# Everywhere I go

# The whole wide world is smiling at me
# Oh oh oh
# Everybody's singing now
# Ba ba ba-ba ba-ba... #
Oh!
# Ba ba ba-ba ba-ba-ba... #
Nanna!

(OLD DOG PANTS) (ALL GIGGLE)
(BIRDS CHIRP)
(BARKS) Nanna, where's me breakfast?
(GROANS) Looks like I gotta hunt me own tucker now.
Sometimes you just gotta do things for yourself.
So, what else have I got in my collection, B Boy?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Feathers from all different birds.
Feathers.
Budgerigar, magpie.
Emu? Don't have an emu feather. Not yet.
Little J, bet I can beat you. Bet you don't!
See you after school, B Boy.
Beating you, Big Cuz! No way!
(WHIMPERS)
This morning we're talking about food -
healthy foods, favourite foods.
Little kids, you'll be cutting out pictures of food.
And big kids, you'll be writing up recipes.
I'll get Nanna's recipe for spaghetti bolognaise.
So, who can tell me what's your favourite food?
Whistle sandwich with tomato sauce.
Juicy watermelon on a hot day.
(GASPS) Bush tucker, that's my favourite.
Oh, I don't even know what bush tucker is.
Where do you get it? From the bush.
And what exactly do you get from the bush, Little J?
Uh, berries, emu eggs, honey ants.
You've got to know the bush
and you've got to be a really, really good tracker,
like me, or you can't find any bush tucker at all.
So, you can draw pictures
of your favourite bush tucker, then, Little J.
(GASPS) I know, I know, I know!
I'm going to find you some bush tucker, Ms Chen, for homework.
You've got to try it. Yeah, you'll love it.
It's yummy. You know what I'm going to do?
Go tracking straight after school
and I'm going to find enough bush tucker for all of us!
(ALL CHEERING)
I'm going to track that bush tucker for you now, Ms Chen.
It's OK if you just want to tell us
about bush tucker tomorrow, Little J.
Get us some emu eggs. They're my favourite.
And some honey ants.
(CHUCKLES) Bush tucker for all of us?
Reckon Little J could find that much?
Course he can. He's my cuz.
Aw, yum! Do I smell spaghetti bolognaise, Nanna?
Yeah, and there's plenty. And guess what?
I'm writing the recipe for spaghetti bolognaise for homework.
Nanna, don't need to cook spaghetti.
Gonna track enough bush tucker for the mob at school and for our feed.
(CHUCKLES) Is that right?
Ask Nanna to help you with your tracking, Little J.
Don't need any help. Good luck, Little J.
Don't need any luck!
Stay close to the back fence!
What's worrying you, Big Cuz?
Don't even think he knows how to find bush tucker.
Don't want the kids to laugh at him.
So, you keep an eye on him, my girl, from a distance.
Gotta look for tracks, Old Dog. Animal tracks.
Oh, no. What's he doing?
Little J's never going to find bush tucker that way.
(GASPS) Look, Old Dog - tracks! Animal tracks!
All I gotta do now is follow 'em. Come on, Old Dog, this way.
Huh? How did I get back here?
How's that tracking going, Little J? Got any bush tucker?
I tracked a real big animal all the way back here,
but must've got away.
Maybe now you need some help, Little J?
Oh!
Nanna, can you help me track the big animal, please?
See, Nanna? Big animal footprint.
Hmm...looks like shoe print.
But I was tracking a big animal!
(LAUGHS) Animals don't wear shoes!
(LAUGHS)
Aw, the big animal I was tracking was me!
(ALL LAUGH)
Aw, but Nanna, I gotta take bush tucker to school.
What am I gonna do?
Little J, I'm gonna show you proper way.
Kangaroo tracks.
But they stop. What are you gonna do, Nanna?
Shh. Watch.
Wow! Kangaroo!
Echidna tracks.
(LAUGHS) (LAUGHS)
Shh. Look.
(GASPS) Echidna!
Your turn, Little J.
Go on, Little J. You know proper way now.
Hmm.
Emu tracks!
(OLD DOG SNIFFS)
Emus!
Whoa! Emu eggs!
Little J, don't touch 'em with your hands
or emu might not come back to hatch the rest.
And you always leave some behind.
You done pretty well today, Little J.
Thanks for showing me proper way, Nanna.
Now, you put all of that in the shed.
We don't want ants crawling all over the house.
Nanna, gonna shut the shed door, keep the bush tucker safe.
Good idea, Little J.
(SNIFFS) Hey, goanna, get out of my backyard.
(GROWLS)
(BARKS)
(CHUCKLES) I showed him who's boss.
(SNIFFS)
(BARKS)
There you go, Old Dog - breakfast.
(BARKS) Good on ya, Nanna,
but I'm not barking for breakfast.
There's a big goanna 'round here. (BARKS)
Yeah! Time to take all my bush tucker to school!
(BARKS)
Thief! Thief! Thief!
Thief? What do you mean, Little J?
All the bush tucker's been stolen!
Tracks. Goanna tracks.
(BARKS)
Greedy goanna ate all my bush tucker.
Bush tucker?
There is no bush tucker, B Boy. Now I got nothing for Ms Chen.
BIG CUZ: But you can still tell her all about tracking.
(INHALES DEEPLY) I tried and I tried!
You know proper way now, Little J.
You saw goanna tracks right away.
Sad? Yeah, Little J's real sad.
How can we make him feel better?
Plan! You got a plan, B Boy?
Me, too. Nanna, I'm gonna need your help.
Did you find me some emu eggs, Little J?
Yeah. No.
You alright, Little J? I've got no bush tucker.
I mean, I did get some, but goanna stole it.
So, I've got nothing. Sorry. (SOBS)
Collection.
Looks like your friend B Boy's
brought something precious of yours, Little J.
Want to tell us all about it?
So, you've gotta remember - animals don't wear shoes.
You look for paw prints, like Nanna showed me.
So, that's how I know that greedy goanna ate my homework.
But how did you know, Little J?
I tracked him proper way and I saw him slinking off.
He knew I was mad at him, so he was too scared to stick around.
But goannas gotta eat, too. (STOMACH GRUMBLES)
Was that your tummy, Sissy? (CHUCKLES)
I didn't have any breakfast 'cause I love bush tucker.
(CHUCKLES) Just like goanna.
(BOTH SNIFF)
Nanna's spaghetti bolognaise. Who wants some Italian tucker?
KIDS: Aw, yeah! Tucker.
KIDS: Yay! Thanks, Nanna.
You're the best cuz ever!
And I wrote out Nanna's spaghetti recipe
if anyone wants to make it.
(SNIFFS) Hmm, looks like I gotta hunt me own tucker...again.
(SNIFFS)
Ugh. Nothing, not even a mouldy old crust.
(SNIFFS) Smells real good!
Any for me? Hmm? (BARKS)
There you go, Old Dog.
(BARKS) Wacko. Thanks, little fella.
You see, sometimes you gotta know when to ask.
