Hurry!
This way, g*ng!
Tally-ho!
Man-oh-man!
I can't wait to watch
the sunset from Lookout Point!
Yes, yes!
They say it's the best place
to watch a sunset!
Oh yeah!
All those colours; orange
and red and yellow!
It's supposed to be beautiful!
I love beautiful colours
in the sky!
I do, ask anyone!
Ha-ha!
We're almost there!
Nothing can stop us now--
I guess the leaves can stop us,
huh, Nature Cat?
And wind too too also!
Ugh...
Whoa!
It's suddenly gotten
really windy!
It sure has, Daisy.
Hmm...
Oh...
Uh-oh!
NATURE CAT:
Uh-oh?
What's with the uh-oh, Squeeks?
Guys, don't quote me on this,
but I think it's gonna rain!
(Laughing)
Oh, Squeeks, come on!
Look at the sky around us.
It's glorious.
To Lookout Point, we ride!
Whoa wait, wait!
How do you know rain
is coming, Squeeks?
Well by checking out the world
around me, that's how!
(Wind blowing)
See how the wind is pushing
those leaves?
The wind's coming
from over there.
And it's pushing
against those clouds!
Rain!
Ooh, a bunny rabbit!
No, not that cloud, Hal!
The one behind it.
The wind is blowing those fluffy
white clouds away.
Bye, bunny rabbit cloud!
Keep in touch!
I'll miss you!
Whoa...
It does look like those dark
clouds are headed this way.
You know, Granny Bunny always
said, "a change in the clouds'
shape and colour means a change
in weather!"
Your Granny Bunny
was right, Daise!
The rain's a-coming all right.
The good news is, the clouds
are moving fast,
so maybe the rain
won't last long.
What's the bad news?
You know, just curious.
Not worried at all, really!
It's not so bad. It's just
the clouds are really dark!
And I bet there's gonna be
a lot of rain!
A lot of rain?!
(Chuckling)
Ah, fear not, young Hal.
I have the perfect plan
to save us
from this dastardly downpour.
HAL, SQUEEKS, DAISY:
What?
(Giggling)
It's simple...
Run home!
Ahh!
Nature Cat, we'll never make it
back home in time!
Whoa!
Hmm?
Uh, what's that?
It's gonna really rain soon,
you guys!
Oh, what should we do?
Fear not!
I, Nature Cat,
am here to save the day!
Aha!
Since there's
no lightening or thunder,
let us find shelter from
the rain under yonder tree!
Follow me!
This should keep us dry!
Nature Cat, I'm sorry to burst
your bubble, man, but no way!
There's certainly not enough
leaves up there
to protect us from the rain.
And even if there were,
we'd still get wet.
Well, uhh-- oh-- agh,
what are we gonna do now?
Well we can always, uh...
I mean,
I was thinking that uhh...
Yeah, I got nothing.
Uh, do you guys think we could
make a-- a shelter?
A shelter?
Sweet idea, Squeeks!
There's lots of building
materials in the woods.
Come on!
Onward and yonward!
Okay, this isn't my first time
at the shelter rodeo.
We're looking for leaves,
we're looking for logs,
and stones...
Branches, bark...
Leaves, logs, stone,
branches, bark!

Leaves, logs, stone, branches,
bark!
Leaves, logs, stone,
branches, bark...!

Oh!
Hal!

Hi!
Hal, I'm gonna need you

Et Voila!
(Sobbing):
Why?
Hmm...
I just don't think this was
securely built, you guys.
Yeah, we need something to keep
the shelter
actually standing up.
That's the point.
Ah, too bad our kids can't come
over to help.
They sure make
the cutest forts ever!
I mean, blankets over a chair!
So cute!

That's it, Hal!
You're a--
Genius!
Now, I knew you were going
to say that
on account of me being
a genius.
(Chuckling)
Whatever that is...
DAISY:
Hey, yeah!
The chair is like a sturdy wall
that holds up the other walls!
Yes, yes, yes!
We need something
like that, you guys.
Something sturdy
to help keep up the sticks!
Sticks!
No, Hal-- I-- uh--
Something strong
to protect us.
Yes, something strong!
(Hitting head)
Ooh, ouch.
Gosh, this rock is strong.
Hmm...
Where to find something strong?
Are you kiddin'?
That giant rock behind you!
That's what we need!
Giant ro-- oh!
You mean this giant rock!
Yes, no, I know, of course!
When did this get here?
DAISY:
This is the shelter we need
to build using the rock.
We can use the rock to support
the sticks for the roof,
like this.
And sticks for the wall!
Man-oh-man, we're gonna need
a lot of sticks!
Uh, I might be able
to help you out here.

Sticks!

Let's build our shelter!

Oh no, you guys.
We'd better hurry!

Oh! I just felt a rain drop
on my nose!
Now, we need to cover this
to keep out the rain.
What do we use?
Bark, stones, branches?
Whoa!
DAISY, SQUEEKS, HAL:
Leaves!
Guys, maybe we should put
something on the leaves
to keep them from blowing off!
Um, okay.
This is just an idea, I'm
just riffing here
off the top of my brain.
How about sticks?
NATURE CAT, DAISY, SQUEEKS:
Sticks!
Gently, gen-tly...
and there!
(Wind gusting)
Oh!
The leaves are holding!
Our roof ought
to be water-tight!
Inside, everybody!
Move!
Oh, no.
Did you feel that?
Yay, a drip!
Oh no, a drip!
Noooooooo!
Agh!
Guys, if we can feel drops
in here now,
when the heavier rainstorm hits,
it's gonna pour inside!
Pour?
You mean like get wet?
Like-- like-- really wet!
Oh man!
How can our roof be leaking!?
I'll find out!
Aha!
Fear not,
my fellow explorers,
I know how to fix the roof!
You see that little chipmunk
staying dry under the bushes?
It looks like the branches
and leaves overlap each other,
keeping him dry.
Oh, exactly!
We need to make our roof
the same way nature does!
Overlap!
♪
Is the roof ready now?
It's gotta be ready?!
Only one way to find out!
Let's move!
Oh, man-oh-man,
this is some rainstorm!
But I think we're okay.
I declare this shelter
safe and-- Hey!
Oh no!
We have a leak!
A big leak!
Hurry!
Plug it up!
I don't want
to get wet again!
What do we do, what do we do?!
What do we do, what do we do?
I mean come on,
what do we do?
Aha!
I now declare
this shelter safe and dry!
DAISY, SQUEEKS, HAL:
Hooray!
(Wind gusting)
Whoa!
Listen to that.
But all's good in here,
you guys!
Ooh, we did it, Nature Cat!
We sure did, Squeeks!
We sure did!
Hey, is the storm all over?
I know how to check,
my good friends.
DAISY, SQUEEKS, HAL:
The clouds!
A change in the clouds' shape
and colour
means a change in weather!
I've heard that before!
(Chuckling)
Whoa!
Now the clouds are fluffy

Hear ye, hear ye!
I solemnly declare the rain
is officially over!
Whee!
Yes!

Whoa!
It's so beautiful!
It's amazing!
Hi, Sunset, it's me Hal!
I love you!
Wow, it really is...
beautiful.
You are all such good friends.
And we worked together,

Now?
Onward and yon--
Hey, Hal, you got the water?
Tah-dee! Water bottles!
Now?
I'm here!
I'm here with the bug spray!
Bug spray, sweet!
(Spritzing)
Come on, you guys!
We really gotta go!
Nature Cat, you know we have
to prepare for hikes!
I know.
It's just that I'm so excited to
get to The Cocono Cave!
Me too!
Me too too also!
Wait, why am I so excited too
too also again?
At dusk, the bats of The Cocono
Cave fly out together,
spiraling into
the early evening sky!
It's supposed
to be an amazing sight!
The mouse is in for the bats!
Oh yeah!
We have to get there before
dusk, or we'll miss it!
Okay, we have everything we
need. And bug spray is on!
Check and check!
I'll spray later, thank you.

Yikes!
Don't worry, Nature Cat.
It's just my phone.
I set an alarm to remind us
to stay hydrated!
Ah, but of course.

Ah! Yup. Nothing to be scared
of here!
Because I, Nature Cat, have
incredible instincts.
I can smell trouble
from miles away!

Ugh! Oh, I smell a skunk! Yuck!
Oh!
Oooh! That's nice!
Slow down, Nature Cat.
There's a skunk!
Greetings, fellow nature lover!
(Coughing)
Eww-ie!
Oh, Nature Cat.
You scared the skunk
by walking too close.
Yeah, lots of animals have
defense mechanisms
to protect themselves.
I use humor.
Oh, but don't worry,
I came prepared!
Anti-skunk spray.
There ya go.

DAISY:
Whew! Better!
Yup!
Problem solved!
Now you only smell
a little bit still
like a stinky,
little skunk!
Great.
Dusk will be here soon,
and soon we will see the
breathtaking beauty
of the bats of Cocono Cave!
Sure will!
But look!
There's beauty
all around us now too!
Whoa, check out
this sweet flower, guys!
Oh man, so cool how that leaf
curls up over the top of it!
I love that!
It's like cool hairdo!
It's a Jack-in-the-pulpit!
Oh! What's this one?
Oh! That flower is called
butter-and-eggs!
Same colours as butter
and the yolk!
Mmm, butter and eggs...
Hey, we can save some time
and get to the cave sooner,
if we just cut across
these cute plants!
Hey, Nature Cat!
You should stay on the trail.
We don't know
what those plants are!
Pffft!
They're just leaves in groups of
three, with pointed tips!
Uh, yep, you're walking through
poison ivy, Nature Cat!
Huh! Poison ivy?
Yipes!
But I'm already itchy from all
the 'skeeter bites!
I don't want to get more itchy
and rashy!
Here, wash your hands.
You gotta get the oils from
the leaves off you.
And wash your clothes
when you get home!
Even plants have ways to defend
themselves, you know?
Yes, well...
Let's stay strong, friends.
Dusk is nigh.
