THE FIRE ENGINE
Mummy Pig is dressed as a fireman.
- Mummy, why are you dressed like that?
- I am going to the Mummies’ Fire Engine Practice.
- Oooooo.
- Oh, oh, it’s just a good excuse for a cup of tea and a chat.
- Well, what are you doing today, Daddy Pig?
- I’ve got a very important meeting with the Daddies’ Football Team.
- Ah, that’s just a lot of grown-up boys kicking a football around.
- We are having a barbecue as well.
- Here are Mr Bull, Mr Rabbit, Mr Pony and Mr Zebra.
- Mooo, is Daddy Pig coming out to play?
- He-he-he, come on!
- Mummy, can we see the fire engine?
- Yes.
- Oh, goodie!
This is Miss Rabbit’s fire station.
- Hello, Peppa and George, come and see the fire engine.
- Wow, fire engine!
- There is a ladder for climbing, a hose for squirting water, and a big bell to ring.
- Ding-dong, ding-dong. He he he.
- Now, let’s go up the tower and look for fires.
- Hello, everyone!
- Hello, Peppa, hello, George!
- Ah, who is for a nice cup of tea and a chat?
- That sounds nice.
- Ooo, a telephone.
- Peppa, that is the fire phone. It’s only to be used when there is a fire.
- Ah, fire, fire!
- Fire station, where is the fire, where is the fire?
- Can I speak to Mummy Pig, please?
- Oh, it’s Daddy Pig.
- Ah, Daddy Pig, you are not supposed to ring on this phone, It’s only for emergencies.
- This is an emergency, I can’t find the tomato ketchup anywhere.
- Daddy Pig, shall I light the barbecue now?
- Yes, please, Mr Rabbit.
- Do be careful with the barbecue, Daddy Pig.
- Trust me, Mummy Pig, we daddies know everything about barbecues.
- Bye.
- Maybe it needs more charcoal?
- Give it a bit of a blow.
- Put a few more firelighters on.
- Now, we just have to wait for a fire.
- How long do we have to wait?
- Oh, it could be a long time, I have been waiting ages.
- How many fires have you actually put out Miss Rabbit?
- Uh.. none, not 1 fire. But you’ve got to be ready.
- It’s the fire phone.
- Oh, can you answer it, Peppa, it’ll probably be your daddy again.
- OK.
- Hello, fire station.
- Hello Peppa.
- Oh, daddy, it is you, you are very naughty! This phone is for fires only.
- Can you put Miss Rabbit on, please? There is a good girl.
- Daddy wants to speak to you.
- Hello Daddy Pig, this phone is only to be used when there is a...
- Fire, fire, fire!
Oh dear! Daddy Pig’s barbecue is on fire.
- Fire, fire!
- Mummies to rescue.
- Wheee!
- Hold tight.
- Fire, fire, ding-dong, ding-dong.
- It’s Miss Rabbit’s fire engine.
- Hurray!
- Stand back, daddies.
- Mummy Dog, turn on the water!
- Ay, ay, Mommy Pig.
- The fire is out.
- Hurray!
- Thank you for saving us, Miss Rabbit.
- No problem. It’s all part of the service. The Mummies’ Fire Engine Service.
- And now that Miss Rabbit has kindly flooded out our garden, we can all jump up and down in muddy puddles.
- Yes!
- I love fire engines, especially when they make muddy puddles.
- Ha ha ha ha ha
