Don't you just love

Ballet class, valerie?

The tutus and the ballet slippers,

It's all so beautiful!

Ballet class is fun,

But I'm really looking forward to making the poster

For the bunny scout dance recital.

Yes, it was a great idea

To draw a life-sized bunny ballerina.

Thanks.

I've never tried to draw a life-sized bunny ballerina.

Have you, valerie?

No, but how hard can it be?

We're both bunnies,

And we're both ballerinas, right?

Oh!

Well, almost.

I guess I need more practice.

There will be lots of time for that

After we finish the poster.

Hmm.

[Wind whistling]

[Gasps happily]

[Cheerful piano and xylophone music]

♪ ♪

[Sneaky music]

Let's try drawing the outline first,

And then we'll fill in the rest later.

What position should she be in?

Hmm.

The arabesque!

That's my favorite.

Mine too.

Oh!

Maybe we can draw it better than we can do it.

Max,

Your shadow's getting in the way.

Shadow?

You know what your shadow is, don't you, max?

Everyone has a shadow.

See?

It's what happens when a light shines on you.

Your shadow does whatever you do.

Say hello to your shadow, max.

You play with your shadow

While valerie and I work on our poster.

Shadow!

Shadow?

Wow!

That's a great elephant, ruby.

I like elephants.

So do i.

But this isn't supposed to be a zoo poster.

It's supposed to be a life-sized bunny ballerina poster.

We'll have to start again.

Shadow.

Max, I thought you were playing

With your shadow over by the fence.

Your shadow can't be here without you, max.

Here, valerie.

You try drawing another ballerina

While I take max to play with his shadow.

Shadow!

See? There it is.

Have fun, max.

I started to draw a ballerina.

But it ended up looking more like a giraffe.

Hmm.

What we need is a ballerina we can copy.

Something life size...

Like me.

Valerie, that's it!

I can copy you.

Shadow.

Max, you and your shadow

Should be playing over by the fence,

Not here.

We're trying to work.

Okay, max.

You go put on your ballerina costume.

I'll be right back.

There it is, right where you left it.

Have a good time, max.

You too, max's shadow!

Hi, max.

Playing with your shadow, are you?

Have you ever tried this?

Looks just like a dog, doesn't it?

Woof!

Woof!

[Laughs]

Nice meeting your dog, max.

Bye!

Woof, woof!

That's it, valerie.

Now hold still while I draw you.

Okay.

[Marker squeaking]

Are you done yet?

Keep still.

You're making the lines go all wiggly.

I can't help it.

Hold on.

Hurry!

I'm going to fall!

I'm drawing as fast as I can!

Ah!

Sorry, ruby.

I guess I need more lessons.

That's okay.

(Max) shadow.

What's the matter, max?

Why aren't you playing with your shadow?

He's going to be lonely over there without you.

Come on; let's go back and keep him company.

It looks like your shadow has gone, max.

The sun must be behind that cloud.

Shadows don't like to play outside

When it's cloudy.

Why don't you play with your balloon

While I get back to my ballerina poster?

We'll never get this poster finished, ruby.

What are we going to do?

Don't worry, valerie.

We'll think of something.

Grandma always says

There's sunshine around every corner.

Here comes the sun, max.

Start looking for your--

Oh!

Freeze, max!

(Valerie) max's shadow

Reaching for his balloon

Is a perfect arabesque pose.

Thanks, max.

Now we have our poster.

And whenever the sun goes away...

[Wind whistles]

You still have your...

Shadow!

More tea, mr. Quack?

Thank you for coming to my tea party.

What's that, emily?

Curly shirley wants another cookie

But she's too shy to ask?

Of course you can have

Another cookie, curly shirley.

Don't feel shy.

Wait, max.

What's that tied around your finger?

String.

A string tied around your finger can only mean one thing.

You know what it means, don't you, curly shirley?

It's what you do when you're trying

To remember something.

You tie a string around your finger

Like this.

And every time you see it,

You think of the thing you're supposed to remember.

So what are you trying to remember

With that string around your finger, max?

String.

Don't tell me you've forgotten already.

Don't worry, max.

I'll help you remember why you tied

That string around your finger.

Aha!

You didn't put your dirty dishes

In the sink after lunch.

Is this what you wanted to remember?

String.

(Ruby) this is no time to play, max.

We have to remember

What you're supposed to remember.

Aha!

This must be what you want to remember:

To finish your jigsaw puzzle.

Let's see...

I wonder what the picture is.

Hmm.

This is the last piece.

Let's see how it fits

Into the puzzle.

It's a spaceship!

That's that puzzle solved.

You don't need that string anymore, max.

Let me take it off your finger for you.

String!

You mean finishing your jigsaw puzzle

Isn't what you wanted to remember?

What else can it be?

Hmm.

Maybe there's something upstairs you have to remember.

I see you remembered to brush your teeth, max.

But you didn't remember to put the top

Back on the toothpaste tube

Or clean your toothbrush

And put it back in its holder.

Is that it, max?

String.

Hmm.

What you want to remember must be in your bedroom.

Aha!

This room is a big mess.

I think someone wanted to remember

To clean all this up.

Don't forget to fold your pajamas, max.

Remember to put all your toys

Neatly on the bed

So they're right where you need them at bedtime.

Books go back on the bookshelf.

Smelly socks go in the laundry hamper...

As quickly as possible.

Whew!

It's a good thing we remembered to do that.

You can untie that string, max.

All the chores you needed to remember

Are done.

String!

You mean remembering to do your chores isn't why

You tied that string around your finger?

This is no time for games, max.

I have to help you remember.

It might be something important.

Aha!

That string must be to remind you

To feed your ants.

Back to the ant farm.

Quick march.

Ants can't resist the special ant food.

To ants, this food tastes like chocolate cake

With raspberry fluff icing.

You can take that string off your finger now, max.

You've remembered to feed your ants.

String.

I could use some chocolate cake

With raspberry fluff icing right about now too.

Mmm, grandma's famous chocolate cake.

And a glass of milk.

Maybe that's what you wanted to remember, max:

To have a snack.

You can take off the string now, max.

We've solved the mystery.

String.

How can you think about toys at a time like this, max?

I'm trying to help you remember

Why you tied that string around your finger.

It isn't grandma's birthday.

You don't have any overdue library books.

And you remembered to brush your teeth.

I finished your jigsaw puzzle,

Cleaned up your room, rescued your ant farm,

And made you a snack.

I've done all your chores.

There's nothing left to remember.

I wish I knew what that string was for.

I don't know why you want to play with that yo-yo,

Max.

It doesn't even have a--

String!

[Laughs] max.

[Rings]

Candy.

No, max.

We're not here to eat candy;

We're here to help sell it.

And not a moment too soon.

Hi, ruby. Hi, max.

[Together] hi, candi.

Thanks for helping me earn my bunny scout career badge.

I can't wait to learn

All about running a candy store.

Well, you're going to learn a lot today.

I just received a shipment of new candies,

And you're going to design the display.

I am?

This is going to be great.

Isn't it, max?

Candy!

No, max.

No eating.

I think you have the best job

In the whole world.

Yes, I have to admit, it's a pretty sweet job.

What do you want me to do?

You can come to the back of the store

And get more candies for display.

Max, you can't eat candy.

But I have a special snack for you, all right?

Grapes!

They're good for you and tasty too.

What do I need to know

To be a good candy store owner, candi?

Know your product.

You can't sell your customers something

Unless you know it's good.

You mean it's all right

For me to taste all your candies?

All right? It's your job.

Now I'm positive you have

The best job in the world.

I'll take these to the front.

Candi says it's my job to know what all the candies taste like.

Mmm, lemony good with just enough sweetness

To make it yummy.

Candy.

No, max.

I'm not eating this candy for fun;

I'm doing my job.

Are the grapes all gone?

All right, I guess it's okay

If you have one candy.

Mmm!

Max, if you're still hungry, you can have these cherries.

You'll get sick if all you eat is candy.

Hmm.

There, that's better.

I'm going to get some more candies

To put on display.

I'll be right back.

You eat your cherries, max.

I put the lemon yums on the right side of the counter.

Is that okay, candi?

Right sounds just right to me.

See what you can do with these little sweethearts.

Candy.

Max, you need to eat healthy foods,

Like fruit.

Here; have these orange slices.

They're juicy and sweet.

"Choco-strawberry bubbles."

I wonder if they're as good as they sound.

It's my job to find out.

Mmm.

Bursting with strawberry flavor and wrapped

In an extra chocolatey chocolate coating.

I think I'm getting the hang of this candy store business.

How's my new worker working out?

Just fine, candi.

Goody gumdrops,

As we candy store owners like to say.

Ready for some more?

Ready as...

Brownies in the oven.

[Laughs]

That's a good one.

I'll have to remember that.

Candy!

No, max.

I don't want you to get sick.

Here; eat some strawberries

While I decide where to put these candies.

Raspberry sparkles, cherry sweetheart creams,

And orange dream boats.

They all sound so scrumptious.

I'll have to try each one of them.

First the raspberry sparkles.

Mmm, mouth-sparklingly delicious.

Next, I'll try the cherry sweetheart creams.

Mmm, they melt in your mouth.

And the orange dream boats...

Are too heavenly to describe!

I think I should put the most delicious one

Out front.

But which one is the most delicious?

I'll have to try each of them again.

Mmm!

Definitely the choco-strawberry bubbles.

Whew.

I'm feeling a little funny.

One more box, and that's it, ruby.

[Sighs]

All right, candi.

I had no idea owning a candy store

Was so much work.

It's true,

But I wouldn't switch jobs for all the bees' honey.

Triple fudge marshmallow clouds!

They sound luscious.

Mmm, mmm, mmm!

They're three times as luscious as regular marshmallow clouds.

Oh, my!

Now, that's a honey of a display.

What a wonderful idea to use real fruit.

Real fruit?

Max!

(Candi) as a thank you,

I'd like you to choose whatever treat you want.

Thanks, but i--

I don't feel very well.

I think I had too much--

Too much--

Too much what, ruby?

Candy.
