(Giggling)

Mouseyou'll never believe

What happened to me and rabbit today.

It started out as a teensy problem,

But the more we tried to fix it,

The more it turned into a big fur-fuffle!

(Giggles) oops!

Don't you love that word, fur-fuffle?

Rabbit and I made it up.

It means a big mess!

Kinda like these nuts.

Rabbit and mousewoo-hoo, wah-hoo! (Laughing)

(Sneezing and laughing)

I love nut-boarding!

Me too!

(Gasps)

What's wrong?

(Agitated grunts)

Oh, my back is itchy.

Here, I'll scratch it.

(Scratching grunts)

(Giggles)

Ooh. Oh!

Higher.

Ooh! Use your toenails!

Ugh. Seven hairs to the left.

(Grunts) scratch harder!

I'm scratching as hard as I can!

(Agitated groans)

It's not working.

I'm so itchy!

(Frantic grunts)

(Rapid scratching)

(Frantic grunts)

(Grunts and groans)

Is that working?

Ugh! No!

I need a thinga-ma-scratcher.

(Gasps)

Ahh... (Relieved sigh)

(Water spurts)

Uh-oh! I made the hill leak!

Oh my whiskers!

That's not a hill,

That's the beaver dam!

It's what beavers build

To keep the pond on the other side!

Quick, put the stick back!

Ungh!

(Water trickles)

Oops. Now what?

Hmm...

Oh...

Hmm.

(Gasps) thump-eka!

That meansrabbit has a good idea!

There! No more leak.

Thunder(giggling)

Hi!

What are you doing?

I just fixed the dam,

With my very own ear!

(Water spurts out)

Uh, I mean, ears.

The dam's leaking, thunder,

And we can't hold the water back forever.

I think we should find the beaver

And tell him what happened.

How? We can't let go!

Can I help?

I can do help!

Of course!

Thunder can go and find the beaver!

Yes! I can find a beaver!

Uh, what's a beaver?

Well, it's an animal who likes water, and-

Likes water! Okay!

(Cheeping nearby)

Beavers like water.

Beavers like water.
[ … ]

(Giggling nearby)

Gibble-goose girls♪ oh, we paddle over here

♪ And we paddle over there

♪ And we like to dunk our heads ♪

♪ With our tails in the air... ♪

Thunder(laughs)

All(gurgling)

(Laughing)

Thunderwhoa!

Oh! Hi, thunder.

Hi! Do you like water?

Pearl of course we do.

Coral and amberwe love it! We adore it!

It's a blast!

Goody!

Quick, come with me.

Rabbit and mouse need help!

Need help? Uh oh! Oh, my!

(Cheeping)

Oh thump!

I'm itchy again.

Again?!

I wonder why he's so itchy?

You need to scratch with something

That gets right into your fur.

(Water trickles)

Hmm...

There!

A super-dee-doover itch-remover!

Ooh! That's hop-tastic!

Ohhh!

Thunderlook! I got four beavers!

Huh? What? Beavers?

Mouse(chuckles)

Thunder, the girls aren't beavers.

They're geese. (Giggles)

Thundergeese?

Oopsie. (Giggles)

Why do you want a beaver?

I made the dam leak.

We have to tell the beaver!

(Water spurts)

But what if it all leaks out

Before you can find the beaver?

Oh, cabbage.

I never thought of that.

Maybe we should try to fix it ourselves,

But how?

Hmm...

We need to hop-think.

("Hmm's" as he hops)

Hmmm...

Allhmmm...

Better think fast.

The pond's getting out!

I know!

Maybe we could make the water leak backwards

Into the pond?

Good idea!

(Water burst out)

Whoa!

The poor dam.

It looks like it's crying.

Maybe if we cheer it up,

It'll stop leaking.

Yeah!

But how do you cheer up a dam?

Same way as anybody -

With a big hug!

And we're excellent huggers.

Hug the dam?

I guess it's worth a try.

Okay girls,

This has to be the best beaver-dam-hug ever.

Wings up!

Pearlsmiles on!

Ready, and...

Huuuug!

(Giggling)

Did it stop leaking?

Whoa! I don't think so.

Oh, what a fur-fuffle!

If the beaver were here,

He'd know how to fix the dam!

Thunderi can find the beaver!

Can I try again?

Okay, thunder.

But this time, remember:

Beavers like water,

But they also have big teeth.

Okay!

Excuse me, do you have big teeth?

(Fly buzzes, frog ribbits)

(Gulps)

Wow! Big tongue! (Giggles)

But no teeth.

Hazel! Do you like water?

Well, I sure like to drink it.

And do you have big teeth?

Well, yes!
[ … ]

They are pretty big if I do say so myself.

Yay! I did it!

I found one!

Uh!

Ugh.

Ooh!

My itchy back is back.

I can't reach it right now.

Try to think of something else.

Thunderyay!

I found a beaver!

You what?

(Laughs) good try, thunder,

But hazel's a squirrel.

(Giggling)

That dam has more holes than a tree

After a woodpecker party!

And there's not enough of you to plug all these holes.

Let's think of something else.

Good idea! Like what?

Mushrooms!

Pinecones!

Mud pies!

Or, you could use something you have a lot of.

Like these acorns!

(Grunts of effort)

Hah! Hah!

See? Acorns are tasty and useful.

I'll be thumped.

It's working!

(Water gurgles from behind the dam)

Uh-oh.

That doesn't sound good.

(Acorns pop and water spurts)

Rabbitduck! (Everyone screams)

(Water spurts)

Coralmouse?

Are we still in a fur-fuffle?

Oh, it's leaking more than ever!

We really need a beaver's help.

Thunder?

Thunderuh-huh?

Do you think you could try

One more time

To find a real beaver?

Okay!

Great!

Now, rememberbeavers like water

And they have big teeth,

But they also have a big, flat tail.

Like water,

Big teeth,

Big flat tail.

Okay!

(Bugs buzz, birds sing)

(Cicada's chirp)

Jasper?

Do you like water?

Oh yeah.

There's no better place to be

Than by the water.

Do you have big teeth?

Are these big enough?

(Chuckles)

And you have a big flat tail!

Thanks! It matches the teeth.

It's you!

You're the one I've been looking for!

(Laughing)

Soggy salamanders,

I'm running out of paws!

At least I have a nice view.

You're lucky!

All I see is rabbit's dirty back.

How'd you get so dirty?

I landed in the dirt

When mouse and I were nut-boarding.

Thunder(pants) okay!

I brought a beaver!

Huh?

Alluh oh. (Giggling) ohhh...

Hi, jasper.

We thought you'd be a beaver!

Why would I be a beaver?

I'm not furry.

Beavers are furry?

Heh. Why didn't you say so?

What's going on here?

The beaver dam is leaking.

And my back is itchy!

I made a thinga-ma-scratcher but it broke.

And we tried to cheer the dam up.

And I stuck acorns in the leaks.

And even mouse's super-dee-doover itch remover

Didn't work!

Mouseso the dam's still leaking.

Rabbit(groans) oh.

And my back's still itchy!

Jadeand dirty.

Hm...
[ … ]

One itchy back and one leaking dam.

That's two problems.

Maybe two problems add up to one solution.

You mean, one problem could help solve the other?

Could be. (Chuckles)

I don't see how rabbit's itchy back

Could fix a leaky dam.

But maybe...

The leaky dam could fix his itchy back!

What if it's itchy because it's dirty?

You could use the leak to spray-wash your back!

Ooh, it's working!

My itch is gone!

But what about fixing the dam?

Beavergee whiskers!

Is it bath day?

I found a beaver!

(Chuckles)

And I have the big teeth,

Big tail and furry fur to prove it!

He already checked.

So, I hear there's some kind of fur-fuffle?

I made your dam leak.

I'm sorry!

Can you fix it?

Why would I want to fix it?

You made it so that I can have a shower

Any time I want!

(Excited whoops and satisfied grunts)

Oh, that's nice.

You mean, you like it this way?

It's okay, guys,

You can let go!

Everyone(playful laughter)

And the beaver loved it!

So our leaky dam problem

Wasn't really a problem at all,

It was a solution to rabbit's itchy back!

Rabbit(scratching grunts)

(Gasps) oh no...

Rabbit, don't tell me your itchy back is back!

Ugh. No, I'm just trying to get dirty again.

Why?

So I'll have an excuse

To have another spray-wash at the beaver dam!

Both(laughing)

Did you ever have a friend

Who said he could do something so amazing,

So incredible,

So...

Oh, it just seemed impossible?!

Well, that's my friend, rabbit.

He said could make the moon appear

By snapping his fingers!

(Snaps his fingers) true story.

What did I do?

Well, I just followed along

'Cause he's my best friend,

And if he says he can make the moon appear,

I just say, "yeah! Do it, rabbit!

You never know unless you try!"

And I'm really glad I did, because...

Oh, well, you'll see why.

Mouseit all started one night

When I was happily, quietly,

And may I add,

Peacefully sleeping beside the pond.

(Snoring)

Leaping lettuce, what a night!

The sky...

Oh, the stars,

The moon... Huh? Oops! (Chuckles)

Sorry, mouse.

(Laughs)

The stars, the moon and...

Hey!

I'll be thumped!

Where's the moon?

It was just here!

Hang on a hop,

I know what to do!

Moon appear!

(Snaps his fingers)

(Gasps) I did it!

I made the moon come back!

I made the moon come back!

(Laughs) yee-hoo!

I did it! I did it!

(Laughing) woo-hoo! Woo-hoo-hoo!

(Snoring)

Amber, amber!

Would you mind turning over please?

Your snoring's quite discombobulating!

Discom-wha?

(Snoring)

Mouse! Oh, mouse! Wake up!

I have the most carrotastic news!

Whoa, rabbit...

Don't poke that nest with...

Ahhhhh!
[ … ]

See that big shiny moon, mouse?

See it? (Giddy) see it?

See it? See it!

Oh, rabbit! Put me down!

It's too, too bright!

It is bright!

That's because I made it appear!

Huh?

What did you say?!

I made the moon appear.

(Dazed) oh...

You didn't.

I did!

You couldn't!

I could!

Oh, my quivering whiskers, rabbit!

How, how... How did you do it?

Easy-peasy!

I just snapped it up.

(Snaps his fingers)

So if you think it's too bright,

Well I'll just snap again and make it go away!

(Clears throat) okay.

Watch closely, mouse.

Moon, go away!

(Snaps fingers)

Hmm. One more time.

Moon, disappear! (Snaps fingers)

Hey!

I don't know what's wrong.

I made it appear with a snap,

Why won't it disappear?

Hmmm...

Maybe you're doing something differently this time.

Tell me everything you did before.

I was out in the field

And I raised my arm up like-

That's it!

You have to be out in the field!

(Excited laughter)

Moon, go away! (Snaps fingers)

Bye, bye moon!

(Snapping fingers) disappear! Disappear!

Disappear! Disappear!

Disappear!

I have to help rabbit figure this out,

Or he'll snap himself silly.

Rabbit, you know how the moon gets higher

And higher in the sky as the night goes on?

Maybe it's moved too far away

To hear your snap.

Hmm...

Well, then I'll just hop closer.

(Jumping grunts, snapping fingers)

Moon away!

Urgh!

Moon! (Grunts and snaps his fingers)

Yikes! Moon be gone!

You can do it, rabbit!

Nice one!

One more try!

My! I can't sleep.

The moon is too bright.

Hey, what's rabbit doing?

Mousehe's making the moon disappear.

Oh. Well, that hopping should help.

Rabbithi, thunder.

(Grunts) don't worry,

(Grunts) I know the moon's bright...

(Grunts) but it'll be gone in a hop.

I just gotta... (Strained grunt)

Get closer...

(Grunts and pants)

Wait a minute!

Thunder, come with me!

(Grunts of effort)

Almost!

Almost!

Moon, disappear!

(Snaps)

Oh, so close.

We need to get even closer.

Mouse, you climb up on thunder.

Me? But I can't snap.

Sure you can!

Just put your fingers together and... (Snaps)

(Snaps)

Oh, oh!

I guess I can snap, but- woooaaahh!

Nice work, thunder.

Now just hang on there, mouse.

(Grunts of effort)

Okay, everybody, stretch!

(Stretching grunts) (thunder chuckles)

Rabbit(strains) okay, mouse,

Give it a snap.

(Snaps)

Allwhoaoaoaoaoaoaoa!

(Tumbling grunts and laughter)

Whoaoaoao! (Laughing)
[ … ]

(Giggles) whoopee!

Let's do that again,

And again, and again!

You guys, look!

Wha-?

Thunderuh-oh!

The moon fell into the pond!

Great rolling rutabagas!

I snapped the moon out of the sky

And sunk it!

Thunderuh-oh...

Not to worry, mouse!

We'll get it out.

(Splashing)

Ooh.

It keeps slipping off the stick.

Hm... Better hop-think on this one.

(Hmm's while he thinks)

(Fretful groan)

Hm...

We need to get closer to the moon somehow.

What?!

Out in the water?

Water! Woo-hoo!

Mouseaahhhh!

I'm not getting wet.

We need some kind of a...

A... Pondi-floater!

A pondi-floater! Great idea, mouse.

Oh!

Maybe I can scoop out the moon

With my horn?

Scoop!

Scoop!

Scoop!

That's it!

Gibble-goose girls(snoring) num, num, num... Tweet,tweet, tweet...

Hey, jade! Wake up!

Listen to your snoring!

It's sooo pretty!

(Snoring) num, num, num... Tweet, tweet, tweet...

Ta-da! My super-duper moon-up-scooper!

And our moon-catching pondi-floater!

Come on, mouse!

Um... Okay.

This thing better float.

Rabbitoff we go to save the moon!

(Water sloshes)

Oh, cabbages!

It's down too deep.

Thunder, can you feel the moon

With your toes!

Hmm...

(Chuckles) is it really squishy?

Squishy? I don't think so.

Hmm... Then, nope.

No...

Uhn-uhn.

Wait a sec, I think I have...

Whoops! (Splash)

Bothwhoaoaoao!

Rabbitoof!

Hey! What's this?

Jasper's fishing stick.

Hmmm...

Gibble-goose girls(snoring) num, num, num... Tweet, tweet, tweet...

Jasper(sleepy yawn)

Goody!

Hey, guys, what are ya fishing for?

Hey, jasper.

Rabbit's fishing for the moon!

(Chuckles)

The moon! Whoa!

That's a big catch.

Well, ya see,

I snapped the moon out of the sky

And it sunk into the pond.

So we tried to scoop it

With the super-duper moon-up-scooper,

But that didn't work,

So then thunder tried to find the moon

With his toes,

But he tipped over our pondi-floater.

And then we found your fish-catching pole and...

Oh, it's all too much!

Whoa! Hold on! Back up!

How did all this start?

It started when...

I made the moon appear.

Like this! (Snaps fingers)

One minute it was gone and then - snap! -

There it was!

Hmm...

Were there any clouds around,

By any chance?

Well, now that you mention it.

Ya know, sometimes,

When the moon goes behind a cloud,

It looks like it disappears.

And then when it comes out...
[ … ]

It... Appears?

And maybe you just snapped at the right time!

Yes!

But that doesn't help our problem now!

We gotta to get the moon back up to the sky.

Well, what do you call that?

Rabbit, mouse and thunder(gasp) the moon!

It's back in the sky!

But it's still in the water too.

(Chuckles)

That's not the moon, thunder.

That's just the reflection.

It's a picture of the moon

On the surface of the water.

Sure looks like the moon.

(Laughs)

Mousewowsie.

Two moons!

So we finally figured it out.

Rabbit didn't make the moon appear,

It just came out from behind a cloud,

And I didn't snap the moon into the pond, either.

It was just a reflection.

But I really like the idea of two moons:

One in the sky for everybody,

And one in the pond just for us -

And me, mouse!
