(The title card appears.)

Narrator: A Rival for Little Miss Somersault.

(The title card disappears.)

(The episode begins with a shot of Little Miss Somersault's house.)

Narrator: Little Miss Somersault is so, acrobatic she doesn't sleep in a bed.

(The scene cuts to her sleeping on her tightrope.)

Narrator: Oh no, not Little Miss Somersault, she sleeps on a tightrope.

(Little Miss Somersault wakes up, flips off her tightrope and looks in her mirror.)

Miss Somersault: Ooh! Ta-da! I really am the best.

(The scene transitions to her climbing up to the top of her house.)

Miss Somersault: Yoo-hoo! Look at me!

(The scene cuts to Little Miss Splendid, Little Miss Greedy and Mr. Lazy looking at her from below in admiration.)

Miss Somersault: Watch this~!

(Little Miss Somersault climbs down and does a flip. Little Miss Splendid and Little Miss Greedy, not very impressed, applaud her while Mr. Lazy just stands there sleeping. Little Miss Somersault bows.)

Miss Somersault: Thank you! Thank you so much!

(Mr. Lazy opens a sleepy eye while Little Miss Somersault cartwheels and does some jumping jacks.)

Miss Somersault: One-two. One-two. One-two. One-two.

(Cuts to Little Miss Splendid practicing in front of a mirror, Little Miss Greedy eating an apple and Mr. Lazy trying to stay awake.)

Narrator: Every morning, Little Miss Somersault gives an aerobics class for Little Miss Splendid, Little Miss Greedy and Mr. Lazy.

Miss Somersault: Come on, let's warm up with a little somersault!

(Little Miss Somersault does one herself. Little Miss Splendid tries to do a somersault but lands on her hat.)

Miss Greedy: (giggles)

(Little Miss Greedy tries to do one herself, but lands on her belly.)

Miss Greedy: Oh.

(Mr. Lazy does a handstand with his head on a pillow.)

Mr. Lazy: (snores)

(Little Miss Magic flies by on her magic carpet and looks down below.)

Miss Somersault: You really are hopeless! Watch me!

(Little Miss Somersault does another somersault.)

Miss Somersault: You see? It's so easy!

Miss Magic: Miss Somersault really is a bit of a show-off. She needs to be taught a lesson.

(Little Miss Magic uses her wand to cast a spell on Little Miss Somersault.)

Miss Magic: Tomorrow, at the stroke of 8, you'll be far less nimble than of late.

(The scene transitions to Little Miss Somersault’s house at night where Little Miss Somersault can’t stay on her tightrope.)

Narrator: Poor Little Miss Somersault, Each time she tried to get comfortable on her tightrope...

(The scene cuts to a dazed Little Miss Somersault after she fell off her tightrope.)

Narrator: She fell off!

Miss Somersault: Oh.

(The scene transitions to the next morning. Little Miss Somersault is trying to teach her class, but is too tired and uncoordinated to do so.)

Miss Somersault: And now...for the somersault! See how easy it is?

(Little Miss Somersault tries to do a somersault but falls flat on her face.)

Miss Splendid, Mr. Lazy, and Miss Greedy: (laughs)

(The scene cuts to a sad Little Miss Somersault meeting up with Little Miss Curious on the streets of Tiddletown.)

Miss Curious: Why do you look so sad, Miss Somersault?

Miss Somersault: Oh, Miss Curious! I-(grunts in pain) can't turn somersaults anymore!

Miss Curious: Oh. And why can't you turn somersaults anymore?

Miss Somersault: Please! No more questions! I'm miserable enough as it is!

(The scene cuts back to Little Miss Magic, who had been following Little Miss Somersault on her magic carpet.)

Miss Magic: Well I think Miss Somersault has got the message.

(Little Miss Magic uses her wand to undo the spell she previously cast on Little Miss Somersault.)

Miss Magic: Return to your original self! Make every somersault a success!

(Little Miss Somersault happily does a perfect somersault.)

Miss Somersault: Yippee! That's it! I'm back to normal!

(Little Miss Somersault does a somersault and lands offscreen. Little Miss Somersault somersaults to the greengrocers. A queue is in front of the shop. Little Miss Contrary, Mr. Tall, Mr. Greedy, Little Miss Shy, and Mr. Rush are all in the queue. Mr. Rush heads inside the shop. But just as Little Miss Shy prepares to enter, Little Miss Somersault cuts in front of everyone via somersaulting.)

Mr. Tall: Oh!

Mr. Greedy: Oh!

Miss Shy: (clears throat) Excuse me! I think I was here first!.

Miss Somersault: I'm sorry! I didn't even see you!

Miss Shy: But...it isn't fair!

(As the camera pans out, Mr. Tall and Mr. Greedy are shown to be quite cross with Little Miss Somersault.)

Miss Somersault: I can't help it if I turn the best somersaults in the whole world!

(Mr. Rush runs out of the store and Little Miss Somersault does a mid-air split to avoid him.)

Miss Somersault: Woah!

Mr. Tall: Oh?

(Little Miss Somersault enters the store. Little Miss Magic flies to the greengrocers on her flying carpet and flies over to Mr. Tall.)

Miss Magic: What's going on down there?

Mr. Tall: It's Miss Somersault! Just look at her! She thinks she can do as she pleases!

Miss Magic: Looks like Miss Somersault needs teaching another lesson!

(Later, Little Miss Magic casts a spell over Little Miss Somersault's house. The scene then cuts to Little Miss Somersault's kitchen the next morning.)

Narrator: And the very next morning...

(Little Miss Somersault is shown putting jam on her toast while doing a handstand on the table. She then balances a plate on her foot.)

Miss Somersault: Ooh! Thank you! Thank you so much!

(Little Miss Somersault tosses the toast into the air and catches it on the plate that is balancing on her foot.)

Miss Somersault: Ooh! Thank you! But I can do even better, you know!

(Clapping is heard from outside.)

Miss Somersault: But, who is clapping?

(Little Miss Somersault goes outside to find Mr. Greedy, Little Miss Splendid, Little Miss Contrary, Mr. Tall, Mr. Lazy, and Little Miss Greedy looking up at something.)

Mr. Greedy, Little Miss Splendid, Little Miss Contrary, Mr. Tall, Mr. Lazy, and Little Miss Greedy: Ooh!

(Mr. Clumsy is shown at the very top of Little Miss Somersault's house.)

Miss Somersault: Ooh! Mr. Clumsy! Watch out!

(Mr. Clumsy tumbles all the way down and lands gracefully. Little Miss Greedy is shown walking on a tightrope with her eyes closed. Little Miss Splendid does a somersault in front of her mirror. Mr. Lazy is walking on his hands. Little Miss Somersault is in disbelief.)

Miss Somersault: But...how!?

(Little Miss Splendid walks over to Mr. Greedy and Little Miss Splendid.)

Miss Splendid: So Miss Somersault, how do you feel now?

Miss Somersault: Upset! You're all so good! What am I going to do?

(Little Miss Magic peers from behind Little Miss Somersault's house. Mr. Tall, Little Miss Greedy, and Mr. Lazy join Mr. Greedy and Little Miss Splendid in their conversation with Little Miss Somersault.)

Miss Splendid: Now you know how we feel.

Miss Somersault: Oh. Right. I'm sorry.

(Little Miss Somersault does a somersault as Little Miss Magic walks over to her.)

Miss Magic: Well done, Miss Somersault! You've learned your lesson!

Miss Somersault: Miss Magic!?

(Little Miss Somersault figures everything out.)
