Oh, hi.

Have you ever had a tricky question

That you just couldn't answer?

Like...

If you put a snowball in water,

Will it sink or float?

Really makes ya think, doesn't it?

Well, that's what happened to jasper the other day.

He had a really tricky question to think about.

♪♪♪

Snowy-snowy snow-snow-snow!!

Hey, jasper.

Oh hey, mouse.

Where does snow come from?

Snow comes from clouds.

Why is it so cold?

It's cold because it's frozen.

Hmm... Um...

Why is some snow sticky?

Some snow is sticky because it has more water in it.

Ta-dah!

My snowball stack!

Oooh! Nice work, mouse.

Oh, no! My stack!

Whoaa!!

Hey,

Did you see that?

Jasper,

The whole pond is frozen except that one spot.

Why?

Hmm... Umm...

Uh...

Uh, jasper? What's the answer?

Why doesn't that spot freeze?

You know, that's a really hard one, mouse!

I just don't know!

Hmm...

Jasper doesn't know something?!

Oh no!

Something must be wrong with him!

I better tell rabbit!

Hmm...

For a really tricky question like this,

Maybe we better-

Mouse?

Mouse?

Hmm. Oh, well.

I better go figure this out.

Hmm...

There's ice all around...

Ooh! And this water is cold!

Why doesn't it freeze?

Hmm...

Ooh! (Laughing happily)

Snoweramaaaaaa!

Whooooooaaaa! Oh! Ahh! Oof!

(Laughing) hi, mouse!

Wanna play snowerama with me?

I can't, rabbit.

I'm too discombobulated!!

Why? What happened?

I asked jasper a simple question,

A question jasper should have known the answer to,

But, rabbit,

Jasper didn't know!

How can that be?

I'm not sure, mouse.

(Heavy sigh) there has to be a reason!

Jasper usually knows everything.

Um, well...

Maybe jasper is just thinking a little more slowly

Because of the cold.

(Gasps) that's it! Jasper's brain is frozen!

Okay, rabbit, we have to warm it up!!

Hmmm...

Hey, jasper!

Hey, pearl.

Hey, jasper!
[ … ]

Hey, amber.

Hey, jasper!

Hey, coral.

Hey, jasper!

Hey, jade!

(Goslings giggling)

Say, do you gibble goose girls swim in this spot often?

Pearloh, yes!

Jadewe love it here!

Amberit's our favourite spot!

Coralit never freezes!

Never?

(Taking turns) never!

Never!

Never!

Never!

Allso we can swim all winter long!

(Giggling)

It never, never freezes.

Hmm... I wonder why?

Why doesn't that water freeze?

I know it's cold; I felt it myself.

But maybe it's not cold enough.

Hmm...

Maybe that water is just a little warmer

Than it needs to be to freeze.

But why would it be warmer?

(Giggling)

Jasperwhoa!

The sun is really shining on the water over there!

Hey! Sunshine is warm!

Maybe it's making the water warm

And melting the ice!

I better go and check! Mousejasper!

Huh?

Mouseclose your eyes!

We have a surprise for you!

Oh my.

Rabbitthere.

What's this?

Well, it's been so cold out lately,

We thought this would keep your head warm!

Thanks, guys, that's really nice!

Jasper... Are you feeling warmer?

Yes, thanks.

So, why doesn't that one spot on the pond freeze?

Huh? Huh?

Do you know the answer, jasper?

Do ya? Do ya? Hmm?

Uh... Ah... Well...

Ah, come on!

Um...

To tell you the truth,

I still don't know for sure,

But I'm working on it.

See ya later.

(Heavy sighs)

See? I told ya!

Jasper's brain's still frozen.

Uh-hunh.

(Gibble goose girls giggle)

Jasperhey, guys.

Alloh, hello.

Jadehi.

Your swimming spot sure is sunny!

Pearlyou bet!

Amberit's a really sunny spot.

Coralsure is!

Jadethat's why we loooove to swim here!

Hmm.

Maybe the sun is the reason the water doesn't freeze here.

Pearlif that was true

Then the ice would melt on all the really sunny spots.

Amberand there are really sunny spots all over the pond!

Coralthe sunniest is in the middle.

(Chuckling) wow,

You gibble goose girls really know your pond!

Allof course we do!

We love our pond sooooo much!

Hmm...

So I guess it's not the sun

That keeps your spot from freezing.

I better do some more thinking.

Rabbit(humming)

Mousehow are we going to unfreeze jasper's brain, rabbit?

Rabbityou know, mouse,

Sometimes when I get up in the morning,

My hops aren't their hoppiest.

So, I do a few small hops just to get things going.

So maybe...

I get it!

We can get jasper's brain warmed up

By asking him a bunch of small questions.

Good idea!

Wait a sec.

Looks like the current is moving the water quite fast

In the open spot.

Allwhoa! Whoa! Mmph!

Jaspernow, I know that when water freezes

It stays still, so maybe...
[ … ]

That water can't freeze because it's moving too much!

I better test out this idea.

Mousehi, jasper!

What's my name?

What colour am i?

How many tails do I have?

How may eyes? How many teeth?

Jasperwell, hold on.

Uh, your name is mouse,

You're a nice brown colour,

You have one tail, two eyes

And I don't know how many teeth!

I'd have to count!

Ahhhhhh!

(Laughing) mouse!

Why are you asking me all these questions?

We're trying to unfreeze your brain.

(Chuckles) what?

Your brain might be frozen,

Because you don't know why

That spot on the pond doesn't freeze...

And you always know the answer to everything!!

I don't know the answer to everything,

No one does.

But I do like the idea of warming up my brain!!

(Laughs)

That's what I've been trying to do -

By watching,

Thinking up ideas, and trying them out.

Mousethinking up ideas warms up your brain?

Jaspersure does.

And I have a new idea.

Maybe the current is the reason the water doesn't freeze.

But if that's true,

Then the current should only move the water

In the unfrozen part of the pond.

Pearlthe stick is going...

Amberunder the ice.

So ice freezes...

Over moving water.

Gibble goose girlswow!

(Sighs) you're right, gibble goose girls.

The current isn't the answer.

So, what do we try next?

Hmm...

Hey!

I know what to try!!

What we always try when we find a tricky problem -

A hop-think!!

Ooh! Great idea, rabbit.

Allhmmmmm!

Why doesn't that part of the pond freeze?

I've asked myself that question

Over and over,

But I can't seem to find the answer.

Allhmmmmmm...

Wait a second,

Maybe that's the wrong question.

What do you mean, rabbit?

Maybe the water does freeze!

But then, why isn't there any ice?

Maybe someone is breaking the ice!

But why?

Maybe it's mr. Beaver

Trying to get to his home.

Or, maybe a sleepy bear is thirsty

And needs a drink.

Rabbiti have an idea.

Let's all meet here early tomorrow morning

And see whether this part of the pond

Has frozen overnight.

And then we'll know if someone is breaking the ice.

Mouseexactly!

Gibble goose girlsyay!

Coral(gasps) it is frozen!

Jasperokay, then.

Maybe pearl's idea is right.

Mousethere's an ice-breaker around somewhere!

Rabbitlet's hide out and watch.

(Gibble goose girls sigh)

See anyone yet?

Mm... Nope.

How much longer do we have to wait?

As long as it takes.

Sometimes the only way to solve a problem

Is to stick with it.

(Gasps) look! Someone's coming!

(Tall grass rustling)

(Contented sigh)

Oh, my quivering whiskers!

It's thunder!

(Tap-tap, grunts)

Jadehe's breaking the ice!!

But why?

We better ask him.

Come on!

Gibble goose girlshi.

Jadewhatcha doin'?

Thunder, what're you doing?

Uh... Breaking the ice.
[ … ]

No, I mean why?

Why are you breaking the ice?!

Oh, I do this every morning

Before the gibble goose girls

Come for their swim.

I know this is their favourite spot,

So I like to keep it nice and clear!

You do that?

Just for us?!

Awww.

Sooo nice!

Thank you, thunder!

Gibble goose girlsyou're the best! (Kisses) mwah!

Oooh, you're welcome.

(Giggles)

Well, that's one tricky question we've finally figured out.

I knew we would.

We just had to stick to it.

(Humming)

So it turned out

That jasper's brain wasn't frozen after all!

He was just figuring things out.

Jasper is super smart,

But he doesn't know everything;

No one does!

So, we worked together and we solved the problem

Of the unfrozen spot on the pond.

All(giggling and laughing)

Mousejasper,

Do snowballs sink or float?

Hmm...

I'm not sure, mouse,

Maybe we better find out.

Jasper and mouse(laughing)

Mousedid you ever wonder how you think up ideas?

I mean,

You could be just sitting there and then - bam! -

A good idea just pops into your head!

But how?

That's what thunder started wondering one day,

After he got a bunch a good ideas in a row.

Hey!

Hmm...

I could just go around,

But my friends use this path.

(Grunts of effort)

(Giggles) that's better!

(Creaking)

Huh?

(Grunts of effort)

Uh oh!

Now what?

Better do a hop-think.

Hmm...

Uh, thunder, what's going on?

Oh, I'm doing a hop-think.

Kinda hard to do with a log on your horn.

It's stuck;

That's why I'm doing a hop-think.

Wanna hop-think too?

Well, how about I just pull the log off?

Unnnggghh!

Ugh!

Unnnngggh!

Ugh!

Unnnggghhh!

Ugh!

Whoa!

Oopsie.

Urrgggh!

More stuck than ever!

Wait a second,

I just got an idea!

(Grunts)

Wooo! Yippee!

(Laughing) nice work, thunder.

And look!

You got a prize!

Wow!

Wait till I show everyone my new horn ring!

Woo hoo!

Allhmmmm...

Hey guys, look at this!

Mousewow, nice horn ring.

Rabbitcarrotastic, thunder.

But hazel's got a problem.

Hazelsome of my acorns fell into this hole

And they're too deep to reach.

We could help.

I do helping!

Hmmm...i have an idea!

Rabbitalready?

One time, I missed one of hazel's rolling acorns

And it fell into the stream and floated away.

Uh huh?

Well, if we put water in the hole,

The acorns will float to the top,

Just like they floated in the stream!

That's a great idea, thunder.

Will it work?
[ … ]

Only one way to find out.

(Splash, slurping)

(Water rushing)

(Splash)

(Splash)

(Splash)

Mouseit worked!

Hazelthanks, thunder!

I never would've thought of that!

Rabbityeah! Great thinking, thunder.

I did do a great idea.

I wonder how?

Jasper(gasps) hey! What's going on?

Mousehuh?

Rabbitcome on, let's go!

Jasper, what's wrong?

I've been picking berries for a picnic,

But every time I put them down and try to pick more,

They disappear!

Watch!

Berries(chittering)

Thunderwhoa!

Allwhoa! Wow!

Whoa! Come back here!

Hazelants!

They were taking away the berries

Jasper picked for his picnic.

Ants(tiny little squeaks)

D'oh!

(Chittering)

Rabbithmm...

This is a tricky problem.

Hmm... I've got an idea!

I remember, once, hazel wanted my nut mash

And I just shared it with her.

So why don't we do sharing with the ants?

Then they won't need to take the berries.

We can all have a picnic.

I'd be delighted

If you all could all join me for a picnic.

Ants(chitter excitedly)

(Chuckling) looks like the ants want to bring something

To the picnic too.

Mint! Mmm, yum!

Mmm...

What a great - and minty -

Idea you had, thunder!

Why am I getting all these great ideas?

Hmm...

(Gasp) that's it!

(Gulp) what's it?

My new horn ring -

It must be an idea maker!!

Thunder's horn ring could be an idea maker,

Couldn't it?

I don't think so.

You always have good ideas, thunder.

But I never did this many before, rabbit.

It has to be the idea maker, not just me.

Okay, why don't you take off the horn ring for a while

And see what happens?

Take it off?

I think you'll still have the same good ideas.

I don't want to take off my idea maker, rabbit.

I like doing great ideas and helping my friends.

Gibble goose girls(distressed calls)

Rabbit and mouseuh oh! Oh, dear!

Rabbitcoral, amber, jade and pearl, what's wrong?

We want to dive in!

But the pondi-floater keeps sinking!

It's no fun.

We can't dive!

Ugh! Water.

You two better figure this one out.

Bothhmmmm...

(Gasps) I've got it!

You do?

You gibble goose girls are too heavy

All together.

That's why the pondi-floater is sinking.

Gibble goose girlsohhhhhhhh!

Thunderyou have to all get off, then jump one at a time.

Pearlokay!

(Cheering and giggling) yay!

Yay!

Yeah!

Great thinking, thunder!

I know.

My idea maker does great ideas!

Thunder!

It's not the horn ring, it's you!

Amberwahoo! (Splash)

Woo hoo!

Both(giggling)

Jadethunder, great idea.

Not me, the idea maker.

It's even giving me ideas before someone asks.

(Laughs gleefully)

Gibble goose girlsyay idea maker!

Wowsie!
[ … ]

It looks like thunder's idea maker really does work!

It's not the idea maker, mouse,

It's thunder.

Hmm...

Well, you have to admit, rabbit,

Thunder's new ideas are pretty great.

Look.

Hmm...

The water's kinda fast to do floating.

Hmm...

Wait a sec. Got it!

Good one!

(Sighs contentedly)

Perfect!

Another great idea from my idea maaa...

(Gasps) oh, no!

Where's my idea maker?!

Mouse! Rabbit!

It's gone!

My idea maker is goooooone!

Great rolling rutabagas!

Thunder's idea maker!!

It's vanished, missing, disappeared!

What are we going to do?

Thunderi don't know, I don't know!

How can I figure out what to do without my idea maker?

Good point.

I'll never have a good idea again!

Rabbitstop!

Calm down.

We can solve this problem like we always do -

With a hop-think.

How can I hop-think without my idea maker?

How can we help thunder find his horn ring?

Mousewe could...

Hmm... Ask questions!

Good idea, mouse.

When was the last time you had your horn ring,

Thunder?

Uhhhm.

I had it when I got the idea to move the log

And make the floating pool.

And where were you when you realized

The idea maker was missing?

In the pool!

So...

The idea maker has to be somewhere between

Where you got the idea to move the log

And the pool.

Yes!

So... What are we waiting for?

Allyay!!!

Mouse(sigh) we've looked all around the pool and no idea maker.

Where else could it be?

I don't know.

I just don't...

(Gasp) wait, I remember!

Before I moved the log,

I took off the idea maker

And hooked it on a branch!

Right... Over... Here!

That broken branch?

(Gasps) noooo.

My idea maker is really gone!

Don't worry, thunder.

It has to be here somewhere.

Where are you? (Echoes)

Hmm...

Wait a minute.

The ground is slanty here.

It must have rolled away!

(Gasps) there it is!

We'll never reach it.

Rabbityou never know.

(Grunts of effort)

Sorry, thunder.

I'm not quite stretchy enough.

Maybe edweena could hold the stick in her trunk

To reach the idea maker?

Good idea.

C'mon, let's go.

Alledweena!

Edweena(straining grunts)

That way...

Now over...

Edweedna(grunts)

Mouseyay! You got it!

Thank you soooo much, edweena!

That was close.

Now I can keep doing good ideas.

But thunder,

You didn't have your horn ring

When you remembered where you left it.

Or when you figured out what happened to the idea maker

When the branch broke.

Rabbitor when you came up with the great idea

Of how to get it back.

You thought up all those things without your horn ring!!

You mean,

I did all those good ideas by myself?!!
[ … ]

Yep. And the floating acorns,

Sharing the berry picnic,

Not sinking the pondi-floater,

The log in the waterfall - all you!

You're right!

I am smart enough to have great ideas...

All by myself!

Rabbit showed thunder he didn't need an idea maker

To have good ideas -

He had good ideas all the time!

And now thunder keeps getting great ideas,

Even about his idea maker!

Thunderhmmm...

(Gasps) well, toot my horn!

I have an idea!

An idea? What about?

An idea about what to do with my horn ring!!

Yippee! (Giggles)

(Grunt of effort)

(Thunder laughing gleefully)

Ants(chittering)

All(giggling)

Mousegreat game you thought up, thunder.

Hoptastic!

Thanks!

All(laughing)
