Twigson Ties the Knot Page #2

that there'd be this much work.

So we need to be careful with our money.

At least until Daddy sells his products.

- The underpants?

- Yes.

- He'll sell them, though.

- Yes.

Twigson's really hungry, because he

has sold a lot today...over a thousand.

- Maybe he should be excused, then?

- Yes, me too, please!

- Are you sure you've had enough?

- Have you had enough, Twigson?

We are bloody full!

- What did you just say?!

- I know how we can make more money.

- It sort of depends on Junior, though.

- Are you going to sell me?

No, we are not going to sell you.

But I've got a job.

- Really?

- Yes, at the grocer's store.

The owner is in a nursing home.

So therefore, her son needs help.

The store is actually the least

of his problems, from what I've heard.

But I'm only helping out around the store,

of course. Full time.

- But. What about us?

- You will have to go with me, Junior.

Maybe you can take

the bus home with Phillip?

- Phillip! We all have to contribute.

- I'm full.

- Then you better excuse yourself.

- May I be excused, please?

- Do you think you could manage, Junior?

- Yes.

It's a great idea! The house turned

out to be so expensive, you know.

But now you and I can work at the store

and make money for a new chimney!

Ouch!

- Watch out.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Howdy, little fellow.

- Here they come.

Thank you.

Check out his hair.

Look, it's the king of bra's!

- Hold still!

- Want me too cut your hair too?

Scissors, anybody?

- Do you have a pair of scissors?

- No.

Take it easy,

his father actually wears a bra.

- Does he?

- No.

Where are we going?

You sit right here. I'll bring your lunch

out in a couple of hours.

- Am I not coming in with you?

-No, kids are not allowed in there.

And silly me didn't tell Mr. Eilertsen

about you. But Twigson's here with you.

I'm sure you'll come up with lots of

things to do. You can go exploring!

Hey, Junior. Did we just get fired?

We can still make money, though. We just

pretend like we don't know your mother.

- Junior!

- I would like my deposit back on these.

Okay.

Here you go.

Let's take this off.

Twigson and I are saving up

money for a new chimney.

That's great.

You better goo back outside. Okay?

Deposit, the possum, deposit

Oh yeah!

Deep in the forest, sneaking around

Sniffing and searching look what I found

Tougher than anyone, looking around

Now you must wait here for Phillip, okay?

Just stay right here. There you are.

Looking for bottles, guess what I found

Which is the wealthiest

animal in the forest?

"The possum it"!

Always slick and smooth,

so proud and stout

Finding bottles everywhere,

so watch out!

Always slick and smooth,

so proud and stout

Finding bottles everywhere,

so watch out!

Sniffing and searching,

sniffing and searching

Wealthiest in the forest!

Be aware of the possum,

he 's here and he 's there

Searching for bottles, he is everywhere

Deep in the forest, sneaking around

Sniffing and searching -

look what I found!

Always slick and smooth,

so proud and stout

Look, Junior.

A whole crate filled with bottles.

Finding bottles everywhere,

so watch out!

Always slick and smooth,

so proud and stout

Be aware of the possum

he 's here and he 's there

Deposit, the possum,

deposit, the possum, deposit!

Wealthiest in the forest...

Look, the crate's been filled back up.

Vivien Luckyboard!

I 've been look in g forward to this movie.

- We should watch that one.

- Yes.

- What animal?

- Is the most wealthy?

- What animal?

- Is the most proud?

- What animal?

- Is the most stout?

- What animal?

- Is slick and smooth?

Be like a possum!

Deposit Boy!

Welcome back

Deposit Boy's been here. He brings

us the same bottles over and over.

I never thought I'd see the day!

- Auntie Everywhere! With a cane?

- Yes, imagine that.

It happened last Thursday. I was on my

way down too Mr. Tupes with his dinner.

And I'd forgotten to feed Reidun's cat.

So there I go,

back and forth, up and down.

But when I had reached

the bottom of the hill -

- I decided to take

the short cut over the brook.

And you know the old root ball

sticking up there, right?

Well, one of the loops on my

boot got caught so I lost my balance!

But do you think. I fell in?

Oh no, not this lady.

I stretched out like an arch

across the brook!

But...

Just as I thought I was safe...

Oops! Twigson told me too do it.

I don't want too see you here

ever again, Deposit Boy.

Let me take him.

I told you not to come inside!

You've been stealing bottles!

I could lose my job over this.

You sit right here!

We were so close to getting busted!

If the clerk had asked me if I knew

your mom, I don't think. I could've lied.

Your mom is good

at keeping secrets, though.

It's stopped raining.

You can get some rest now.

- Where is it?

- At home.

Give us the doll.

- What is this?

- A stick.

This isn't just a regular stick.

This is a soulful piece of wood.

- How does he know that?

- How do you know that?

It's my job.

Too see what's any good.

But you know all about that.

You're a home builder.

- I wanna make a bed for Twigson.

- For Twigson?

- But the nails are too big.

- Really?

Well, we can't just stand here.

Come on.

- I'm not allowed in the store.

- What nonsense!

They can't turn down a customer.

There you go. Take this.

Mom.

I'm a customer.

Is that your soon?

Yes, unfortunately.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

I didn't mean it like that.

- You understood that, right?

- You probably have a husband too, then?

Yes, I do.

Ma'am. Deposit Boy

is welcome at the store.

- Thank. you. Thank you so much.

- Easy now.

- I thought you didn't like kids.

- Well, I'm glad you're here.

Wouldn't it be good for you to get away

for a while? Meet some new people.

- Look at this.

- No.

- I can look after the store for you.

- You're moving quickly.

From Miss to Mrs. in two minutes.

And now you want too take over my store?

Yes. Just like that!

Does this bed seem soulful to you?

- Stop it. I'm studying for a test.

- I'll go show it to somebody else.

Just because he gave us the nails,

doesn't mean it's safe to goo see him.

What if it's a trap? What if he

nails me too the wall? Then what?

- Are you scared?

-No, I'm not scared.

- Are you?

- No.

But what if he gets out

his big saw and starts sawing me?

I bet you'll be scared then. He's probably

out of town. Let's just go home.

Oops. I guess he's home, all right.

- Come on, Junior.

- It's okay.

Let's just thank him for the gift,

and then go back home.

Right. And Twigson too.

- Thank you for the nails.

- Sure.

And then go back home. Go home.

- Bye.

- Don't you want to come inside?

- No!

- Yes, please.

How did you make these?

It's not up to me too decide.

The wood decides.

Just look at it closely,

and it will speak to you.

These two were inside the wood all along.

I just happened too notice them.

I just helped them get out.

- Just like you did with Twigson.
