Come children. On your way to school.

- Good morning mother Goose.

- Good morning.

Here you are, balloons. All colors

of the rainbow.

Boys! Boys!

Oh these kids will be the death of me.

Bo Peep.

I'm coming mother.

Oh you children will be the death of me.

Ah mother, do you really mean that?

Of course I don't.

Now you run right along and tend to

your sheep.

And don't go losing them again.

I won't.

Come on fleecy, come on curly,

come on wooly.

How do you do my dear Mrs. Peep.

How do you do, Mr. Barnaby?

And how is your charming daughter,

Ms. Bo Peep?

Very well thank you.

Then, may I be permitted to pay

my respects?

Sorry, but she's out tending her sheep.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good morning my pretty little butterfly.

Good morning Mr. Barnaby!

I bring you a little bouquet..

A fragrant token of my deep devotion.

Thank you very much Mr. Barnaby.

And now I have to leave you sir.

My.. my sheep..

Nay!

I have long admired you.

Deep with wonder on your sweet and

maidenly virtue.

Marveled at your tender loveliness.

In short..

I'm asking you to become my wife.

I..

I'm sorry Mr. Barnaby..

and I hope you won't think me ungrateful..

- but..

- I'm a very rich man my dear.

Please!

Think carefully, child.

Lest I revert to other means.

That would be an ugly way to win

a pretty wife.

I wouldn't marry you if you were young,

which you can't be..

if you were honest, which you never were..

and if you were about to die tomorrow

which is too much to hope for.

We shall meet again my pretty little

buttercup.

And then you will sing a different tune.

Fleecy, Curly!

I came back to remind you that your

little financial obligation..

You mean the mortgage?

is due today.

Couldn't you give me just a little

more time?

I'm sorry. The law must take it's course.

I shall be back.. shortly.

Come boys.

You'll be late for work.

We're coming.

Good morning, mother Peep.

Good morning, Ollie!

Will you come on. It's almost 8 O'clock.

Why, I thought I left you upstairs

in the bedroom.

You did.

Well how'd you get down here?

I fell out the window.

Good morning mother Peep.

God morgen Stannie.

Good morning Ollie.

God morgen Stan.. never mind good

morning.

Come on and let's go!

Wait a minute. I forgot something.

I'll be right down.

Will you come on. Do you want us to

be late for work?

Don't forget your lunch, Ollie.

What's the matter, mother Peep?

I've got bad news for you.

Bad news?!

I'm afraid you two boys will have to

find some other place to live.

Well what do you mean?

That old stingely Barnaby holds the

mortgage against this shoe.

It's due today..

and I haven't got the money to pay him.

And we'll all be cast out into the

street.

Stannie. Go upstairs and get my

money box.

Eh?

Go get my money box.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to give you all of my

savings.

And I'll get the rest of it from our

master the toy maker.

No ones going to throw you out of

this shoe.

Oh I can't let you do such a thing.

Tut, tut, tut, tarut!

One good turn deserves another.

Now smile!

That's it.. that's it.

I owe you 1.48. Stannie Dum

I borrowed it.

I know you borrowed it.

But what did you borrow it for?!

Well you see I had to buy some

more Pee wees.

I lost three of them playing

with little Jack Horner.

Had to buy some more Pee Wees.

Well don't you mind, Mother Peep..

I'll get the full amount from the

toy maker.

Oh you boys musn't go into debt

on my account.

Listen, when the toy maker finds out

that Barnaby's up to his old tricks again..

he'll give me the full amount without

any problem.

Oh, can I depend on that?

Why of course you can.

You know the toy maker and I are

just like that.

Aren't we, Stannie?

Are you?

Why certainly.

Hvem af jer?

- Which is you?

- Why this one right.. never mind!

- Good bye.

- Good bye.

Don't forget your lunch.

And don't you worry.

No I won't.

Good bye boys.

Just a moment.

What is this Pee Wee business you've

been spending all my money on?

Would you like to see it?

Well certainly I'd like to see it. After

all the money it's cost me..

I think I'm entitled to know what

it's all about.

Alright, look.

What do you think of that?

Piffle!

That's the silliest thing I have

ever seen.

Try it.

I don't want to try it!

Why, can't you do it?

Well certainly I can.

What do you mean, can't I do it..

Give me that!

Get over there.

It's a certainty that anything you

can do.. I can do!

Uh uh!

What for instance?

Here!

Just a moment!

Thank you!

Come on, we'll be late for work.

Say listen.. when you get that money

from the toy maker..

will you borrow a little extra for me?

What for?

Well I lost me Pee Wee and I'll

have to get some more.

Get in here now, will you.

Pee Wee!

Good morning, master.

What do you mean, good morning?!

You know you're half an hour late!

If this happens again, it will mean

instant dismissal.

Get to work!

Say, aren't you gonna ask him about

the money to pay off the mortgage?

I can't ask him now. Don't you see

what a bad humor he's in.

Well if we don't get that money, Mother

Peep's gonna be turned out of the shoe and..

she won't have any place to sleep.

We can't let her do that.

Why if I ask him now, he'll jump

right down my throat.

But I thought you and he were just

like that.

We are!

Well why don't you ask him?

Why don't you ask him?

Well I can't ask him.

Why?

Well he and I are just like that.

Oh, don't be silly.

He likes you better than he does me.

Does he?

Yep. He told me he did!

- Did he?

- Yeah!

Oh master.

What?

Ollie wants to speak to you.

Well, what is it?

Well could I speak to you privately

please sir?

I've got a very important question I

want to ask you.

Don't bother me now!

Can't you see that I'm busy?! Go

on with your work!

Well if you knew how important it was,

you'd see me privately because if..

Will you shut up and go on with your

work!

Fleecy.. fleecy!

Wooly.. snowball?!

No, I haven't seen them!

Oh, Tom Tom.

I don't know what mother would do

if they were really lost.

Oh, don't worry.

They'll be found.

You've lost them before, haven't you?

Matter of fact, last month you lost

them five times!

Oh I couldn't have.

Yes you did.

And four times the month before that!

You see, you're getting worse.

What you need is someone to help you

look after the darn things.

Who, for instance?

Oh, he'd have to be most unusual.

Energetic..resourceful..

and with any amount of patience.

A fellow sort of..well..

Like me!

Not interested?

Not even a little bit?

Then I'll just keep you there until

you are interested!

- Nice? Interested?

- Uh huh.

Oh look Tom Tom, they found them!

You should hang your head you

naughty sheep.

My dear friends..

and citizens of Toyland.

I want you all to meet..

The future Mrs. Piper!

Hello mister toy maker.

Well, how's my order coming along?

Everything is in fine shape.

- Good.

- Are you coming in?

Yes, just a moment.

Alright. I won't forget you. Now
