Aunt Ria, a woman with red wavy hair wearing a white T-shirt and a green striped skirt, is doing yoga in the park. Poppy, a girl with her hair in a braid pulled back with a green headband wearing a green and blue dress, and Chaz, a purple wombat wearing a pink T-shirt, are doing yoga behind Aunt Ria.

Aunt Ria says, THIS NEXT MOVE
IS THE DOWNWARD DOG.

(Chaz makes struggling noises)

Chaz falls on his stomach.

(Poppy giggles)

Poppy says, THAT'S A COOL NEW MOVE, CHAZ!
THE DOWNWARD WOMBAT!

Poppy says, WOAH!

Poppy falls on her stomach.

(Poppy makes a pained groan)

(Poppy and Chaz both giggle)

Aunt Ria stands up and says, IF YOU'RE TOO GIGGLY FOR YOGA,
MAYBE YOU COULD HANG OUT WITH DAVEY.

Davey, a boy wearing glasses and yellow striped T-shirt, and Nani Ji, a woman with grey curly hair wearing a yellow and green patterned dress, walk in the park.

Nani Ji says, HELLO!

Davey says, HI!

Poppy and Chaz look at each other. They get up and twirl towards Davey.

Poppy says, 'COPTER ONE COMING IN TO LAND!

Chaz says, 'COPTER TWO CIRCLING BEHIND!
WANT TO PLAY HELICOPTERS, DAVEY?

Davey says, SURE! BUT LET'S PLAY WITH ONE
THAT CAN REALLY FLY!

Davey takes a red toy helicopter out of a blue backpack.

(Poppy gasps)

Poppy says, IT'S THE SUPER HOPTER COPTER!

Chaz says, WITH SUPER LOOP DE LOOP!

Nani Ji carries a basket and says, HURRY, OR WE'LL MISS OUT
ON A TABLE.

Davey says, AHH! I PROMISED NANI JI
I'D PLAY CHESS WITH HER.
WE'LL HAVE TO FLY IT LATER.
COULD YOU LOOK AFTER IT
WHILE I'M GONE?

(Poppy gasps)

Chaz says, NO PROBLEM!

Davey says, AND DON'T TOUCH IT
UNTIL I COME BACK.
I REALLY WANT US
TO FLY IT TOGETHER.

Davey puts the helicopter down. Davey and Nani Ji leave.

Poppy says, IT'S SOOO COOL!
CAN'T WE FLY IT
JUST A LITTLE BIT?

Chaz says, DAVEY SAID WE HAVE TO WAIT.

Poppy says, AND I KNOW WE SHOULD, BUT I
REALLY WANT TO PLAY WITH IT NOW!
IT'S THE MOST AWESOME TOY EVER!
IT'S SO... SO...
TANTALIZING!

The Sprinklers, small brightly coloured insect-like creatures, say with squeaky voices, TANTALIZING!

A pink bus drives by.

The Sprinkle Fairy, a female fairy with wings, glasses, a yellow crown, grey upswept hair, wearing a purple costume and holding a wand, appears and says,
TANTALIZING IS SOMETHING
THAT'S VERY EXCITING
BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!
YOU KNOW, LIKE THE HELICOPTER
POPPY REALLY WANTS TO PLAY WITH.

(Bell chimes)

Poppy looks at the helicopter and says,
I AM SO TANTALIZED
BY DAVEY'S HELICOPTER!
HOW CAN I STOP
THINKING ABOUT IT?

The Sprinkle Fairy gives Poppy a beach ball and says,
PERHAPS A GAME OF CATCH
WILL KEEP YOU BUSY.
I'D JOIN IN,
BUT I'M LATE FOR A BALLET LESSON
AT HOPPING FROG DANCE ACADEMY!
TOODLES!

The Sprinkle Fairy leaps away.

Poppy bends down and stares at the helicopter.

Chaz says, LET'S STEP AWAY FROM THIS.

Poppy says, GOOD IDEA.

Poppy and Chaz walk away. Poppy carries the beach ball, still looking at the helicopter.

Chaz throws the beach ball. Poppy is not looking.

Chaz says, HMM.

(Chaz chuckles)

Poppy throws the beach ball. It does not reach Chaz.

(Chaz groans)

The beach ball hits Poppy in the face.

(Poppy grunts)

Poppy throws the beach ball at Chaz over his head.

(Chaz yelps)

Poppy says, SORRY! THAT WAS A BAD THROW.

Poppy says to herself,
DON'T LOOK AT THE HELICOPTER.
DON'T LOOK AT THE HELICOPTER!

Poppy turns to look at the helicopter.

Poppy says, BUT IT'S SO TANTALIZING!

Text reads, Tantalizing.

Two Sprinklers are doing yoga. The beach ball rolls over them.

(Sprinklers squeak)

Chaz raises his arm and says,
MAYBE WE SHOULD DO
SOMETHING ELSE?

Chaz folds his arms.

Poppy says, YEAH!

(Small gasp)

Poppy says, CARTWHEELS?!

Poppy spins cartwheels back and forth in the park.

Poppy says, THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!
I FORGOT ALL ABOUT
THE SUPER HOPTER COPTER!
WOW!
IT SPARKLES!

(Chimes ring)

(Chaz gasps)

Chaz says, WATCH OUT!

Poppy says, WHOA!

Poppy knocks over Aunt Ria doing yoga.

Poppy says, SORRY! I WAS LOOKING AT DAVEY'S
TANTALIZING HELICOPTER.

Aunt Ria says, THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP
CARTWHEELING.

Poppy says, OKAY!
I'LL CLIMB THE JUNGLE GYM.
IF I'M A LONG WAY FROM THAT TOY,
THERE’S NO WAY IT CAN TANTALIZE ME.

Poppy swings upside down by her legs on a jungle gym.
She looks through binoculars at the helicopter.

Poppy pushes Chaz on a swing.

(Chaz and Poppy both laugh)

Poppy turns her head to look at the helicopter.

Chaz spins around the top bar of the swing.

Chaz says, WHOAAA!

(Poppy laughs nervously)

Poppy rocks on a spring horse.

Poppy says, ALL I CAN DO IS STARE
AT DAVEY'S SUPER HOPTER COPTER!
WHOOPS! I'D BETTER GET DOWN.
IT'S STILL TOO TANTALIZING.

Two Sprinklers roll by on the beach ball.

Poppy and Chaz are sitting next to the helicopter.

Poppy says, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING
BUT STARE AT IT! IT'S SO HARD.

Chaz says, I'LL PUT IT BACK IN HIS BAG
SO YOU CAN'T SEE IT.

Chaz opens the blue backpack. A remote control falls out. Chaz picks it up.

Chaz says, WOW!
THIS BUTTON IS SOOO BIG
AND GREEN AND SHINY!

Poppy says, CAREFUL! IF YOU PUSH IT,
THE HOPTER COPTER WILL FLY UP
AND DAVEY WILL KNOW
WE PLAYED WITH IT!

Chaz says, I KNOW! I KNOW! BUT...

(Dramatic music)

Chaz jumps up and says, …IT'S TOO TANTALIZING!

Chaz pushes a green button on the remote control. The helicopter does not move.

Poppy and Chaz say, WE BROKE IT!

Davey looks at the helicopter and says, YOU BROKE IT?

Chaz says, SORRY. THE “ON” BUTTON
WAS TOO TANTALIZING.
I HAD TO PRESS IT.

Poppy says, THEN NOTHING HAPPENED.
NOT EVEN A WOBBLE.

Chaz says, OR A CHUF-CHUF-CHUF!

(Davey laughs)

Davey says, NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE I
FORGOT TO PUT THE BATTERIES IN!

Poppy and Chaz say, PHEW!

Davey says, I CAN SEE THIS TOY IS WAY TOO
TANTALIZING FOR YOU TO LEAVE ALONE.
I SUPPOSE YOU CAN FLY IT WITHOUT ME.

(Poppy and Chaz gasp)

Davey says, I'LL COME LATER, AFTER MY GAME.

Poppy and Chaz say, YAY!

Two Sprinklers on the beach ball collide with the blue backpack.

Aunt Ria is doing yoga. The helicopter flies close to her head. Aunt Ria falls on her stomach.

Poppy and Chaz say,
SORRY!

(Aunt Ria laughs)

Poppy says, AUNT RIA! ARE YOU DOING
THE DOWNWARD WOMBAT?!

The helicopter spins in the air.

(Poppy and Chaz laugh)
