- Oh, great!What big night?

- Well, tonight is the one nighta year when Whitebeard comes

all the way from the North Pole

and swims over Reeftown,

singing his song for allthe good little ocean creatures!

- I love all the storiesabout Whitebeard.

- They're not just stories--Whitebeard is real!

- Well, he sure is, Ripple.I believe in Whitebeard too!

- No, I don't mean it like that.

I know Whitebeard is realbecause I actually saw him

swim right over the reeflast year!

- Well, I haveso many questions.

Where to begin?

Oh, okay, what kind of creatureis Whitebeard?

- Uh, well, the thing is,I--oh!

Uh, whoospie.[laughs]

I didn't get a good look at him,because it was dark

and I was really tired,and he was far away.

But he was bigand made beautiful music.

That much I know for sure!

- I believe you, Ripple.

I heard that if you're luckyenough to see Whitebeard,

you get to make a wishand it will come true!

- Well, that's whyI'm decorating my home.

I'm hoping thatwhen Whitebeard swims over,

he'll see itand stop by and say hello!

- Well, we can help!Hey!

Come on, Reeftown Rangers,let's get some shells.

- Yeah!- Oh! And lots of slimy algae.

- Yeah!- [sighs]

I really wishI could help my friends

get to see him tooso they would see

just how specialhe really is!

[laughs]

[indistinct chatter]

- We're back, Ripple!

- And we've got shells!

- Yeah. All right!Let's start decorating!

- Wait! I have a better idea!- Oh!

Better than shell decorating?This I've gotta hear!

- The reason none of youhave seen Whitebeard

is because he swims overthe Reef late at night

when everyone has gone to bed.

But if we all stay uptogether...

- Then we can keep each otherawake and see Whitebeard!

- Yeah!- It's gonna be so much fun

to see Whitebeardand his big fluffy beard!

- And hear his music!

- And since Whitebeard swimsover the Reef,

we should go up and decoratethe highest part of Reeftown

while we wait for him.

all: Dorsal Park!

- Yeah!- Yeah!

- Let's go!- Okay!

- Wow.- That's the last one.

- I think he'll love this,Ripple!

[all exclaiming]

- Well, we're all donedecorating.

All that's left to dois wait for Whitebeard.

- Well, we don't even know whatkind of creature Whitebeard is.

How do we knowwhat to look for?

- Well, we know he's bigand has a white beard.

- And comes from the North Pole.

- Oh, and he singsbeautiful music.

- Well, that doesn't sound likeany creature I know.

What could he be?

- Well, when he gets here,you can ask him yourself.

Right, Dunk?

Dunk?[laughs]

Uh oh, guys.Dunk is sleeping.

We'd better wake him upbefore he--

Hey![both snoring]

Come on, guys!We can't fall asleep!

Open your eyes!

- [babbling] You're right!I'm up! I'm up! I'm up!

[all chattering and snoring]

- Guys! We need to stay awake!

Don't close your eyes!I know!

Why don't you tell me all aboutwhat you're going to wish for

when we see Whitebeard.

- Ooh, that's easy.All the plankton you can eat.

- Well, I'd have to wish forthe world's biggest mud puddle.

- Oh!- [laughs]

- I wish...I wish...

To get a little more sleep.

- Ohh, this isn't working.

How can I get themto keep their eyes open?

- Ripple, you were right!You really did see Whitebeard!

Ripple! Ripple?

- Quick, Ripple's gonna missWhitebeard!

Ripple! Ripple, get up!He's here! Look!

- Whitebeard is here!Do you hear his music?

- [groans]

- Guys...- Come on, Ripple.

- You're gonna wanna see this.-Huh? What?

[all gasp]

- Whoa!

- Hey, hey, hey, kids!

I was wondering if you couldhelp me out for a second.

- Anything for you, Whitebeard.

- Aw, well thank you very much.

I was swimming by earlier

and I heard an absolutelyamazing song.

It was all about making ripples.

Big ones, small ones,all kinds of ripples.

- You liked my song?

- Whoa! That was you singing,little one?

- Yes, my name is Ripple.

- Well, little Ripple, let metell you, as a humpback whale,

I know a little somethingabout making music

and that was one groovy tune!

- That makes so much sense!

Humpback whales are big,they make music,

they can live in the Arctic,

which is wherethe North Pole is!

- Yeah,but what about the beard?

- Beard? Oh, you must betalking about my barnacles!

- Hi, kids!- Hello!

- Hello!- Hi, kids!

- Hey, kids!- Hi, kids!

- Oh, yeah, this isn't a beard.

These are barnacles!

That's right, little Ripple!

My barnacles go with meeverywhere.

You might even saythey're hooked on me.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

[laughter]

- Whitebeard, do the barnacleshurt you?

- Oh, not at all.They're just along for the ride.

They get protectionfrom predators

and get to eat little thingsthat pass by

in the water as we swim.

- Wow, so then, they get to gowith you everywhere.

- Yes indeedy.

We were on our way south,but I just had to stop

and find the fish who wassinging that wonderful song!

- Oh, thank you.

- Well, I have to say,little one,

your music really moved me.

You make a small ripple,I make a bigger ripple,

but we can all makea huge difference

if we all just believein ourselves.

- Ripple, you sure did makea ripple in our night.

- Oh.- Yeah.

- But there wasn't anythingsmall about it!

- Uh huh.Well, I gotta catch a current.

But I'll see you next year!It was a pleasure meeting you.

- Buh-bye, Whitebeard!- Bye, Whitebeard!

- See you next time!- See you later!

- Buh-bye, kids!- Thank you for stopping by!

[all shouting]

- Whitebeard was here!- I know!

I can't believe it!- I can't believe it!

- Now that we've seenWhitebeard,

we each get to make a wish.

- My wish already came true.

I got to see Whitebeard againand share that experience

with allmy very best friends!

- Aww, I can't thinkof a better wish than that.

- One small ripple to all,and to all a good night!

Ho, ho, ho!

- Bye!- Bye, Whitebeard!

- Buh-bye!- Thank you!

- See you, Whitebeard!- So cool!

I can't wait to telleveryone about this!

- And now it's time to... all: Get your feet wet!

- What's the biggest fishin the ocean?

- We're from the Sanibel Sea School.

And today we are making a life-sized sand sculpture

of the biggest fish in the ocean:

the whale shark!

Whale sharks eat tiny animals called plankton

that are floating in the water.

They are filter feeders,

using their gills to catch food in the water.

The biggest fish in the ocean eats tiny tiny things.

Whale sharks grow to be over feet long.

That's bigger than a school bus!

Whale sharks are huge, feet long,

but they are really, really peaceful.

- That's huge!

- This has been "Get Your Feet Wet"!

- [yawns]

- Ha!

- You're all coming tonight,right?

There's so much food!- Oh, yeah!

- Hey, guys!- So much food!

- I just went for a swim,and--uh?

What's going on? Why are we allgathered together?

- We're all excited to get readyfor Coral Day!

- Coral Day? What's Coral Day?

- Well, Coral Day is a specialholiday here in Reeftown,

where we celebrate the wondersof the coral all around us.

- The wonders of the coral?

- We wouldn't even havea Reeftown

if it weren't for the coral.

- Yeah, coral builds reefsby dividing itself

and making more and more coral.

It's all around us!

- Wow. We<span> should have a special day to thank them.

Excuse me, coral!You guys are the best.

Keep up the good work!

- Coral Day, here we come!

First off, each coral polyp hasteeny special cells

on their tentaclesthat are used for catching food.

- I had no idea.

- The things you learnon Coral Day.

- Seriously, who knew?

- I didn't quite get that.

- I'll explain later.

Gush and I gotta keepdazzling them!

- Oh, yes.- And did you know

that most coral would becolorless

if it weren't for the colorfulalgae living inside of them?

- What?

- We have the same thinginside of us.

- That's what gives usour color!

- Wow! Even I didn't knowthat one!

- Hey, Splash, why don't youtake a turn at leading?

- Yeah, you know stuffabout coral!

Dive in!- Yeah, it's Coral Day.

it's, uh...

all over Reeftown?

- Oh.- Well, yeah.

- We already knew that.- But can you please tell us

how this reef was formedby coral?

- How the reef was formedby coral?

Yes, it was formed--

- It's very interesting!

Coral larvae attach themselvesto a rock or hard surface

and copy themselves--that's called "cloning"--

and build themselves intothe reef that's around us!

- Yes. That.

- Ooh, excellent!- Coral Day!

- Now, if you'll follow me,I'll show you

one of the oldestcoral formations on the reef.

- Thanks, Gush.- Ooh, let's go!

- Oh, Dunk, I gotta tell ya.

I'm not really surethat giving a coral tour

is gonna bea yearly tradition for me.

- Happy Coral Day!

[all shouting excitedly]

- Happy Coral Day, everybody!

[excited chatter]

- Hi there, we want to talk to you

about something very important to us.

A lot of you have pets at home, and that's great.

Some of you may even have fish as a pet,

which is also really great.

- But if you do, make sure your species of fish

is okay living in a fish t*nk.

While it's fine for some fish to live in fish tanks,

many others like us aren't meant to.

- Our species were meant to live in their natural habitat,

the ocean, and that way,

you can always find us, right here in Reeftown!

- Hi, everybody, I'm Splash.

And I'm a yellowback fusilier!

You can always identify us yellowback fusiliers

by the bright yellow stripe along the top of our bodies,

which is where we get our name!

Yellowback fusiliers love to play in big groups, or schools,

just like you love to play on teams

or in big groups of friends!

But unlike other schooling fish,

fusiliers will school with other types of fish too,

which is good for me because I love making new friends,

just like you!

- Hiya, I'm Bubbles and I'm a mandarin dragonet.

We dragonets come in a bunch of different amazing colors

and we love to make close friends!

In fact, we find partners for life, which is great,

because that means we always have someone

to swim and play with on the reef!

And ooh! I almost forgot!

The best part about being a dragonet

is we can secrete a thin layer of slime all around our bodies

to help keep us safe and healthy!

Wow! Talk about yucky!
