Let's all hope it won't be long.
:45:03
And, Cyril...
:45:05
these are difficult days for us all.
:45:08
But I know I can count on you.
:45:11
Whatever happens,
you must stand by one another.

:45:14
Now, give the Lamb a big kiss from me.
:45:18
I'd better grab some shuteye
as I am on dawn patrol.

:45:22
All my love always,
:45:26
Dad. "
:45:43
Read it again, Cyril.
:45:52
Martha?
:45:53
Unexpected guest just arrived.
:45:56
On a flying visit, I suppose.
I didn't know about this.

:45:59
A guest, sir?
:46:00
Yes.
:46:02
Professor Charles Chicken,
University of Eggsford.

:46:05
I was at Eggsford.
I don't remember a Chicken.

:46:08
It's from your publisher.
:46:10
They propose giving away
one free puppet with every book.

:46:13
One free with every book?
:46:15
- Ridiculous. That'll never catch on.
- That's what I said.

:46:18
Chicken!
:46:19
Huh!
:46:21
C YRIL: Today's a new day, a fresh start.
:46:23
Are we making another wish?
:46:25
Not a chance.
:46:27
What?
:46:28
Cyril and I have been discussing it,
:46:30
and we've agreed from now on,
we leave the Sand-fairy alone.

:46:33
But I drew it another picture. Look.
:46:35
We can't leave it alone.
:46:37
Think of all the wishes we'd be giving up.
:46:40
No more wishes. It's over.
:46:42
Promise me, Robert. Please.
:46:43
All right. All right, I promise.
:46:46
So what do we do instead?
:46:49
We'll make friends with Horace.
:46:50
- Why?
- Why not?

:46:52
Because he's so nasty.
