Henrietta the Hen - Episode 3

Hello, I'm Dr Poppy and this is Robbo
Welcome back to the Pet Rescue Centre, a hospital just for poorly pets
The waiting room looks quite full today, but not to worry
We have Henrietta the hen, Jimmy the rabbit and Boris the puffer fish
Let's see if we can make them all feel better

Here comes Henrietta hen
Did you know that hens are omnivores?
Which means that as well as eating seeds and vegetables
They also eat insects and small animals like mice!

What seems to be the problem?
Look!
Henrietta's laid four eggs, but they're all different shapes and sizes
And not at all the right shape for an egg
I think Henrietta has forgotten what shape egg she needs to lay
Robbo shall we try and remind her?

Henrietta hen, what shape eggs have you laid?
Square, circle, triangle, rectangle
Henrietta hen, what shape eggs have you laid?
Square, circle, triangle, rectangle
Henrietta, what's the right shape egg?
It's an oval, an oval
Oh my friend Henrietta, you lay lovely eggs
But what is the right shape?

Can anybody guess?
Is it a square?
No, that's not right
Is it a circle?
Close, but I'm not ready to bite
Is it a triangle?
Is it a rectangle?
No, it's an oval
An oval

Henrietta hen, what shape eggs have you laid?
Square, circle, triangle, rectangle
Henrietta hen, what shape eggs have you laid?
Square, circle, triangle, rectangle
Henrietta, what's the right shape egg?
It's an oval, an oval
Henrietta has laid a perfectly shaped egg
So now we know that oval is the right shape for an egg

Here comes Jimmy the rabbit
Oh dear, it looks like Jimmy may be allergic to something
I wonder what it could be?
What have you been eating, Jimmy?
Hmm, I have an idea
Look at that
I think Jimmy is allergic to carrots
Can you tell us what an allergy is, please, Robbo?
An allergy is when your body's immune system makes a bit of a mistake
And thinks something harmless is dangerous to your body

In Jimmy's case, his body is reacting badly to carrots
Not to worry, there are lots of other delicious vegetables that you can eat instead
We have broccoli, cabbages and squash
They are all super healthy and taste fantastic
Look, the squash is even the same colour as carrots, but it won't make you sneeze
Yummy, yummy!

Here comes Boris the Puffer fish
Puffer fish scare other fish that want to eat them
By swallowing large amounts of water
Which makes their body bigger and balloon-like
Boris sure looks sad today
I wonder what the problem is?
Boris, can you show us how you puff up please?
Hmm, I think we need to take a closer look
This is a magnifying glass
If you look through it, things look bigger

Ah, look everybody
There's a tiny puncture in Boris
This must be why he can't blow himself up
Robbo, a plaster please
One plaster coming right up
I'm sure that with this plaster, Boris will puff up again and be happy
Plasters are very useful because they help protect cuts
And can stop water escaping from a puffer fish

What a day it's been at the Pet Rescue Centre today
I hope you had as much fun as we did
See you next time from me, Dr Poppy
And from me, Robbo
Bye!
