[ gasping]

[ sneezes]

[ groans]

Huh? What was that?

Whoa, hey there.

I didn't see you.

[ yawns]

Whoa, my nose is so itchy, it woke me up.

I wonder why it tIckles.

Did you see something tIckle my nose?

Hm?

Well, will you look at that-- a green feather.

And quite a beautiful one, too.

Hmm.

This feather looks familiar.

I wonder whose it Is.

Do you know?

[ yawns]

Hmm, what's going on?

More feathers.

And they're all green.

Hm, Burdette's feathers are green.

Maybe we should go check with her.

Come on.

Whoa, more feathers!

Where's Burdette?

-Hey, Burdette? -What?

Oh, my!

Snook? Snook?

Oh, my, it's you!

Yep, me-- Snook.

You know, big old sloth, sleeps a lot.

I came for a visit. Um, er...

N-no... No one's home.

Uh, but...

Aren't you... You're right there, and...

Oh, all right!

I'm here, but I just can't talk.

Uh, Burdette, nice, um, leaves.

Leaves?

Oh, yes. Yes.

Thank you.

nice to see you, too, Snook.

Oh. Well, Burdette,

I was just hanging out in my tree house this morning,

and I found these.

Do you have any idea where they came from?

Well, I...

No. No idea. No.

But they are beautiful green feathers,

and, you know, they look like...

Mine?

Well, they can't be, can they?

I mean, if they were my beautiful green feathers,

I would be wearing them

instead of these... Leaves.

Right? Now, wouldn't i?

Oh. Uh, yes.

I-i guess... That's true.

Okay. Hmm.

Well, I guess someone just didn't want them

and threw them away.

Uh, Burdette?

[ crying]: oh... It's no use!

It's true!

Oh, Snook, I'm losing my beautiful, beautiful feathers!

What will become of me?

Whoa, I'm sure there's an explanation for this.

Well, at first, it was just one or two, but...

They just kept falling out.

It's just too awful!

So I made this coat of leaves.

Well,

it's a very interesting, um...

Look for you, Burdette.

But maybe we should go see Madge.

She may have an idea about what all this is about.

But I-I... Couldn't...

I couldn't possibly go out looking like this.

What if someone saw me?

Well, we're just going to Madge's.

I'm sure no one will notice.

Come on, let's go.

Mm, mm, be nice.

Ooh, got one!

Mmm, salty.

Your turn.

Hmm, let me see.

[ gasps]: oh! There's a nice one.

Hey, little guy.

See ya!

[ crunching]

hey, Burdette, Snook.

Hey, guys.

Glad to see you're helping each other out.

Monkeys do that a lot, you know.

They help keep each other clean and healthy.

Hey, Burdette, what's with the leaves?

[ laughs]

Burdette: oh, the leaves?

Nothing, really.

Just a new fashion idea I had.

Coat of leaves-- it's a new thing.

Really? Well, maybe I should get one.

Hey, Burdette, are these yours?

Aah! Where did you get those?

We found them on the ground.

If you don't want them...

Of course I want them.

But... They don't seem to want me.

It's okay, Burdette.

Burdette's lost a few feathers today,

and we're trying to figure out why.

Well, maybe it's because it's so hot out today

and you don't need such a thIck, warm coat of feathers.

Burdette: oh...

That must be it!

Is it?

Well, I-I guess it could be. Although...

It gets pretty chilly up there at the top of the tree.

Doesn't it? Oh...

Yes, it does.

Oh, my, what am I gonna do?

Well, we'd like to help, but we've got

some more nit-pIcking to do!

Yeah, I feel one over here.

Take a look, Smooch.

Snook: see you, guys.

Oh, I knewi shouldn't have left my nest today.

Now I'm sure Smooch and Winslow

will tell everyone about my feathers.

Really? Oh, I don't think so.

I mean, they were busy, and...

Hey, Burdette, I hear you're losing feathers.

Oh, no!

Yes, it's true.

I told you, Snook.

But, Burdette, aren't you excited?

Excited?

Why on earth would I be excited?

Maybe you're changing into a whole new animal.

Like I did when I changed from a tadpole into a frog.

Right, Snook, right?

Well, Warts, you didn't really change into a new animal.

You just grew into a frog.

But... If you featherless,

maybe you're gonna be a... A...

A fish!

A fish?!

I can't turn into a fish!

Why, that would be terrible!

Oh. Just a thought.

See ya.

Hey, did I hear someone say "fish"?

Well, Ick the fish at your service!

Hey, Ick.

Hey, Snook. Burdette,

nice leaves.

If you're thinking of becoming a fish,

you better talk to me first.

I'm not sure there's room

in this water hole for more than one.

I'm going home before I lose any more feathers.

Ick: okay, go ahead.

But I think I've seen something like this

losing-feathers thing before.

Oh, really?

Well, plants lose their leaves, you know.

True, that's true.

Oh, my!

But then I'd be...

Featherless!

Oh, I don't know if I could look at myself.

But then they grow back again.

I guess that's true, but...

I'm not a plant.

I'm a bird.

Yep. Uh... Oh, yeah.

That's right.

Uh, uh, I didn't say I knew allthe answers.

Oh, feathers,

[ crying]: why are you leaving me... Now?

Oh, okay, okay, Burdette.

We're almost at Madge's house.

Let's see what she has to say.

[ humming tune]

oh, so, dear,

I heard you've lost a few feathers.

Does everybody know?

Well, everyone goes through changes.

That's what growing up is all about.

But, Madge, why would Burdette lose her feathers?

Oh, my, good question, Snook.

Why dobirds lose their feathers?

Well, when their old feathers wear out,

new feathers grow in.

It's called molting.

"Molting"?

My feathers are molting?

[ chuckles ]

what a funny word, molting.

Yes, molting.

Now, let's see.

I have a chart here somewhere.

Have you seen it?

Oh, is that it over there?

Oh, yes.

[ laughs]

ha, yeah.

Now, it may surprise you, but lots of animals molt.

Lobsters, insects, snakes

and, of course, birds.

Lobsters and snakes molt?

Well, I never knew

I had anything in common with those animals.

Lobsters? Really!

Just goes to show you

we all have more in common than you would think.

So, as new feathers grow,

do they just push the old feathers out?

Exactly. You've got it.

Now, why don't we take that coat of leaves off

and take a look at you.

What do you see?

[ gasps] [ gasps]

[ gasps]

feathers!

Bright, beautiful, new feathers!

Hm-hmm.

You see? [ laughs]

your body was just making room for some new feathers.

Wow. They're so much better than the old ones.

And brighter and cozier, too!

Congratulations, my dear.

[ cackles]

you look lovely.

And how.

Well, thank you, Madge

and Snook.

Snook, you were so nice to take care of me

while I was molting.

Hmm, I love that word.

No, problem, Burdette.

Anytime.

Well, I gotta run.

Places to fly, feathers to fluff.

You know, growing up is not so scary after all, Madge.

In fact, kind of nice to have new feathers.

Ta-ta-ta!

Bye, Madge.

Bye-bye.

And see? It happens to all birds.

Burdette: we simply outgrow our old feathers

so the new even more beautiful feathers

can grow in.

Uh-huh, Burdette.

It's called "molting."

Ooh, did I say that?

[ sighs]

only times.

I counted .

Okay, .

I mean, my old ones are great, but look at these.

We're just glad you're back to your old self, Burdette.

Yep, she's back to her old self all right.

No kidding.

Well, thanks, guys.

You know, it's good to have friends around

when things are changing.

Others: uh-huh.

It's nice to know that your friends are always here...

[ laughing]

[ song ends]

[ snoring]

Snook! [ groans]

Snook, are you sleeping?

I certainly didn't mean to wake you.

[ clears throat]

well, actually,

I-I was sleeping, but don't worry, Burdette.

I'll just close my eyes again, and...

Snook, wake up!

You can't sleep now!

I can't?

I mean,

you don't have to come, but don't blame me.

Don't blame me

if you're missing the most amazing thing in the world.

Whoa. Hold on there.

If it's the most amazing thing in the world,

I definitely want to see it, don't you?

Well,

I'm inviting you, Snook, because I know

if you see this amazing thing, you'll thank me.

Well, what is it, Burdette?

Come on!

Sounds good, huh?

Are you going to give me a clue

about this amazing thing we're going to see?

Well, I was taking one of my longer flights

just to look around at the big big world,

stretch my wings a bit, you know,

and I found this thing on top of a mountain!

Whoa!

You were really doing some flying then.

That sounds pretty far away.

Well, yes, us birds do love to travel,

and you see, I was very hot from flying,

but then I touched this amazing thing,

and I felt cool. Instantly.

Really?

What could that be?

What is cold when you touch it?

I can't wait to see it.

Where is it?

And when I pIcked up a piece,

I saw the most beautiful bird inside.

A bird

inside?

What bird could that be?

Oh, Snook, silly.

It was me.

Reflecting in this shiny thing, like a mirror.

Whoa, I should have guessed.

Well, you are a beautiful bird.

Well, now, where is this amazing shiny thing?

Please be patient, Snook.

I promise you it'll be worth it.

I put it in my nest.

Now I can be cool

all the time, and take a look at myself whenever I want to.

Okay, okay, let's see it.

What is it?

[ birds screeching in the distance]

whereis it?

It's gone!

My chunk of ice is gone.

Oh, a chunk of ice.

Whoa, that is cool.

Very cool.

Cold, in fact.

[ chuckles]: if you know what I mean.

And look.

Now my nest is wet.

Who would do that?

Do what?

Take my ice and make my nest all wet.

Uh, well, it's ice, Burdette.

Maybe it's mel...

I'm going to find out who did this.

Uh...

Hmm.

Maybe we'd better follow Burdette.

Anties!

Come back.

I've got an umbrella.

Hi, Bob.

What's with the umbrella?

Shading yourself from the sun?

Oh. Um, I was trying to keep the water away

from the poor ants.

Uh, you'd think it would be dry

on a hot day like this, but, oh, no.

Do you think it's just me, that, um,

everywhere I go there's rain?

Rain? Just on you?

Yes.

I was going to have a picnic, right here in the shade

under Burdette's nest,

but it rained, and the ants ran away!

If I get them back, you're welcome to join us.

Thanks, Bob, but we're a bit busy right now.

I'm looking for my ice.

Have you seen it?

Ice?

Mm, I don't think so.

Um, what is ice?

Well, ice is very cool.

Cold, in fact.

It's frozen water.

Just like the water you drink.

And it's shiny and beautiful.

You really didn't see any ice fall from my nest?

No ice, just rain.

Hmm.

Maybe that rain was really the...

Well, no ice here. Come on, Snook.

Someone in the world tree must know where my ice has gone.

Well, thanks, Bob.

I don't think it's going to rain anymore,

but that's just a hunch.

Really? Great!

Oh, anties! No more rain!

Now, where did they go?

I can't believe no one knows what happened to my ice!

Do you think someone stole it?

Well, no, actually.

I don't think anyone would do that.

But I do think it's possible that it melt...

That's it, Snook!

It Is? Where?

What? What's it?

We'll set a trap.

I'll get some more ice, and we'll watch it this time

to see what happens.

Hey,

that's a good idea, Burdette, and very scientific.

Really? I'm scientific?

I mean, I always knew I was.

Yeah, it's a great thing to do--

to set things up just as they were,

and observe a second time.

You repeat your steps and see if the same thing happens again.

It's what scientists do when they do experiments.

Experiments!

Ooh, I like that.

Well, okay, then.

I'm off to get some ice.

I'll be right back.

Perfect, and I'll stay right here and take a nap.

Well, I have to pass the time somehow, right?

[Snoring]

sloths!

Oh, Snook, Snook, wake up.

Oh, mommy, not now.

I'm hanging upside down.

Snook!

Oh, hey, Burdette.

Whoa, look at that.

Now, Snook, we have to set our trap for

[ whispers]: the ice thief.

Burdette, I don't think anyone in the tree

actually stole your ice.

I think it just...

Don't worry, Snook. We'll find out now.

Well, that big chunk of ice is in my nest.

I hope nobody takes it.

Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yes.

Let's just leave it right here

and go away.

[ whispering]: I can't wait

to see who falls into our trap.

Yeah. [ yawns]

falls into our nap.

Snook, now is not the time to nap.

Bob: oh, no, it's raining again and just on me and my quIcke.

Anties, come back. Come back!

That's Bob.

We'd better see what's going on.

Bob: Burdette, it happened again. Come quIck.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Now they'll never come back.

Bob, what happened?

The, um, ants had just all come back.

We were about to start our picnic...

When what?

When there was another rainstorm.

My umbrella was over there.

I couldn't reach it in time.

And it rained just on me.

Snook, I think there's something very mysterious going on here.

I'll say. How can it rain when the sun is shining?

Well, guys, I think maybe it's just that...

Snook, Bob is right.

We were right above Bob, and it didn't rain on us.

Really?

Really. We were watching my ice and...

Oh, my! My ice!

Remember how big that chunk of ice was?

Come and take a look at this.

What's that?

That was my big chunk of ice.

Well, now it's a small chunk of ice.

I can't believe this.

Unbelievable.

And I can't believe that it has been raining on me.

Just me.

Well, Burdette, I think we ought to go visit Madge.

I think she can help clear this up.

And I have a few ideas of my own.

Do you know what happened to the ice?

Here it is, Madge.

But it seems to be getting smaller all the time.

This is positively exciting.

We don't see much ice here in the rain forest.

It was much bigger before.

Well, my dear, that's because it is melting.

Melting?

You mean, nobody stole my ice. It just melted?

Yeah, Burdette.

That's what I was trying to tell you.

I started to say...

But what makes the ice melt?

I'll show you.

See, water can be in many forms:

liquid, which is the water we drink,

solid, which is your lovely piece of ice,

and steam when it gets so hot it turns into a gas.

So my ice turned into water?

Yep, it melted and dripped down on Bob

and his picnic with the ants.

So, no one stole it after all.

That's right.

As the ice became warmer from the heat of the sun,

it melted and turned into water.

You mean the water in my nest.

And the rain under your nest.

That water was your melted ice.

Oh, poor Bob.

It was my ice that ruined his picnic.

Well, I have an idea.

Maybe Bob would feel better if we brought him

some nice cool juice for his picnic.

The ants might like it, too.

And we can tell him

it's not going to rain on him again today.

Great idea, Snook.

Oh, we could use the ice to cool it.

We better hurry.

Bye, Madge. Thanks.

All right, dears.

Enjoy your picnic.

And stay cool. Okay.

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.

Madge is one of the oldest and most interesting animals

here in the world tree.

Do you know that turtles have been around for millions

and millions of years?

It's true.

The first turtles were around even before the dinosaurs.

Now, Madge isn't quite that old,

but she has been around a long time,

and that's one reason she knows so much

about so many things.

Not to toot my own horn or anything.

But I think we sloths are pretty interesting animals.

Did you know that I'm an herbivore?

All sloths are.

It means that we only eat plants, sh**t, leaves

and sometimes fruit.

That's a good diet for slow-moving creatures like me.

Leaves are pretty easy to catch.

[ chuckles]
