Olive was standing in the middle of a large field Pat字幕组
with white lines painted on it
There was a net across the middle
She was wearing a little white skirt and the Sun visor
Close by two very tired looking giraffe sat on a bench
Olive was about to walk over and talk to the giraffes
when all of a sudden the ball went flying past ahead
followed by another, and another
Oh, please stop, you're going to hit me
Sorry man I didn't see you there
Olive saw a curly head toad wearing white shorts and holding a racket
I'm John Macken Toad
and I'm trying to train for an important match
but my training partners Virginia and Wade are too tired to play
Oh I'm Olive, if Virginia and Wade are too tired,
Maybe I can help you train
Well sure, do you play tennis?
I don't even know what tennis is
You cannot be serious, this is a tennis court,
This is my tennis racket, surely everyone knows what tennis is
I'm afraid not, will you teach me?
Sure I guess I could, first you need a racket like mine
it's what you used to hit the ball
John gave Olive a lovely pink racket from his bag
Now you go down to that end,
and when I hit the tennis ball over the net to you,
You try and hit it back, okay?
Olives swung her rackets a couple of times to get ready
John threw the ball high above his head and hit it over the net
It was going so fast, Olive couldn't reach it in time
John tried again and again,
but this time he hit the ball so hard that Olive couldn't hit it back
Then John smashed the ball really hard
it whizzed over the net and hit Olive right on the wing,
making her spin around into the net
Feathers flying everywhere
I broke the net, exclaimed Olive
John Macken Toad ran over
and stuck a long strip of sticky plaster on Olive's wing
Don't worry about the net, I hope I haven't hurt you Olive
Oh no, I'm fine John,
but I'm afraid I haven't given you much tennis practice
Olive looked around and suddenly thought of something
Some feathers, a ball, some sticky plasters,
I think I may have an idea
Olive picked up one of the balls
and carefully started to stick feathers to the ball with the sticky plasters
Next she asked Virginia and Wade to hold up the net
Oh that's a bit higher than before
Once the net was in position
John tossed the feather covered ball above his head
and hit it over the net
with the feathers on it the ball was now going slower
and Olive could reach it
She hit the ball back this time to John
This is what we call a rally, said John hitting the ball back to Olive
Olive and John hit the ball back and forth, high and low, fast and slow
They played the tennis rallies all afternoon
until eventually John hit the ball too low
and it landed in the net
I think that's enough practice for one day
said John breathing heavily and looking exhausted
Thanks for the game
Although I'm not sure I'm really very good at tennis
Well you were amazing at feather ball
You've invented a whole new game
Okay let's hope it doesn't catch on
I don't want to lose any more feathers
They both laughed and as they did,
Olive realized it was time to go
I could see you're not scary
Whenever I try to make friends they always...
What's happened to your guitar? it's all squish Bosh
