa! Look!

I've got a secret admirer!



- Well now!

You know, I've been painting all these years

and I've never had one single admirer...



- Hey, Grandma!

It looks like my exhibition's made me a bit famous!

I've got a letter from a secret admirer!



- Oh... that reminds me.

Once upon a time, when I was a lot younger,

I had a secret admirer too...



(chuckles)



- Hey! What's this?

(chirping)

A dried flower!



- Hmm... it looks like one of Zena's poppies.



- So this flower may have come from Elzee's house?

Um, maybe my admirer's a girl!

And I know how to thank her!

Hello!

- Hi!

Elzee? I painted this for you!



- Ooh!

Thank you, Zou!



- Do you like it?

- It's really good!

But... It's not my birthday or anything, so why?



- Beause I wanted to do something for my secret admirer!



- Your secret admirer?

I love your paintings, that's no secret.



- Oh.

So... What about the letter then?



- What letter?

- This letter.

I didn't write it, Zou.

Still whoever did likes your paintings as much as I do.



(chirping)



- This flower was in the envelope too.

Grandma said it's like the ones in your garden.



- Yeah, it is.

I think it's one of the poppies Mummy grows.

Let's go and ask her!



- Hello!

- Hello, Zou!



- Excuse me; is this one of your poppies?



- Yes, it is. I'm drying these for Mr. Zoey.

He asked me if he could have some for his shop.



- Mr Zoey? Hmm.

I wonder...

Zak was saying a lot of nice things about my painting!



- So maybe he's your secret admirer!



(chirping)



- No, no... not in that direction.



- Oh?

So there's a right direction to paint in now, is there?



(Grandpa gasps)

- Oh, sorry.



- Dad! Grandpa!

Can you come to Mr Zoey's shop with us?



- Whoa! Someone's in a big hurry!



- Yes!

We think we know who my admirer is!



- I wish I had an admirer...

(Poc chirping)



- I'm sorry, Zou. I can't take you right now.

I've got to finish the fence before it gets dark.

I'm sure Dad can take you though...



- Of course I can!/|



(both): Yay!



- Zak?

- Hello!

- Hi!



- HellO! Can I leave Zak with you? I've got some shopping to do.



- Yes, of course, Mrs Zolli.



- Zak, did you write this letter?



- Er... no.

I haven't learnt how to do joined up writing yet!



- So... who did write it?

Why don't you ask Mr Zoey?

After all, Zena gave him the dried poppies.

I'll wait for you. Don't be too long.

- Okay!



- Thank you, Mr Zoey!



- Just a moment, Mrs Zolli...

As one of my most loyal customers, I'd like you to have this.



(all gasp)

- Your mum's poppies!



- Just to say thank you.

- Hmm, thanks!



(all): Hello, Mr Zoey!

- Hello there!

And what can I do for you?



- We just were wondering...

who else have you given those flowers to?



- Well... er... To all my best customers!



- Um, oh...

That makes a lot of people!



- Don't worry: I've still got some for you!



(laughing)

(all): Thanks, Mr Zoey.



- Bye!

- Good luck!



(Zou sighs)



- I'll never find out who my admirer is...



- Well, shouldn't a secret admirer be...

...a secret?



- Suppose so.



- Well, how did the hunt for the secret admirer go?



- Not very well...



- They didn't find out who it is.



(Zou sighs)



- Like Dad says.

It's going to have to stay a secret.



- Zou!

I've had a letter too!



(gasps)

(Poc chirping)



- You mean...

You've got an admirer as well?



- Yes! And look!

No signature but it's got a dried poppy in!

Just like your letter!



- Ooh... Do you think it could be the same admirer?



- It looks like it!



- Let's compare the writing on our letters!



- Oh, good idea, Elzee.



- The "e" and the "t" are the same!

So they must both be from the same person!



- But we still don't know who it is...



- Have you had a good look in the envelope?

There might be another clue...

(chuckles)



(Pop chirping)



- That's funny:

there's no stamp on the envelope!



- So it must have been posted straight into the letterbox!



- Why don't you go and check.

- Yes!



- Mum!

- Yes, Elzee?



- Did you see who delivered this letter?



- Uh...no.

Actually, I haven't seen anyone in the street today,

apart from your mummy, Zou.



- Mum? Ah

-ha!

I think we've found our lady admirer!



(chirping)

Mum! Mum!

Oh! She's not here!



- Uh... She's, uh... gone to do some shopping, Zou.

She shouldn't be long.

(chirping)



- Hmm...

Look, a shopping list...

Mum must have forgotten it.



- Why don't you check the writing?

- Yes!

Um...

It's the same writing!

So that's it! Your mum wrote the letters!



(Poc chirping)



- Phew!

I thought I'd never finish painting that fence!

Oh, bother!

Looks like your mum forgot to take my shopping list!



(gasps)

- Your list?



- Did you write it?



- Mm

-hmm...

(both gasp)

So that means...



(both): You're the secret admirer!



- Heh heh heh!

Looks like I've been found out!



- But how did you do it?

We thought it was Mum...



- I posted the first letter myself.

I asked Mum to post Elzee's.



- But why did it have to be a secret?



- You could have just told us you liked our paintings...



- Well... Sometimes it's very nice to be admired in secret!



(chuckles) Isn't that right?



(laughs shyly)

(whispers): That's right.



- Hello, Elzee!

Zou, this is for you!



- For me? Are you sure?



- Yes! I found it in front of the gate.

I think it must be from your secret admirer!



(Zou giggles)



- Not me this time!

- Oh!

So now I've got a new secret admirer!



(all laughing)
