Little Miss Stubborn Goes Right to the Bitter End




 * Narrator: Today, Little Miss Stubborn has invited Little Miss Brainy and Mr. Greedy over to her house for some hot chocolate.
 * Little Miss Brainy: Mmm... delicious [chuckles] I... don't suppose you know how chocolate is made?
 * Mr. Greedy: [Puts his cup down] No... [Laughs] It's really good eh?
 * Little Miss Brainy: Well, you see, chocolate is made from the sea of a cocoa tree which comes from Mexico.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: [Angrily] How did you know that, Little Miss Brainy?
 * Little Miss Brainy: I just do. That's all.
 * Mr. Greedy: [Looking at the box] Look. It's a competition. What's the smallest island in the world?
 * Little Miss Brainy: It's Teeny Island.
 * Mr. Greedy: [Writing on the box] How big is it?
 * Little Miss Brainy: It's 2 metres long and 1 metre wide.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: Are you sure of that?
 * Little Miss Brainy: Certain. [Moves off her chair] You can go check if you like.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: Alright then, I will! [Also moves off her chair]
 * Little Miss Brainy: But it is 12,000 miles away.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: That won't stop me!
 * Little Miss Brainy: And don't forget to take a ruler!


 * Pilot: [On Loudspeaker] All passengers for Teeny Island, your flight is now parting.
 * [Little Miss Stubborn walks towards the plane whilst holding a ruler. The Pilot waves to her as she makes her way up the stairs to the plane's cockpit. The plane takes off.]


 * [It is bright and sunny on the beach. The camera moves to a worm yawning. He gasps however as soon as he notices a plane zooming down towards the ground. He ducks back inside his hole just before he gets hit by it. The plane lands safely and parks. The worm emerges out of the hole and laughs.]
 * Little Miss Stubborn: [To the Boat Captain] Is it Teeny Island?
 * Boat Captain: Teeny Island is out there.
 * [He points behind him. She brings out a cash note.]
 * Little Miss Stubborn: A ticket for Teeny Island, please.
 * Boat Captain: No, sorry.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: [Angrily] What do you mean, no?
 * Boat Captain: There's going to be a heavy storm this afternoon.
 * [He points to the clouds, which were bigger and darker than before.]
 * Little Miss Stubborn: [Brings out more cash; getting annoyed] I couldn't care less about the storm. Take me to Teeny Island!
 * Boat Captain: Impossible.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: [Rummages and brings out all of her cash.] Then let me buy your boat!
 * [She passes all of her money to him.]
 * Boat Captain: She's all yours!
 * [Excited, she jumps onto the boat.]
 * Little Miss Stubborn: Thank you. Bye!
 * Boat Captain: [Waves] Or rather, goodbye! [Laughs and counts his money.] I never thought I'd be able to get such a good price for that old nutshell.
 * [He laughs again. Meanwhile, haunted music plays and storm clouds gather while Miss Stubborn is rowing towards Teeny Island.]
 * Narrator: Oh dear me. I do think Little Miss Stubborn is being a little foolish.
 * [She struggles rowing as the rain, lightning and wind dominate the scene.]
 * Little Miss Stubborn: Ooh... I said I'll go to Teeny Island; and so I'm going there.
 * [Suddenly, a large wave quickly turns her boat over, causing her to fall into the sea. Her ruler floats at the top of the sea.]


 * [In the next scene, she is seen asleep on the shore of Teeny Island covered with seaweed. Her ruler is nowhere to be seen. A crab walks around her. The camera zooms in on a clam. It opens to reveal that Little Miss Tiny is inside it. Worried, she checks to see if the storm has finished, and squeals in excitement. She gets off her clam and walks towards Little Miss Stubborn, who wakes up.]
 * Little Miss Stubborn: Where am I?
 * Little Miss Tiny: Welcome to Teeny Island, Miss Stubborn.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: Little Miss Tiny! What are you doing here?
 * Little Miss Tiny: I've come here for my holiday, every year! You see, I feel at home here; and you, have you come here for a holiday too?
 * Little Miss Stubborn: No. I've come to check on something actually. [Raises her hand to her height] How tall are you, Little Miss Tiny?
 * Little Miss Tiny: Exactly 5 centimetres wide.


 * [Little Miss Stubborn is measuring the island, by carrying Miss Tiny and using her as a ruler.]
 * Little Miss Stubborn: Two... Four... Fifteen... Sixteen...


 * Little Miss Stubborn: Two metres by one metre. [Drops Miss Tiny.] So... she was right!


 * [At night. Little Miss Stubborn is seen running back towards her house. She presses the doorbell. The door is opened by Little Miss Brainy.]
 * Little Miss Stubborn: You were right, Little Miss Brainy. It's not that I'm stubborn, but I do like to check things.
 * [They move inside. Mr. Greedy is drinking from his cup.]
 * Little Miss Brainy: Mr. Greedy didn't wait for you.
 * Mr. Greedy: [Wipes his mouth] I won first prize! For my weight in chocolate! Look, there's a new competition on the Corn Flakes packet: [Picks up the box and reads it] What is the distance between Misterland and the Moon?
 * [Little Miss Stubborn gasps.]
 * Little Miss Brainy: Twelve thousand, two hundred and three miles.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: But how could you possibly know something like that?
 * Little Miss Brainy: I just do. That's all.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: And you're sure of that?
 * Little Miss Brainy: It says so in all the space books.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: They might be wrong.
 * Little Miss Brainy: [Walks to the window and opens it] Go and see for yourself if you don't believe me.
 * Little Miss Stubborn: Alright then, I will!
 * [She winks, shows a happy face and gives a thumbs up. The scren fades to black and the credits appear.]
