01x35 - When I Grow Up/Doing It Differently

Post by bunniefuu »



[laughing]

Look,
Nick!

The wind's blown garbage
all over the back yard again!

Oh no!

Who will clean up
all this mess, Sally?

Sounds like a job
for the....

Super-Cleaner-Uppers!

When trash strikes
- we clean up!

We're the...

Super-Cleaner-Uppers!

Uh oh!

Eugh!

Slimy, rotten
apple core alert!

I'm not picking that up!

Me neither!
It's yucky!

You need a Super-Duper
Cleaner-Upper!

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

There's no trash this
Cat can't handle!

EUGHHHH!
WHAT IS THAT?

It's a yucky apple core.

The YUCKIEST of all
yucky apple cores!

Uh huh.

I...
uh...

EUGHH!

I can't do it!
I just can't do it!

We can't just leave
it in the yard.

Lucky for us, I know
someone who is a real

super-duper cleaner-upper.

Who's that?

Sandy the Sand
Hopper, of course!

What's a sand-hopper?

Imagine a shrimp that's
smaller than small!

She lives at the beach.
Shall we pay her a call?

Yes!

Maybe she can teach us to
be better cleaner-uppers!

Let's go to the Seawaddle
Shore and ask her.

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

[laughs]
MOM!

Can Sally and I visit
Sandy the Sand Hopper

on the Seawaddle Shore,
to learn how to be

better cleaner-uppers?

Seawaddle Shore?

That sounds like
a neat idea.

Just make sure you
hop back by bedtime!

We can go!We can go!
We can go!We can go!

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Isn't this fun?

Yahooooo!

There it is - Sandy
Sandhopper's place -

the Seawaddle Shore!

But where's Sandy?

She's probably
still asleep.

Will she mind if
we wake her up?

No. No. No. No.

She sleeps all day and
gets up about this time.

Maybe we should shrink
down a little before

we say "hello".

Press the
Shrinkamadoodle, Sally!

[Laughs]



I do like my bowl
to be clean when we visit

Sandy the sand hopper.

I see a tiny smudge!
There!

Oh, now look
what you've done!

[panic sounds]

Whoops!

Where exactly
does Sandy live?

In a hole in the
sand......

somewhere around here.

Oh, that's why
we can't see her.

Helloooo?

Sandy?
Where are youuuu?

San-dy!

Oh Sandy!

AHHH!

Whoooa!

I'm,
I'm... STUCK!

EUGH!

That smells waaay worse
than a slimy apple.

What is this stuff?

It's like yukky garbage!

I think it's seaweed.

Rotting,
slimy seaweed!

EUGH EUGH EUGH!

[struggling/cleaning
wallah]

Careful! I don't want to see
seaweed in my bowl!

It's a shame that this
beautiful beach

is covered in stinky seaweed.

We need a super-duper
cleaner-upper

to get rid of it all.

Sounds like a job for me!

SANDY!

Time to GET CLEANING!

Cool!

Wow!

Sandy, these are my
friends Sally and Nick.

Hello!
- Hi!

Pleased to meet you.

I hope you like
cleaning-up because,

by the looks of it, there's
plenty to do today.

Can you show us how to
be good cleaner-uppers?

Hmm, let me take
a look at you.

Mmhmm.
Okay.

You look like
you're up for it.

All you need to do
is copy what I do.

Got it?
- Yes!

Good.

We don't have much time
- we've got to get this

beach cleared up,
lickety-split!

Let's GET CLEANING!

Wow.
Nice jump!

How are we going
to keep up?

I have just the thing!

Cool!

All right, set your
Go-Go-Jumpers

to 'Sand Hopper'...

And away we GO,
GO, GOOOOOO!

[laugh]
Yippee!

We're jumping
like Sand hoppers!

Here's our job for today!

We'll clean
this area here.

Huh?

All that sea-weed!

How will we ever
clear that up?

Do exactly what I do!

Mmmm-hmm....
de-licious!

You... EAT...
the seaweed?

Of course!

I eat and I eat, 'till
I get the job done!

Come on, g*ng!
Let's...

GET CLEANING!

What could be more
delicious than stinky,

rotting seaweed...?

er ...oh...

We'll have to tell Sandy

that we can't
eat rotten seaweed.

She may like it but
it's yucky for us.

Euk! Euk! Euk!

Sandy!
Are you okay?

I can't eat this stuff!

It's horrible!
Eww!

What is it?

It looks like the wrapper
from a candy bar!

Someone must have
dropped it on the beach.

Now that is gross!

It is.

And there's
more over there.

Oh no!

It's okay!

That's the sort of stuff
we know how to pick up.

You do?

They most certainly do.

When it comes to this kind
of 'man-made' mess,

Nick and Sally are...

Super-cleaner-uppers!

Sandy can eat up all the
rotten seaweed and

we'll clear up all
the other stuff.

Now that sounds
like a plan.

Any last minute
trash-tidying tips?

There's only one
secret to this work.

Dive in and keep at it
'till the job's done.

You ready?

Yes!

Let's...

GET CLEANING!

Go go Sandy,
clean that sand!

Nick and Sally
lend a hand!

[moving trash effort]

Delicious!

[pull effort and
sliding]

Aha!
- Whee!

Whoooaaaa!
Ugh!

Whoops.
[giggle]

[effort grunts]

Uh oh.
- Look-out Cat!

Soggy paper ball
heading your way!

AHHHH!
Whoa!

Whoa!

You saved me!

[laughs]

Phew!

Look how much
trash we collected!

And look how much
seaweed Sandy ate!

Oh my!

You really are
super-cleaner-uppers!

[munching]
I'm not finished yet!

Me neither.

We missed something!

It's...
too big!

And too stuck!

Mmm, it looks like
an old hair clip.

[effort]
I can't move it.

But we're
super-cleaner-uppers!

We can't just
leave it here.

A stuck,
giant hair-clip!

What can you do?

Simple - just whistle for
Thing One and Thing Two!

[whistles]

Hello!



Keep that thing out
of my bowl now!



Hurray!
- Awesome!

Yes!
- Yeah!

Well done,
team! We...

GOT CLEANING!

[Laughs]

Thanks for your
cleaning tips, Sandy.

Now we need to get home
and clean up my back yard!

Thank you for stopping by!

Thanks again!

Bye!
- See ya!

Ta-ta for now!

Did Sandy tell you the
secret of cleaning?

She said: Dive in and keep
at it 'till the job's done.

Dive in?
I can do that!

Sandy did a great job but
it's a shame she's so small.

She can only
super-clean-up one little

part of the beach.

Look!
More sand hoppers!

They're cleaning up
all over the beach.

That's the other
secret of cleaning!

If we can all work
together we can

super-clean-up the
biggest of messes.

Like we do at home!

That's right!

Now, press the
Bigamadoodle, Nick,

there's one more
job to do here.

[honk]



Horray, for Super
cleaner uppers!

Are you ready,
Sally?

You bet!

Got your
super-cleaner-upper gloves on?

Yes.

Let's...

GET CLEANING!

Super-cleaner-uppers
strike again!

Maybe we shouldn't
throw this away?

Why not?

Well, we thought the
rotting seaweed was garbage.

But to Sandy,
it was food.

So maybe--

...it's a meal for
some other creature!

Like an ostrich,
or an elephant?

Or how about my old
friend, Wriggles the worm?

For you,
Wriggles!

Worms LOVE slimy
apple cores!

And you two are the
superest-duperest

super-duper
cleaner-uppers EVER.

Super Cleaner Uppers!

[laughter]

♪ [humming]

There!
- Whoops, missed.

I got it!

Wow. Swimming in the pool was
fun, but now I'm all wrinkly.

Me too - wrinkly
like a turtle.

Hey, do you want
to play 'turtles'?

Sure. Let's tip the
water out of the pool and

use it as a turtle shell!

Okay!

[effort grunts]

Oh my!

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the hat!

You're not going to dump
out that water, are you?

Sure... we want to use the
pool as a turtle shell!

B-but,
it's water.

Water is important...it's
precious...it's--

Agh!
Wet!

[giggle] Yeah, and we can
always get more of it.

But not everyone can!

Some creatures have to be
very careful with

every teeny-tiny drop.

They don't waste water,
they take care of it!

But how can we
do that, Cat?

My friend Sonya the
sand grouse knows.

What's a sand grouse?

Well, she's a bird
who's sandy and grousy.

She lives in the
Drippetydry Desert and

knows all about making the
most of every itty-bitty drop!

Why don't we
go and ask her?

Yea!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

[giggles]

MOM!

Can Nick and I go to the
Drippetydry Desert to meet

a sand grouse who knows
how to take care of water?

The Drippetydry Desert?

Sure...
have fun!

We can go!
We can go!

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!



Buckle up!

[horn]



Flick the Jiggermawhizzer!

[boing]

[honk]

[pop]



Isn't this fun?

Yahooooo!

There it is!
The Drippetydry Desert!

Wow, look at all those
big hills and rocks!

Can you see Sonya?

No but she is small.

Maybe we should shrink
down just a little.

Press the
Shrinkamadoodle Sally!

[giggles]



Anyone see anything sandy
and grousy looking?

Ehr...CAT!

Not now, Fish - we
need to find Sonya!

Sonyaaa!

Uh Cat?

Sonyaaa!

Now how are we supposed
to find her in all this smoke?

[sniff sniff]
Smoke?

The Thingamajigger!

AAAHHH!

Run,
run!

[coughing]

Goodness me,
what could it be?

Maybe the wheelwuzzle's
broken, or the

motorwazoola, or the
fuzzyometer, or...hmmm...

You forgot to fill up the
radiatoozle with water!

I did.
You're right.

And without water the
radiatoozle will turn to jelly!

Can we fix it?

Yes, but we'll
need some water.

Let's THINK - where
can we get water?

Fish!
- What? No!

I need every drop!

Right. Fish needs his
water to live in!

We need a faucet
or a hose!

You are so right!

[laughs]

Not a drip,
not a drop!

[sigh]

The Drippetydry
Desert is well known

for being drippety-dry!

Hey! Your friend
Sonya the sand grouse

must know where
to find water!

Of course she does.
We'll find her!

[laughs]

Sonya?

OH, you aren't Sonya
the sand grouse!

[laugh] No, I'm
Jeffrey-- The Jerboa!

I don't look at all
like a sand grouse.

Hi! We're looking for Sonya
because we need to find water.

There's not much water in
the Drippetydry desert.

But I know something
that's almost as good!

Can you show us?

Turbo-Jerbo-aaaa!

Follow me!

[laughing, giggles]

It's so hot!

I don't know how you
can hop around so much Jeffrey.

It must make you
sooo thirsty.

I won't be thirsty for
long now I've found these

-- SEEDS?

You can't drink seeds.

Sure can.

Seeds have a little bit
of water inside of them.

I get water from
eating seeds!

Here you go,
catch!

One for you,
and you!

But how do you
get the water out?

A 'Squeezamadoodle' -
that's what we'll do,

We'll ask for help, from
Thing One and Thing Two!

[whistles]

Hello!





Ta-da!

Wow, seeds really
do have water in them!

But there's only
one tiny drop.

I guess we still need to
find Sonya the sand grouse

to help us find more!

Thanks for showing us
the seeds, Jeffrey.

You're welcome.
See ya later!

Turbo-jerbo-aaaa!

Sonya!

Yooo hooo!

Sonya!

Whoa!
Ow!

Careful Cat!

You know I'm
kind of prickly!

I do...
ow...

Meet Harriet the Hedgehog!

These are my friends
- Nick, and Sally.

Can you help us find
some water Harriet?

Water is hard to find in
the Drippedydry desert,

you know.

How do you find water?

I dig!
Give it a try.

Okay!

[digging]

My hole is really big
but I can't see any water.

Oh! We're not
digging for water -

we're digging for bugs!

BUGS?

Sure. There's plenty of
water inside a bug!

But that means you
have to eat bugs!

Yuk!

Eating the juicy,
watery ones

keeps me from gettin'
thirsty. Care to try?

You're too kind.

But I can't.

Well,
suit yourself.

But all this talk is
makin' me thirsty.

And we still need to find
to Sonya the Sand Grouse.

Nice meeting you!

See ya!
- Happy trails!

Sonyaaaa?

Oh Sonyaaa, where
are you Sonya?

Cat?
Is that you?

Over here!

So you're Sonya,
the sand grouse!

Yes.

And these are my chicks -
Loulou, Cecil, and Cedric.

Ah,
they're so tiny.

And fluffy.

And sooo
ootsy-wootsy cutesy.

[laugh] And they're
very thirsty.

But where's the water?

I don't see any.

It's in my feathers!

You carry water
in your feathers?

Sure do.

Looks like I'm nearly dry.

I need to collect some
more from the stream.

Want to come along?

A stream!

That's just what
we're looking for!

Delightful!

Did I say delightful?

Are we there yet?

Don't worry, Cat!
We're here now!

Water!

Hurray!

Water!
We found water!

I soak up the water in my
feathers, just like this!

And you carry it all
the way back home!

So my chicks can drink!

I see now that this water
really is precious.

It sure is!

Every itty-bitty drop.

But we still need
some water for the

Thingamajigger.

Only, how can we carry
some back with us?

We don't have special
water-carrying feathers

like Sonya.

But this Cat
does have a hat!

[laughing]

Ta-da!

Thanks, Sonya -
without you,

we wouldn't
have found water!

You are very welcome.

Hurray!

It worked!

Thanks to Sonya
the sand grouse!

Water really is precious
in the Drippydry desert.

Yeah,
from now on,

I'm going to be
careful how I use it.

Wonderful!
Me too!

Oops I shouldn't splash.

[laughs]

Check,
check...

all systems
are go, go, go!

Nick, press the
Bigamadoodle!

[honk]



In the Drippydry desert
we learned such a lot!

Water is precious in a
place that's so hot.

The same's true back home,
we need to take care

To never waste water
no matter where!

Oooh, is it time
to play turtles?

Not yet.

We need to take care of
the water in the pool,

remember?

We can use it
to water the plants-

Or wash the windows!

Or perhaps give
a Cat a bath?

[giggle] It won't
go to waste!

Sonya would be so proud!

OH, I do enjoy
lending a helping hat!

[giggling]

Psst.
Hey kids,

wanna find out
more fun stuff

about animals,
plants and well fish?

[laughter]
