(The episode starts in a wood surrounded by trees.)

Narrator: Poor Mr. Jelly was frightened of everything, and anything! at the slightest little thing, he would quiver, and tremble, and shake, turn to jelly.

(The camera shrinks to Mr. Jelly's house in the woods located in the woods.)

Narrator: It's not really surprising to find that Mr. Jelly lives as far away from anybody as he can. In the middle of a wood. Miles and miles from anywhere.

(The scene fades to Mr. Jelly sleeping in his bedroom.)

Mr. Jelly: (snoring)

Narrator: This story begins, one morning when Mr. Jelly was asleep. It was a beautiful autumn morning. The Sun was shining; the leaves on the trees had turned to a glorious red and the wind stirred gently in the treetops.

(The scene fades to a tree outside the house. One leaf falls from it.)

Narrator: A single leaf fell gently from the tree right outside Mr. Jelly's house.

(Cuts to Mr. Jelly's bedroom window.)

Narrator: And quietly brushed against it's bedroom window. As it fell.

(The scene cuts to Mr. Jelly waking up with a start.)

Narrator: Mr. Jelly woke with a start!

Mr. Jelly: What! What the-? what's a terrible noise? Oh! Oh! oh heavens! No! No! No! The house is falling down! It's an earthquake, The end of world, (sticks out his tongue.)

(The camera zooms in on Mr. Jelly's face.)

Mr. Jelly: Bulululululululululululu!

(The scene fades to Mr. Jelly hiding under the bedclothes.)

Narrator: And he hid under the bedclothes, trembling with fright! After an hour, by which time he realized that his house wasn't falling down and that there wasn't an Earthquake, and the world wasn't coming to an end.

(Cuts to Mr. Jelly under his bedclothes realizing none of it happened and finally calms down.)

Narrator: Mr. Jelly, peeped out, from under the bedclothes.

Mr. Jelly: Phew!

Narrator: He said.

Mr. Jelly: Oh thank go-Thank goodness for that!

(The scene cuts to Mr. Jelly sitting on the table having his cornflakes and a mug.)

Narrator: Mr. Jelly nearly jumped out of his skin!

(Cuts to Mr. Jelly.)

Mr. Jelly: What, what?! Who's there?

Narrator: Commented the Worm.

(The worm goes back into it's hole.)

Narrator: And went back into his hole.

(The scene fades to Mr. Jelly continuing his walk after he calmed down until he goes through the long grass.)

Narrator: After an hour, Mr. Jelly felt brave enough to climb down from the tree and continue his walk. Eventually he came out of the other side side of the wood and into a field. It was empty field. Or was it?

(The camera zooms in and out respectively.)

Narrator: In the long grass in the middle of the field, unseen by Mr. Jelly, There was a Tramp, Enjoying asleep in the Autumn sunshine.

(The scene cuts to Mr. Jelly.)

Narrator: Mr. Jelly picked his way cautiously through the grass. The Tramp, fast asleep, (fades to the Tramp sleeping) snored.

(Cuts back to Mr. Jelly feeling frightened.)

Mr. Jelly: Ooh, oh dear! what was that, what was that?
