Gardening

Narrator: Peppa and George are playing at Granny Pig and Grandpa Pig’s house.

Peppa Pig: Grandpa, catch.

Grandpa Pig: Ho-ho-ho-ho, catch.

Grandpa Pig: What’s this?

George: Dinosaur. Grrr.

Grandpa Pig: A dinosaur? Ho-ho-ho-ho.

Peppa Pig: Grandpa, what are you doing?

Grandpa Pig: I’m planting these seeds.

Peppa Pig: Seeds? What are seeds for?

Grandpa Pig: Seeds grow into plants.

Grandpa Pig: I just dig a little hole and put the seed in. Then I cover it with earth and water it.

Grandpa Pig: Everything in my garden grows from tiny seeds like these.

Peppa Pig: Even the big apple tree?

Grandpa Pig: Oh, yes. These tiny seeds will grow into a little apple tree like this.

Peppa and George: Oo-oo-oo.

Grandpa Pig: And that little apple tree will grow into a big apple tree like this.

Grandpa Pig: Ouch!

Grandpa Pig: And inside this apple are more seeds.

Peppa Pig: To make more apple trees.

Grandpa Pig: Exactly.

Peppa Pig: Grandpa, Grandpa, I want to plant a seed.

Grandpa Pig: Would you like to plant a strawberry seed?

Peppa Pig: Yes, please.

Grandpa Pig: This seed will grow into a lovely strawberry plant.

Grandpa Pig: I just make a little hole.

Peppa Pig: Then I put the seed in and cover it with earth.

Grandpa Pig: Shall I water it for you?

Peppa Pig: No, no. I want to water it.

Grandpa Pig: Good. Now we wait for it to grow.

Narrator: Peppa and George are waiting for the seed to grow.

Peppa Pig: It’s not doing anything.

Grandpa Pig: Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho. You have to be patient, Peppa. It will take a long time to grow.

Mummy Pig: Peppa, George, it’s time to go home.

Peppa Pig: But we’re waiting for my strawberry plant to grow. I wanted strawberries for tea.

Grandpa Pig: Don’t worry, Peppa. Next time you come, the seed will have grown into a plant.

Peppa Pig: And we’ll have strawberries!

Grandpa Pig: Yes.

Mummy Pig: Come on, Peppa.

Peppa Pig: Bye-bye, Grandpa. Bye-bye, strawberry.

Narrator: Grandpa Pig looks after Peppa’s strawberry plant. After many days Grandpa Pig finds a tiny plant growing. Day by day the plant grows bigger and bigger. Then, one day, Grandpa Pig finds something very special.

Grandpa Pig: Strawberries!

Peppa Pig: Grandpa, we’re back.

Narrator: Peppa and George have come to play again.

Peppa Pig: Grandpa, Grandpa, did my plant grow?

Grandpa Pig: Yes, look.

Peppa Pig: Strawberries!

Peppa Pig: Thank you, Grandpa.

Peppa Pig: Grandpa, can we plant something else?

Grandpa Pig: Yes, now it’s George’s turn to choose.

Peppa Pig: Yes, you choose, George. Choose...a carrot.

Peppa Pig: Grandpa, I think George wants to grow carrots.

Grandpa Pig: George, would you like to grow a carrot?

George: No.

Grandpa Pig: What would you like to grow?

Narrator: George has thought of something he wants to grow.

George: Dinosaur.

Narrator: George wants to grow a dinosaur tree.

Peppa Pig: Silly George. Dinosaurs don’t grow on trees.

George: Dinosaur. Grrr.
