Oh, where have you gone, little, um, [ gulps ] ant?

Come back.

Where did you go?

Hey, did you see where the ant went?

Hmm, I think it went behind this rock.

Let me see.

Hmm... no.

Nothing here.

Ah... oh, my.

Oh, my... here.

Look at this.

Ick, is that you?

Hello? Ick?

Ick, what are you doing stuck in t tharock?

Come on, Ick,

this is no time to be so quiet.

S-s-speak to me, Ick.

Oh, dear.

W-w-what do you think

has happened to Ick?

I better go tell Snook.

[ grunts]

Whoo!

[ snickering]

[ laughs, grunts]

[ laughing]

Okay, guys.

I know you're around here somewhere.

[ humming ]

Shh.

SNOOK: You're it!

Oh.

I'll get you, Snook.

Missed me!

Oh!

[ panting ]

Don't tell anybody I'm here.

Hmm?

Hah, you're it, Snook!

Ah, it again.

[ chuckles]

See you at the bottom of the tree, Snook.

Whoo-hoo!

[ panting ]

Yeah, in a minute!

Phew!

Tag is good exercise.

Have you ever noticed how little guys

move around much faster than us big old guys?

Hmm.

[ panting ]: Snook, Snook...

Bob, Bob!

Yes, Snook, it's me and you've got to come quick.

I know you're a sloth and slow and everything,

but this is different.

You, um, really, really have to, uh, go.

Uh, okay, Bob.

But what's going on?

Are you okay?

Me? I'm fine.

Um, thank you for asking.

It's I-I-Ick.

I don't understand how,

but he's got himself stuck in a rock.

Ick's stuck in a rock in the water hole?

I've never seen that happen.

No, no, not in the water hole.

In this big rock

in the forest.Really?

And the strangest thing is,

he wouldn't talk to me, Snook.

Ick didn't say a thing.

[ whispering]: Not a word.

Now that isunusual.

A fish out of water is not a good thing.

Come on, let's investigate.

Okay, Bob, take me to this rock.

[ whimpers]

Where is that sloth?

He is so slow!

Oh, you know Snook.

He's probably taking a nap before he starts again.

Yeah.

Sloths are the slowest!

Hey, wanna run around in circles for no reason

until Snook gets here?

Hmm, okay; sounds like a good idea.

Let's go.

[ both humming]

Oh, hi, Ick.

Hi, Ick.

Ick? Ick?

Ick, is that you?

Hey, Ick, can you hear me?

It's Winslow!

What are you doing in that rock?

Wartz, this is so weird.

He feels like a... a... a rock.

But our Ick's all slippery and icky.

H-How can this be?

Maybe this isn't Ick.

But... a stone version of Ick?

Um, let's check the water hole and ask him.

Yeah, if Ick's in the water hole,

then this Ick isn't him, right?

Uh... yeah.I hope.

Wait right here, Ick.

We're going to ask Ick if you're Ick, okay?

He didn't say anything, Winslow.

Yeah, I know.

Let's go find Ick and find out

what's going on here.

Ick!

Hey, Ick!

Are you in there?

Or are you in the rock?

Um, if Ick's not answering,

then [ gulps ] maybe it's him in the rock.

But how did Ick get into the rock?

He couldn't have walked there.

Fish don't have legs like frogs, do they?

No, I don't think so.

But, you know, sometimes when he's really happy,

I've seen Ick leap up

high out of the water.

Maybe he leaped a little too far this time

and missed the water hole altogether.

But it's a long leap from the water hole

to the rock, Wartz.

You know,

I remember Smooch saying

she was talking to Ick this morning.

Well, what are we waiting for, Winslow?

Let's go ask Smooch if she saw Ick leap.

Hello? Hello?

Was someone calling me?

Eh, kids.

See, look.

Snook, I told you.

Ick's s-stuck in the rock.

Oh, interesting discovery, Bob.

Interesting?

But it's Ick.

What about Ick?

Aren't you worried about him?

Oh, Bob, I don't really think this is our Ick.

This may be an Ick from a long, long time ago.

Really?

Oh, yeah, you see

this isn't a living fish like Ick.

It's a fossil.

A fossil?

Yep, a fossil.

What's a fossil, Snook?

That's a funny sounding word.

Well, Bob, a fossil is a kind of copy, or impression

of an animal that lived many millions of years ago.

Millions of years ago?

How long ago is that?

Is that before I was born, Snook?

[ chuckles ]: It certainly is, Bob.

Before you were born,

before I was born or even before Madge was born.

No way! Way!

It might even be from way back when,

before dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Whoa, Snook, before even Madge was born?

That has to be a really, really long time ago.

Hmm, let's see.

I think I might be able to pry

part of this rock loose.

Let's go show Madge.

I think she'd like to see this.

Bob, you got the other end there?

[ grunts]: Yeah.

SNOOK: What do you think, Madge?

Hmm, oh, my, yes.

Yes, that does look quite a lot like our friend Ick.

Although he's a little longer

and he's a little larger.

Hmm... oh, what a wonderful discovery you've made.

So, how did this f-fossil get in the rock, Madge.

Rocks are hard.

I didn't think fish could swim inside a rock.

Well, they can't.

But a long, long time ago,

millions of years ago, this forest was a big lake

where fish used to swim.

A big lake?

I guess Ick's water hole is all that's left now.

Possibly yes, very possible.

Now, let's see... so, when

this fish d*ed, it lay on the bottom of the lake

and was quickly covered under layers

and layers of mud,

which eventually became rock

and as the fish's body disappeared,

it left this impression, or copy.

And that's what we call a fossil.

A fossil.

But why does it look like Ick, Madge?

That's because it most likely

came from the same fish family as Ick does.

Hey, kind of like one of his relatives

from way back, Bob.

Wow, wait until I tell Ick.

Bye.

Oh, if this one of your silly jokes, Winslow.

No, it's not a joke, sis.

Ick really is stuck in the rock.

See.

Wh...? [ gasps ]

He's gone.

No kidding, a relative of mine you say?

That's amazing and it's in a fossil?

Well, I knew I came from a long line

of distinguished fish.

Yep, you sure do, Ick.

SMOOCH: Ick, Ick!

You're back in the water hole.

And where else would I be?

Hah, so I was right,

you werejoking, Winslow.

Wh... it... ah... what?

I... I didn't... it... oh...

So, how did you get from the water hole

to the rock, Ick?Um, Winslow.

Have you ever heard of a fossil?

Huh?

See, millions and millions of years ago,

before even Madge was born...

[ laughter]

Hmm... ahh.

WINSLOW: Oh, Burdette.

Hello? Winslow, is that you?

SMOOCH: Hey, Burdette.

Smooch, where are you?

Right down here, Burdette.

Yeah.

How did you two know I was home from down there?

We saw you.

Saw me?

Oh, you can't see me from down there.

Oh, yeah, we can now, Burdette.

[ laughs]: You've got a hole

in the bottom of your nest.

Yeah, your tail feathers were sticking right through.

A hole? Oh, no.

Well, how embarrassing.

Oh, my, I thought it was drafty.

Well, that must have just happened.

What am I going to do now?

Ah, hey, a little mud patch

and your nest will be good as new.

Oh, no, Smooch.

Well, it's not that easy.

Patched things are never the same.

They have bumps and sharp bits

and they're always uncomfortable.

Oh, and I was so happy with my nest!

And now it has such a large hole!

Oh, it's okay, Burdette.

We can help you...I'm going to have to build a new nest.

Another nest?

You mean you might move?

Well, I might have to.

Oh, come on, Burdette.

Can't you find something... BURDETTE: Find another tree?

Oh, my, I just might have to!

[ together]: Another tree?

Move?

Oh, I better tell Snook.

Whoa...

Hey.

Have you ever looked at the world from upside down?

Uh, Snook, what are you doing?

SNOOK: Oh, hey, Smooch,

I'm hanging upside down.

And... why, if you don't mind me asking ?

Just to see what it looks like.

It's kind of different, you know?

Kind of... well... upside down.

Uh... yeah.

Okay, Snook, we don't have time for this.

Burdette is moving to another nest,

maybe another tree.

She's leaving.

We've got to stop her.

Whoa, this sounds serious, Smooch.

Why would she want to leave us?

It's her nest.

It's got a hole in it.

Oh, Snook.

My nest...

[ grunts]

I'm sorry, Burdette.

What will I do?

Oh, Burdette.

I don't know if you've thought of this, Burdette,

but you could, uh, fix the hole.

Oh, not this hole.

It's way too big.

Way too big.

I don't know how I missed it.

Well, how I let it get so big.

[ weepy ]: Too big and...

I just don't think I can talk about it anymore.

Oh, what can we do, Snook?

Hmm... okay.

You go down to Ick's water hole and tell him we need

some of that really thick, icky mud.

Ew.

[ humming ]

Well, that's it, Snook.

I've used up all the mud.

Great.

She's going to love this.

Should I try sitting in it to smooth out the rough edges?

Uh-oh, here she comes.

We better go.

[ Snook grunts]

[ Smooch gasps]

[ giggles ]

Hmm.

Look.

My nest.

Someone put some new mud in here.

Ooh, I can't wait until she settles in.

I wonder who?

Well...

I might as well try it out.

[ humming ]

No bumps or sharp bits.

You know, this feels almost the same.

[ gasps ]

Ooh! [ giggles ]

Oh, yay.

I'll just snuggle down.

[ moans ]

[ sighs ]

[ contented sigh]

Oh, oh, oh!

[ gasps ]: Oh, no.

Oh!

Why it's worse than before.

How could anyone do this to me?

Oh, no.

I think I need some expert advice.

Norwhals?

Oh, no, no.

Now I've gone too far.

Neighbors. Yeah, that's better.

Neurology.

Oh, no. Uh...

Aha! Nests!

Here we go.

Yeah, we tried, Madge,

but I guess we didn't know what to use.

Yeah, and Burdette is really a bit, uh, uh, frazzled.

Well, I'm sure we can find something in here

that will help.

Well, you see, birds use all kinds of material

for their nests,

but most prefer the mud-twig-feather method best.

Although, some build their nests from some

very interesting materials.

Oh, look here.

Weaverbirds build their nests

by weaving grass into large hollow baskets.

Oh.

And they like to live together to keep each other company.

Hmm.

But what about quetzals?

Ah, quetzals.

Well, they usually dig out spaces

in tree stumps to nest in.

But Burdette's taken her own unique approach

when it comes to nesting.

Unique, eh?

Sounds like Burdette to me.

If I remember correctly,

she prefers the twig and feathers approach.

Just like Burdette to do her own way.

But you may need to get Burdette involved a bit more.

That's true.

Birds like their nests just so.

Especially Burdette.

Well, let's go talk to her and see if we can help her think

about how to fix it.

Hmm. Sounds good to me.

Good luck, dears.

Thanks, Madge.

Thanks, Madge.

SMOOCH & SNOOK: Hey, Burdette.

Oh. Hi, Smooch, Snook.

I don't know what to do.

I just don't know what to do.

And that's so unusual for me.

Well, don't you think?

I always know what to do.

True. True.

That-that's true, Burdette.

Oh, I wish you did, Burdette,

because we don't want you to leave.

Oh, I know, Smooch.

Well, neither do I, but

I just don't know what to do.

I think you do know, Burdette.

After all, you are the number one expert

about nests in the World Tree as far as I'm concerned.

Really?

Do you think so?

I know so.

Yeah, Burdette.

Aren't you the one who built this nest so long ago?

Well, yes.

But building a nest from scratch is very different from...

Well, I guess...

maybe it's not.

That's the spirit, Burdette.

Yeah, and we can help you get anything you need, Burdette,

like twigs or leaves, anything.

Well, okay, then.

I guess we better get started, because-- can you believe it?--

someone tried to patch my nest with just mud.

Just mud!

[ laughs]: Can you

believe it?

[ laughs]

Who could have done that? Smooch?

[ laughs]

I haveno clue!

Mud?

Who ever heard of such a thing?

[ laughs]

SNOOK: Um... um, let's get started.

Hmm. Well, there we are.

Hmm. I hope this works.

Well, it looks sturdy enough, doesn't it?

Mm, yes it does.

And it looks comfortable enough, doesn't it?

Yes, it does, but you never know

until you give it the "settle in" test.

Well, there's no time like the present.

Okay.

Well... oh...

Here it goes.

Oh, you're going to love it, Burdette.

[ gasps ]

Oh!

Oh. Oh!

Ah.

Oh...!

Oh, it's okay.

[ laughs]: It's okay.

One second.

This is all a part of the settle in process.

Hmm... hmm...

Oh. Ah!

Lovely.

Oh, and it's warmer than before.

Yay! Yay!

Why, Snook, you were right.

I was?

Yes, Snook.

I amthe expert you thought I was.

Well, we've done a perfect job of fixing my nest.

Absolutely perfect.

See, I knew it just took the right balance of twigs

and a few of my old

feathers, and I just...

Oh, I'm sorry.

Am I going on and on?

Oh... no, Burdette.

Go right ahead.

Oh, yeah.

Just go right ahead.

We want to know all about it.

Well, actually, you need to make sure

the twigs don't have too many bends, but not too few.

See, if they curve just right,

and you weave them just so...

all the creatures that live here in the World Tree are.

You can meet a lot of different animals, too.

Visit the zoo, and maybe you can come back

and tell me about some animals that I've never met.

See ya.

SNOOK: I am sure lucky to have so many interesting friends.

Like Oko.

Did you know

there are some monkeys called howler monkeys

who can howl so loud that their calls can be heard

almost two miles away?

Whoa! If you were a howler monkey,

you could have quite a long distance conversation.

No need for a telephone.

You could just open the window

and howl to your friend who lives down the street.

But I think your mom or dad might ask you to keep it down.

There are lots of cool things to learn about animals.

Like Wartz.

Wartz is an amphibian.

Did you know that?

You're probably wondering, hey, what's an amphibian?

Well, an amphibian is an animal that can live both on land

and in the water.

Do you remember when Wartz had his metamorphoses?

He grew from being a tadpole swimming in the pond

to a frog that can hop on land.

Can you think of another kind of animal

that has a metamorphoses?
