A Very Happy Day for Mr. Happy




 * [At Misterland, the sun rises and the cockerel crows. Mr. Happy is seen sleeping in bed.]
 * Narrator: Some people don't like getting out of bed early in the morning. They would much rather turn over and go back to sleep, but not Mr. Happy.
 * Mr. Happy: What a lovely day! I'm not going to waste it lying in bed!
 * [Mr. Happy's alarm clock rings too much it gets exhausted.]
 * Mr. Happy: [To the clock] Come on! Wake up, sleepyhead!


 * [Mr. Happy is walking down the street.]
 * Narrator: Everyone greeted Mr. Happy with a big smile. Everyone except Miss Greedy. She wasn't happy.
 * [Little Miss Greedy is standing outside the bakery with a sad expression.]
 * Mr. Happy: Morning, Miss Greedy. What a lovely day!
 * Little Miss Greedy: No it isn't. [He is startled.] The cake shop has run out of cream buns.
 * Mr. Happy: It's really too bad about Miss Greedy but I'm sure everyone else in Misterland is hap-hap-happy!
 * [Mr. Jelly appears scared.]
 * Narrator: Everyone except Mr. Jelly.
 * Mr. Happy: Isn't it a lovely day, Mr. Jelly?
 * Mr. Jelly: No! [Mr. Happy becomes alarmed] It's an awful day! I looked in the mirror this morning. [Jitters]
 * Mr. Happy: But Mr. Jelly, that was only your reflection in the mirror.
 * Mr. Jelly: Doesn't matter who's reflection it was. That was very scary. I'm still shaking... like a jelly!
 * Mr. Happy: [Angrily] What's happened to Misterland? On a lovely summer day like this everyone should be bright and cheerful.
 * [He comes across an upset Little Miss Neat.]
 * Mr. Happy: Good day, Miss Neat. What a charming hat!
 * Little Miss Neat: Never mind my hat, it is not a good day. Mr. Messy visited me last night and now my house is a mess. [Mr. Happy is even more alarmed] As you know, Mr. Happy. When my house isn't neat and tidy I am not a happy person.
 * Narrator: And neither was Mr. Happy.
 * [He has a miserable expression.]
 * Narrator: Because this day which has started out so well, was becoming quite a sad day.
 * [Still upset, he is sat on the table with his lunch prepared.]
 * Narrator: By lunchtime Mr. Happy was feeling just a little unhappy. No, not just a little, [His expression widens] he was feeling very unhappy. And before long, everyone in Misterland knew Mr. Happy was very sad.
 * [A crowd of worrried Mr. Men and Little Miss are gathered round the street.]
 * Mr. Uppity: We must do something for our friend.
 * Mr. Small: [Appears from the middle of the crowd] Leave it to me! I know just the person to help us: Dr. Makeyouwell!


 * [Mr. Small appears on Dr. Makeyouwell's desk.]
 * Mr. Small: We're all very fond of Mr. Happy, and can't bear seeing him so unhappy. What can we do?
 * [The doctor picks up his pen and starts writing.]
 * Dr. Makeyouwell: This prescription will solve your problem, Mr. Small.
 * Mr. Small: Oh thank you, Doctor. I'll take it to Mr. Happy right now.
 * Dr. Makeyouwell: [Wags finger] Oh no, Mr. Small. This prescription is not for Mr. Happy. It's for all his friends.
 * [Mr. Small reads the prescription. He is then seen back on the street showing it to the crowd.]
 * Mr. Small: It's Mr. Happy who needs help, but Dr. Makeyouwell's prescription is for all of us. We must follow these instructions exactly.


 * [The next scene shows an unhappy Mr Happy in bed.]
 * Narrator: The next morning, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, but poor Mr. Happy, [He hides under the duvet] he was as sad as ever.
 * [The doorbell rings. Mr. Happy opens the door and sees Little Miss Greedy holding a bag of buns.]
 * Little Miss Greedy: Hello, Mr. Happy. I brought you some buns [Make slurping noises.]
 * [Cheerful music plays, Mr. Happy, who has a small smile now, tries a bun, but becomes surprised as he notices Mr. Jelly waving across the window and holding two fishing rods.]
 * Mr. Jelly: Hello, Mr. Happy. How about you and me going fishing?
 * [Mr. Happy turns to Mr. Jelly and smiles even more. Another door opens to Mr. Happy's surprise. Little Miss Neat has opened this door and is holding a bunch of flowers.]
 * Little Miss Neat: It took no time at all to get my house neat and tidy again, so I've come to make your house neat for you!
 * [She pops the bunch of flowers in Mr. Happy's vase. Mr. Small appears through his front door now.]
 * Mr. Small: Dr. Makeyouwell told us-- how to cure your sadness.
 * [--at that point, he swings the front door wide open to reveal a crowd of Mr. Men and Little Miss cheering on Mr. Happy. He then reads the prescription out loud.]
 * Mr. Small: A smile, and a friendly greeting are the only medicines Mr. Happy needs.
 * [Mr. Happy has a bigger smile. The people celebrate again.]
 * Little Miss Tiny: Have a happy day!
 * Mr. Men: Have a lovely day, Mr. Happy!
 * Little Miss Star: Have a simply splendid day!
 * [The camera cuts to Mr. Happy.]
 * Narrator: And so, surrounded by his many good friends and cheered by their greeting, Mr. Happy smiled a little more... [We hear Mr. Happy start laughing] and he chuckled, and then, he laughed out loud!
 * [The camera cuts to everyone else laughing too.]
 * Narrator: Mr. Happy was having a very hapy day indeed!
 * [The camera zooms out to Mr. Happy's house and then to the whole of Misterland. The screen fades to black and the credits appear.]
