Oh, my. What a beautiful night to watch the moon rise.

Yeah...

Not a cloud in the sky.

I hear it's going to be a full moon tonight.

Ooh, a full moon?

Great.

Um, full of what, Bob?

Huh? Oh.

Oh, when the moon looks completely round,

everyone calls that a "full moon."

But it's not actually full of anything. Oh.

At least, I don't think it is.

Hmm.

[ gasps ]

Look, there it is!

Wow... it's so... so...

Orange?

Or is it red?

I'd call it, uh... "orangey-red."

It kind of looks like a rash I once had.

I've never seen the moon look like that before.

Me neither.

[ trembling ]

Wartz?

Yes, Bob?

You don't suppose the moon actually has a rash, do you?

Oh, I don't know, but it is very orangey-red.

[ gasps ]

The moon could be sick.

We-we have to get it some medicine.

But-but how?

I-I don't know if I can hop all the way up there.

No, hopping isn't good enough, Wartz.

We need someone who can fly.

[ both gasp ]

Burdette. Burdette.

[ sleepily]: It's a great honor to win this award:

The Year's Most Beautiful Bird.

Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thanks.

Burdette? Burdette?

Wake up.

Thank... huh?

Wha...? What's going on?

The moon is sick.

We need you to fly me to the moon

to bring it medicine.

What? Fly to the moon?

Huh?

Is this a dream?

[ yawning ]: Because I liked the other dream I was having.

[ sighs contentedly ]

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Wake up, Burdette.

It's not a dream.

Just look at the moon for yourself.

Huh? Where?

Oh, my!

Oh, it's beautiful.

But it is a strange color.

Sort of an...

Orangey-red? Exactly.

Orangey-red, well, that's what I was going to say.

That's because it has a rash.

See? I told you it was sick.

Well, how do you know it's sick?

Maybe the moon is blushing.

Maybe it's upset or embarrassed.

Embarrassed?

What could the moon be embarrassed about?

Oh, I don't know.

There are all sorts of things to get embarrassed about.

Look, Burdette,

if you don't think you can fly to the moon, that's okay.

We'll just get Stripey the bee to do it.

Although, Wartz may have trouble flying on her back.

Stripey the bee?

I can fly much farther than she can.

All right, I'll do it.

I better start limbering up.

A-one, and a-two, and a-one, and a-two.

Wartz, you stay here.

I'll go get the medicine from Snook.

Right.Okay.

I'll see you later.Cool.

One, and a-two, one, and a-two.

One, and a-two.

[ snoring ]

Snook!

Snook, wake up! Ah!

Snook!Oh, Bob!

Are you okay? What's going on?

It's the moon, Snook, it needs medicine.

Burdette is going to fly it up there,

and Wartz is going to go with her...

Whoa, whoa.

Burdette's going to fly to the moon?

Uh, I don't know about that.

It's pretty far.

Um, why, if you don't mind me asking,

is Burdette planning on making this trip?

Because the moon is sick-- look at it.

[ gasps ]

Whoa... that is something else.

I'll say!

I think it's got that rash that I had.

Bob, why do you think the moon is sick--

it looks kind of beautiful to me.

But it looks so different, and, well, um, orangey-red.

Orangey-red. Well, you're right,

but it looks different other nights, too.

Sometimes the moon looks just like a little sliver.

Other times,

it looks as big as

the biggest grapefruit you've ever seen.

But it's still just the same old moon.

Oh, really?

But how?

I don't get it.

Hmm... Well, uh...

let's see if Madge has something about this

that can help me explain.

Okay, Snook.

The moon? Sick?

[ laughing]: Oh, my!

Oh, why that's impossible.

But it's all, well, orangey-red.

It looks just like my rash.

It was really disgusting.

Oh, my. A rash, you say?

My dear, only living things get rashes.

The moon is not a living thing.

It's not?

Well, then what is it?

Well, actually, Bob, the moon is made up of

many different kinds of dust and rocks

that all come together in one round object.

It's kind of like a very big rock.

A rock?

I've never seen a rock that big or round--

and up in the sky.

Well, it's a big one, all right,

and it's very far away.

Yes, and I'm afraid Burdette

would never be able to fly there.

But if it's a rock, how can it change its shape and color?

And how can it be so bright?

Good questions, Bob.

Now let me see...

Ah, here it is!

This is a chart of the sun, Earth and moon.

See?

Sun, Earth, and moon.

Wow, that little thing is the moon?

The real one seems so much bigger to me.

Is it supposed to be so small?

You'd be surprised, Bob, but the moon

is a lot smaller than the Earth.

And it looks darker, too.

Well, the moon does not have its own light, like the sun has.

It seems to shine,

but actually it is reflecting light from the sun,

like a mirror.

Wow, the moon is reflecting the sun.

But, then, why doethe moon look like my rash tonight?

I've never seen it look like that before.

That's because of the sky around us.

Really?

Yeah, Bob, we can't see it,

but there are tiny little particles in the sky around us,

and when the light passes through these particles,

it changes colors.

Exactly.

And that light can make the moon seem orange or yellow.

Cool!

I can't wait to tell Wartz and Burdette the good news.

Yeah!

Uh, Bob, what were they doing when you left them?

[ gasps ]

I forgot!

Wartz and Burdette might already be on their way to the moon!

I've got to stop them!

[ shivers ]

Hmm, maybe I should go check on them, too.

See you, Madge.

, ...

Phew!

I'm getting tired, Wartz.

Maybe we should take this moon trip tomorrow.

Yeah.

By the time we get to the moon, it could be daytime already.

[ yawns ]

Well, Wartz, why don't we rest for a little bit,

just till Bob comes back?

[ yawns ]

Good idea, Burdette.

Just till Bob comes back.

Want to snuggle?

Okay.

Guys, guys, guess what!

The moon doesn't have that nasty rash

that I had on my...!

It's just...

Oh, my.

I guess they got tired limbering up.

Do you think I should wake them?

[ yawns ]

Maybe not.

I think I'm getting kind of sleepy, too.

Maybe I'll just curl up here, too.

[ whispering]: Good night, Wartz.

Good night, Burdette.

Oh.

Good night, moon.

And good night to you, too.

Aw...

Now there's a beautiful sight.

The moon can be lots of different colors.

Do you remember a time when the moon was yellow?

[ laughter]

[ humming ]

Oh.

[ sniffs]

Ah, that smells so beautiful.

Oh, hey, there.

I was just doing some work around the tree house.

But I couldn't resist stopping to smell this flower.

[ sniffs]

Well, it may surprise you that I was working,

because I know what they say about us sloths.

But I do really like to get my chores done.

But I also love to relax and smell the flowers.

[ sniffs]

Mm.

Hey, Snook.

Hey, there, Smooch.

What's happening?

Nothing, Snook, nothing at all.

Hey, that's cool, huh?

Mm.

Um, it's not cool?

Uh, I guess it's not.

Well, of course it isn't!

Winslow's still in bed, and there's so much to do.

I have to clean up the monkey hut,

pick some bananas for breakfast, untangle the vines,

water my garden and then don't forget I have to...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Smooch!

You're way ahead of me.

I haven't even thought about

what I'm having for breakfast yet.

You haven't?

Why not?

Well, because I'm enjoying

the peace and beauty of the morning.

But there's so much to do.

Well, there is.

[ groans]

But, Smooch, before you go,

do you want to smell my flower?

Mm.

[ sniffs]

Hmm.

That flower smells so good.

Yeah.

You see, Smooch, sometimes you have to take the time

to stop and smell the flowers.

♪ Everybody is in a hurry

♪ Rushing to and fro

♪ I guess I never understood just why ♪

♪ But you never need to worry

♪ Anywhere you go

BOTH: ♪ Take your time, take your time ♪

[ snoring ]

Snook!

Snook, wake up!Oh, um...

[ giggles ]: You already sang that part.

Oh, uh...

BOTH: ♪ Take your time, take your time ♪

♪ You just do your thing, and I'll do mine ♪

♪ I said you just do your thing ♪

♪ And I'll do mine.

So, what do you say, Smooch?

Want to stay for breakfast?

Well, I'd really like to.

Maybe I can.

But it's my turn to clean up the monkey hut.

Oh, and it's such a mess. I mean, I still can't find

Smooch?my keeper of the tree badge.

Smooch! It's okay.

A good breakfast will make it

easier for you to do all that work.

I have some bananas right here.

Well, I guess so.

You know, this reminds me of the time

Wartz decided he would never sleep again.

He didn't realize that everyone needs to balance

relaxing and working, sleeping and playing.

Oh, yeah, I remember that.

[ grunting]

Oh, it's useless!

I can't get to sleep!

But, hey, who needs sleep?

Well, uh, everybody needs sleep, Wartz.

In fact, it's very important to have a sleep routine,

so you can snuggle up every night

and drift off to dreamland.

A sleep routine?

Yep, every animal has a sleep routine, even you.

We all need to sleep and play

at different times and in different ways.

But aren't there any animals that play all the time?

That's a sleep routine I could get used to.

[ laughs]

Okay, well, I can see I have to show you some more about sleep,

or I'll never get any myself.

Hey, let's go talk to some of our friends

and see how and when they like to sleep.

Maybe that will help you figure out what you want to do, Wartz.

Hey, that sounds like fun.

But you won't get me to sleep, Snook.

Hey, maybe I can get everyone to play and stay up with me!

Well, Wartz, we'll see.

Come on.

But I still don't... [ yawns ]

...think I need to sleep.

[ yawns ]

Do you, Snook?

Um, but you are getting a bit sleepy, aren't you, Wartz?

I think your body is telling you that sleep is important.

Maybe. But my mind is saying "Let's play!"

[ laughs]

Well, we've had a long day, and it's getting late.

I think it's time to go to bed, Wartz.

But you certainly learned a lot

about sleeping today, didn't you?

Oh, yeah.

Especially that hibernation thing.

And I also learned that... [ yawns ]

...talking about sleep can make you really sleepy.

Hey, Wartz, you know what?

I just thought of a great game to play.

Oh, what's that?

It's a listening game.

Well, that sounds like fun.

[ yawns ]

A listening game.

How do you play, Snook?

Well, all we have to do is lie back

and listen to the soothing sounds of the forest.

Do you hear it?

Cool.

It's kind of like a lullaby.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, Snook?

Yes, Wartz?

I guess sleeping really is important.

But I know I'm never going to sleep again.

I... I just know it.

[ snoring ]

Wartz?

[ laughs]

Yeah, Smooch.

Wartz was so tired, but when he learned to sleep again,

he found the balance that was just right for him.

I know.

But sometimes I just want to get everything over with.

Well, I can understand that.

But you know, even when you have to do work,

you can find a way to enjoy that, too.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

Like I really enjoy cleaning up, because when I'm finished,

everything is put back in its own place,

and it makes me feel good.

Oh, I don't know.

Well, you never know what will happen until you take the time

to really enjoy what you're doing.

Hmm.

[ gasps ]: Oh, yeah!

I remember when Bob took all that time

to get to know the ants better.

Hey, Bob, Smooch,Winslow.

Where is everyone?

They've given up.

I've failed! I've failed.

What do you mean?

I tried to be like an ant.

I tried to understand the ants,

and I don't know them any better.

But, Bob, you've learned so much about ants.

And yet, not enough to make them love me.

Well, maybe if you give it some time.

[ Bob gasps ]

Hey, look.

Huh?

They really can lift times their own weight.

For me?

I don't know what to say.

I... oh.

Where'd they go?

Well, open it.

Oh, oh, okay.

I don't get it.

Look, there's a note.

Oh, read it, please, read it!

What does it say?

Well, let's see.

It says, "This will help you to see

what the world looks like from the ant point of view."

Really?

Oh, yeah, watch this.

[ gasps ]

Wow, we look really big.

[ gasps ]

You're huge, huge!

That's how the ants see us.

They're so little, we must look very big to them.

No wonder they're afraid of Bob.

I seem so big to them.

Don't worry, ant-ies!

I can be small, too.

Look at me, I'm small.

I'm tiny.

[ laughs]

Bob and his ants.

He's spent so much time getting to know them.

Well, he's just trying to get it right, I guess.

Hey, do you remember that same morning,

I spent a long time watching the butterflies

just to see their point of view?

It gave me a whole new perspective of the World Tree.

I'm trying to see the world from a butterfly's point of view.

Ooh, I got to go, Bob.

Oh, butterfly?

Butterfly?

I love butterflies, too, Snook.

They're so beautiful.

I like they way they flutter by.

[ chuckles]: Me, too, Smooch.

Well, I think I'm just going to take a break now

and smell the flowers.

[ sniffs]

[ grunts]

Hey, sis!

What happened to the bananas? Hmm?

Oh, hey, Winslow.

I'll get them in a minute.

Why don't you join Snook and I while we smell a few flowers?

Here, have a banana, Winslow.

Breakfast is on me, guys.

Hey!

I could get used to this.

Me, too.

Oh, hey.

There are so many cool animals in the Big Big World

and so many great facts to know about them.

One way to find out more is to read.

Go to your local library

and get a book about your favorite animal.

Smooch and Winslow

are the coolest marmoset monkeys I've ever met.

Hey, did you know that baby marmosets

are often cared for by their older brothers and sisters?

Yep.

Marmoset families really take care of each other.

Hmm.

I wonder if that's why Smooch and Winslow get along so well.

Hey, what do you think?

Would you like to take care of a baby marmoset?

One of the coolest animals I know

is my friend Bob the anteater.

Anteaters are great.

Did you know they sleep as much as hours every day?

I mean, I love to nap myself, but that's a lot of sleep.

Ah, and they have a great sense of smell.

Hmm, I wonder what smells Bob likes best.

Next time you see him, ask him for me, okay?
