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)
