[Cheerful melodic music]



Mmm.

Gosh, weenie girl,

It sure was nice of daisy

To bring us these tomatoes from her garden.

Ruff, ruff

Mmm, I just love a red, ripe, juicy, homegrown tomato.

Slurp

[Sighs]

Ruff

Wait a minute.

Why don't we plant our own tomato garden?

Rrr?

Then we could pick tomatoes every day.

Come on, girl.

Rrr-ruff, ruff

Hmm.

Too much sun here.

Too much shade there.

Ah, yes.

This would be a great place

To plant a garden--

Just enough shade, just enough sun.

Rrr--ruff, ruff

Come on.

Let's go buy a tomato plant.

Squeak-squeak

Hello, bingette.

Ruff

Hiya, oswald.

Hiya, weenie.

What can I do for you today?

We want to plant a garden.

A garden.

Well, I know exactly what you should plant--

Carrots.

I grew these myself.

Aren't they beauties?

Oh, yes.

But I really want to start a tomato garden.

Or...

Watermelons.

Have you ever seen

A better-looking watermelon than this, oswald?

Tell the truth.

Uh, no.

But I really want to start a tomato garden.

Let's see.

Ruff, ruff

Say, this looks like a good tomato plant.

Ah, that is a very special plant

You're looking at there, oswald.

It grows one tomato every night.

Well, one tomato is enough for you and me.

Roo, ruff

Thanks for all your help, bingette.

Just doing my job.

Come on, girl.

Let's go plant our tomato plant.

Arr, ruff

Okay, let's get to work.

♪ Planting tomatoes in the backyard. ♪

♪ First dig a hole. It's not that hard. ♪

♪ Cover with dirt from stem to root. ♪

♪ That's how you get some tasty fruit. ♪

♪ Pat it down good and firm and tight. ♪

♪ Water it well, leave overnight. ♪

♪ When the sun begins to shine, ♪

♪ There's a ripe tomato on the vine. ♪

Ruff, ruff, ruff

There, all finished.

Now let's go inside and let our tomato grow.

[Weenie] ruff

Ting

Good night, little tomato plant.

[Chirping]

Look, girl--

A tomato!

Ruff, ruff

Boy, it looks delicious.

I can't wait to bite

Into this red, ripe, juicy--

Oh, my gosh.

Somebody ate

Half of our tomato.

But who?

Rrr, roo-roo

Rrr-ruff

Look, weenie.

Those two snails are eating our tomato.

Well, they must like red, ripe, juicy tomatoes too.

Here you go, little fellas.

Chomp

Chomp

Looks like we're going to need

Another tomato plant, weenie--

One for the snails and one for us.

Ruff, ruff

Let's go back to bingette's.

Hi, bingette.

Oh, hiya, oswald.

Looking for something else for your garden?

Yes.

Oh, no problemo.

Ooh, a nice peanut plant.

Actually, bingette,

We came back for another tomato plant.

Here's a good one.

That would make two plants,

Which should grow enough tomatoes

For both of us and the snails.

Thanks, bingette.

Hey, don't mention it.

There.

Now it's all finished.

Let's go inside and let our tomatoes grow.

[Weenie] ruff

Ting

Good night, little tomato plants.

[Chirping]

Wow--

Two tomatoes!

Ruff

Two big, red, ripe, juicy--

[Gasps] oh, my gosh.

How could two little snails eat two big tomatoes?

[Sniffing]

Rrr-ruff

Look, weenie.

It's not just two.

It's four.

They must all love red, ripe, juicy tomatoes.

Here you go, fellas.

Looks like we're going to need

Even more tomato plants, girl.

Rrr-ruff

[Sighs]

Let's go back to bingette's.

Hi, bingette.

Oh, hiya, oswald.

I thought you might be back.

Look at this--

A very unusual jelly-berry plant.

Gee, bingette,

We just came back for more tomato plants.

Well, this is all I have left.

One, two,

Three, four.

We'll take them all.

Now we should really have enough tomatoes.

Arr-ruff

Thanks again, bingette.

Well, I'm here to help.

There.

Now it's reallyfinished.

Let's go inside

And let all of our tomatoes grow.

Ting

Good night, little tomato plants.

[Chirping]

Wow, look at all of the tomatoes.

And they're all red, ripe, and juicy.

Ruff, ruff

But I just wonder--

Oh, my gosh!

Weenie, look at these tomatoes!

They're all half-eaten.

Ruff, rrr

It's a whole garden full of snails.

That's it.

I'm bringing all of these tomato plants

Into the house, where they'll be safe.

Come on, girl.

Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff

You know, weenie,

Maybe we can share all these tomatoes.

Rrr-ruff

And I know how we can do something nice

For these snails.

Okay, weenie, let's get to work.

Rrr-ruff

[Splash]

There.

Now it's finished.

Four plants for the snails and two for us, weenie girl.

Rrr-ruff

Ting

Good evening.

Tomato for two.

Bon appetit.

Right this way.

This restaurant is all yours now.

At last--

A red, ripe, juicy tomato.

Ruff, ruff, rrr-rrr

Mmm.

Squeak-squeak, squeak-squeak

[Chirping]

Boy, it's a great day for bird watching, weenie girl.

Ruff

Look, weenie!

There goes a yellow-winged

Butter bird.

Roo-roo, ruff

Shh.

Now, if we're very still and very quiet,

She won't fly away.

Rrr-rrr

Shh.

Squawk

Oh!

What scared her away?

Boing, boing

Hiya, oswald. Hiya, weenie.

Whatcha doing?

Hi, daisy.

We're bird watching.

Bird watching?

That's keeno yaccarino.

Can I bird watch with you?

Okay, but if you want to bird watch,

You have to be very still and very quiet

So you don't scare the birds away, okay?

Sure!

Shh.

[Whispering] I mean, sure.

That'll be easy.

Okay.

Come on.

Boing, boing, boing, boing

Daisy, your pogo stick is too boingy.

Oops!

Sorry.

Wowee kazowee!

What a beautiful feather!

Let's find this bird, oswald.

We will--

If we're quiet.

Ooh, look over there.

I think I see a blue boo-boo bird.

Boo-boo, boo-boo.

A blue boo-boo bird?

Where? Where?

Boing, boing, boing

Boo-boo!

Boing, boing

[Oswald] oh.

Daisy, that noisy pogo stick scared the boo-boo bird away.

Oops.

Sorry.

[Whispering] if you want to bird watch,

You have to be very still and very quiet.

Okay, I will.

I'll leave my pogo stick right here.

♪ Very still, very quiet. ♪

♪ It's very easy

♪ Once you try it.

♪ Don't make noise.

♪ Whisper words,

♪ Otherwise, you'll scare the birds. ♪

♪ Look and listen silently, ♪

♪ Quietly. ♪

[Bird] me-ta, me-ta.

Did you hear that?

Ruff, ruff

Me-ta, me-ta.

There it is again.

Gee, I've never heard a birdcall like that before.

Let's go find it.

Look, oswald--

Another spotted feather.

Maybe it belongs to the me-ta bird.

Maybe. I'll look around.

Oh, boy!

There's a nest of red whippersnappers

Right in that tree.

[Daisy] gee, they're so small.

May I look through your binoculars, oswald?

In a second, daisy.

Wow, they're beautiful.

Okay, now you take a look, daisy.

Daisy?

[Daisy] hey, oswald!

You can see the birds much better from up here!

Hey, birdies, where you going?

Daisy, you're not being

Very still and very quiet.

You scared those birds away.

[Whispering] sorry, oswald.

I'll really try from now on.

Me-ta, me-ta.

Did you hear that?

It's the me-ta bird!

Hurry, before she gets away!

[Gasps]

Here's another feather.

Maybe we're getting closer.

[Oswald] I have an idea.

Let's take the rowboat out on the pond,

Where it's nice and quiet.

That should be perfect for bird watching.

Super-duper idea, oswald!

Shh.

[Whispering] super-duper idea, oswald.

Now, if we're very still and very quiet,

Maybe we'll spot the me-ta bird.

Roger-dodger.

[Gasps]

Oh, boy.

Is it the me-ta bird?

No, but there's a flock

Of purple wingdings right overhead.

Where? Where?

Sit down, daisy.

You're rocking the boat.

Rrr-a-roo

[Daisy] I see them! I see them!

Daisy, no!

Ruff, ruff, rrr-roo, ruff

Whoa!

[Splash]

Oops.

Sorry, oswald.

Sorry, weenie.

Look, oswald-- another spotted feather.

We must be getting really close to the me-ta bird now.

Let's go find her.

I'm sorry, daisy, but I don't think

You should go bird watching with us anymore.

Why not?

Because a bird watcher has to be very still

And very quiet,

And you're not.

I can too be still and quiet, oswald.

You'll see.

Wait, daisy!

I hurt daisy's feelings.

I should go tell her I'm sorry.

Me-ta,

Me-ta.

Oh, my gosh.

It's the me-ta bird.

Rrr, rrr

Daisy, it's the me-ta bird!

Daisy!

Me-ta.

Let's go, girl!

Roo, roo

Me-ta, me-ta.

Here's another feather.

And another!

We're getting closer.

Roo, ruff

What do you see, girl?

Ruff

Me-ta, me-ta.

[Gasps]

[Whispering] wow!

It's the me-ta bird.

Gee, I wish daisy were here to see this.

Me-ta, me-ta.

It's so small.

Let's move closer to get a better look.

Me-ta, me-ta.

Oh, my gosh!

It's so big!

Me-ta.

Ruff! Oops!

Me-ta.

Whoa!

Wha-ho!

[Whispering] I'm going to be very still and very quiet,

No matter what happens.

Very still, very quiet.

Very still, very quiet.

Whoa!

Help!

Hmm, what's that?

No, I'm not even going to look.

I'm going to be very still and very quiet.

Hey, more spotted feathers.

[Gasps] i--i don't care.

I'm going to be very still, very--

Rrr-roo, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff

Shh.

Weenie, we have to be very still and very quiet.

[Oswald] help, daisy!

Oswald?

Help!

Golly tamale!

Oswald's on the back of that giant bird.

What should we do, weenie?

Rrr-roo, roo

Use your pogo stick, daisy!

Boing, boing, boing

Me-ta, me-ta.

Excuse me!

I think my friend...

Is stuck...

On your back.

Me-ta?

Uh, hello.

Squawk

Me-ta.

Hop on, oswald.

Here I come.

Gotcha.

Here we are,

Safe and sound.

Whew.

Ruff, roo-roo

Slurp

Thanks, daisy.

And I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.

Yeah, well, that's okay, oswald.

You may not be a great bird watcher,

But you're a great bird catcher.

Me-ta.

Here, daisy.

Use my binoculars.

Thanks, oswald.

Me-ta.

Me-ta.

Gosh, that me-ta bird is so big!

Shh.

[Whispering] if you want to bird watch, oswald,

You have to be very still and very quiet.

Ruff

Shh.

Me-ta, me-ta.

Me-ta, me-ta.

Me-ta.
