That's cozy, Mommy.

Snuggly, too.

Snook?

Oh, just another few minutes, Mommy, please.

Huh? Huh? What?

Oh, hey, Wartz.

It's you.

Did... did I wake you?

Me? Nah. But, if you want to climb up here,

we can just kind of, you know,

snuggle up and take a little nap.

Well, now that you're awake, Snook...

Oh, yeah. Uh... awake.

Yeah. Right.

So, Wartz, what's up?

I don't feel good, Snook.

Oh, really?

Well, the best thing to do

when you feel like that is to do...

[ sighs]

nothing.

Take a rest until you feel better.

But that's just it.

I have been doing nothing, Snook-- nothing butnothing.

And I don't feel so good.

Oh, hold it.

You haven't even been hopping?

Nope.

But you love hopping.

I wish I could hop like you.

That's just it, Snook.

I'm tired of hopping.

I've decided to give it up.

Whoa.

Hold on there.

A tree frog gives up hopping?

That's one weird idea.

I think you should reconsider.

Really?

Nope.

No.

I'm never hopping again.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm.

If that's what you really want.

So tell me, Wartz, how long actually has it been

since you last, um, hopped?

I don't know.

A long time.

Oh.

Well, no wonder you don't feel good.

You're not getting any exercise.

Exercise?

Exercise.

It's what we animals do, everyone does.

Exercise is good for you.

Keeps you happy and healthy.

Everyone needs

to shake it out a bit.

[ chuckles]

[ chuckles]

Well, what happens if I don't get exercise?

Ah, you're going to feel exactly like you do right now--

slow, sluggish and sad.

Oh, boy.

Yeah.

So come on, start hopping again.

Nope.

Sorry, Snook,

but hopping doesn't do it for me anymore.

Anyway, you don't hop, and you're okay.

Every animal has its own way of exercising.

Well, what does everyone else in the World Tree do to exercise?

Maybe I could do something different for a change.

Hmm.

That's a good idea, Wartz.

Hey, let's go visit them and find out.

One thing.

What's that?

I'm too tired.

Carry me?

Okay, Wartz.

Hop on... ooh, uh... climb on board,

and we'll go see what everyone does

to stay happy and healthy around here.

Up...

and down.

[ chuckles]

Boy, can I scamper!

Hey, Winslow.

Wartz needs some help with...

Hi, guys.

Bye, guys.

Can't talk, scampering.

Oh.

Hey, Winslow, Wartz needs your help.

[ sighs]

My help?

Oh, cool.

What's up, Wartz?

I'm looking for a new way to get my, uh, exercise.

Um, not to be obvious, but don't you hop?

Ooh.

He's a little sensitive about the hop word right now.

Uh, okay.

Well, to get exercise, I do lots of things.

I swing, play tag with Smooch.

But scampering is fun, too.

Scampering?

Does it make you feel good?

Nothing better.

Watch this.

Up...

and down.

Pretty cool, huh?

I guess.

So what do you think, Wartz?

You want to try Winslow's scampering workout?

Well, I could try.

[ grunting]

Hey.

That's pretty good, Wartz.

You think?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa...!

[ Wartz grunts]

Hey, Wartz, are you okay?

[ grunting]

Uh, well, sure, yeah, maybe.

Uh, Wartz, buddy, piece of advice, pal.

Stick to hopping.

No way!

I'm all hopped out.

Well, Wartz,

then let's see what else you could do.

Hop on...

uh, climb on...

oh, um, let's go.

See you, Winslow.

See you, guys.

I'll be right here if you need me.

Got a few more scampers to go.

[ chuckles]

Up, down, five, six.

Up, down, seven, eight.

Hey, Burdette, what are you up to?

Oh, hi, Snook, Wartz, it's so nice to see you.

Up, down, one, two.

What are you doing, Burdette?

Looks like fun.

Why, my morning flying exercises, to limber up.

SNOOK:Whoa.

I guess we came at the right time.

Yes, I always get myself going in the morning.

Exercising always cheers me up.

Speaking of which, Wartz, why so glum?

I've given up hopping.

I'm a frog who's lost his will to hop.

Oh, my.

But you're the best hopper in the tree.

I am?

I mean, I was?

SNOOK: So, Burdette, we're on a search

to find a new exercise for Wartz

until he feels like hopping again.

Have you got any suggestions?

Well, of course I can fly.

Flying is the best exercise there is.

If only I had wings.

Yes, poor dear.

Isn't it a shame?

But we can't all be birds.

You know, the real exercise part in flying is the flapping.

You should try flapping.

Up and down, up and down.

BURDETTE: Give it a try.

Yeah.

Let's try it together.

Oh, okay.

ALL: Up and down, up and down.

Hey, I'm getting it.

Doesn't it feel good?

Now your back legs.

One, two, three, four.

Whoa.

This is hard.

Now at the same time.

One, two, three, four.

At the same time?

Gee, I... okay.

Whoa, whoa.

[ screaming]

[ grunting]

Ow.

That's got to hurt.

Oh, are you okay, Wartz?

No, not really.

I'm all flapped out.

Maybe Ick has a safer way to exercise...

and less far to fall.

Oh, well, thanks anyway, Burdette.

Sloths, frogs...

Oh, well.

One, two, up, down...

Hey, Ick. Hey, guys.

How am I looking, huh?

What do you say?

Pretty good, Ick.

But kind of the same as always.

Good? I feel fin-tastic.

[ chuckling]: Get it? Fin-tastic?

[ clears throat]

Why? Because I've got my morning exercise.

Oh, Ick, have you got a minute?

Uh, okay.

What's on your mind?

Well, Wartz has a problem.

He's looking for a new way of exercising.

Hey, you pulling my fin?

Frogs hop. Hop, hop, hop.

It looks exhausting to me, but I guess you frogs like it.

Not anymore.

And I wish everyone would stop telling me to hop.

I've given up hopping forever.

A frog who doesn't hop? Ha!

Now I've heard everything.

Well, what kind of exercise do you do, Ick?

Swim. What else?

Swimming makes me the fittest fish in the pond.

Of course, I'm the only fish in the pond.

And you like all that swimming?

I remember when I was tadpole, I liked to swim.

Yep, I love it.

Just as much as you enjoy hopping. Oh!

Eh, uh... used to like hopping.

Yeah, I wish everyone would stop saying that.

He's all hopped out, Ick.

Wartz wants to try something else to get his exercise.

Okay.

Well, then, uh... I'll show you

what I call the tail waggle workout.

Then you can hop right in. Ooh!

I mean, join right in.

[ inhales deeply]

Well, Wartz, why don't you hop in and...

Oh!

Sorry.

I don't know what it is, Wartz.

It's just hard to say "hop" around a frog.

But I said I'm done hopping.

I don't want to be ungrateful, Snook,

but everyone keeps talking about hopping and hopping,

and it's making me hopping mad!

Oh... hey, Wartz, it's okay.

We didn't mean to get...

No, it isn't.

It's not fair.

Everyone else does what they do and it makes them feel good.

I've never seen the little guy this angry.

You glide, Winslow scampers, Burdette flaps,

Ick does the tail waggle.

Why can't I find something that makes me feel good, too?

Well, see, Wartz, that's what we've been...

Swing, flap, waggle! Swing, flap, waggle!

It makes me so mad that I want to...

Hey.

[ chuckling]

Hey, Ick, will you look at that.

Hey, look at me.

I'm hopping again.

And I like it.

Yeah, and it looks like fun.

Yeah, I feel a whole lot better.

Sorry I got so angry, Snook.

I must've been cranky from not hopping.

Aw, that's okay, Wartz.

It feels good.

I feel good, too.

I love hopping.

Well, I'd like to hang out with you guys,

but I got some hopping to catch up on.

Thanks, Snook, Ick. See ya.

I feel frog-tastic.

Get it? Frog-tastic?

[ chuckles]

Bounce one, bounce two.

[ laughter]

[ snoring]

[ birds singing]

[ snoring continues]

Psst!

Snook, wake up.

Oh, uh... Huh?

Oh. Hey, Winslow.

Oh, I was having the most wonderful dream.

Oh, it seemed so real.

I was sitting in my chair and sleeping.

Uh, Snook?

You weresitting in your chair and sleeping.

Oh. No wonder it seemed so real.

But, Snook, this is no time to sleep.

Something has gone missing in the World Tree.

Huh? What's gone missing?

The breeze.The breeze?!

Shh!

[ whispers]: The breeze?

There is no breeze in the World Tree.

And I think someone took it.

I mean, it may just be missing,

but I'm going to get to the bottom of it.

Okay. Let's go out back.

Okay, let me see.

[ slurps]

Hmm. You're right.

There is no breeze.

And it's hot.

Oh. Reallyhot.

Don't you always like it better

when there's just a little bit of breeze?

Yeah, I know it.

That's why we have to find the breeze.

[ yawns]

Good idea.

I'll finish my nap, you find the breeze.

Tell me what happens,

and I'll let you know how my dream ends.

No, no. No way, sloth.

We have to find out who took the breeze

right now.

Okay, okay.

No nap, I can tell.

Okay, here's what I think.

Someone has to be cool somewhere in this tree.

Maybe.

Well, if we find out who is cool,

we will know who took all the breeze away.

Oh. Well, that's-that's an interesting hypothesis.

Yeah...

Hypotha what?

Hypothesis. It's a big word meaning a possible explanation.

Hypothesis is very scientific.

Hmm. Me? Scientific?

Huh. Finally I'mscientific.

But, Snook, wouldn't you think someone would at least ask

before they just up and steal the breeze?

Well, Winslow,

I don't think anyone can just steal the breeze.

Do you?

I mean, the air is everywhere.

It's everybody's.

Well, maybe you're right, Snook.

But then again, maybe you're wrong.

But we have to act now

if we're gonna find out what happened to it.

Come on, let's go, Snook.

Hmm. It'll be interesting to see what we discover.

[ humming]

Hi, Burdette.

Oh, Winslow, you startled me.

The element of surprise

is very important in my line of work.

How are you, anyway?

I'm fine, Winslow.

Although I think I just lost a few feathers.

What can I do for you, Winslow?

Hey, Burdette, you look lovely as usual.

Yes, she does, doesn't she?

Why, thank you, Snook.

Despite the heat,

I always try to look my best.

Well, maybe you found a little breeze somewhere, hmm?

A breeze?

No. I haven't felt a breeze in days.

Oh. Then how do you keep so cool in this heat?

Hmm?

Oh. Well, I'm glad you asked.

You see, I flatten my feathers,

and that keeps the hot air from getting next to my body.

Lots of birds do that.

Oh. Hmm.

Yeah. Well, that's one of the important ways

birds keep themselves cool in the heat.

It's a shame you don't have any feathers, Winslow.

Pity.

They're quite functional and very beautiful.

Hmm. And of course,

Burdette has another way to keep cool if she wants to.

Aha! Just as I thought!

Yup. She can always just fly somewhere

where it's not so hot.

Yeah, she can... just... fly?

So, Winslow, maybe we should just find some other ways

for us to keep cool.

No way.

A good monkey always finds his breeze.

Let's go.

Okay, Winslow, lead the way.

Bye, Burdette. Keep those feathers flattened.

I will, Snook.

See you soon. Ta-ta, ta.

Uh, hi, everyone.

Sorry if I don't get up.

It's kind of hot.

Uh, you didn't see any, um, ants on your way here, did you?

No, Bob.

Are you expecting some?

Um, well, I can always hope.

Hmm, you look pretty comfortable there, Bob.

Um, well, yes, it's kind of comfy,

as long as I don't move too much.

Yeah, I know how you feel, Bob.

It was great when I was sleeping up against the tree.

Well, Bob, what I'd like to know is,

how can you be comfy in this heat?

Maybe you've got a nice...

breeze somewhere around here

to cool you down, hmm?

A breeze?

Exactly!

I, um, haven't, uh, no.

I haven't felt a breeze in a long time.

That would be nice, though.

It's so hot.

But you know, ants never cease to amaze me.

They don't seem to be affected by the hot weather at all.

Oh, you're right, Bob.

Ants are cold-blooded, so they can move around

much more comfortably in hot weather than we can.

Cold-blooded.

The ants are cold-blooded.

Aha!

Winslow, being cold-blooded just means that they need

the warm sun to heat up their internal body temperature,

whereas we mammals already have warm blood.

Oh, my.

Oh. And that means...?

Well, it's just that anteaters,

monkeys and sloths are mammals.

Just like all of you out there.

People are mammals, too.

Hey there, fellow mammals.

Oh.

How come I never see the ants sweat?

Don't they get hot?

Cold-blooded animals don't sweat.

Only mammals sweat.

It's one of the ways we keep cool.

Well, ants may be cold-blooded,

but I know they have really warm hearts.

And that's really interesting, Bob,

but it doesn't help us find the breeze.

Come on, Snook, let's see if we can find Wartz.

Maybe he's seen the breeze.

I'll say hi to the ants for you when they get here.

Bye, Bob.

[ groans]

Where is Wartz?

[ sighs]

Boy, this scientific hypothesis stuff is hot work.

Yeah, well, maybe Wartz

has found a cooler place to be today.

[ gasps]

Or maybe he'sthe one who's got the breeze!

Why is he hiding if he has nothing to hide, hmm?

Well, sometimes he goes to the water hole.

Let's check there.

To the water hole?

That might be a cool place to be, don't you think so?

Hey, everyone!

Hot enough for ya?!

[ laughs]

Hey, Ick.

Yes, as a matter of fact,

it is hot enough for all of us.

How are you taking the heat?

Heat? Me, hot?

Forget about it.

Cool as a cucumber, that's me.

But, uh, thanks for asking.

Here's a place we didn't look.

Ick, is there a breeze down there?

Nope. No current, either.

Yeah, but doesn't the water get hotter

in this weather, too?

Yep, but I just go to deeper water.

Ah, the deeper the cooler.

I'm not hot at all.

I could just keep talking about it all day.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Maybe that can create a breeze--

all of your hot air.

What was that?

Uh, never mind.

I was just saying that it's hot.

Yep, well, this fish is going to cool off.

Preparing to submerge.

See ya!

Dive! Dive!

[ making klaxon noise]

Ow-oo-ga! Ow-oo-ga!

We've looked all over the tree

and we can't find the breeze anywhere.

I'm never going to find out who took the breeze.

I guess my hypothesis was totally wrong.

Aw, but at least you did a good job investigating, Winslow.

Good investigators always look for information

that fits their hypothesis.

And I think we can be pretty sure

that the breeze wasn't stolen,

because we've checked out all the possibilities.

Then where did it go?

Well, there may be lots and lots of air

in the big, big world,

but if it isn't moving from one place to another

there's not even a tiny bit of wind to make a cool breeze.

It's all part of what we call the weather.

Good thing is, it never stays the same for too long.

Well, it seems like

this no breeze thing is here to stay.

Hmm, yeah, but...

You know, I have an idea.

Well, I hope it's a wind machine.

Kind of.

We can always make our own breeze.

We can?

Yep. I call it a fan.

Warm-blooded animals like us

have to slow down in hot weather.

You're telling me.

Mammals like us can get overheated if we do too much.

I still like the other breeze better.

It's less work.

[ chuckles]

Now, that looks like the best idea

anyone's had today, Winslow.

Winslow?

[ softly snores]

Well, maybe I'll take a cooling nap, too.

See you later.

Hey, you're back!

You know, there are so many amazing creatures

that live here in the World Tree.

Yeah, we got marmosets, anteaters, turtles,

monkeys, birds, ants and frogs.

And you.

Yep, you're an animal, too.

Not to toot my own horn or anything,

but I think we sloths are pretty interesting animals.

Did you know that I'm herbivore?

All sloths are.

It means that we only eat plants--

sh**t, leaves and sometimes fruit.

That's a good diet for slow moving creatures like me.

Leaves are pretty easy to catch.

[ chuckles]

You know who's a great animal?

My friend Burdette.

She's a quetzal bird.

Whoa, I know that's a big word, but it just means

she's a very pretty kind of bird.

Hey, did you know that all birds have feathers

and that no other animals do?

Pretty cool, huh?

Burdette loves her feathers.

And she should-- they sure are beautiful.

And useful, too.
