My name is Miss Koala.
What have you done with Mr. Owl?
Oh, blow me down. You're wondering what's happened. Mr. Owl got called away last night on a family matter.
But, when will he be back?
Soon enough, I'm sure. Until then, I'll be your substitute teacher.
I must say, class, that this chalk drawing is a lovely surprise. Thank you all very much.
Franklin did the drawing of you, Mr. Owl.
And a fine likeness it is, Snail.
Thanks for being such a great teacher.
Yeah, we're all kind of sad the school year's over, right guys? [Badger and Goose nod and the bell rings off-screen] [excited] Whoo-hoo! School's out! [grabs her pink backpack] Last one to the bus is a rotten egg.
Yahoo!
Let's go!
Yay!
One moment, please! [Franklin, Bear and Beaver stopped running and turned to Mr. Owl] Everyone have a wonderful summer.
You too, Mr. Owl.
See ya (next school year)!
I think they're done, Harriet. [on-screen when he and Harriet are roasting marshmallows] Now you have to cool them off.
I officially declare our annual end of summer barbecue a success.
I can't believe summer's over.
Yeah, I didn't do nothing.
That's "I didn't do anything."
Whatcha doing?
We're tidying up the garden.
Soon we'll put it to bed for the winter. [dumps the leaves in the bag]
It is sleepy?
You can say that. It's worked hard all summer and now it needs some rest.
Why don't you help us?
Uh-uh. Wanna play with Beatrice.
Beatrice can't come over, Harriet. She starts school today, [off-screen] remember?
Then who'll play with me?
We can after our chores.
No! What kid (will play with me)?
My name is Miss Koala.
What have you done with Mr. Owl?
My name's Franklin, not Turtle.
Dinkum. I'm sorry. Any other surprises?
Australia looks like a weird place.
Not weird, Snail. Just different.
Tell us more, Miss Koala.
Dinkum. Okay, what do you want to know?
Well, first... what does "dinkum" mean?
Miss Koala asked us to give you this.
A book about soccer?
She thought you could be our new coach, Mr. Owl.
Me? A soccer coach? Well, I don't know, class. I've never done anything like this before.
But you don't know unless you try, Mr. Owl.
Good point, good point.
Well, it looks likes I'll be going back to school too. Speaking of which, we'd best get to work. Does anyone mind it I...
I'll do it for you, Mr. Owl.
Why, thank you, Franklin.
Goodbye, Miss Koala.
