MIA'S MAGIC PLAYGROUND

[laughing and shouting] [school bell ringing]

Come play with us!

MIA IN THE MIDDLE

[bouncing sounds]

So, what shall we play?

Oh, let's play with my skipping rope.

No, let's play monkey in the middle!

[grumbling]

Hey, actually, I have a great idea.

Why don't we play--

-Skipping rope! -Monkey in the middle!

Or we could play--

-Skipping rope! -Monkey in the middle!

Tillie, why do you have to be so stubborn?

Why do you have to be so stubborn?

Okay, you play skipping rope and I'll play monkey.

Great! I will.

-[Tillie, Oskar] Come on, Mia! -But, wait!

How am I supposed to be in two places at once?

-[Tillie] Mia! -[music]

Here you go, Nice Cream Bear!

See? We don't need Oskar, do we?

[sniffing sound]

[slurping sound]

Yay, you're here!

Here, you two swing the rope and I'll skip.

But I have a better idea. We can all play together.

Come on. Swing the rope, Mia.

[Oskar] Mia!

She's playing with me!

-[Mia] Here, hold this. -[Tillie] What are you doing?

I'm just gonna see what Oskar wants,

then I'll be right back.

Why can't they just play together?

Oh, hello there.

Hey, Oskar. I have an idea. Why don't we--

Cool, you're here! Let's play.

Beatroot Girl is the monkey in the middle.

Come on, Mia! Catch!

-But why can't we all-- -Throw it back!

[mocking laugh]

You're the monkey now, Mia!

-Mia! -[sigh]

She's playing with me!

I should see if Tillie's okay. I'll be right back.

So, what did Oskar want?

He... wanted to say...

Actually, he thinks we should all play

something together.

Okay, but only if we play with my skipping rope.

And if he says sorry for calling me stubborn first.

[sigh]

So, what did Tillie want?

She thinks... that we should play

something... all together.

And I was thinking that we could all--

Only if she agrees to play monkey

in the middle

and be the monkey.

And only if she says sorry first for calling me stubborn.

[sigh]

He says, fine.

-Fine? -Yes. fine. He'll apologise.

Come on.

-No, he has to come to me. -[sigh]

But why can't she come to me and apologise?

She... She's stuck.

Yeah, stuck in the rope. All tangled up.

But she'll apologise.

-Come on, please. -Okay, then.

So... are you going to say sorry,

or what?

No, Mia said you wanted to say sorry

to me

and that you are caught in the rope somehow.

What? No. I don't even know where the rope is.

[burping sound]

Guys, listen. I just--

-Mia! -Mia!

Why did you lie?

Because none of you had listened to me!

You never even asked me what I wanted to play.

You just boss me around and I can't

even get you to talk to each other.

So I made up a teeny, tiny little lie.

I'm sorry! I'll just play by myself.

She got mad? At us?

I didn't even know she could.

Mia? Mia, please, come down.

We have something to say to you.

-Three, two, one. -Three, two, one.

[Tillie, Oskar] We're really sorry

for bossing you around.

[Tillie] And for not listening to you.

[Oskar] Yeah, that too.

Alright, apology accepted if you listen to my idea

because it's actually really, really great.

...and then, when you jump, you have to

land on the other foot each time.

-You get it? -I don't understand.

Me neither.

Alright, maybe I can get someone to show you.

Hey, you! You at home! Will you help us out?

Tillie and Oskar are the monkeys in the middle.

When the skipping rope comes, you have to jump over it,

but each time it comes, they have to land on the other

foot.

Like this.

Like monkeys.

See? Will you show them?

-[Mia] You get it? -Yeah!

[Mia] Let's be skipping monkeys all together.

First foot, second foot. Keep jumping!

First foot, second foot.

Jump, jump higher!

Thank you so much for your help.

[school bell ringing]

That was so much fun!

Why didn't we just play skipping monkey

to begin with?

Oskar...

Well, at least we know what to play

next playtime now.

Definitely! Come on.
