(music plays)

A hamster reading a book appears in a circle against a blue slate with the caption "Tumbleweed Presents."

A blue book with the title "Tumbletown Reads" appears. A picture of a street in Tumbletown illustrates the cover.

The book opens and a picture of the book club appears with the name of today’s tale: "Chuffed for a Chinwag."

At the book club, everybody laugh.

A brown hamster says TUMBLEWEED, YOU'RE BEING A
LITTLE CHEEKY.

They all laugh.

Tumbleweed says I'M FEELING
SPAWNY.

They all laugh.

Twiggy says THIS IS QUITE THE CHIN WAG.

They all laugh.

Sal says SOMETHING I SAID, I
DON'T REMEMBER.

Another hamster says WELL, I THINK WE ALL CAN
AGREE THAT THE ADVENTURES OF
CHARLIE CHUFFED IS A JOYOUS ROMP
AND A GREAT READ!

A book with the title "Charlie Chuffed" appears. A hamster with glasses illustrates the cover.

Tumbleweed says I LOVED THAT THE
STORY IS SET IN ENGLAND.
I'M LEARNING ALL KINDS OF FUNNY
NEW WORDS.

Twiggy says OH, PEOPLE SURE DO TALK FUNNY
OVER THERE.

Sal laughs and says YES, YES, SO FUNNY!

The other hamster says OKAY, SO WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER
TALK, UH, I MEAN, CHIN WAG NEXT
WEEK.

They all laugh.

Tumbleweed laughs.

(music plays)

In his red car, Tumbleweed laughs and says A CHIN WAG.
[Laughing]

In his castle, Tumbleweed reads the book and laughs.

He says AH, I LOVE THIS BOOK BUT I DON'T
KNOW WHAT THIS WORD MEANS.
HMM, OH, I KNOW.
I'LL CALL MY EDITOR.
SHE'S ENGLISH.
[Telephone ringing]

Chief says HELLO?

Tumbleweed says OH, HI BOSS.
I'M GLAD I CAUGHT YOU AT WORK.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO
HAVE A "DECO" AT SOMETHING?

Chief says AH, A DECO?
I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT ONE IN
AGES!
IT MEANS TO HAVE A LOOK AT
SOMETHING.

Tumbleweed says OH!
[Laughing]
THAT MAKES SENSE 'CAUSE HE SAYS "I'LL HAVE A DECO AT THIS MAP."
HOW IS MY ACCENT?

Chief says WHY AREN'T YOU AT
WORK?

Tumbleweed laughs.
[Music playing]

At his desk, Tumbleweed says HMM, THIS ISN'T
GOOD.
UH, CHIEF, CHIEF, IT'S AN
EMERGENCY!

Chief says OH, OH, YES,
TUMBLEWEED!

Tumbleweed says WHAT DOES
"CHUNTER" MEAN?

Chief says WHAT, UH, IT MEANS TO
MUMBLE OR TO SPEAK LOW.

Tumbleweed says OKAY, THANK YOU!

Chief says BUT YOU BROUGHT ME OUT
HERE FOR THAT?
[Telephone ringing]

Tumbleweed says CHIEF, WHAT'S A
LOLLIPOP MAN?

At the store, Chief says IT'S A CROSSING GUARD.

Tumbleweed says OH, BECAUSE HIS
SIGN IS LIKE A LOLLIPOP.
YOU PEOPLE ARE SO CLEVER.

Chief says OH!

At the movies, Tumbleweed says CHIEF, WHAT'S A
"CLANGER?"

Chief says OH, IT'S A MISTAKE.
NOW, SHH!
I'M TRYING TO WATCH THE MOVIE.

Chinchilla says CHINCHILLA!

Tumbleweed laughs and says HUH?

At the Editor Awards Gala, Chief says LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I AM DEEPLY MOVED BY...

Chief’s telephone rings.

Tumbleweed says WHAT'S A
"WOBBLER?"

Chief says WELL, IT'S A TANTRUM!

Tumbleweed says CAN YOU USE IT IN
A SENTENCE?

Chief says "THIS EDITOR WILL
THROW A WOBBLER IF HER PHONE
RINGS ONE MORE TIME!"

She hits a sign and says OH, OH, I'VE RUINED THE GALA!

In his bedroom, Tumbleweed says HMM.
I DON'T KNOW THIS WORD.
HMM.
[Telephone ringing]

Chief says UGH!
HELLO.

Tumbleweed says HI CHIEF, WHAT
DOES "WINGEING" MEAN?

Chief says IT'S VERY LATE.

Tumbleweed says OKAY, THANK YOU!

Chief says NO, TUMBLEWEED, I MEAN
IT'S LATE TO BE CALLING.
I'M GOING TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
THIS WORD YOURSELF.
READ THE SENTENCE TO ME.

Tumbleweed says "HE SPENT THE
WHOLE DAY WINGEING ABOUT HIS
JOB."

Chief says AND WHAT IS THE
SENTENCE BEFORE?

Tumbleweed says "UH, CHARLIE DID
NOT LIKE BEING A BRICK LAYER."

Chief says AND THE SENTENCE
AFTER?

Tumbleweed says "HE HAD TO WORK
OUTSIDE IN THE COLD AND THE
RAIN."

Chief says SO, YOU KNOW CHARLIE
DIDN'T LIKE BEING A BRICK LAYER
AND THAT HE WORKED OUT IN THE
RAIN.
SO, IF HE WAS WINGEING ABOUT
HIS JOB, WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE HE
WAS DOING?

Tumbleweed says HE WAS
COMPLAINING?

Chief says VERY GOOD, TUMBLEWEED.
WINGEING MEANS COMPLAINING.
NOW, IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND A
WORD, IT OFTEN HELPS TO READ
AROUND IT.
THAT MEANS READING WHAT COMES
BEFORE AND AFTER THE WORD YOU
DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Tumbleweed says RIGHT, READ
AROUND THE WORD TO FIGURE OUT
ITS MEANING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ADV...
[Dial tone]

Chief sighs and hangs up.

Tumbleweed says HELLO?
CHIEF?
HMM, MUST BE A BAD CONNECTION.
I SHOULD CALL HER TO SAY THANKS.
[Telephone ringing]

Chief says HELLO, YOU HAVE
REACHED THE PERSONAL VOICE MAIL
OF THERESA THE EDITOR.

Chief says IF THIS IS ANYONE
OTHER THAN TUMBLEWEED, PLEASE
CALL BACK ANOTHER TIME OR LEAVE
A MESSAGE.

Tumbleweed says HMM, VOICE MAIL?
I'LL JUST CALL HER AGAIN.

The book closes and the caption "The end" appears.

The TVO Kids logo appears.
