01x08 - Waking Up; The Squash

[bunniefuu]

[sighs] That was a fine dinner, Toad.

Yes, very fine.

[yawns] Now I am feeling sleepy.I think I will go to bed.

Would you like me to stop byfor a morning walk tomorrow?

Mmm. No, thank you, Frog.

Tomorrow morning, I will be sleeping in.

Sleeping in? Are you sure?You might miss something fun.

I am sure.Please do not wake me up in the morning.

[yawns] Good night, Frog.

[snoring]

Aw. Good night, Toad.

[snoring]

[mumbling, groaning]

[snoring, mumbles]

[groans, straining]

[groans]

[grunts]

[mumbles, yawns]

Frog! You are here?

Toad! You are finally awake!Good afternoon.

Afternoon? I have been asleep a long time.

Have you been waiting for me?

Yes. I came by for our walk,

but then I rememberedyou said not to wake you up.

Oh, yes. Thank you for remembering.

So, did anything happenwhile I was asleep?

Oh, a few things, I suppose.Would you like me to tell you about them?

Yes, I think I would.

Are you sure?

Oh, I am sure. Tell me what happened.

Well, the first thing I did was walkto your house with a picnic breakfast.

A picnic breakfast?

Yes,but when I remembered not to wake you,

I decided to eat the breakfast myself.

What did the breakfast look like?

Oh, a bit like this.

I filled it with all your favorite things.

Blackberries, blueberries, fresh lemonade

and freshly baked bread.

I see. And how did it taste?

Well, the berries were not too tart.

-The lemonade hit the spot.-Mmm.

[gasps]

[slurps]

And the bread was gonein just a few bites.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mmm. [sighs]

Oh, that sounds delicious.

I wish I had been awake to enjoythat picnic with you this morning.

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

What happened next?

Oh, just a few things.Are you sure you want to hear more?

Yes, please tell me.I-I-I wanna hear about all of it.

Okay. The next thing I didwas get out a two-seat bicycle.

What did that look like?

A lot like this.

You went for a ride on that?

Yes. After I put on my helmet.

I went for a ride on the bicycle,wishing you were riding with me.

How was the ride?

Beautiful.

The flowers were in bloom,and the air smelled fresh.

Oh. [sniffs] Mmm.

I wishI'd been awake to ride with you too.

Then I went downa b-b-bumpy part of the p-p-path.

Oh, m-my. [chuckles]Th-then what happened?

I came to a big flat rockand jumped off the ground!

-Whoo-hoo!-Yay!

Oof! [grunts, chuckles]

That must have been quite a jump.

I wish I'd been awake to see that.

What happened next?

I was feeling hotand tired from the bicycle ride,

so I sat in the shade of a big treeby the river to cool down.

What did you do while you sat?

Well, I was still feeling hotwhen I saw a trout swimming in the river.

I said,"Hello, Trout. Could you cool me down?"

-[splashes]-[Toad groans]

Ugh. I do not thinkI would've liked being awake for that.

The water cooled me offfor what came next.

Wait, there is more?

Oh, yes.

I needed to dry off.

So, I walked to the meadowand stayed there a while,

looking at the clouds in the sky.

Did you see any clouds?

Yes. I saw a cloudthat looked just like a duck!

A duck?

I wonder what that would look like.

Oh, a lot like that.

Wow. That must've been quite a sight.

Blah.

I wish I had been awaketo see that duck-shaped cloud.

After the sun dried my clothes,I heard music.

[sighs]

It sounded like it was coming from town.

So I got back on the bicycleto see what was going on.

-[bicycle brakes screech]-What did you find when you got there?

I saw that Mink was giving away ice cream.

-[bell rings]-Free samples! Get your free samples here!

Try one or two.

I got a vanilla cone.

And then I said, "Thank you, Mink."

You are welcome, Frog.

I would've gotten chocolate.

[sighs] Blah.

I really wish I had been awaketo eat ice cream with you.

[licking]

So long, fellas.

Every time I found something new in town,

I thought of you, Toad.Like helping Rabbit knit a new scarf.

[humming]

Ta-da!

[claps]

Or helping Snailcatch a piece of runaway mail.

[Snail gasps, groans]

Mmm.

That all sounds wonderful,but what about the music?

Oh, yes.

It turns out a band was playingat the end of town.

[jazz music playing]

When I saw the band up on the stage,I wished that you could see it with me.

-[firefly ] Yeah. Yeah.-[firefly laughs]

What did you do then?

What anyone would do. I danced!

Whoo-hoo! [laughs]

[jazz music continues playing]

-[grunts] Ah!-[laughs] Mm-hmm.

Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.

While I danced, the band askedif I wanted to join them on stage.

-Did you?-I did!

[jingling]

-Oh, yeah.-Yeah! All right.

The band thanked me for joining them,and I hopped off stage.

[grunts]

And that is what I did in town, Toad.

[groans, sighs]

To think I missed all of it.

Oh, how I wish I'd been awaketo dance and play in the band with you.

Did anything else happen?

Not really. I walked back to your housewith the bicycle,

and then you woke up a little while later.

Oh, Frog.I wish I had been awake for all of that.

[sighs]I wish I had eaten that picnic breakfast

and been on that bicycleand looked at those clouds

and enjoyed that ice creamand played in that band.

Oh, I wish I had not slept in after all.

But Toad, now that you're awake,

it meanswe can do all those fun things together.

We can?

Yes, we can!

Hmm. That sounds like a good idea, Frog.

Maybe we can do those things tomorrow.

Tomorrow? But Toad, where are you going?

To bed.

I am very sleepy after hearingabout all the things you did today.

Well… [chuckles] …all right then.Good night, Toad.

Good night, Frog.

Oh, and Frog,if you come back tomorrow morning,

feel free to wake me up.

Frog, look atall these ripe summer veggies you grew.

A very nice crop indeed.

Should we pick something tasty for lunch?

Mmm. [stammers] Yes, I-I think we should.

What about those? They look nice.

And this tomato feels juicy.

Or cucumbers? Peppers?

Corn?

They all sound fine, Frog.

But what I was really hoping foris some fresh summer squash.

That is my favorite.

You know, Toad,I might have one that is ready.

There was one growing back over here.

[gasps]

That squash is incredible!

[chuckles] Yes, it is rather big.

Big? Frog, it is monumental.

Tremendous. A world record.

I am just happyI can share it with my best friend.

Hello, Gopher.

Well, hello there, neighbors. [gasps]

Good galloping gourd,that squash is enormous!

What an achievement.

You grew this, Frog?

Yes. Yes, he did.

Marvelous work, Frog.

Your garden really is something.

Frog is the best gardener.

Thank you, friends.

Hmm. You know, Frog,

at its spectacular sizeand glorious color.

What a fabulous idea!

-Really?-Yes. One of my best.
