Shane the Koala -Episode 5

Hello everybody
Let's see who is in the waiting room, today
We have my friends, Shane the koala
Sally the snake and Cecil the snail
Oh dear, they do look like a poorly lot

Here comes Shane the koala
Shane is eating eucalyptus leaves
Which are a koala's favorite type of food

This is very strange, normally Shane is so happy
I wonder what's wrong with him
I think Shane might be home sick
But I wonder where home is
Let's show him some pictures of places around the world
And see which one makes Shane happy

Italy, America, Australia
Shane is from Australia, which is on the other side of the world
Many people miss home when they are living somewhere different
And they sometimes feel very sad and home sick
Well let's sing a song to make him feel better, shall we

You're feeling homesick and that's because
You're a long, long way from the land of Oz
You miss visiting's Sydney Opera House
And going to the outback for a walk about

Cling on, don't let go
You have lots of friends, you know
Cling on, don't let go
We can call your friends back home

So there you go Shane, do you feel a bit happier now?
And we have a little surprise for you all the way from Australia
I think this one is for you Shane
It's your cousin Bush

Did you know that snakes can't chew their food?
So they have to swallow it whole
Hi there Sally, let's take a look at what might be the matter with you

Hmm
It looks like Sally might have swallowed something that doesn't belong there
I know that shape but let me just double-check
Robo I think we need to have a closer look
Can you take an x-ray please?
One x-ray coming right up

An x-ray is a machine that can see through things
We can use it to take pictures of our insides
It's a key
Oh dear Sally, a key definitely doesn't belong in your tummy

Swallowing keys and other objects like this can be very dangerous
It could hurt your tummy
And make you very unwell
Well now we know what the problem is
How can we remove the key from Sally's tummy?

How about a magnet?
Magnets are amazing
They have a magnetic force that can attract some types of metals like iron
Good idea Robo
If we put the magnet against Sally's skin
It would pull the key towards it

And we can move it along Sally's body and back out of her mouth
Stay calm Sally
This won't hurt
And the key would be out in no time at all

Hurray it's out
How do you feel, Sally?
Great work Robo
I think Sally is saying thank you
I think it must be my magnetic personality

Here comes Cecil the snail
As you've probably guessed
Snails like Cecil are very slow movers
In fact, they are one of the slowest creatures on earth
Oh, poor you Cecil
You really don't look well at all

A little slime is good for a snail like Cecil
As it helps them to move as well as protect them from the sun
But this is just too much slime
It means Cecil can't climb walls
He's just too slippery

I think Cecil may be suffering from a cold
I know how to make you feel better Cecil
But we're going to need a bit of help from our friend Shane the koala
Robo do you remember Shane was eating eucalyptus leaves before?

The oil from eucalyptus leaves can help with runny noses
And coughs when you have a cold
And should help our friend Cecil here
I think Shane is just leaving the pet rescue center
I'll go and find him

Thank you so much for popping back Shane
Now Cecil breath in some of that precious eucalyptus oil
And you'll start feeling better
That's all from the pet rescue center today
See you again soon
Bye
