[Thunder booms]

- [Sighs]

Bounce.

- It looks like you won't be able to play

With your ball outside today, max.

- Bounce.

- Basketballs are for outside.

You need a nice quiet indoor activity on a rainy day.

- [Sighs]

- I've already decided what my rainy day activity is.

I'm going to build a tower that's as tall as I am!

Right here, in the middle of the living room.

[Giggles]

You'll never guess what I'm going to build it with.

Spaghetti...

- Huh?

- And... Marshmallows!

- Mmm.

- Isn't that amazing?

Bunny scout leader showed us how to do it.

This is what my tower's going to look like when it's all done.

See, these are the pieces of spaghetti...

And you stick them into the sticky marshmallows

To join them together.

Like this!

Oh, I didn't think you would want to help me

Build my tower.

On second thought,

Maybe building a tower of spaghetti and marshmallows

Is too difficult for little bunny brothers.

I think you need to find your own rainy day activity.

I know...

What about playing knights and horses

With your knight's castle?

I'm sure the knights and horses are in there somewhere.

[Hums]

Good! Now I can get started.

[Toy clatters]

[Upbeat music]



[Ball whooshes]

- Bounce!

- There, that's a good start.

- [Laughs]

- I see you found my old paddleball.

- Bounce.

- That's a great rainy day activity.

But I think you might need a paddleball lesson.

You're supposed to hit the ball with the paddle

As many times as you can without missing.

Like this.

[Giggles] oops!

- Bounce.

- It takes a lot of practice,

But if you keep at it,

I bet you'll be able to hit it or times in a row.

[Paddleball bopping]

Whoa!

Oh, why don't you practice over there

So you're not too close to my tower, okay?

- [Sighs]

- Thanks, max.

[Paddleball bopping]

- [Giggles] bounce.

[Paddleball bopping]

[Soft music plays]

[Laughs]

- There.

One more level is done.

[Gasps]

Whoa!

Phew.

Oh, these long pieces of spaghetti sure are wobbly.

[Paddleball bopping]

Ah!

Oh, no!

My spaghetti.

- Bounce.

- Yes, you're getting better at bouncing the ball.

But you need to bounce it far away from my tower.

It's very wobbly.

[Paddleball bopping]

[Sighs]

Oh, all my spaghetti is broken in half.

But if I make the rest of the levels shorter,

I might still be able to finish my tower.

And shorter levels might not be so wobbly.

Bop, bop!

- [Laughs]

Bounce!

- There.

Another level is done.

- Hmm.

Bop, bop, clink!

- Red alert, red alert, danger, danger!

- Bounce.

- Nearly there.

I just need another level or two.

Uh-oh.

I hope I have enough spaghetti.

[Paddleball bopping]

- Bounce.

- [Humming]

[Western music]



[Ball whooshing]

Ew, these marshmallows are getting really sticky!

Hmm.

[Laughs]

Oh, they're really sticky!

Whew.

Hmm, one more level, and my tower will be as tall as me.

Oh, no.

[Sighs]

That's the end of the spaghetti.

Well, I guess a tower that's almost as tall as me

Is almost as good as a tower that's just as tall as me.

- Bounce.

[Western music]



- Max, be careful where you aim that ball.

- Bounce.

[Paddleball bopping]

[Flag whooshes]

- My tower!

[Gasps]

Max, the tower!

It's taller than I am!

[Laughs]

I never would have done it

If you weren't so good at making that paddleball--

- Bounce.

- A little more that way, louise.

Perfect.

- Whew-hoo!

A hot day like today is perfect for our juice bar, ruby.

- I know.

And now we only need one thing.

Both: juice! [Giggling]

- Let's go.

[Both laugh]

[Banging and drumming]

Max?

- Music!

- I don't know if I'd call that music, max.

But we can't listen to it right now, anyway.

- We're setting up a juice bar to raise money for bunny scouts.

- We'll get lots of customers on a hot, hot day like today.

Both: whew.

- Come on.

Let's get juicing!

[Drumming]

We've got four different flavors of juice:

Orange, grape, lemonade, and cherry.

- Yum.

- All we have to do is add water and stir them up.

I'll get some spoons for stirring.

- And I'll get the pitchers.

[Door clicks open]

- Music.

[Drumming]

- Sorry, max.

I need that can to make juice.

You can have the cans for your music as soon as we empty them.

Orange...

- Grape...

- Lemonade and...

- Cherry!

[Both laughing]

- Time to add water.

[Water rushing]

I've got trays we can use to take everything outside.

- Okay, ruby!

[Drumming]

[Both sighing] little brothers.

[Drumming]

- Max, do you think you could make your music outside?

Thanks, max.

- Music.

- I'll stir the orange and the grape juice.

- Okay, and I'll stir the lemonade and cherry.

[Drumming]

I thought you got spoons out for stirring.

- I did.

[Together] max.

- Max, I need those spoons for stirring our juice.

On second thought, why don't you keep them?

I'll find something else to stir with.

Have fun!

[Drumming]

- Mm... Music?

[Ladle clinks]

- Great idea to use a soup ladle for stirring, ruby.

- We have to get our juice bar up and running

While the sun is hot and bunnies are thirsty.

Oops! We nearly forgot.

- What?

- We can't serve ice-cold juice without...

[Together] ice!

[Laughter]

- We should keep the ice in the bucket

Until the very last minute to keep it frozen.

- Good idea, ruby.

Let's get everything on the trays first.

- [Gasps]

Music!

[Grunting]

Music.

[Ice cubes clinking]

[Gasps]

[Ice cubes rattling]

- Okay, time to put the ice in.

Where is it?

[Rattling]

[Together] max.

- Music.

Music.

- That's nice, but we need that ice for our juice bar.

- There's still some left here in the bucket.

- Phew.

Let's go get set up.

[Ice cubes rattling]

Okay, I think that's everything.

Ice-cold juice, glasses...

- Container for money...

- Sign...

- And a nice hot day.

[Together] whew.

- There's just one thing we need...

[Together] customers.

- How are we going to sell juice if nobunny knows we're here?

- Music!

[Drumming and rattling]

- Max, you can't make music right now.

We have to figure out how to let our customers know we're here.

- Uh, ruby, maybe max should keep playing.

Look!

[Together] customers!

- Look at this juice bar.

Oh, it's just what I need on a hot summer day.

- What flavor would you like, grandma?

- Cherry, please.

- [Slurps] uh-huh.

Refreshing and delicious.

- Well done!

You're going to raise lots of money for the bunny scouts

With this busy juice bar.

- But we would never have been busy

If it weren't for max and his--

- Music!

[Drumming and rattling]

[Singsongy] doo, doo-doo-doo-doo...doo, doo!

Tree fort!

Yeah!

- Uh-huh.

It's getting there, max.

Once we finish up this end of the platform,

We just have to build the walls.

Come on!

- [Laughs]

- Let's get some more wood.

- Okay, louise, let's find out what we have to spot.

- Tree fort!

- Wow!

It's looking great, max.

While you and roger finish building,

Louise and I are going to earn

Our bunny scout wildlife spotting badges.

- Isn't that exciting?

- Tree fort.

[Both giggling]

- What animals do we need for our badges, ruby?

- Hmm.

It looks like we have to spot

Three different types of wildlife:

A bird, a mammal, and an amphibian.

- Right, a bird, a mammal, and an...

"Amfiminim."

- Am-phib-ian.

Look.

Mammals are animals that usually have fur,

Like squirrels, raccoons, and mice.

And you can spot amphibians because they never have fur,

Like frogs and toads.

- I know what they are,

I just have trouble saying it.

[Both giggling]

- [Gasps] ruby, look!

- [Gasps] our first mammal.

[Together] ooh.

- [Whispering] we have to be very, very quiet

Or we'll scare it away before we get a picture.

- [Whispering] wait, it moved!

Yes, yes.

- Oh, no!

- Tree fort!

- I can't see the squirrel.

- [Gasps]

There it is.

Max!

Both: aw.

- Put it right here by the other board, max.

Uh-huh.

Now, let's get the rest of the wood.

- Did you see where it went?

- [Gasps] what's that over there?

[Together] the squirrel!

- Oh, no.

Okay.

- Did you get the picture?

- Not yet.

- , ...

- I can't see the squirrel.

[Both gasp]

- There it is!

Perfect.

Be very, very quiet.

, --

Crash!

Oh, no!

Both: aw.

- Uh-huh.

[Both dusting off hands]

- Did you get the picture?

- No, and with all that noise

I don't think it'll be back for a while.

- Maybe we should look for something else.

- How about an "anfimina."

An "anfiminib"-- frog.

- [Laughs] they like water.

Come on, let's go to the creek.

- If you can hold it there, I can hammer it in place.

- Tree fort!

- Uh-huh.

- [Gasps] look, ruby, there!

- [Gasps] it's froggy!

- Ribbit!

- Hold still, froggy.

- Ribbit!

- [Gasps]

[Whispering] he keeps hiding from me.

Maybe if we move closer...

- But we have to be very, very quiet.

[Frog croaking]

- Okay.

, , !

[Hammer pounds]

[Both sigh]

[Hammer pounding]

- Are you nearly finished?

[Hammer continues pounding]

[Shouts] I said, "are you nearly finished"?

- What did you say, ruby?

[Hammer pounds]

It's hard to hear you over the...

[Hammer pounds]

Hammering.

- Your hammering is scaring away the animals!

Louise and I can't take their--

[Hammering stops]

[Quietly] pictures.

- Oh, sorry.

I'll use my screwdriver for the rest.

It's way quieter.

- Thanks, roger.

Both: bye!

[Pounding]

- I thought roger was going to stop hammering!

[Together] huh?

- He did stop.

[Pounding]

- [Gasps] look, ruby!

[Woodpecker pounding]

[Together] oh, a woodpecker.

- Tree fort.

- Uh-huh.

Just a couple more boards for the railing

And it'll be done.

- This is going to make a great picture.

Stay still, little woodpecker.

[Woodpecker pounding]

Please.

Oh, it's gone again.

[Gasps] ooh.

Right there.

- Tree fort!

- [Sighs]

Okay, max, we'll come and see your tree fort.

The woodpecker's gone anyway.

[Gasps] nice tree fort!

- Uh-huh.

- Now that it's finished,

Do you think you can be quiet for a while

So we can finally get our wildlife pictures?

- Uh, ruby--

- We haven't been able to get a single picture.

- Ruby, look!

- [Gasps] the woodpecker!

- And there's nothing in the way.

Click!

[Together] ooh.

- And there's your squirrel over there.

Click!

- Got it.

[Gasps]

Ruby, there's an "anfinimum"-- "anfini"--uh...

There's froggy!

[Frog croaks]

Click!

- We did it!

We've got all the pictures we need!

A bird...

A mammal...

- And an amphibian!

[Both gasp]

- You said it! - I said it!

Yay!

Now we're going to get our wildlife spotting badges!

- And we did it from the best wildlife spotting place

In all of east bunnyhop, max's--

- Tree fort!
