Cronología

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The narrator receives a letter from their teacher about hosting class hamsters, Pickle and Pops, during Easter. They excitedly discuss with a friend, Gabby, about filling out the form themselves as their mom might be confused by the complex wording. The narrator's attempt using purple felt-tip pen is recognized as non-convincing, leading to a failed attempt to submit it. They concoct a story about a bird stealing the letter to get a replacement from Mrs. Peters.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The narrator manages to persuade their mom to agree to look after the hamsters, and they are to be kept in the narrator's bedroom. Overjoyed, they dwell on their future plans with Pickle and Pops, eagerly anticipating the holidays despite having to wait through remaining school days. Meanwhile, they dismiss a schoolmate Jack's incorrect claims about hamsters causing historical diseases, reinforcing rational knowledge about the plague's real vectors.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:17:27

    Finally, the long-awaited Friday arrives, and the narrator goes to pick up the hamsters with their mom and Gabby. Amidst the excitement, logistical delays such as forgetting the car extend the waiting. Once home, the narrator eagerly sets up the hamsters in their room, contemplating on their care and humorous imaginings of hamster needs. The clips end with the narrator’s eager anticipation of spending the Easter holidays with Pickle and Pops.

  • 00:02:44
    it took me and gabby nearly the whole of
  • 00:02:47
    morning break to read the letter
  • 00:02:51
    we understood the
  • 00:02:53
    dear mrs butter's bit
  • 00:02:55
    but got really confused by all the rest
  • 00:03:00
    what if your mum gets confused too
  • 00:03:03
    askgabby
  • 00:03:05
    what if she gets so confused by the
  • 00:03:08
    letter she won't sign the form
  • 00:03:17
    i'm going to put tix in all the boxes
  • 00:03:20
    and sign it for her i said
  • 00:03:23
    getting my pencil case out of my school
  • 00:03:26
    bag
  • 00:03:28
    the trouble with filling in a form for
  • 00:03:30
    your mum is you have to make it look
  • 00:03:33
    like your mum has done all the filling
  • 00:03:35
    in
  • 00:03:37
    mum
  • 00:03:39
    trouble is i did it in purple felt tip
  • 00:03:43
    when i showed my filled in forms to
  • 00:03:44
    gabby
  • 00:03:46
    she said that parents don't usually
  • 00:03:48
    write in purple felt tip
  • 00:03:50
    plus they usually do joined up writing
  • 00:03:54
    plus i had signed mum
  • 00:03:57
    instead of tiffany butters
  • 00:04:01
    which meant there was no way mrs peters
  • 00:04:03
    would believe my mum had failed in the
  • 00:04:06
    form
  • 00:04:08
    which meant there was no way mrs peters
  • 00:04:11
    would believe
  • 00:04:12
    my mum had said yes
  • 00:04:15
    which meant there was no way i could
  • 00:04:18
    give the form back to mrs peters
  • 00:04:21
    which meant i had to screw it up
  • 00:04:24
    into a ball and throw it in the rubbish
  • 00:04:26
    bin which meant
  • 00:04:29
    i didn't even have
  • 00:04:33
    a special letter to take home anymore
  • 00:04:38
    the trouble with not having a special
  • 00:04:40
    letter to take home anymore is
  • 00:04:43
    i had to persuade mrs peters to give me
  • 00:04:47
    another one
  • 00:04:49
    say a dog ate it said gabby
  • 00:04:53
    there aren't any dogs in the playground
  • 00:04:56
    i said
  • 00:04:58
    say jack beach whistle ate it
  • 00:05:01
    said gabby
  • 00:05:03
    it's okay
  • 00:05:04
    i said
  • 00:05:06
    i know exactly what i'm going to tell
  • 00:05:08
    her
  • 00:05:10
    the trouble with telling mrs peters that
  • 00:05:14
    the wind had blown the letter out of my
  • 00:05:17
    hand during morning break
  • 00:05:20
    and her bird had swooped down and
  • 00:05:21
    carried it off and it speak is
  • 00:05:25
    i'm not sure she believed me at first
  • 00:05:29
    i never knew we had pelicans in the area
  • 00:05:32
    daisy
  • 00:05:33
    she said
  • 00:05:35
    oh perhaps it was a toucan
  • 00:05:38
    i'm not sure i said
  • 00:05:41
    but its beak was massive
  • 00:05:43
    in fact
  • 00:05:44
    i was lucky
  • 00:05:46
    it didn't fly off in my school bag as
  • 00:05:50
    well luckily
  • 00:05:53
    mrs peters totally believed me
  • 00:05:56
    and gave me another letter to take home
  • 00:06:00
    only this time i didn't fill it in
  • 00:06:04
    this time i decided to cross my fingers
  • 00:06:08
    instead
  • 00:06:17
    chapter
  • 00:06:18
    four when i ran out of out after school
  • 00:06:23
    to meet my mum
  • 00:06:24
    i was so excited i could have burst
  • 00:06:28
    thank goodness i'd been to the loo
  • 00:06:31
    because
  • 00:06:32
    guess what
  • 00:06:33
    my mum said yes
  • 00:06:36
    as long as it would be me
  • 00:06:39
    looking after the hamsters over the
  • 00:06:41
    holidays and not her
  • 00:06:45
    which was a bit of a weird thing to say
  • 00:06:47
    if you ask me
  • 00:06:50
    gabby was really excited for me too
  • 00:06:54
    especially when my mum said i could keep
  • 00:06:57
    pickle and pops in my bedroom
  • 00:07:01
    mom even said
  • 00:07:03
    i could put that cage right beside my
  • 00:07:06
    bed
  • 00:07:08
    i couldn't believe it
  • 00:07:11
    it was going to be the best easter
  • 00:07:13
    holiday
  • 00:07:15
    ever
  • 00:07:17
    i didn't care whose turn it was to feed
  • 00:07:19
    pickle and pops for the rest of the week
  • 00:07:22
    now
  • 00:07:23
    or even who got to clean them out
  • 00:07:26
    because i knew that as soon as we broke
  • 00:07:29
    up from school on friday
  • 00:07:31
    i was going to have pickle and pups
  • 00:07:34
    all to myself for a whole two weeks
  • 00:07:39
    and their cage and their wheel
  • 00:07:42
    and their food and their drinks bottle
  • 00:07:45
    and their sawdust and everything
  • 00:07:48
    i would be able to feed them every day
  • 00:07:52
    and even clean them out every day if i
  • 00:07:55
    wanted to
  • 00:07:57
    how brilliant is that
  • 00:07:59
    all i had to do now was wait to take
  • 00:08:02
    them home
  • 00:08:04
    and wait
  • 00:08:06
    and wait
  • 00:08:08
    and wait
  • 00:08:10
    and wait
  • 00:08:13
    the trouble with being told on a
  • 00:08:15
    wednesday that you are going to be
  • 00:08:18
    hamster guardian of the easter holiday
  • 00:08:20
    is
  • 00:08:22
    once wednesday's over
  • 00:08:24
    you still have to wait for thursday to
  • 00:08:26
    be over
  • 00:08:28
    before you even get to friday
  • 00:08:36
    plus
  • 00:08:38
    even when you get to friday
  • 00:08:40
    you have to do
  • 00:08:41
    another whole day of lessons before you
  • 00:08:44
    break up for the easter holidays at the
  • 00:08:47
    end of the afternoon
  • 00:08:50
    it was so
  • 00:08:52
    frustrating
  • 00:08:54
    my mum told me that i should stop
  • 00:08:57
    wishing my life away
  • 00:08:59
    but i was but i wasn't wishing my life
  • 00:09:02
    away at all
  • 00:09:04
    i was just wishing my life had real life
  • 00:09:08
    actual hamsters in it
  • 00:09:11
    living with me at home
  • 00:09:14
    why did i have to go to boring school
  • 00:09:16
    first
  • 00:09:19
    why couldn't i be hamster guardian of
  • 00:09:21
    the easter holiday straight away
  • 00:09:24
    i don't know how many rubber bands jack
  • 00:09:27
    beach whistle pinged at me over the last
  • 00:09:30
    two days of school
  • 00:09:32
    but he was definitely
  • 00:09:34
    definitely
  • 00:09:36
    jealous
  • 00:09:44
    in the playground on thursday
  • 00:09:47
    jack told me and gabby that about 500
  • 00:09:51
    years ago
  • 00:09:52
    a really bad disease
  • 00:09:55
    called the great plague of london had
  • 00:09:58
    been caused by hamsters
  • 00:10:00
    and that i would probably catch it too
  • 00:10:02
    now
  • 00:10:04
    luckily
  • 00:10:05
    barry marley was listening
  • 00:10:08
    so when jack had gone he told us it
  • 00:10:11
    wasn't caused by hamsters at all
  • 00:10:14
    it was caused by rats which don't even
  • 00:10:16
    look anything like hamsters
  • 00:10:19
    because they have much longer tails
  • 00:10:23
    when i asked my mum
  • 00:10:25
    she said the great pig of london
  • 00:10:28
    wasn't even caused by wraps
  • 00:10:32
    it was caused by fleas that lived on
  • 00:10:36
    laks on rats
  • 00:10:39
    which was even better news
  • 00:10:41
    because fleas don't look anything like
  • 00:10:44
    hamsters either
  • 00:10:46
    and even if they did
  • 00:10:48
    pickle and pops didn't have any fleas
  • 00:10:52
    because if they did
  • 00:10:54
    i would have noticed them when i was
  • 00:10:56
    being hamster monitor
  • 00:10:59
    so there was no way i was going to catch
  • 00:11:02
    the great plague of london
  • 00:11:04
    or even the little plague of london
  • 00:11:08
    and even if i did
  • 00:11:10
    the first thing i would do when i got
  • 00:11:13
    back to school
  • 00:11:14
    is breathe it all over jack beach
  • 00:11:16
    whistle
  • 00:11:18
    that would stop him and his rubber bands
  • 00:11:22
    when the bell
  • 00:11:24
    finally went at the end of school on
  • 00:11:27
    friday
  • 00:11:28
    it felt like i'd been waiting about 20
  • 00:11:31
    weeks
  • 00:11:33
    and even then i had to wait for my mum
  • 00:11:36
    to turn up
  • 00:11:38
    and wait and wait and waits
  • 00:11:42
    because when she did turn up and saw me
  • 00:11:46
    and gabby by the hamsters
  • 00:11:49
    she had to go all the way home again
  • 00:11:52
    because she had forgotten to bring the
  • 00:11:54
    car with her
  • 00:11:55
    it was so
  • 00:11:57
    embarrassing
  • 00:12:06
    when my mum finally turned up and mrs
  • 00:12:10
    peters finally gave me pickle and pop's
  • 00:12:13
    cage to hold
  • 00:12:15
    i was so excited i nearly burst
  • 00:12:19
    mom took the hamster food and gabby
  • 00:12:22
    carried the sawdust
  • 00:12:25
    we had absolutely
  • 00:12:27
    everything we needed for the perfect
  • 00:12:29
    holiday
  • 00:12:31
    happy easter
  • 00:12:33
    said mrs peters as we left the
  • 00:12:36
    classroom you too
  • 00:12:39
    said my mum
  • 00:12:41
    see you in two weeks
  • 00:12:44
    i'd never carried a hamster cage out of
  • 00:12:47
    a classroom before
  • 00:12:49
    it was so
  • 00:12:50
    brilliant when we got to the car
  • 00:12:54
    mum made me give her the cage
  • 00:12:58
    to hold while gabby and i got in and did
  • 00:13:02
    up our seat belts
  • 00:13:04
    but as soon as my seat belt was clicked
  • 00:13:08
    i made mum give me the cage back
  • 00:13:11
    straight away
  • 00:13:14
    they've woken up
  • 00:13:16
    said gabby
  • 00:13:17
    poking her finger through the bars
  • 00:13:21
    gabby was right
  • 00:13:23
    pickle and pops definitely looked more
  • 00:13:27
    jumpity than before
  • 00:13:30
    i think they're excited about coming
  • 00:13:32
    to live with me i said
  • 00:13:36
    i'd be excited about coming to live with
  • 00:13:38
    you
  • 00:13:39
    said as we pulled up outside her house
  • 00:13:43
    especially for two weeks
  • 00:13:46
    i know i grinned
  • 00:13:49
    if next
  • 00:13:50
    friday is called
  • 00:13:52
    good friday
  • 00:13:54
    then this friday should be called best
  • 00:13:57

    daisy

    ever feed an animal
  • 00:15:05
    i said

    mom frowned
  • 00:15:22
    i wonder if they're hungry though i said
  • 00:15:26
    lying down on my bed
  • 00:15:28
    and watching them from my pillow
  • 00:15:33
    they have plenty of food to eat if they
  • 00:15:35

  • 00:15:36
    said mom
  • 00:15:38

  • 00:15:46
    said mum
  • 00:15:48

  • 00:16:01
    do
  • 00:16:02
    said mum
  • 00:16:04

  • 00:16:13
    if they do
  • 00:16:15
    said mum
  • 00:16:16
