Another eucalyptus leaf?

But I've had so many.

Well... don't mind if I do...

Uh!

Winslow is totally out of control.

Uh... What? Where am I?

Who's what where?

Winslow. He's lost it.

Winslow? Lost what?

Can I help you guys find it?

No. Snook, listen.

I'm talking about Winslow.

He won't stop eating tree sap.

Tree sap.

Oh... I almost forgot.

It's the first day of sap season.

Winslow is being ridiculous.

He even canceled our plans to go vine swinging this morning.

"We can swing on vines anytime, but right now,

the saps a-flowin' so I'm a-goin'."

[ laughs]

Ah... Eating sap must sound

pretty weird to you, huh?

But you eat sap, too,

every time you put syrup on your pancakes,

because maple syrup comes from maple tree sap.

I mean, I like sap as much as the next monkey.

It sure is sweet and delicious.

But Winslow's gone completely sap-happy.

Hmm, that does sound like a problem.

Maybe I should have a talk with that brother of yours.

Great idea, but you'll have to find him first.

Where did he go?

Where do you think?

Looking for more tree sap, of course.

Hmm. I think I have an idea

who might be able to help us track him down.

Oh.

There's nothing like sap season.

Why can't it last all year long?

[ laughs]

All gone.

Now, where can I find some more?

Hi, Burdette.Hi, Burdette.

[ shrieks]

Oh, hi, Smooch. Snook.

Oh, sorry to interrupt your meal, Burdette.

We were just wondering if you'd seen Winslow?

He's running all over

eating all the sap he can find.

Oh, my. That crazy monkey.

He won't be feeling too well eating like that.

Exactly. That's why we need to find him.

Well, I must say, being a bird,

I like to eat small meals all through the day.

That way I never feel too full to take off and fly.

Wow, Burdette.

That sounds like a perfect way for a bird to eat.

Being a sloth, I like to eat just one or two big meals.

It's a nice, slow way of eating.

Huh. How nice for you, Snook,

but that would never work for a bird like me.

Why, I once had an uncle who ate so much

at one meal that he couldn't

fly at all.

[ sighs] This is all

really interesting, Burdette,

but we really need your help to find Winslow.

Could you fly around and see if you can spot him for us?

Well, I suppose I am the best one for the job.

Well, I spotted your missing marmoset.

Where is he?

He was heading towards Bob's,

eating out of a bowl the whole way.

Very poor manners, if you ask me.

Sounds like one sap-happy monkey to me.

Yeah. We better follow him.

Thanks, Burdette.

Enjoy your meal.

Hey, Bob.

Mmm. Hey, Schmuch... Schmoook.

Uh, hey, Bob.

Um, we're looking for Winslow.

[ mumbling]

Bob, have you been eating sap by any chance?

Mmm.

Ooh, that feels better.

Uh, Winslow came by and he really wanted me

to try some sap, but it made my shnout all shticky.

Oh, yeah, sap isn't a good snack for you.

You need to eat like an anteater.

I try to, but Winslow was so convincing.

You know Winslow.

Hey, what about me, Snook?

Should I eat like a sloth?

Or like an anteater?

Or like a bird?

Well, if you listen to your stomach, Smooch,

it'll tell you the right way to eat.

♪ I said there's nothing I like better ♪

♪ Than my food, food, food.

Mmm, mmm!

See, that's all there is to it,

but Winslow's ignoring his stomach

and eating just because the sap tastes sweet.

And that's not eating like a monkey should, right?

Yup. And I have a feeling Winslow's stomach

is going to have something to tell him about it.

My stomach doesn't really have an opinion

about sap, but my mouth sure doesn't like it at all.

Mmm... sticky.

So, Bob,

did you see which way Winslow went, by any chance?

Uh, yeah. Sorry, Snook.

I was so busy trying to swallow that sap

that I didn't pay attention.

[ gasps]

Look, Snook.

Drops of sap leading to the water hole.

Sounds like Ick is in for a visitor.

Well, tell him not to eat any of that sticky sap.

Will do, Bob. Bye.

Heya!

You two are looking for Winslow, I presume.

Hey, Ick. Is he here?

Your wacky brother thought I might want to try some sap.

A fish! Eating sap!

Ha! Who ever heard of such nonsense?!

Silly monkey.

We're trying to track him down

before he eats too much and gets too sick.

Uh, you might be too late,

my friend.

Uh-oh. What do you mean, Ick?

Well, between you and me,

when he headed out of here,

he was already looking a little green around the gills.

Uh, Ick, Winslow doesn't have any gills.

Well, I guess you're right.

But still, he wasn't looking too good.

You have to eat slowly to enjoy your food.

Mm-hmm. Also, it gives your stomach a chance

to warn you it's getting full.

That's a good point, Smooch.

I eat slowly, too... uh, but then again,

I guess I do everything slowly.

Well, all this talk about eating has made me hungry.

If you two will excuse me,

I think I'll go and have some lunch.

Good luck finding that crazy monkey.

Hmm. We should do the same thing, Smooch.

Hey, let's stop over at Madge's for a few berries.

A good, healthy lunch and we'll be full of energy

to go looking for Winslow again.

Yeah.

[ loud grumbling]

Yep, my stomach is telling me it's time to eat,

just like you said it would.

Oh...

[ groaning]: Oh... oh...

Oh, boy.

Ah, young marmoset.Wha...?

Oh, it's you.

Hey, Oko.

What are you doing wit...

[ groans]

Fast movements-- not such a good idea.

For you, young one. Mint.

No, no, thanks, Oko.

I think I've eaten too much already.

[ laughing]

Yes, that is true, my friend, that is true.

But what you do not know, my friend,

is mint soothes the aching stomach.

Hmm.

Mmm.

Mm-mm.

Now that's what I call a lunch.

I love eating berries.

Don't you?

[ groaning]

Winslow...

There you are.

We've been looking for you all morning.

[ groans]

Hey, guys.

Winslow,

why don't you sit down and take a rest?

That better not be more sap.

Ooh, don't even say that word.

I never want to hear it again.

Oko gave me this plant to eat.

It's called mint.

He said it would...

[ imitating Oko]: "soothe aching stomach."

And has it "soothed aching stomach?"

Well, you know, it's not quite as angry with me

as it was after I ate my fifth bowl of sap...

[ groans]

but I'm still hearing it loud and clear.

Fifth bowl of sap?

Or was it my sixth?

If you're feeling any better later, Winslow,

maybe we can go vine swinging.

Would you like that?

Yeah, let's go, let... go-oh...!

[ groans]

Bad idea.

[ chuckles]

Looks like you won't be going anywhere but to bed,

my sap-stuffed friend.

Looks like you're right, Snook.

Hello, my dears.

I don't know if you noticed, but sap season has begun.

And I know how much you monkeys like a little sap,

so I brought you a bowl.

[ groans]: Ohh...

Oh. [ chuckles]

[ giggles]

Was it something I said?

Thanks, Madge.

Maybe I'll have a little for dessert.

[ laughter]

[ music fades]

[ humming]

Ooh!

Ah-ha...

Hey, watch what you're doing with those big feet, Monkey.

You're giving me a headache down here.

Well, I don't mean to bother you,

but this is my garden.

Well, it's going to be.

And I think you go find somewhere else to wiggle.

Oh, you tell him, sis.

Oh, really?

Well, I was here first.

And anyway, without worms,

your garden will never grow.

So there!

Well, I'll just have to politely ask you to leave for now.

Hey, what the...?

[ screams]

Have a nice day.

Whoa... hey, what are you guys doing?

Tossing worms.

Really?

Not really, Snook.

I'm making a garden.

A special place to grow my favorite plants.

Oh, looks like a great spot, too, Smooch,

for getting just the right amount of sun and rain.

Hey, Snook, you want to help me with my garden?

I need to get the ground patted down.

Oh, sure. Why not?

Patting down the ground

to make sure the seeds get covered with soil

so they can start growing.

[ conga beats]

[ giggling]

[ humming]

[ giggles]

This is fun!

Hey, I want to join in, too.

[ humming b*at]

So, Smooch, did I hear Winslow say

you were tossing worms?

Yeah.

Can you believe that worm?

He wanted to stay in my garden.

Well...

actually, Smooch,

you want worms.

I do?

Yeah.

Those tunnels they make underground

loosen up the soil

and let in air and water.

They make it easier for roots to grow strong.

And strong roots mean bigger plants.

Really?

Oh, my.

How am I going to get them to come back?

Oh, Wormy...!

Sorry...!

Come back!

Yeah, don't be a "soiled" sport.

Get it? Worm. Soil.

Funny... oh.

Well, hopefully, a few kind words

will mean a lot to a worm.

So, Smooch, are you planning on growing some mangoes?

Well, that's not actually on my growing list, Snook.

Hey, maybe you can plant a little jungle garlic for me.

How about bananas, Smooch?

You have to grow bananas.

You help me plant the garden, and maybe I'll think about it...

next year.

Next year?! Forget it.

I can get my bananas for free anytime.

See ya, Snook. Smooch.

Bye, Winslow.Bye, Winslow.

Well, time to get back to work.

Smooch, may I have this dance?

[ giggles]: Certainly.

Hey, guys, what are you doing?

We're getting my garden ready.

Doing the garden waltz.

The garden waltz?

I don't know that dance,

but it looks pretty easy.

Maybe I should sing.

[ chuckles]

But, Wartz, we're not just dancing.

We're getting Smooch's garden ready for planting.

Really? That's great.

You don't grow flies in that garden, do you?

Not that I have ever seen.

Although when the vegetables get rotten sometimes,

there are a lot of flies.

Really?

Well, I'll come back then.

Hey, I got it!

See ya.

[ chuckles]

Ah, so, Smooch, what are you planning

to grow in your garden?

Well, I was going to grow some lettuce for Madge...

Oh, yeah, turtles and tortoises love lettuce.

And I'm growing some berries

because everyone loves berries in the world tree.

That's nice.

And a big squash for me.

Oh, that sounds great.

And, uh, I'll share it with you if you like.

[ giggles]: Okay, Snook, it's a deal.

Here, you can help me plant some more seeds.

Huh? Oh. Plants, right.

[ sighs]

[ gasps]

Gotcha!

Huh? Wartz!

How could you?!What's the matter, Smooch?

You're the matter, Wartz.

You're in my garden eating my plants.

I'm not. You are.

Oh, actually, I'm not. And eating...

Well, don't let me catch you here again.

Oh. Okay. If that's the way you want it.

I was only trying to help.

[ humming melody]

[ munching]

Huh?

[ clears throat]

Burdette, what are you doing with my berries?

You're eating them too soon.

They're not ripe.

I know they're not ripe.

I'm just trying to help you.

By eating everything in sight?

Eat everything? I don't think so.

Well, I do think so.

I would really appreciate it

if you could leave my garden alone. Oh!

Well, okay, then.

Ugh! Monkeys!

[ munching]Mmm!

[ gasps] Oh!

Not again!

Uh-oh.

Snail!

Not now! Not now! I'm into a really tender leaf here.

[ munching]

Snail, we are not alone.

Oh. Um, hi, there. He... hi... oh...

Really nice garden you have.

And we're pleased to tell you that your wonderful lettuce

has... has passed our official inspection!

Run for it!

You guys are soooo slow.

Oh, right.

Oh. Hey, Smooch. Oh, how's your garden growing?

Our squash ready to eat yet?

Not yet, Snook, but it won't be long.

Oh, Snook...Yeah?

I caught Wartz and Burdette eating my vegetables.

They said they were trying to help me with the garden,

but how could they be helping me if they were eating everything?

Oh, you know, Smooch,

I think we should go find Wartz and Burdette,

and ask them what they were really doing

in your garden. Don't you?

Mm-hmm?

Smooch is always nice to me.

She probably didn't understand

what we were doing in her garden.

Then she should have asked us.

Why, I'd never eat those kind of berries she's growing.

When you have feathers like mine,

eating the right food is very important

to keep them beautiful.

Yeah, I know what you mean, Burdette.

I find eating flies keeps my skin perfect--

smooth and green.

Hey, Wartz, Burdette.

Hi, Snook. Uh... Hi, Smooch.

Hi, Wartz.Hello, Snook.

Go on, Smooch.

Ask them what they were doing in your garden.

Uh... Wartz, Burdette,

were you eating my lettuce and berries?

No. Of course not, Smooch.

Me either, Smooch.

It's just that those little flying bugs I like

hide away under your lettuce leaves,

so I had to dig a bit to catch them.

So, Burdette, what were you eating in Smooch's garden?

I was picking off all the berry bush bugs.

I thought Smooch would appreciate

not having to pick them off herself.

So you were helping me?

The grubs and bugs would have eaten your lettuce and berries

if it hadn't been for Wartz and Burdette.

That's about it,Smooch.

I'm happy to come back

to your garden anytime if you want me to.

You grow the best little flying bugs ever.

Thank you, Wartz.

And of course you can come back to my garden.

You, too, Burdette.

I am so sorry.

Aw, that's nice.

You see, Smooch, a healthy garden is a wonderful thing.

It's a tiny world unto itself--

a careful mix of good soil, sun, rain, worms

and, most of all,

friends like Wartz and Burdette

to help you keep those pesky bugs in check.

So you see now,Smooch.

Wartz and Burdette were helping you after all.

[ sniffing]

Uh... Bob?

What are you doing in Smooch's garden?

Oh, hi, there, Snook, uh... Smooch.

I was taking a stroll with the ants

a... a... and what do you know?

They brought me right here.

I bet they did, Bob.

I, uh... I think they were playing hide-and-seek with me.

[ sniffing]

Uh-oh! I don't think

the ants came to Smooch's garden

to play hide-and-seek, Bob.

I think they were after my sq...

uh, Smooch's squash!Look!

Wow! How are they doing that?

Oh, ants are strong little guys, Smooch.

They can carry many times their own weight.

Oh, no! I'm sorry, Smooch.

I'll go get it back for you right away.

Hey, that squash belongs to Smooch!

And, uh... uh... Oh! Be careful!

It might fall on you, little buddies,

and then you'd be squashed, too.

Come back!

[ chuckling]

Smooch, do you get the feeling

we're not going to see our squash again?

When am I going to get some peace and quiet around here?

And remember, there are lots of amazing animals

in the big, big world that you can learn more about.

Do you know any amazing animals in your neighborhood? Cool.

You know who's a great animal?

My friend Burdette. She's a quetzal bird.

Whoa! I know that's a big word,

but it just means she's

a very pretty kind of bird.

Hey, did you know that

all birds have feathers? And that no other animals do?

It's pretty cool, huh?

Burdette loves her feathers.

And she should. They sure are

beautiful.

And useful, too.

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.
