I [ laughing]

Who's tickling me?

[ laughing slows]

Hey, who was tickling me?

Were you tickling me?

No?

Hmm...

I wonder who could it be.

[ laughing]

Hey, Bob!

[ laughing]

I came to return your honey.

[ laughing hysterically]

No... no problem, Bob!

Well, you don't have to laugh at me about it.

I'm sorry, but I keep running out.

Don't... don't... don't worry.

I don't really see what's so funny, Snook.

Huh?

Well, you'd be surprised at how many ants come around

when I've got honey.

Can't stop!

Really?

Well, uh... that looks like fun!

Can I do it, too?

Uh, ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha!

Ha-ha-ha... [ laughing]

[ sighs]

Phew!

Finally!

So, we're done dancing.

That was fun.

Yeah, actually, that wasfun, Bob,

but I wonder what was tickling me?

Maybe you were tickling yourself?

Uh, no, Bob.

I don't think anyone can actually tickle themselves.

Have you ever tried to tickle yourself?

Nope. I don't think that's possible.

Then what could it be?

Whoa, hang on.

[ chuckles]

I feel anotherickle.

Oh, no!

[ laughing]

Whoa!

[ bee buzzing]

Uh... hi.

[ buzzes]

Wait. Don't go!

[ grunts]

Huh?

[ bee buzzes]

[ gasps] [ snickers]

I've got it!

What is it?

BOB: It looks like, um...

a zebra...

except small...

and round...

and...

[ chuckles]

SNOOK: That's no zebra, Bob.

It's a bee!

She was in Snook's fur!

BOTH: Ew! Weird.

SNOOK: No, it's okay.

Actually I'm used to it.

Us sloths have so much fur,

that often insects like to nestle in and live there.

dAs a sloth, I don't mind at all

Hmm! But this bee is really ticklish.

[ buzzing]

Oh, really?

That's okay.

[ buzzing]

Huh?

No, I didn't mind at all.

How do you kno what it's saying?

Oh, I understand and speak bee.

[ buzzing]

[ buzzing]

BOB: Ooh!

Well, would you, um...

introduce me, please?

I always like to meet a new, uh, insect.

Bob, bee; bee, Bob.

Nice to meet you.

And of course Smooch and Winslow.

BOTH: Charmed, I'm sure.

BOB: What's your name,

little bee?

[ bee buzzes]

Oh! Bee.

That's a nice name for a... bee.

Uh, excuse me, bee, but what do you think of "Stripey"?

[ bee buzzes]

Cool, then "Stripey" it is.

Bye!

[ buzzing]

Burdette, please, please.

This is my friend Stripey.

Don't eat her!

[ Stripey buzzes]

Oh, hi, Stripey.

Now, why would I eat a lovely little bee like Stripey.

Don't you remember?

I prefer nuts and seeds.

But, Bob, I didn't think anteaters liked bees.

Oh, really?

Well, I do.

Stripey's my new best friend.

[ buzzes]

dAnd she's going to live here, uh, in the World Tree.

Right, uh, Stripey?

BURDETTE: Oh.

Dear.

Bob, how long is your friend staying exactly?

Um, as long as she wants.

Bob, I don't want to upset you,

but Stripey might not be staying

as long as you think.

I...

No. No, she's staying.

We dided...

Bob, what I' m trying to tell you is

that bees don't always stay in one place.

They fly all over.

Burdette!

Come on, Stripey, let's go!

Oh, gee, I hope Bob learns about bees

and how they fly from place to place.

Oh.

Hey, Bob.

The word is that Stripey has a new pad.

Yes.

I gave her a warm little spot

in my cozy little home.

She just went out to get some exercise.

[ laughing]

What's so funny about that?

[ laughing]

Nothing!

Is that you, Stripey?

[ laughs hysterically]

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Phew!

Wow!

More bees?

[ bees buzzing]

What are they saying?

Uh, what are they saying?

Hey, so you guys know Stripey!

Ah, that's great!

They do?

[ bees buzzing]

Oh, yeah, she got here a while ago.

They've been looking for her.

Oh?

dYeah, it turns out...

Huh?

[ bees buzz]

Oh, I see.

What's that?

Oh.

Bob, they say it's time for her migration.

Mi-mi... what?

Migration.

Migration.

Yeah, that's what bees do every season.

They move to a warmer climate

when it turns cold.

Really?

Migration.

[ Bees buzz "migration"]

Yeah, they say they always have to move

where the flowers are blooming.

[ bees buzz]

Oh?

Oh, okay, you want to know where Stripey is.

Well, Bob, where did you last see her?

Who?

Uh, Stripey?

Gosh, I wouldn't really know.

Nope, I don't know.

[ bees buzz]

Oh, my!

Bob?

Wasn't Stripey coming back?

But I don't want to lose Stripey to migration.

Oh, Bob, but they're her friends,

and every creature has...

Oh, Stripey!

Oh, Bob!

Bob?

Hmm.

[ sighs]

What a beautiful day today, right, Stripey?

This is just the best place to be, right?

[ buzzes boredly]

Uh, Stripey, what's wrong?

[ buzzes boredly]

You don't sound okay.

Don't feel b, Stripey.

I'm your friend.

I...

[ bees buzzing happily]

[ bees buzzing angrily]

Oh, my! Oh, my!

I'm sorry.

Uh... I hope you don't think I was trying to hide Stripey.

Uh, I don't want you to go!

We were having so much fun.

I didn't know about migration.

[ bees buzz "migration"]

Hey, Bob.

Stripey's leaving!

Bob, maybe it's not as bad as you think.

But my best friend is... [ sniffles] leaving.

Well, why don't we visit Madge.

I'm sure she can help us out.

Sometimes creatures live their whole lives in one place,

but other creatures move around

to different places.

Stripey's gone... forever?

Not exactly.

There's more to migration than just going away.

Really?

Dears, migration is a pattern.

Many bees return to the same spot over and over again.

You mean, uh... Stripey could come back?

Yeah, they're coming back.

Indeed.

[ buzzes]

Stripey! Did you hear the good news?

You're coming back!

Um... uh, if you want, of course.

[ buzzes]

I know you can't stay.

I'm going to miss you a lot.

[ buzzing]

Oh, well, it looks like

it's time for the bees to go.

Thank you for visiting us.

Yeah. See you later.

[ buzzes "see you later"]

[ laughs]

[ sighs]

Bye, Stripey!

See you next year!

SNOOK: Okay, let's see.

I've got my book, my magnifying glass and my...

Oh, hey!

You're just in time for a great discovery!

I'm going looking for an orchid.

Have you ever seen an orchid?

It's a very pretty kind of flower.

Isn't it beautiful?

So let's get ready to...

[ loud crash]

Huh? What was that?

WINSLOW: That hurt!

SMOOCH: Come on, Winslow, stop!

WINSLOW: You never try anything new.

Do you think that sounds like Smooch and Winslow?

SMOOCH: It's not new-- it's impossible.

WINSLOW: Hey, Snook!

Watch this!

Ow!

I've got to work on that takeoff.

Uh, Winslow...

and what are you doing?

No big deal.

I'm learning to fly.

I was just telling Winslow

that hecan't...

She's just jealous that I'm flying and she's not.

I have no clue what you're talking about.

Okay, okay.

Could you just slow it down for a minute here?

Remember, I'm a sloth.

I am adding flying to all the other cool things I can do.

I see.

Well, Winslow, I understand-- flying sounds great.

But we all have different ways we get around, and flying...

That's right-- I'll fly, and Smooch won't!

As if...

Well, actually, Winslow,

it's all about the different ways our bodies are built.

It's called-- are you ready for this?--

physiology.

Phisi- what-am-y? Phisi-what- am-y?

Physiology.

It's how our bodies are made.

Phys-i-ol-ogy.

Take me, for instance.

I'm built to be very good at hanging upside down.

And you two are great at climbing

and swinging from vines.

Everybody's got their own way.

♪ A monkey travels faster than a sloth could ever dream ♪

♪ And Ick would b*at me in the ocean ♪

♪ But sliding in slow motion just works the best for me ♪

♪ We all have different ways!

♪ In the air or on the ground

♪ This is how we get around

♪ A frog can hop from log to log ♪

♪ While an anteater like Bob can scurry in between ♪

♪ Right side up or upside down, this is how we get around. ♪

[ laughing]

[ cheering]

And I just can't wait until I fly!

But the whole point...

Winslow...

Snook, I just need your help!

Uh, but last time I checked, sloths can't fly either.

Although I did have a great-uncle once

who fell a lot, but I think

he just couldn't get the hang of sleeping upside down.

Yeah, goofy, we're not birds.

We can't just...

Hey, birds can fly!

Yeah, that's true.

Great!

See you.

Huh?Hu

Where'd he go?

Come on, Snook!

We've got to go watch out for my crazy brother.

Smart, thoughtful, beautiful, witty...

What else am I?

Hmm...

WINSLOW: Hi, Burdette.

What are you doing?

Oh, hi, Winslow.

Just making my morning list of my best qualities.

Would you like to add something?

Well, uh...

I, uh...

I need your... help.

Ah, you know I am always so helpful.

It's true.

Helping is all I do, really.

Help, help, help, all day long.

Burdette!

[ clears his throat]

I need to learn how to fly.

Fly?

You?!

That's a good one.

You almost got me there.

[ chuckles]

Oh, you're serious.

But you're a monkey.

Well, not even all birdscan fly.

Really?

Yes, indeedy!

Penguins, ostriches, rheas, cassowaries,

emus and kiwis-- not a one of them can fly.

Well, if you can fly, why can't I?

Well, really, there are so many things I do that are special.

It's all my hard work and dedication.

Some of my best attributes, don't you think?

Ican work hard.

I'mdedicated.

Well, I can learn to fly with or without you.

Ha! I'd like to see you do it.

Okay, if that's how you want it.

You... me... the butterfly branch-- this afternoon.

Flying contest.

I'll show you.

Oh, my.

ll, Winslow, I didn't mean...

See you there!

Okay, see you there.

Ta ta-ta!

[ to herself]: Hmm! Monkeys.

Where could he be?

Winslow?

I don't know, maybe...

There!

Winslow?

No, but it's an orchid--

a very rare, beautiful orchid.

[ yelling]

Ow!

Winslow!

Winslow, are you okay?

Not bad.

Oh... just need a little work on that landing.

We've been looking all over for you.

We're orchid hunting.

Want to join us?

No, no, no time, no time, Snook.

Got to fly.

I mean, got to go.

Winslow?

Hey, guys, meet me at the butterfly branch this afternoon.

It will be great.

Uh-oh.

[ humming to himself]

[ Winslow grunting]

WARTZ: Help! Help!

Get me out of here!

Where's Wartz?

I thought I saw Wartz.

[ muffled yelling]

Huh?

Wartz!

What are you doing down there?

I... you... I was... you...

Oh, never mind.

[ clears his throat]

Like my wings?

Uh, well, yes, very nice, but, uh...

Why?

Why wings?

Because I'm learning to fly.

Still training, though,

so I thought I'd stick to the ground for now.

Can't fall too far when you're on the ground.

Wow, I wish I could fly.

Well, play your cards right, froggie,

and maybe I'll teach you.

Me and Burdette are having a flying contest.

Wow.

A contest?

With a bird that actually flies?

You're brave.

Yeah.

I can't wait to be the first flying marmoset.

I'll break down barriers for marmosets everywhere!

Okay.

That's great!

So, let me see you fly.

All right... [ clears his throat]

[ panting]

Well, actually, I think I better, you know,

save my energy for the contest.

Oh! It's almost time-- let's go.

Hi, guys.

Hey, Burdette.

Have you seen my brother?

He told us to meet him here.

Of course.

He challenged me to a flying contest.

BOTH: Flying contest?

Ta-dah!

You ready?

Winslow, really-- monkeys can't...

Let's start with a flutter.

A simple little flutter.

Well, being as you're a beginner and all.

No problem.

Flutter away.

After you.

Um...

Whoo!

Sorry, I got a bit carried away.

Okay, your turn.

Uh, fine.

A flutter.

[ panting furiously]

[ huffing and puffing]

Okay.

There!

SMOOCH: Winslow,

really!

BURDETTE: Well,

hardly...

but let's move on to the tougher stuff.

Let's go up...

down...

and around.

Now you try.

No problemo!

Hey, guys, what's up?

[ both grunting]

Oh... [ panting]

Okay, I admit it.

I can't do it!

I can't fly-- I can't.

All I've gotten is a bunch of bruises.

-[ Wartz yelling] -What's that noise?

It's Wartz.

What was he doing down there?

Winslow, of course you can't fly.

Hmm, where have I heard that before?

Oh, right-- I told you!

You know, birds can fly because their bones are hollow,

which makes them lighter,

but monkeys need strong, solid bones for climbing.

And we're way better than birds at climbing trees.

I'll never fly like a bird?

Wow, I'm really sorry, Winslow.

You worked really hard.

Maybe you can't fly like Burdette,

but you can fly like a monkey.

Huh?

SMOOCH and WINSLOW: Whee!

[ giggling]

SMOOCH: Yeah!

Now, that's what I call flying!

Hey, Burdette!

Come fly with us!

[humming tune]

Oh, hey.

There are so many cool animals in the big, big world

and so many great facts to know about them.

One way to find out more is to read.

Go to your local library

and get a book about your favorite animal.

Smooch and Winslow are very amazing animals.

They're marmosets.

A marmoset is a kind of monkey.

Hey, did you know that marmosets like to live

with other members of their family,

like their brothers and sisters?

[ chuckling]

No wonder Smooch and Winslow have so much fun

sharing a house... uh, except when Winslow leaves his stuff

on the floor, of course.

[ chuckling]

One of the coolest animals I know is my friend

Bob the anteater.

Anteaters are great.

Do you know they sleep as much as hours every day?

I mean, I love to nap myself, but that's a lotof sleep.

Oh, and they have a great sense of smell.

Hmm... I wonder what slls Bob likes best.

Next time you see him, ask him for me, okay?
