| Kea: |
Grandma, grandma! |
| Grandma: |
What’s the matter? |
| Fantail & Tui:(together) |
We saw bird grabbers. |
| Grandma: |
Where? |
| Tui: |
On the other side of the forest. |
| Fantail: |
They were after Kea. |
| Grandma: |
We need to keep you safe. |
| Kea: |
I’m scared. |
| Grandma: |
Oh, I know. I’ll make you invisible. |
| Tui: |
How? |
| Grandma: |
A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Now Kea, drink this up. |
| Fantail: |
Look, look you can’t see Kea. |
| Kea: |
Can you really not see me? |
| Tui: |
Where are you? |
| Kea: |
Ouch, Tui, you just stood on my foot. Ouch. What did you do that for, Fantail? |
| Fantail: |
Do what? I was just stretching. |
| Kea: |
Ouch, you hit me again. |
| Grandma: |
Be careful, children. Now, off you go and play. |
| Tui: |
What shall we do? |
| Fantail: |
Let’s play hopscotch. |
| Tui: |
It’s my turn. |
| Kea: |
No it’s not. It’s my turn. |
| Fantail: |
How can it be your turn? We can’t see if you step on the lines. |
| Kea: |
But I want to play. Grandma!!! They won’t give me a turn. |
| Grandma: |
Can’t you play nicely? |
| Tui: |
Grandma, we can’t play, if we can’t see Kea. |
| Fantail: |
Can you make it so we see Kea again? |
| Grandma: |
I never thought about making Kea visible again. |
| Kea: |
I promise to keep safe, if you change me back. |
| Grandma: |
Kea had to drink something to become invisible. Let’s see if some food changes Kea back. |
| Fantail: |
What sort of food? |
| Grandma: |
Let’s try a vegemite sandwich. |
| Kea: |
I love vegemite sandwiches. Mmm. |
| Tui: |
Look, look. Kea’s beak’s come back. |
| Kea: |
But I want everything back! |
| Grandma: |
Ok, ok. Let’s think of other things to eat. |
| Fantail: |
Here’s some pavlova. |
| Kea: |
Mmm, I love pavlova. |
| Grandma: |
Well, I don’t suppose it will do Kea any harm. |
| Tui: |
I’m getting hungry just watching Kea eat. |
| Fantail: |
I can see Kea’s feet. You look strange. |
| Grandma: |
I think you should try something healthy. |
| Tui: |
I’ve got some squashed kiwi fruit. |
| Kea: |
Yuck! But I want to be seen. Ok, I’ll try some. |
| Fantail: |
Hey, I can see your wings now. |
| Grandma: |
What will we try next? |
| Kea: |
How about some ice-cream? |
| Tui: |
We like ice-cream too. |
| Grandma: |
Stay here and I’ll see what I can do. |
| |
(Pause) |
| Grandma: |
Ok, my dears. Here’s the ice-cream. |
| Kea, Tui & Fantail: |
Thanks grandma. You’re the best. |
| Tui: |
Oh, look. I can see Kea’s head. |
| Fantail: |
Now Kea’s tummy’s showing. Gee, look how big it’s got! |
| Tui: |
I think you’re too fat to fit in a cage now! |
| Kea: |
Grandma, they’re making fun of me! |
| Grandma: |
Children, children. Visible or invisible, you need to play nicely together. |
