Little Miss Greedy: Belle of the Ball




 * [The scene starts with Little Miss Wise trying to fit a dress for Little Miss Greedy.]
 * Little Miss Wise: Come on, Little Miss Greedy. Do make an effort. I've let out all the seams.
 * [Miss Greedy looks at her dress and starts crying.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: It's no use, Little Miss Wise. I simply can't get into my Ball gown.
 * [She walks away.]
 * Narrator: You see what happens when you eat too much?
 * [She opens her handbag and picks up a bun. Miss Wise quickly runs in and snatches the bun off her hand.]
 * Little Miss Wise: No, Little Miss Greedy. You'll never get into your dress if you carry on like that.
 * [Miss Greedy starts crying again and sits on a chair.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: [Whinging] I'll never be able to go to the ball and I do so love this dress.
 * Little Miss Wise: Then go on a diet. I'm sure Doctor Makeyouwell will give you some advice.
 * Little Miss Greedy: A diet?!


 * [In the next scene, Miss Greedy is sat down in Dr. Makeyouwell's room with her handbag.]
 * Dr. Makeyouwell: Right. Tell me what you eat in the day, Little Miss Greedy.
 * Little Miss Greedy: Let's see... For breakfast, I have... a dozen eggs and some bacon; then ten slices of toast, eight buns and, what's done with some hot chocolate--
 * Dr. Makeyouwell: [Interrupting angrily] Now wait a minute!
 * [He bangs his hand on the desk, shaking the pot of pens and giving her a fright.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: And then for lunch...
 * Dr. Makeyouwell: [Covers his ears for a moment.] Stop! Onto the scales!
 * [She steps onto the scales. The meter turns to max and the scales break.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: [Muttering] I think your scales are a little tired.
 * Dr. Makeyouwell: I'm going to draw up a diet programme for you. [Writes on a Note Pad.] All meals are being taken with Mr. Skinny, [Miss Greedy steps off the scales] Exercise to be taken with Little Miss Somersault and if you want to go to the Ball, no more cakes and no more sweets!
 * [She picks up a bag of sweets, only for them to be snatched away from her by the doctor. He wags his finger at her.]
 * Dr. Makeyouwell: And no more sweets!


 * [The next scene shows Little Miss Somersault acrobatically jumping onto a springboard and diving into a pool. She climbs out of the water where Little Miss Greedy is sitting.]
 * Little Miss Somersault: It's your turn now!
 * [Miss Somersault climbs the ladder quickly. Gasping, Miss Greedy climbs the ladder slowly. It wobbles. Miss Somersault is already bouncing on the springboard as soon as she makes it to the top.]
 * Little Miss Somersault: It's quite simple. A few bounces and hop! Off you go!
 * Little Miss Greedy: [Worried] Are you sure?
 * Little Miss Somersault: Absolutely!
 * [She walks back and lets Miss Greedy walk towards the front of the board. She steps onto the back of the board and covers her eyes in fear as Miss Greedy starts bouncing. Miss Greedy ends up bouncing too high and tries to fly. Instead, she falls onto the board and breaks it, sending Miss Somersault flying. She breaks the other board below and falls into the water. The water is splashed so hard that it covers the screen and empties the pool. The camera zooms in on Miss Greedy - whom is sat in the middle of the pool with the flower on her hat pointing downwards and dripping - then it cuts to Miss Somersault, whom is holding onto a handle of a clock near the top of the dome.]


 * [At Mr. Skinny's house, Little Miss Greedy is sat on a table wearing a bib and holding her knife and fork in excitement.]
 * Mr. Skinny: Spaghetti's coming up.
 * Little Miss Greedy: Hurry up, Mr. Skinny. I could eat an ox after all that swimming.
 * [He opens the door and appears holding a towel on one arm and the platter on the other hand.]
 * Mr. Skinny: [Italian voice] Spaghetti to ta tomato a la mi pomitano!
 * Little Miss Greedy: [Excitedly] Ohh... Yum yum yum yum.
 * Mr. Skinny: Ta daa! Which one would you prefer?
 * [He opens the platter. It reveals just two strands of spaghetti with a very small amount of sauce. Her face turns miserable.]
 * Mr. Skinny: And don't tell me I'll give you the biggest one. [Serving the spaghetti.] Go ahead and tuck in. I'll answer that.
 * [She eats the strand with her fork. She takes the other strand from Mr. Skinny's plate and eats it as well. Mr. Skinny arrives with the telephone.]
 * Mr. Skinny: It's Little Miss Somersault for you.
 * [Miss Greedy picks up the phone.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: Hello?
 * Little Miss Somersault: [Over Phone] It's time to go jogging. It will help you lunch go down.
 * [Mr. Skinny gasps as soon as he notices the spaghetti missing on his plate.]
 * Mr. Skinny: I'm so glad to see that you appreciate my cooking.
 * Little Miss Greedy: [Embarrassed and blushes] I'm sorry. I've eaten your spaghetti too.
 * Mr. Skinny: Don't worry. I could never have finished it anyway.


 * [Miss Greedy is walking along the road. Mr. Mischief - with Little Miss Trouble as his passenger - drives past her.]
 * Little Miss Trouble: Well, isn't it that Little Miss Greedy?
 * Mr. Mischief: [Giggling] She's slimming. I don't see any difference.
 * Little Miss Trouble: [Giggles] I bet she won't be able to resist picking some blackberries. I think I have an idea to help her lose weight.
 * [An exhausted Miss Greedy walks towards a bush and tries to catch her breath.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: Why is slimming such hard work?
 * [She notices the blackberries on the bush.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: I know Dr. Makeyouwell wouldn't approve. Oh, never mind.
 * [She picks up and eats some blackberries. Before she can finish...]
 * Little Miss Trouble: Awooo!
 * [...she becomes concerned when a howling noise is heard and nearby bushes are shaking in the distance.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: Oh. What's making that strange noise?
 * Little Miss Trouble: [Spooky slow voice] The big bad wolf. I smell lunch. Awooo!
 * [She rises from the nearby bush with spooky eyes and sharp teeth and waves her hands. This frightens Miss Greedy, causing her to wave her arms too.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: Help me!
 * [She turns round and runs away from the bushes. With Miss Trouble giggling, Mr. Mischief rises from the bushes.]
 * Mr. Mischief: Lost her, Little Miss Trouble?
 * [Miss Trouble turns towards him.]
 * Little Miss Trouble: I think you're right, and it's all thanks to you and your face paint.
 * Mr. Mischief: [Laughs] She'll run, and run, and run!
 * [She continues running, trying to catch her breath.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: Oh... If only... I can reach... Little Miss Wise's house... I'll be safe there...
 * [She desperately bangs on the door of Miss Wise's house.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: Oh... [Whines] Help! Help! Open up! [The door opens] There's a monster chasing me!
 * [Miss Greedy, who appears slimmer than before, runs inside the house and tries to catch her breath. Miss Wise runs in and gasps in amazement.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: But what is it? The monster caught up with me?
 * Little Miss Wise: Oh no. It's amazing.
 * [She points at the size of Little Miss Greedy's body. Miss Greedy takes looks around her new body.]
 * Little Miss Wise: You've lost weight! Now, forget all about the monster and try on your ball dress.


 * [In the next scene, the camera eventually pans to Miss Greedy's dress, which now fits comfortably.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: I will be the Belle of the Ball, after all.
 * [As Miss Wise packs away her equipment, Miss Greedy picks up a bun from her handbag and eats it. The screen fades to black and the credits appear.]
