00:00Today, Rupert finds that some pies are not only good to eat, in Rupert and Little Jumping
00:15Jones.
00:45Rupert the Bell, everyone sing his name, Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join, in all
00:58of his game.
01:06Rupert, Hodgie and Edward are getting ready for their school play, Cinderella.
01:11Oh, cries Mrs. Bear delightedly as she comes into the room, you do look nice, Rupert, just
01:20like Prince Charming.
01:23At your service, ma'am, says Rupert, bowing low.
01:27And you both make a lovely pair of ugly sisters, she chuckles, for Pudgie is wearing the head
01:34of a mop as a wig of hair, and Edward is wearing one of Mrs. Bear's old hats.
01:39Don't worry, I'll answer it, and she bustles out of the room.
01:45Do you think I should have one of those black beauty spots?
01:48Pudgie asks.
01:49Look.
01:50Look.
01:52It would look funnier on the end of your nose, giggles Rupert.
01:57Mrs. Bear returns.
01:58I'm afraid I've got bad news for you.
02:04Poor Margot is ill, and can't play Cinderella in the school play this afternoon.
02:10I know.
02:11I'll ring Rosalie.
02:12She'd make a lovely Cinderella, says Pudgie eagerly, dashing towards the telephone.
02:19Rupert is doubtful.
02:21Well, I suppose she'd do.
02:24Oh, yes.
02:26I'm sure she'd be very good, says Mrs. Bear optimistically.
02:31But Pudgie sadly returns.
02:34She can't play the part either, he sighs.
02:38What shall we do now?
02:40Well, I'll go and look for someone, says Rupert, charging towards the door.
02:45Aren't you going to change first, cries Mrs. Bear.
02:50Rupert flies sadly back over the common.
02:53He has asked every girl in Nutwood, but none of them are able to play Cinderella that afternoon.
03:00Suddenly he spies Bill below, and rapidly descends.
03:05Maybe he knows someone.
03:07And Rupert lands beside him.
03:10I know.
03:11Why don't we go to Rhyme Land, suggests Bill.
03:15There are lots of girls there.
03:18Wizardy whiz, what a great idea, cries Rupert eagerly.
03:22Quick, hop into the chariot.
03:26And whee, they're off.
03:32Over the common hurtle the two, and over lands that are both strange and new.
03:38Rupert travels exceedingly fast, until Rhyme Land is reached at long last.
03:44Look, there's Jack and Jill going up the hill to fetch a pail of water, cries Bill.
03:52Let's ask Jill.
03:54Rupert and Bill land beside them.
03:57Hello, Jack.
03:58Hello, Jill.
03:59Would you like to come and play Cinderella in our play this afternoon, Jill?
04:03Oh, sighs Jill.
04:06I'd like to, but Jack can't manage the pail without me.
04:12Rupert, look.
04:13There's a little girl over there, says Bill, pointing excitedly.
04:17That's little Polly Flinders, who sat among the cinders, warming her pretty little toes.
04:24Hello, Polly.
04:26Would you like to play Cinderella in our school play?
04:30Who's Cinderella?
04:31Asks Polly.
04:33Rupert shows her his book.
04:34She's a girl who lives with her two ugly sisters.
04:39And poor Cinderella has to do all the work, says Bill.
04:44One day, Prince Charming gives a party, and he asks everyone to come.
04:50But Cinderella hasn't got a party dress, so she can't go, Rupert continues.
04:55When suddenly, her fairy godmother appears,
04:59and magics her a dress and a pair of glass slippers,
05:02so she can go to the party after all.
05:05But her fairy godmother tells her she must leave at midnight,
05:08because the magic will finish then.
05:11Well, Cinderella is having such a lovely time,
05:15she forgets she has to leave before midnight.
05:18The clock chimes, and she runs away, just in time.
05:22But she leaves one of her glass slippers behind.
05:26Prince Charming wants to know who she is,
05:28so he searches far and wide for the girl who can wear the glass slipper.
05:32But it's not until he reaches the very last house that he meets Cinderella again.
05:38Look!
05:38She looks down at her dirty hands and her dirty dress,
05:48and her even dirtier feet,
05:50and shakes her head.
05:52I'm afraid I'd make Cinderella's party dress all dirty.
05:58Anyway, my feet are cold.
06:02Both Rupert and Bill are really dejected now.
06:05Rupert is puzzled.
06:08Where has everyone gone?
06:11He demands, looking desperately around.
06:14Whatever shall we do?
06:17Hello, hello, cries a cheerful voice.
06:20And what's the matter with Rupert and Bill this morning?
06:24You look as if you'd lost a pound and found a penny.
06:28So Rupert tells Humpty all about it, between wobbles.
06:33I know just the person, declares Humpty triumphantly.
06:37Little jumping Joan, he shouts.
06:40And a little girl leaps over the wall.
06:44Hello, Humpty.
06:45She would make an excellent Cinderella.
06:49Oh, no.
06:51I don't think she'd do.
06:53Cinderella is a hard-working girl who doesn't have time to jump.
06:58Look out, cries Joan.
07:01Rupert moves aside, just in time.
07:04Oh, don't worry about her jumping, chuckles Humpty.
07:08We can soon cure that.
07:10All you have to do is woo-woo-woo!
07:12And Humpty just manages to save himself.
07:17Oh, to do is, uh, take her to see little Jack Horner for a slice of his Christmas pie.
07:24If she eats that, she won't be able to jump for ages.
07:28Why ever not?
07:29Asks Bill.
07:30It's so heavy and rich, you see.
07:33Humpty explains.
07:34There she is, Rupert.
07:36Quick, after her.
07:38Rupert and Bill set off in pursuit.
07:40Oh, oh, I suppose she's better than nothing, puffs Rupert, over the gate.
07:52And by the time Rupert and Bill catch up with her, they're completely puffed out.
07:57Oh, uh, excuse me, pants Rupert.
08:00And he quickly explains between puffs.
08:04Little Jack Horner is sitting in the corner, eating his Christmas pie, as Rupert, Bill and Joan come in.
08:11Hello, Rupert.
08:12Oh, I beg your pardon.
08:13Prince Rupert, would you like a plum?
08:16He says, pleased to see them.
08:18Please, can little Jumping Joan have a whole slice?
08:22Rupert asks.
08:22It's to stop her bouncing up and down, you see, he explains.
08:27Why, of course, says little Jack Horner, only too pleased to share.
08:33What a good boy am I.
08:36And it works.
08:39That's funny, says the little girl, surprised.
08:42I can't jump.
08:44Little Jumping Joan acts very well indeed, and the play is a great success.
08:53Everyone in the cast has been invited to tea with Rupert after the show.
08:58Mrs. Bear has prepared a great spread.
09:01Ahem.
09:03My lord, sir, ladies and gentlemen, and your highness, he adds, bowing at Rupert.
09:08I should like to thank little Jumping Joan for her excellent performance.
09:12And I should like you to accept these glass slippers as a keepsake
09:17to remind you of the time that you played Cinderella.
09:21Little Jumping Joan is delighted.
09:24Oh, thank you.
09:25They are pretty.
09:27And I would like to say how much I enjoyed Edward and Poggy's performances of the Ugly Sisters.
09:33I haven't laughed so much for ages.
09:36Oh, look.
09:38These glass slippers fit perfectly.
09:40And I feel just like bouncing, cries little Jumping Joan.
09:45Oh, no, groans Rupert, as the little girl leaps over the table, out of the window,
09:52and in great leaps and bounds, jumps gaily all the way to Rhymeland.
09:59Goodness gracious me.
10:01She's always jumping, Rupert explains.
10:04Except when she's had a slice of little Jack Horner's pie, chuckles Bill.
10:09Pie? Did I hear someone say pie?
10:12Cries Poggy.
10:14Ugly sisters can't eat pie.
10:17Think of your figure, giggles Rupert.
10:19Rupert.
10:32Rupert, Rupert de Bell, everyone's telling his name.
10:39Rupert, Rupert de Bell, everyone's come and join in all of his name.
10:48Rupert, Rupert, Rupert de Bell, everyone's come and join in all of his game.
11:00Rupert.
11:06Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, R
