- Thank you for helping me, Zou.
- There! Your castle will keep out any attackers now, Zak.
- Yeah!
- Wow. I made a sandcastle yesterday.
I'm going to do something better today.
I'm going kayaking with Daddy!
(Zou gasping)
- Oh! Brilliant!
- I know. See you later!
- Uh...
(Zinnia giggling)
- Bye
-bye!
- Have fun!
(Zak laughing)
(laughing)
- Ah!
(gasping)
(Zinnia): Oh!
(laughter) There we go.
It's a good idea to concentrate on what you're doing
if you don't want to fall into the water.
- Sorry, Zowie.
(chuckling)
- That was brilliant, Zowie!
I'd like to be a lifeguard like you!
- It's not as easy as it looks. It takes a lot of training.
- So could I do some training?
I'd be great at lifeguarding!
- Tell you what. You could start by helping me watch the beach.
- Yay! Thanks, Zowie!
- Hmm.
- Guess what! Guess what! We've got two lifeguards on the beach now.
- Ho
-ho! So where's the second one?
- It's me! Zowie asked me to help him!
- My word. That's quite a responsibility.
- Hmm. But I'll need some lifeguarding stuff.
- Oh, you will!
Something to help you look the part.
- Yes. Um...
Um, a red cap, binoculars,
some flippers...
- Here, you can borrow my binoculars.
I don't think there'll be any yachts to look at today.
- And you can have my flippers.
- Thanks, Dad. Now all I need is the cap.
- Here you go.
- Hmm. Oh, thanks, Grandpa.
But it has to be red.
People need to see me.
(Grandpa chuckling)
- Better?
- Hey! Thanks, Grandpa!
- You're welcome, Zou.
- Right.
Now I need to find a spot where I can see the whole beach.
(tweeting)
Well done, Poc. Great idea. That looks like just the place!
- Hang on. You've got to put on some sun cream.
- Uh...
- Hold still.
(sighing)
- Keep your eyes peeled, Poc. We're on duty!
I wonder how many people we're going to save.
(Zinnia groaning)
- Oh!
- Oh, this rock's not very comfortable.
(giggling)
(chuckling)
(Elzee): Help! Help!
Help!
- That's Elzee! Come on, Poc!
(tweeting)
(panting)
(tweeting)
What's the matter, Elzee?
- Help, Zou. I've lost my hairslide!
- Hmm. Your... hairslide?
- Yes. I can't go swimming without it.
Could you help me look for it, please?
- Oh... okay, Elzee.
where did you last see it?
- I think I saw a hairslide on your towel.
- Hmm.
(tweeting) Oh. No, Poc.
I don't think Zowie does a lot of searching for hairslides.
(tweeting)
There it is!
- Oh, thanks, Zou.
- You're welcome. Right. I've got to get back to my post.
Oh! Come on, Poc!
(tweeting)
(crying)
- A wave smashed into our castle,
and I can't build another like that one all by myself.
- Uh... Um...
Hmm.
- Hmm.
- Don't worry, Zak. I'll help you.
And this time, we'll make it even stronger!
- But... but you're a lifeguard now.
You've got to watch the beach.
- I can watch it while we build the castle.
If anybody needs me, I'll see them.
(Zak laughing)
- Thanks, Zou!
(tweeting)
- There! Nothing's going to break this castle!
- No! It'd take a tidal wave to smash it!
- Huh? Why are you wearing that funny hat?
Oh... and what are those binoculars for?
- Because I'm a lifeguard! Like Zowie!
(gasping)
- But...
I've never seen Zowie making sandcastles.
- Hmm.
- Have you finished kayaking?
- Yes. I'm going to do some ballet practice instead.
Kayaking gets a bit boring after a while.
- Does it? It looked like fun to me.
- Huh. We just went round in circles!
- If you'd listened to me, Zinni
-pops,
we'd have been fine!
You can't just paddle willy
-nilly in a kayak, you know.
(sighing)
- Zou, do you want to borrow my kayak to rescue people?
- What?! Oh, yes! Thanks, Zinnia! Brilliant!
Dad? Can you show me how to kayak?
- Well, I could, Zou.
I love kayaking. But, uh... we'd need a kayak.
- We've got one! Zinnia's lending us hers!
- Well done, Zou! You've got it!
- It's quite easy when you know how.
= I think we're ready to go out on sea patrol!
(Zou giggling)
Oh! It's not as easy when you're on water.
- You just need to keep calm and paddle at a steady rate.
Tell you what. I'll count each stroke.
On "one," we paddle on the right,
and on "two," we paddle on the left. Okay?
- Okay, Dad.
- Ready then?
- Ready.
- One! Two!
One! Two!
Well done, Zou. You're doing really well.
Now you can help anyone who gets into trouble in the water.
- But... we're the only ones out here!
It's not easy being a lifeguard when there's no one to guard.
- A lifeguard's got to have a lot of patience. Look!
Zowie's not rescuing anyone, but he's keeping an eye out all the time.
You've just got to stay alert and keep watching for...
- Oh
-oh!
- Oh! Look! Over there!
(Zou gasping)
- My airbed!
- It's Mom!
- Her airbed's drifting away!
- Quick! We'll save it!
(panting)
Oh, no! It's getting away!
- Calm down, Zou.
If we paddle together the way we did just now, we'll catch up with it. Ready?
- Ready.
- One! Two!
One, two!
One, two! One, two!
One, two!
(tweeting)
- Oh, I
-I've got it!
Yeah! We did it!
- Well done, Zou!
- Here you are, Mom.
- Oh, thanks, Bizou.
Mwah!
(Zou laughing)
I don't know what I'd have done without you.
(Zou laughing)
(sighing) Well...
so far, I've helped Elzee, Zak and Mom,
but I still haven't saved anyone.
(tweeting) And I wanted to be a proper lifeguard like Zowie.
(tweeting)
(shouting)
- Zou.
- Zou!
- Huh? Zou the lifeguard to the rescue!
Maybe Grandpa's lost his glasses.
- Don't worry, Zak. Zou the lifeguard's here.
(chuckling)
Time for a real rescue.
Your castle stood up to the waves alright,
but look, there's a fish trapped inside!
(exclaiming)
- We've got to save it!
- Here we go, little fishy.
Oh. Oh!
(panting)
(Grandpa): Almost.
Oh... steady, Zou.
- Get it, get it!
(Zou grunting)
Hmm. Oh!
Yay! Got it!
(giggling)
Hmm.
Bye, little fishy!
(giggling)
- Oh, well done, Zou!
(cheering)
- Well done, Zou!
- Yeah, well done, Zou. You saved the fish,
and you made a good job of helping out everybody on the beach!
- Well, I like helping people.
- That's a proper lifeguard talking!
I think you've earned this.
- Wow! A real lifeguard's whistle? Thank you, Zowie!
(whistle blowing)
- Oh.
(tweeting)
(laughing)
- Like Dad said,
a lifeguard has to keep his eyes open all the time!
(laughter)
