[bunniefuu]

OH.

NNGH! UH!

HEY, WELCOME BACK TO THE BIG, BIG WORLD.

That sounds like...

Stripey the bee?

It was, it was!

Really good, Bob.

Okay, my turn.

[ trumpeting]

Elephant.

That was an elephant.

Good guess.

Can you make an elephant sound with us?

[ both trumpeting ]

Hey, Snook, listen to this one.

[ squeak-groan]

Hmm...

I don't think I know what that one is.

It's the sound a baby ant makes when he's hungry.

Not too hungry, maybe "snack hungry."

Whoa, Bob, you are good.

Ready for another round?

[ clears throat ]

[ growls] [ screams ]

Is there a panther in the tree?

No, it's just me, Snook.

[ laughs]

How'd you get so good at animal sounds, Bob?

You are the best at making

all the sounds of the World Tree, I must say.

Well, all you have to do is listen.

There's animals all around us all the time.

I'm a good listener.

You are?

What?

Do you want to keep playing?

Sure, Bob.

Oh!

Oh, whew!

Oko.

Hey, Oko.

Would you like to play Animal Sounds with us?

BOB: Whenever you're ready, Oko,

go right ahead.

Make a sound and we'll guess.

SNOOK:Hmm...

I don't know that one, Oko.

Do you, Bob?Hmm...

Ah-ha!

Maybe it's a really quiet animal.

[ gasps ]: I've got it-- a giraffe.

Good one, Bob.

Giraffe's don't have vocal cords.

Vocal chords in our throats allow us to make sounds.

Oh, look, Oko's pointing to his vocal chords--

you must be right, Snook.

Oh... you're right there, Bob,

but I don't think that's

what Oko's trying to tell us.

BOB: Thank you, Oko,

but I think we all know

giraffe's have long necks.

Hmm... Bob, I don't think Oko can speak.

[ gasps ]

What? Can't speak?

That's terrible.

Oko, do you have laryngitis?

Laryn-what-is?

"Laryngytis."

Oh, my.

Laryngitis?

What is it?

When you have laryngitis, it makes your throat sore.

But, with a little care, it'll pass.

You're sure?

Oh, yeah.

Well, that's good.

What is Oko doing?

SNOOK:Hmm...

Oh, I guess he's trying to make

his end-of-the-day whoopy howl.

You know how he does that.

Yeah.

Oh, my.

Wait, if Oko can't speak,

how will he do his good night, end-of-the-day whoopy howl?

Oh, yeah.

That long, low, whoop-y kind of howl.

So beautiful, so peaceful.

Ah, it's okay, Oko.

Yeah.

How will the animals, and--

[ gulps ]

ants, some of the rain forest's tiniest citizens,

know that Oko is, you know, watching over things?

[ grunting]

[ coughing]

Oko, you don't have to strain yourself.

Hmm... I don't know, Bob.

We've got to do something.

SNOOK:Huh?

Oh, tea!

Of, course!

Warm tea could soothe Oko's throat.

Now, who has tea?

Huh?

One word, sounds like "badge,"

"radge," "ladge"...

"Madge!"

Madge drinks tea!

Come on, Oko, let's go get

something good for your throat.

Bye.

See you, Bob.

Oh, I've got to help Oko.

Maybe I can find someone to do his good night call.

And I know just who to ask!

He can't talk or whoop or howl?

Right.

Oh, that's bad.

Yeah, but that's where you come in.

We'll need a few more details, Bob.

Well... you're monkeys, right?

Right. Right.

And Oko's a monkey, right?

Uh-huh...

So, you can make the same sounds as Oko can, right?

Well...

So you can fill in for him tonight.

Wrong.Wrong.

But...

We're not just monkeys.

We're marmosets!

One of a kind, eh, sis?

Well, actually, two of a kind, brother.

[ both growl-chirp]

But, it's just a whoop-y, howl-y sound,

it shouldn't be that hard.

Sorry, Bob, it's just not a marmoset thing.

We've never done that.

But we can do this.

[ both growl-chirp]

Those are really nice sounds.

Uh, chirpy.

Very nice.

Thank you. Thank you.

We're marmosets.We're marmosets.

But not very Oko.

Hmm.

This is not going well.

Someone has to fill in for Oko!

Easy, Bob, slow down.

Maybe we'll all be fine for just one night.

But it might take longer!

I better go see Oko, Snook, and Madge and see what they think.

Sorry, Bob.

Hmm, what do you think of this?

[ high pitched howl ]

Uh, I don't think so.

I mean, but it might scare the bark off the tree.

[ laughing]

MADGE: I'm sure everyone will be fine, Oko,

if one night they don't hear your howl.

What about this, Oko?

[ coughs]

Oh, that's okay, Oko.

Not now, dear, let's not worry about that,

let's help your throat get better.

How about a little honey for your tea, Oko?

Rain forest wild flower,

compliments of Stripey the bee.

Madge!Madge!

Oh, hi, everybody.

How are you feeling, Oko?

[ faintly ]: Better.

He spoke.

He's all better.

So you can do your howl.

Whew-- thank goodness.

I always feel better when I hear your...

Bob, dear, I don't think he's "all better."

I tried to get Smooch and Winslow to howl,

but they can't,

they're chirpers, not whoopers like you, Oko.

That's true, marmosets wouldn't make

the same kind of special sounds Oko would.

Every animal makes it's own kind of call.

Yeah, that way the other animals

know where they are and what they're up to.

Oh, my, I don't know how I'll sleep

without Oko's special call.

[ whimpers]

No one can make his call.

Actually, Bob, I don't think that's the case.

Really?

I mean, if a couple of marmosets can't, then...

Well, I know someone who's really good

at the game of animal sounds.

Yeah?

Ah, you mean someone who has a special talent

for knowing how other animals sound?

You Bob! Me?

You mean me?

Oh, oh. I don't know about that.

I just don't know.

Bob, the sun is setting.

But I can never be as loud as Oko.

Try using this.

Yes, dear. Whoop into this megaphone.

[ whooping and howling]

Well, that wasn't terrible.

Come on, Bob.

Thank you, little one.

[ whooping]

Not bad, Bob. Do another.

[ clears throat ]

[ whooping and howling]

[ echoes]

This is fun.

[ chuckling ]

[ Smooch snores; Bob whoops]

Wh-- huh?

Wow! Did you hear that?

That's not Oko.

But it's not bad.

[ whooping continues]

Night, Smooch.

Night, Winslow.

[ laughter]

So what? May I remind you

that there are members of my family tree

that are sharks.

You do not want to mess with a shark.

Well, Ick, I don't know why I would ever want to.

Birds are much more dignified.

I can trace the members of my family tree

all the way back to the first dinosaurs and birds,

millions and millionsICK: La, la, la.

and millions of years ago.I'm not listening.

I know you're talking, but I'm not listening.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Hi, Burdette. Hi, Ick. La, la, la...

Why is Ick going on like that?

Wartz, maybe you can help us.

Ooh-- hey, good idea!

Wartz, come here and stick your fingers in my ears.

But where are your ears, Ick?

I don't know if I want to do that.

Actually, we were just having

a friendly discussion about family trees

when I--I explained

that I'm related to all the really big fish out there:

tunas, swordfish even sharks.

And these are really big fish,

I mean really big.

Do you know what I mean?

Wow!

Actually, myfamily tree is much more impressive.

There are birds just about everywhere in the world.

There are?

Ooh, that's thrilling.

Not to mention the fact that my own species, Quetzals,

are known for their gorgeous feathers,

which even a fish like you, Ick, can see.

Wow, that's amazing, Burdette.

Forget it!

Wartz, trust me, your family tree

is much more interesting than Burdette's.

His family tree?

I have a family tree?

Go on, tell her all about

the old frog family tree. Go on.

I didn't even know my family had a tree.

You mean the World Tree?

No, no, your own family tree.

Everybody's got one.

I'm sure yours is interesting.

Not as interesting as mine,

but then again I ama Quetzal.

Go ahead, Wartz.

Tell her about your family tree.

Yes, tell us.

Oh, my family...it's, uh... it's, well... um...

Oh. Oh, hey, what time is it?

I got to go now.

I'll tell you guys all about it later.

Oh, what did we say that made him leave like that.

Well, maybe it's the fact that you didn't agree with me.

You know the frogs are very sensitive to fish.

They understand and you know... La, la, la.

La, la, la, la, la.

I'm not listening to you.

[ groans]

Nobody ever told me I was supposed to have my own tree.

It's got to be around here somewhere.

I better find one and quick.

Hey, maybe I'll have a family log.

That way I can sleep inside it.

This one looks good.

Okay, ahem.

I hereby proclaim

this the Tree Frog Family Tree.

Um, log.

Hey, Wartz.

Snook and I are going to...

Snook? Oh, Snook?

Sloths are so... slow.

Oh well, I guess he'll catch up in a minute.

Anyway, do you want to come to the berry patch with us?

Oh, I'd like to, Bob, but I'm pretty busy

with my, um, family tree... log.

Family log.

Your family log?

You have a family log?

Where is it?

Um, actually, you're standing on it.

Oh, my!Oh, yes.

Everyone has a family log, or tree, as the case may be.

Burdette has a huge one.

Ick's family tree even has sharks in it.

[ gasps ]: Sharks? In the trees?

Are there any around here?

That can't be good.

Yup. That's what Ick says.

Sharks, even tunas in his tree. Oh.

Just when you think you've figured out

everything there is to worry about,

along comes a tree shark.

Oh, my.

I wonder how Burdette and Ick

knew about the fish and birds in their trees.

Maybe the tree, I mean, log tells you.

[ clears throat ]: Oh.

Hello?

Family log?

Hello?

Huh. Say, Wartz,

maybe I could share your family tree, uh, log?

I don't have one.

Sorry, I don't think it works like that, Bob.

But, Wartz, I'd help you take care of it.

I'd sweep it, um, uh... clean up the moss,

and, um, uh... I would, uh...

No, Bob. Get yourself together.

You have to get your own family tree, Bob.

One for anteaters.

This one is for frogs.

You're just not like a frog.

I can hop like a frog.

See? I'm hopping, I'm hopping.

I'm hopping.

[ humming ]

Ribbit, ribbit!

Bob, Bob, I'm trying to hear

who else is in my family tree... log.

I ate a fly once.

It made me sick,

but if you let me in your family tree,

I'd eat flies just like a real frog,

or I'd try to anyway.

[ gasps ]

Do flies get mad when you eat them?

[ Snook panting ]

Phew!

Hey, Bob, you got ahead of me there.

You were going a little faster

than a sloth generally likes to go.

Not that I can't move when I have to.

Hey, Wartz.

Snook, you've got to talk to Wartz.

Wartz won't share his family tree--

I mean, log-- with me.

Well, Bob, I just think

every animal is supposed to have its own.

And this log is mine.

Uh, whoa. Wait. Hold on.

Will you help me find my family tree, Snook?

I think I'd like one without sharks, please.

Oh, hey, hey, time out, guys.

I-I think there's a little mix-up.

See, a-a family tree isn't what you think it is.

It isn't?

Yeah, it's-it's not a real tree, like this log or the World Tree.

It isn't?

No, no.

A-A family tree is just a way

of talking about all the creatures you're related to.

You mean like my mom and dad?

Yeah, that's right.

Have you ever asked your mom and dad

about your family tree and all your relatives?

You mean, like my brothers and-and sisters,

and my aunts, and my , cousins,

and my ,...

Yeah, Wartz.

And it might even include other animals

that are not exactly like you but are related.

Oh.

So that's why Ick said there were sharks in his family tree.

Right.

Oh! Phew!

I'm really glad there aren't any realtree sharks.

See, if you think about a tree with branches and everything,

that's one way all the relatives

and creatures you're related to can come together.

I want to see myfamily tree.

Me, too!

Well, I bet Madge might have some examples.

Let's go check in with her.

Great. Let's go.

[ grunting]

Wartz, dear, it's so wonderful

you want to know more about tree frogs.

They are so very special.

WARTZ: We are?

Are anteaters special, too?

Why, absolutely.

Now, dears, thinking about a family tree as a tree

is simply a way of thinking who you're related to

and what creatures are connected.

For instance, Bob and Snook are part of a family

that includes anteaters, sloths, and even armadillos.

Wow! Look at that armadillo.

He's got armor.

Wow.

Wow, indeed, Bob.

That's us!

High five.

Yeah!

I'm glad to be in your family tree, Snook.

Aw.

Now here's Burdette's family tree.

Birds can be as large

as an emu, or as tiny as this hummingbird.

That's a cute little hummingbird.

I can hum.

[ humming ]

Yes, that's very nice, Bob.

And now for fish.

There are more than , different kinds

of fish in the world, including sharks.

But what about me?

Don't worry, Wartz.

You have a family tree, too.

Absolutely, Wartz.

You're an amphibian.

You have thousands of cousins all around the world.

They go from the giant Chinese salamander

that can grow up to four feet long

to some so small

you'd need a magnifying glass to see them.

Wow.

That's one cool family tree.

What's the matter, Wartz?

You don't look happy.

Oh. I was kind of hoping

that I was in the same family tree as you and Snook,

or-or some of my other friends.

Oh, Wartz, your family tree is about all the people

you're related to, but you have another family right here.

I do?

Yeah, the family in the World Tree all around you.

Yeah, I guess that's true.

That's right, dear.

In some ways, we are all one big family.

ALL: Yay!

Yeah!

Aw, hey.

I just love how different♪

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.

My friend Ick is a fish.

Fish are wonderful animals.

Very different from mammals like you and me.

One thing about fish is that they breathe through gills,

not like the lungs you and I breathe with.

Water goes in and out of their gills,

and the gills get the oxygen out of the water.

That's the air that fish breathe.

Did you know that there's air in water?

Well, that's right, there is.

Yup, Ick is one interesting animal.

I sure am 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.
