The Muddle-Headed Wombat
Based on the story by Australian writer Ruth Park
Wombat!
Wombat.
Are you a wombat?
Wombat, Wombat, Wombat, Wombat, Wombat, Wombat!
One, two, three, four!
One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.
Wombat.
Wombat. Wombat.
Wombat, Wombat, Wombat...
Wombat.
Wo...
Who's there?
Rain?
Nope...
And now it's started raining!
It's not rain, it's me crying.
Whoever you are, please do not cry on me.
I already have enough troubles.
I have dropped my glasses somewhere and I can't find them.
Oh, what a bother!
Here they are.
Am I not extraordinary?
Am I not great?
I'll see in a moment...
O-o-oh...
How dreadfully big you are!
But I can fold up a bit.
See how small I am?
Hmm, you don't look very sensible, either.
O-o-oh! I've got lots of brains!
Listen how they rattle around in my head!
May I give you a little present?
I hope it's a banana!
Oh no, it is a musical wind instrument - a flute.
If you don't immediately stop jerking your legs,
and get up off the ground...
Excuse me, miss Mouse.
Oh, what a lovely view!
It wasn't very good-mannered of you to swallow my present.
I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to!
Oh. What?...
Hear that? Now I can earn pennies!
I'll always be able to play a tune on my breath!
And people will pay to hear it.
We will save up and buy a bicycle!
With red wheels!
Hey, you folks! Playing instruments in the street is not allowed in this town.
But he wasn't playing, he was breathing!
And who are you? Show me your documents!
Right! You must go with me to the police station!
To see the Sergeant.
- To the police station? - To the police station.
- To see the Sergeant? - To see the Sergeant, yes.
Stop! Grab him, quickly!
Get that villain!
Quickly, now!
Oh, wow!
Aha! Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Hurrah, the police station! The police station!
Are you the Sergeant? I must see a real, live Sergeant!
I'm the Sergeant.
Poachers!
Good evening.
Oh, Sergeant!
Stand still.
Thank you for the help.
Oh, what a wonderful cat!
Yes, only he's a stray.
I protest!
What? Such a wonderful cat is a stray?
I protest!
Yes, and he must pay a fine.
What fine?
We'll pay it!
Hey, where are you going?
Oh... all of it.
Dear me, this is a stray cat!
And what is your name?
Vernon la Puss!
Haven't you got a sensible name, like us:
"Mouse", or "Wombat"?
I protest! I'm Vernon la Puss!
Stop quarreling, please.
Would you like to be our friend?
Yes, yes, yes...
Oui, oui, oui, c'est la vie!
We never did buy our bicycle.
But we have a new friend now,
and new adventures await us!
