The cicadas‘ treasure Episode 1
They‘re always having parties in Milly‘s World; they never miss a chance to get together and have fun, play, laugh and eat together.

They love to listen to music and maybe even dance. The Woodland Orchestra has fl utes and violins, trombones and double basses...a singer is all they need.
Why don‘t we ask Alice to sing with us?
Great idea! She‘s a cicada…
Episode 1 The cicadas‘ treasure
Milly and Billy can hear Alice singing. Not everyone in the wood is happy to hear her. Nana Spider, for example, prefers silence.
Hello, have you seen Alice?
Listen... Let‘s go!
I‘ve heard her more than I‘ve seen her! She‘s so noisy — I can barely hear myself think! The cicadas‘ treasure Episode 1
I asked her to move, and now she‘s on the poplar tree by the stream.
I‘d love to, I could sing the Lost Treasure song!
There‘s Alice.
Brilliant!
How does it go? Would you like to come and sing in our orchestra?
Episode 1 The cicadas‘ treasure
I didn‘t understand any of it!
Scrrr, scrr, scr...
What a beautiful voice...
The cicadas‘ treasure Episode 1
Of course not! You don‘t understand „cicada“…
Alice tells the story of the lost treasure. „One winter evening, two cicadas were out walking in the cold air when they saw a light far off in the distance.“
So much snow...
Everything‘s white!
How lovely... what is it?
I don‘t know, let‘s go and see! Episode 1 The cicadas‘ treasure
„The two cicadas flew on until they reached a place where the moon was turning into lots of shining rays.“
Look... it‘s down there! It‘s a treasure!
Brrr… it‘s so cold!
Yes, a treasure of gold and silver threads!

Hold them tightly!
„It was really, really cold. The cicadas‘ hands were frozen and their eyes were full of ice.“
I can‘t see a thing…
Let‘s go home, we‘re freezing here!
Let‘s take some threads of treasure... Yes, we can take them to the other cicadas!
I can‘t, my hands are frozen…
Episode 1 The cicadas‘ treasure
Alice‘s story is good, but it doesn‘t end well.
Oh no… the treasure has slipped through my fingers! What happened next?
Let‘s go home, we‘ll come back for it tomorrow.
The cicadas‘ treasure Episode 1
We searched for the treasure for days and days, but we couldn‘t find it anywhere.
We lost it near a tall tree that was bent over with snow, but there aren‘t any trees like that near here...
A tall, bent tree...? Let‘s go and look for it!
Not yet, now we need to go and play in the orchestra! Are you coming with us, Alice?
Episode 1 The cicadas‘ treasure
With pleasure! Can I bring some biscuits?
MMM!
There‘s no need, we‘ve got a Twinny, would you like some?
Mmm, delicious!
