Dad, I need to ask you something very important.

Yes, Henry?

Well, seeing how it's nearly my birthday,

could I have my present now?

Don't be ridiculous, Henry. It's not your birthday for ages.

Okay. Well how about my Christmas presents?

That's even further away.

But I need it now!

If you really want something, you should save up for it.

That's what I did when I wanted the Number Gnomes Bumper Book of Numbers.

I kept all my tooth fairy money in a jar...

And no one asked you, worm.

You and your smelly-nappy Number Gnomes can mind their own business.

Well done, Henry.

You've just made sure that you're not going to get any birthday presents.

What?

And I'd have a good think about what you might not be getting for Christmas too.

[screams] No!

Mum, I need to ask you something very important.

Yes, Henry?

Well, seeing how it's nearly my birthday,

could I have my present now?

Don't be silly, Henry.

It's not your birthday for weeks.

Okay, then how about my Christmas present?

That's even further away.

But I need it now!

If you really want something, you should save up for it.

That's what I did when I wanted Number Gnomes numbers three and four. I--

You said that last time, worm.

No, I didn't.

Last time I said, "I saved up for Number Gnomes Bumper Book of Numbers".

And this time--

I know what you said this time.

Thank you smelly-nappy Number Gnome...

[imitating]

Wow, Henry.

I wonder how you're going to feel on the morning of your birthday.

What do you mean?

When you don't have any birthday presents.

What?

And no Christmas presents to look forward to either.

[screams] No!

Dad, I need to ask you something really important.

Is it to do with presents, Henry?

Oh, yes. How did you know?

Just a hunch.

I hope you've been saving up, Henry.

You know, I don't believe in saving up for things I really need.

No, I mean, I hope you've been saving up to buy presents for everyone else.

It'll be Christmas soon.

No, it won't. It's only October.

We've got ages to wait till Christmas.

Which is why I need my present now.

Henry, you know you're not getting any Christmas presents.

[scoffs] You said that about my birthday.

Then you still gave me some presents.

Well, your mother and I thought that you'd benefit from some new socks and a new pencil.

And I knew you'd love the matching pencil sharpener.

Yeah, thanks for nothing.

Wormier-wormy-smelly- nappy-baby-sugar-poop.

So, Henry,

about that Christmas present,

Oh, yes, Dad?

You're not getting one, Henry.

[screams] No!

Yeah, you have guessed it.

It's Christmas time already.

Yes! It's Christmas time already!

Ah!

Christmas, the time of goodwill to all men and women, of course.

And nice and sugar and spice--

Excuse me.

All things nice and bats and pussy cats

and next door neighbours.

-Excuse me. -And teachers, lovely or otherwise.

And Number Gnomes...

Excuse me!

That's enough good will.

Thank you little brother of mine.

Ah!

You may wonder, why I'm not treating the worm in the manner in which he deserves.

♪ Tis the season To be jolly ♪

♪ Fa la la, la La la, la la la ♪

Yes, thank you, Peter.

It's because, even though my parents are the meanest most horrible parents in the whole world,

because they haven't got me any Christmas presents,

I reckon Santa might still bring me something.

And you never know when Santa might be listening in.

Santa's listening in all the time, Henry.

No, he isn't.

Yes, he is.

He's always on the lookout for good little boys and girls.

Who might deserve a present even if their parents have decided

not to get them one because they've been so horrid all year long.

Amazing! He could be talking about me.

So, my advice to anyone who might be hoping for

just a teensy-weensy little present from Santa,

would be that it's never too late to be good.

What do you mean?

I mean, that maybe even you could get a present

if you're smart about it.

Do you reckon?

Oh, yes! I reckon.

So, what do you think I should do then?

Hmm, now let me see.

You could try being nice to your little brother for 24 hours.

Nope.

How about 12 hours?

Nope.

One hour?

[scoffs] No way.

Well, how about being nice to Mum or Dad then?

I suppose, I could do that.

Just this once.

That's decided then.

Off you go.

Off I go where?

Off you go to be nice to Mum or Dad, silly.

Where are you going?

To polish up my halo. 'Tis Christmas Eve after all.

Oh, yeah.

I know! 'Tis Christmas Eve!

That's right Henry.

I'd get to move on with that "Being nice to Mum or Dad" idea if I were you.

♪ Fa la la, la la la, la la la. ♪

What am I going to do?

Think, think.

How can I be nice to Mum or Dad?

No, nothing.

Still, nothing.

I'm gonna have to ask the worm to help me.

Oops.

Santa, did you hear that?

[snoring]

Wake up, worm.

Darling lovely little brother.

What is it, Henry?

I need your help, urgently.

How can I do something nice for Mum or Dad?

Make a cup of tea.

That always works.

But I can't, Peter. I can't make a cup of tea.

Why not?

Because...

I'll have milk in my tea, Henry.

Right.

Ew...

Don't be silly, Henry. You can make a cup of tea.

Yes, I can!

No, I can't.

But if I don't do it, Santa won't come

and I won't have any presents this Christmas.

[sighs]

[gasps]

How hard can it be?

Walk to the fridge.

Open the fridge.

Take out the milk.

This is easy.

[meows]

[meows]

Oh, Fluffy. Oh, it's only you.

Yes! Mission accomplished.

Thanks, Fluffy.

[meows]

[snores]

Mum, I've made you a cup of tea.

What? Oh!

Thank you, Henry.

What time is it?

It's the middle of the night.

Go back to bed, Henry.

Oh, right.

I'll just leave it here for you then, shall I?

Happy Christmas, Mum.

Happy Christmas, Henry.

Oh, look, Henry.

Santa did bring you some presents.

Yes!

Well, one present anyway.

One is better than none.

Wormy-worm brother.

"Dear Henry, Happy Christmas.

Here is an early Christmas present for next year.

Love, Santa."

Next year?

What does that mean, "next year"?

It means that you're gonna have to be good for a whole year, Henry.

[gasps]

[screams] No!

So, who saw Boodle Poodles last night?

Oh, I did. They were incredible.

Weird, more like.

What do you mean, weird?

Yeah, weird.

Never you mind, bogey-brain.

You're weird. That's what, snot-slime.

Yeah, snot-slime...

Hey, time out.

We're only talking about a TV show.

Yeah, a TV show.

A TV show that is the best TV show in the whole wide world.

You know it's not.

Too Cool for School is the best TV show in the whole wide world.

-Isn't. -Is.

Isn't, isn't, isn't.

Is, is, is.

-Isn't. -Is.

Isn't with bells on.

Is with double bells on.

And a slice of cheese.

[clears throat] Very inventive, Henry.

But may I ask that you sit down now!

Now then, may I ask what exactly it was you were arguing about?

Henry said, "The Boodle Poodles were weird."

I happen to think that Boodle Poodles

is one of the best TV shows in the whole wide world.

So, that's a double detention for you, Henry.

And it is not even nine o'clock yet.

[laughing] You are doing well.

[screams] No!

Anyway so, last week the purple Boodle Poodle, what's her name?

Yeah, what's her name?

Princess Poppy Pants, I think.

Yeah, that's it.

So last week, Princess Poppy Pants beat the platinum Boodle Poodle,

Oh, what was her name?

Princess Poopy Pants.

Who asked you, slug features?

So, last week, Princess Poppy Pants

beat what's her name at slipper throwing.

Yeah, slipper throwing.

And this week, they are going to be hula hooping.

Yeah, hula hooping.

[scoffs] Fang could do all those things.

Yeah, he could beat the Boodle Poodles hands down.

[scoffs]

You talking about that smelly old demented rat that bites everything in sight?

He's not a rat. He's a hamster.

And he only bites evil people.

Well I'd like to see him do all the things that Boodle Poodles do.

But he could do them all and more.

Even synchronised swimming?

Even synchronised swimming.

You're on.

You, what?

My garden, tomorrow morning the contest begins.

What do we do now?

I guess we go and tell Fang what you've got him into.

So you see old pal, you're doing it for the glory of all hamsters everywhere.

So, you're ready for a bit of hula hooping?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[cheering]

How is your slipper throwing?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nice one, Fang.

[laughs cunningly]

I bet, you can ballroom dance too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[music playing]

Come on. Let's have a go at the synchronised swimming.

I'll start the bath running.

Cool, I love synchronised swimming.

[shivers]

Come on, Fang. You can do it.

Fang!

Never mind, Fang. Nice try.

It doesn't matter that you can't swim.

Yeah, you'll beat those Boodle Poodles anyway.

Let's get you dried off.

[sighs]

Yeah, yeah yeah.

Yeah, yeah yeah.

Yeah, yeah yeah.

[evil laugh]

[evil laugh]

[meows]

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

[meows]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[snores]

[Margaret] 15 minutes, Henry.

Fang, wake up.

Yeah.

Where is he?

He's coming. Don't you worry.

What are they all doing here?

Um, Margaret said she wanted everyone to see you and Fang humiliated.

That figures.

Well old friend, this is it.

Let's get on with it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You and whose army?

[whistles]

Let the battle commence.

Go, Fang!

What is that?

[cheering]

That my friend is a Boodle Poodle.

[growls]

[cheering]

[music playing]

[whistle blowing]

Final round...

synchronised swimming.

[cheering]

[cheering]

That wasn't real synchronised swimming.

[whispers] Fang, you don't have to do this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, I can't look.

Go Fang!

[gasp]

Henry, look.

He did it!

[cheering]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And the winner is...

Fang! Fang! Fang!

Fang! Fang!

Arg!

I give up.

Yes! The winner is Fang!

Hamsters rule! Oh, yay!
