- Zou the shopkeeper.
- Bye!
- Thanks for your help, Zou.
Mrs. Zolli's going to go with you to Mr. Zoey's shop!
- Hello Mrs. Zolli.
- Hello!
- I said I'd do the shopping for Mum.
All on my own!
Butter, milk, bread; a newspaper for Grandpa.
(chirping)
No, I haven't forgotten, Poc!
And birdseed for Poc.
- Well, well! A very important job!
(bell chimes)
I'll wait for you outside, Zou. Happy shopping!
- Okay!
Hello Mr. Zoey!
Mum couldn't do the shopping today,
so she asked me to do it.
On my own.
So could I please have...
- Hello, Zou.
- Zak? Mr. Zoey? Is everything all right?
- Oh, hello there, Zou. Sorry, miles away.
Lovely day. Now; what can we do for you?
- Bread, milk and butter please.
And Grandpa's paper.
(chirping)
Ooh, yes. And birdseed.
- Coming right up.
(sighing)
- What's the matter, Zak?
- I asked Dad to take me to the seaside today.
We haven't spent a day out together for ages.
- That'll be fun!
- Yes. Except I can't leave the shop.
There's no
-one to look after it for me.
And birdseed.
It's on special offer this week, Poc.
Two for the price of one.
(chirping happily)
- I'm home! And I've got the shopping!
(distant animal cries)
(phone ringing)
Grandpa?
What are all those noises?
- My new mobile phone.
I'm just trying to decide on a suitable ringtone.
(honking)
- Ooh!
- Ooh. I don't like that one!
(chuckling)
(duck quacking)
- Poc? Was that you?
- It's not Poc
- Grandpa's got a new phone.
- Oh. Has he? Very nice.
And did you get all the shopping, Zou?
- Yes. But poor Mr. Zoey and Zak.
- Oh, what about them?
- Mr. Zoey wanted to take Zak to the seaside.
But he's got no
-one to look after the shop!
Hey! Grandpa!
Could we take Zak to the seaside instead?
- I've got a better idea than that, Zou!
- Yay!
- Sorry Mrs. Zolli! Can't stop! We're off to the seaside.
- Good morning, Mrs. Zolli.
Can I help you?
- Yes. You could tell me what's going on.
- Me and Grandpa have taken over from Mr. Zoey for the day.
Now. Is there anything you need?
- Yes!
As a matter of fact there is.
I could do with a packet of peppermints.
- Then walk this way, Madam.
(chuckling)
(bell chimes)
- Just because we're in charge doesn't mean you can help yourself, Poc.
- Our first customer, Grandpa!
Mrs. Zolli would like a packet of peppermints.
- Yes. They help me keep my concentration going when I'm on duty.
- Hmm... Mints, mints, mints.
Mints, mints... They must be here somewhere.
- It's all right Zou. Poc's found them.
- There you are, Mrs. Zolli!
One packet of peppermints!
Have a good day!
- Thank you, Zou. And you too!
(chuckling) Bye now.
- Ah! I've always wanted to be a shopkeeper!
- Fun, isn't it?
And here come our next customers!
- Hello!
- Oh!
Zou? What? Where's Mr. Zoey?
- Oh, he needed a day off with Zak.
So we said we'd look after things for him.
- Ooh.
- How may I help?
- We'd like a box of drawing charcoal please, Mr. Zou.
- Ooh! I know where that is!
I mean right away, madam!
Grandpa! Grandpa!
It's up there, Grandpa!
(grunting)
Whoops!
Phew.
Oops!
- There we are, Zena.
- Thank you.
- No; thank you.
- Bye, Zou!
- Bye!
- Hello!
Daddy's going to buy me a fairy princess dolly,
aren't you Daddy? The one with the magic wand
and the magic slippers and the beautiful blue dress with the wings and
-
-
not the dress, the fairy's got the wings and...
Where's Mr. Zoey?
Hello, Zou!
- Oh, hi, Zinnia! Hello Uncle Zavier.
I'm afraid Mr. Zoey isn't here at the moment, so we're in charge.
Aren't we, Grandpa!
- Now, where could it be?
- So; how may we help?
- Tell them, Daddy! A fairy princess dolly!
The one with the beautiful golden hair and...
- Steady on, Zinni
-pops!
Mind my phone.
- Here we are, Zinnia. One fairy princess dolly.
- She's lovely and I shall call her Britney Chantelle!
Thank, you Daddy!
- You're welcome Zinni
-pops.
Daddy's jacket?
And now: time for your ballet lesson, poppet.
- And Britney Chantelle can come too!
Bye, Zou!
- Bye!
(phone ringing)
Grandpa? Phone!
- I don't remember putting that ringtone into it.
Hello?
(indistinct chatter)
I'm sorry; I think you must have the wrong number.
- More customers!
- Hello, Zou. Hello.
- Mr. Zoey's taken Zak to the seaside.
So I'm looking after the shop for him today.
- Well, well, well!
Very grown up!
- Indeed.
- And how can I help?
- Well, we're after some paint.
For Zigmund's bathroom walls.
I suggested Giraffe Breath.
- But I think Spider Ear would be so much more me!
- Giraffe Breath and Spider Ear are colours.
- Yes. A sort of luscious, warm and vibrant pale grey.
- Oh!
- What, Zou?
- Grandpa!
Maybe it wasn't a wrong number!
I don't think that's your phone!
- Oh! It must be Zavier's!
He dropped it, remember? So where's mine?
Mr. Zoey said he was going to ring later
to see how we were getting on...
- Oh! And if you haven't got your phone...
Hey! Maybe Uncle Zavier took it instead of his!
Shall I ring your phone and find out, Grandpa?
- Good idea, Zou!
- But Mummy!
I don't want to go to ballet!
I want to stay and play with Britney Chantelle!
(duck quacking)
- Ducks!
Where are the ducks?!
I don't like them! Who let them...
(panting)
Close!
- Zavier, I think they're in your pocket?
- Huh?
(stammering)
Oh, but... whose phone is this?
Zavier speaking, how may I be of assistance?
Oh, Zou, it's you!
- So I think you must have picked up Grandpa's phone instead of yours.
- Well, how about 'Sunset on Sorrento'?
That'd look nice.
- Ooh, yes! How clever!
- Lovely!
I'd never have thought of that!
(screaming)
- Shall I answer it, Grandpa?
- Go ahead, Zou.
- Hello?
Oh! Hello, Mr. Zoey.
- Is everything alright at the store?
- Yes, everything's fine.
Yes... Bye!
- Bye, Zou.
- Mr. Zoey says he thinks we're being great shopkeepers, Grandpa.
- And your Grandpa makes a wonderful interior designer!
Such an eye for colour!
- And it looks as if your little bird is doing a good job
of cleaning up the counter too!
(chuckling)
- Poc!
(laughing)
