The Adventures of Paddington Bear 102

left peru and sailed to england alone

there he met the browns and they took

him home

now a new life has begun he's windsor

gardens favorite son

cause he always does his best to help

everyone

when a problem appears he never misses a

beat

and always finds a way to land on his

feet

looks at everything as if it's brand new

he is friendly and polite and he tries

to do things right

but he gets in sticky messes just the

same

he's curious and speaks his mind but

trouble's never far behind it's

paddington

hundreds of people stuck underground and

i started thinking that it was time

someone rescued them

paddington

mrs brown i'm rescuing the people stuck

underground people under the ground

it says right here hundreds stuck in

underground

underground is the name of a train that

travels under the ground people ride on

it

really

there's nothing like that in darkest

peru well if you hurry up with your

breakfast judy and i will take you for a

nice ride on the underground

hurrying with breakfast was something i

was very good at

the grapefruit though was a bit of a

problem

breakfast along for later

piece of bacon might come in handy

there seems to be a smell of bacon

everywhere this morning can you smell it

hole for us

thank you for helping us catch this

ruffian

we've been after him for a long time

what's your name young fellow paddington

brown it's an honor i'm sure

yes

in honor

so paddington how did you enjoy your

first trip on the underground well the

inspector was rather nice

in the end

there you are i'm afraid it must be cold

by now

you're welcome

so that's why

good old paddington

and then mithia lucy i told mrs brown

that the next time we ride on the

underground she should hold my paw so

that she doesn't get lost again

we were in japan to research sumo

wrestling for mr gruber's book the world

and its wonders

arikishi the kinboshi hire erikishi is a

young sumo mr brown

and the kinboshi hire is the sumo school

we're going to visit today

fascinating

so this is a hire

hello i am the okayota the teacher here

i am paddington brown from darkest peru

from darkest peru

right this way the young mr brown isn't

here to become a sumo he's here to help

me research a book i'm writing

are you sure

i see great promise in him he has a

warrior's fire in his eyes

yes that's it where did you learn such a

powerful stare my aunt lucy taught it to

me it's been handed down

very face indeed perhaps you can do us

the honor of teaching it to our rikishi

i'm sorry but i can't do that i promised

my aunt lucy never to reveal the secret

ah yes

tradition

perhaps you would like to join our class

for the day it might be good research

for your book mr gruber please join the

class in the back i will see that mr

gruber receives a door of the haya

is this the sumo class

a sleeping sumo where's my camera

pardon me my name is paddington

i don't think he likes me

it's a good thing for him mrs bird isn't

here ah there you are

while mr gruber is touring the higher

with my secretary you can sit in on a

real rikishi training session

and this sand shifting exercise builds

upper body strength and lower body

balance

perhaps you would like to try

well done rikishi bears are good at

shifting sand it is time for dojo

training

the purpose of sumo is to force your

opponent out of the dojo this specially

marked combat circle

the first one out of the circle is the

loser

if you both step out of the circle the

one whose feet touch the ground first

loses the match each of you will have a

turn to try to defeat hiroshi

oh no

not him again

next

oops

next

i think it's time someone taught that

bully a lesson

oh dear

i think that's me

he is so puny i will squash him like an

ant

i'm beginning to wish mrs bird was here

after all

begin

oh

lunch

the training will continue in the dining

area

phew saved by the bell

i hope it's a long lunch

it seems eating is a very important part

of sumo training try to keep up with

hiroshi but don't feel badly if you

can't after all he is our champion eater

may i have some more please more

more chunk of dabi but there is no more

oh no more chance well don't worry i

have plenty of marmalade

not only was he a big bully but he

didn't like marmalade imagine that

and now for the most important part of

rikishi's training

sleep

the snoring was keeping me awake so i

decided to carry on with my tour

huh

quickly it's time for the tournament a

tournament just what mr gruber needs for

his book

oh your young friend seems to have

disappeared mr groba i do hope he

doesn't miss the big tournament

ah do not worry i don't think he will

miss it

everyone came dressed for the occasion i

kept my duffle coat on and everyone

seemed to like it

and then everything got quiet

it was finally time to teach that bully

a lesson once and for all

hold on

the bar wins

the bell wins but how hirashi stepped

out of the saddle first and the bear's

paws haven't yet touched the ground

you are happy because i lost no hiroshi

i am happy because you have learned

humility one of the most valuable

lessons of all

thank you paddington's son

and could i please try that marmalade

now

dear aunt lucy yesterday the strangest

thing happened

there was a knocking sound but i

couldn't tell where it was coming from

you'll be pleased to know i'd overslept

and it was only a bad dream

until wide awake i still heard the

knocking

and guess what someone was putting up a

shed in the garden

i must tell the others

have you seen the new shed in the garden

we're looking at the new shed in the

garden you mean you know sure paddington

it's a surprise birthday present for dad

it's a sauna you sit inside pour water

on heated up stones to make steam and

the steam opens up the pores in your

skin

what if you have fur hmm don't know

really anyway after the sauna you pour a

bucket of cold water over yourself

mrs brown and judy worked hard

convincing mr brown to go shopping with

them so it can be a surprise when he

gets home

perhaps i could test it for him mrs bird

certainly not you can have a closer look

but no going inside it's mr brown's

present and he must have the first go

was that you making all that noise just

now oh no mr curry it worked me too did

you say it woke me

i never sleep

what's all that smoke i have a good mind

to report it it's a sauna and it's for

mr brown's birthday a sauna

i've never tried one of those it's

supposed to be very good for you you

should try it sometime that's very kind

of you bear

there's no time like the present come

along

you can help me find my towel i didn't

say you could i only said mr brown might

oh dear

look over in that corner will you bear

mr curry i'm not sure you understood

what i meant of course i did the stones

heat up you pour water over them and

voila

steam

i think i'm in trouble again ah yes a

nice sauna

now i mustn't forget to lock up

as it's my first sauna i think i shall

take my time

lock up mr curry had given me an idea

i was saved

i bought a lock for mr brown for his

tool shed but it seemed to me it would

be better to put it on the door of the

new sauna to keep mr curry out

then i heard the same knocking that had

woken me up in the morning at first it

was more muffled than before

excuse me

is anyone there

yes there is let me out at once mr curry

coming don't worry i've only got to set

up my birthday date the 25th of

of june

and it's not your birthday it's mr

brown's

i'm being boiled alive in here

i see what you mean you look just like

one of those lobsters they have at the

fish stores in the market don't worry mr

curry i've just the thing

stand by mr curry

that's when i remembered jonathan said

the bucket of water is for after the

sauna i thought it might be time to call

in an expert

hello goldie's locks we've got the lock

that's just right oh hello mr goldie

it's me paddington brown it's about the

lock you sold me i'm afraid i've

forgotten the combination that's no

problem mr brown bring it down and i'll

open it for you

i can't really bring the lock down mr

goldie it's locked to the door of mr

brown's new sauna and mr curry is stuck

inside well you can cut it off or try to

open it like one of those thieves on the

telly you know listen for the tumblers

to click and crack it open as they say

thank you for the advice mr goldie

get me out of here

mr curry please i know this will be

difficult for you but you must be

absolutely quiet for the next few

minutes

i can be quiet

quiet as a mouse

just please

let me out of here

hello

good morning

all these locks here

tell paddington i remember the

combination

it's his birthday now we can get mr

curry out

combination is your birthday
