Gooo...

Hey! Wait for me!

Weee…

La, la, la...

It is winter. Milly‘s world is covered with snow and everyone is happy.

Hurry up, lazy bones!

Make waaaay!

This evening there is going to be a big party on the frozen pond. Milly and Billy are practicing to skate in front of everybody.

Careful!

I'm a ballerina.The best ballerina

on the pond…The most beautiful...

Not like that...

Dadaa!Hurrah!

Milly and Billy are excellent. From the shore, Henry and Henrietta watch them dancing.

Not everyone is as good as Milly and Billy.

Uh-oh!!!

How I wish I could skate

like that... Sob...

But my darling, we can't,

we have no feet...

Watch out!!!

The frog is crying. She has hurt her leg.

Boo hoo...

Milly asks her friend to go and fetch a twig.

Will this do?

I will bandage your leg tightly

so you won't feel any pain...

Don't worry, we will help you...

Nice and tight...

The mouse nurses arrive with their ambulance.

Go, go, we will look after the patient now!

There, done! Is that better?

Yes, thank you...

We will take her to hospital!

The ambulance leaves. Milly and Billy would like to carry on skating, but the sun is setting...

We better go back to the pond.

Go!!!

Goodbye my friends...

OK, off we go! The party

will be starting soon.

A big crowd is gathering to watch the show.

I can't see Henry and Henrietta...

Look... all our friends

are here!

Lalla the butterfl y, Nana Spider, Mrs Caterpillar and the Cricket Fishermen watch Milly and Billy dancing on the ice. They are so good, they seem to be fl ying.

Bravo!

Milly and Billy fi nish their performance with a bow. The audience cheers.

Wonderful!Magnifi cent!
