00:00Ebb and Flo and the Baby Seal, by Jane Simmons.
00:15For Cordy, Miggy and Max, Ebb sat and listened to the rain and the wind.
00:19Pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter whoosh, Ebb had eaten all her biscuits and
00:23chewed her toy into little bits.
00:25She wanted someone to play with.
00:27Woof, said Ebb, but Flo was busy painting.
00:31Woof, said Ebb, but Bird was busy chatting with the ducks.
00:34Woof, said Ebb, but Mom was busy too.
00:38So Ebb sat and listened to the wind and the rain.
00:41Pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter whoosh, then she heard a cry from the beach.
00:45Wah-wah, it was a baby seal, at last Ebb had someone to play with.
00:50They played on the sand.
00:51They played in the waves.
00:53They played in the rock pools.
00:55Ebb and the Baby Seal played all day long.
00:57As it got later, Ebb began to feel hungry, but when she set off for home the Baby Seal
01:02tried to follow.
01:04Wah-wah, the Baby Seal cried.
01:06Ebb stopped.
01:07Woof, she barked.
01:09Why wouldn't the Baby Seal go home?
01:11Ebb went to fetch help.
01:12Woof, barked Ebb.
01:14Beep, said Bird.
01:16Shush, said Mom.
01:17We're busy.
01:18Woof, woof, barked Ebb again even louder.
01:22What's the matter Ebb?
01:23Asked Flo.
01:24Woof, woof, woof.
01:26Barked Ebb until Flo and Mom followed her all the way down to the beach.
01:30It's a baby seal, said Flo.
01:33Maybe she's hungry.
01:34Maybe she's lost, said Mom.
01:36Wah-wah, cried the Baby Seal.
01:38She needs her mom, said Flo, and I know where to find her, said Mom.
01:43Follow me.
01:44Flo followed Mom, Ebb followed Flo, and the Baby Seal followed Ebb.
01:48Wah, went the Baby Seal.
01:51Flo heaved on the oars as Mom pushed off.
01:53Woof, said Ebb to the Baby Seal.
01:55Wah, the Baby Seal cried back.
01:58They rode all the way out to Seal Island.
02:00Woof, woof, barked Ebb.
02:02Wah, went the Baby Seal.
02:04There were seals everywhere.
02:06Oh no, said Flo.
02:08We'll never find her mom.
02:09Ebb looked out to sea.
02:11Suddenly Ebb saw a head bobbing all alone.
02:13Woof, woof, woof.
02:15Ebb barked as loud as she could.
02:17Then they heard a loud hoo.
02:19Wah, answered the Baby Seal.
02:21Ebb, you're found her mom, said Flo.
02:24The Baby Seal and her mother played together.
02:26Well done Ebb, said Flo.
02:28Woof, said Ebb.
02:30Wah, hoo, said the seals.
02:32Let's go home, said Mom.
02:34That night, Ebb dreamed of the sea and boats and seals.
02:38Pitter, patter, pitter, patter, pitter, patter, whoosh.
02:40And far away there came a wah, hoo,
02:43but Ebb was fast asleep.
02:45The end.
