p46 The Blackberry Bush

Season 3 Book 46



Narrator: Peppa and her family are at Granny
and Grandpa Pig's house.
Granny: Today, I'm going to make apple and
blackberry crumbles.
All: Yummy!
Granny: I need you bravest explorers to go
and get the fruit.
All: Aye! Aye! Granny Pig!

1

Mummy: We've got baskets for the apples.
Peppa: And buckets for the blackberries.
Grandpa: First, the easy bit picking apples.
On the count of three, shake the tree.
All: One! Two! Three!

2

Mummy: Now for the blackberries.
Grandpa: Why don't we just have apple
crumble?
Mummy: Because blackberries are tasty too,
Grandpa.
Grandpa: Ok. Now the hard bit.
Daddy: Now that's what I call a blackberry
bush.

3

Mummy: This bush has been here since I was
a little piggy.
Grandpa: It's an overgrown weed.
I should've cut it down years ago.
Peppa: Grandpa, why don't you like it?
Grandpa: I don't like the way it looks at me.

4

Mummy: Silly Grandpa. It's just a harmless
bush.
Daddy: And it's covered in lovely blackberries.

5

Narrator: George has seen some really big
juicy blackberries.
Grandpa: Careful George or you might get
tangled. I have a stick for picking hard-To-
Reach blackberries.
Peppa: Clever Grandpa!

6

Mummy: But the best blackberries are right at
the very top.
That's why I brought the ladder.
Grandpa: Um, don't lean too far over,
Mummy Pig.
Mummy: Don't worry. I've been climbing this
blackberry bush since I was a little girl.
Daddy: Yes, but you are not a little girl now.

7

Mummy: I know what I'm doing.
Narrator: Oh, dear! Mummy Pig has fallen
into the blackberry bush.
Peppa: Mummy! Can you get out?
Mummy: No, I'm stuck.
Peppa: You're stuck in the thorny bush like
Sleeping Beauty.
Mummy: What?

8

Peppa: Once upon a time, there was a princess
called Sleeping Beauty.
One day she fell asleep in a thorny bush.
And she stayed there for a hundred years.
Mummy: Yes, that's a nice story, Peppa.

9

Narrator: It is Susie Sheep.
Suzy: Hello, Peppa.
Peppa: Hello, Susie.
My Mummy is in a blackberry bush.
And she'll be there for a hundred years.
Suzy: Like Sleeping Beauty?
And she'll be rescued by a handsome prince
who will give her a kiss.
Peppa: My Mummy is having an adventure.

10

Suzy: I wish my mummy would have
adventures like that.
Mummy: Um, can someone think of a way to
get me out of here?
Peppa: Don't worry, Mummy.
In a hundred years a handsome prince will
rescue you.
Daddy: I'll be that handsome prince.

11

Daddy: Grandpa Pig, may I borrow your
pruning shears please?
Grandpa: Of course you may, Brave Sir
Daddy Pig.
Daddy: Stand back everyone.
Take that you thorny bush you.
All: Hurray!
Mummy: Oh, my prince.
Daddy: My princess.

12

Suzy: You were meant to stay in there for a
hundred years!
Mummy: That was quite long enough.
Thank you.
Peppa: Mummy is a blackberry bush.
Daddy: I thought this sort of thing only
happened to me!
Grandpa: Stand still while we pick you.
Let's take all this fruit back to Granny Pig.

13

Peppa: Granny! Granny! Mummy had an
adventure! And then Mummy fell in a bush.
She looked quite silly and she was going
Ah----! Help me! Help me!
And then Daddy came and rescued her.
The end.
Mummy: Thank you, Peppa.
I think we've all heard that story enough
times now.

14

Peppa: But it's funny. I never want to see
another blackberry in my life.
Granny: So you don't want to any apple and
blackberry crumble then.
Mummy: Well. Mmmm. Delicious.
Narrator: Mummy Pig loves apple and
blackberry crumble.
Everyone loves apple and blackberry crumble.
