[Max]: Yo, ho, ho!

Any sign, Max?

Mm-mm.

Not yet.

Come on, Grandma.

I can't waitfor her to get here.

Let me guess,

you're excited to spend timewith Grandma, right?

Who wouldn't be excitedto spend time with Grandma,

especially at the lakeon Grandma's boat?

[span]The Mermaid[/span]!

[giggles]

Grandma promised

to teach me to tiesailor knots,

which willhelp me earn

my knot-tyingBunny Scout badge!

I'm sure you'll allhave a great time.

[doorbell rings]

[gasps]

She's here!She's here!

Hi, Ruby!

Oh!

Hi, Morris.

I forgot you're coming, too.

[giggles]

We're going fishing.

I broughtmy new fishing rod.

We can share!

Ready to catcha big one, Max?

Yeah!

Great.

You two can have fun fishing

while I learn to tie knotswith Grandma.

Ahoy, Mateys!

Is everybody ready for a dayout on the high seas?

[all cheering]Yay! Wha-hoo!

[laughing]

[♪♪♪]

I can't wait

to start tyingsailor knots, Grandma.

[chuckles]

Well, we've only just foundour sea legs, but okay!

How about we start off

with the mostimportant knot of all?

It's called "The Bowline,"

and it's usefulfor so many things,

like attaching floatsto fishing lines,

so we can practicefishing safely.

Okay, now,

here's a little rhyme

to help rememberhow this works.

"Up throughthe rabbit hole,

"round the big tree.

"Down through the rabbit hole,

and off goes he!"

There!

Now, why don't you boysgo practice fishing

off the stern?

That meansthe back of the boat.

Wow.

You know a lotabout boats, Max.

That's right!

He does.

Your turn to tiea bowline knot, Ruby.

Remember how it goes?

I sure do.

Up through the rabbit hole,

round the big tree.

Down through the rabbit hole,

and off goes...

[groans]

[chuckles]Oh, that's okay.

I didn't get itthe first time, either.

It takes practice.

Now, why don't yougive it another go?

Okay.

Up through the rabbit hole...

[reel clicking]

[splash]

Nice!

[reel clicking]

You're a very goodfisher-bunny.

That was a big one.

[splash]

You try, Max!

[reel clicking]

Max!

You caught Ruby, Max!

Another big one!

[laughs]

You boys might havemore room

to practice fishing

if you move to the dock.

Yay!

Dock fishing.

[♪♪♪]

Ready to catcha big one?

Mm-hmm.

That's big!

Try catching that, Max.

[reel clicking]

Wow!

You caught it first try!

Uh-oh, too big!

[snap]

It broke off.

[groans]

Down through the rabbit hole...

and off goes he.

[gasps]

I did it!

I'll say!

A perfect Bowline.

I think someone's readyto learn another useful knot,

called a "Clove Hitch."

Ooh... Clove Hitch.

I like the sound of that.

Let's get knotting!

[♪♪♪]

Can I try?

Of course!

Grab another rope,

so we canpractice together.

You'll find onein the bow.

First a Bowline,and now a Clove Hitch?

Knot-tying badge,here I come!

Huh?

I've never seenthat before.

Look, Grandma,a little boat!

[gasps]

I see you've foundmy first sailing ship.

It's very oldand very special.

It was given to meby my grandmother

when I wasa little girl.

Oh, how I used to play,

sailing awayin my imagination.

It's beautiful.

When I got older,

I couldn't waitto sail the real thing,

and that's when I got [span]The Mermaid.[/span]

I'm going to sailmy own boat one day, too.

I know you will.

But to do that,

I'm going to needto know more knots.

Then grab your rope,and let's get knotting.

[giggles]

Hmm...

Are you sureit's a toy, Max?

Grandma saidshe played with it.

[gasps]

Let's sail it in the water!

It might sail away.

Maybe if we tiea safety line to it?

Yeah, like Grandma showed us!

Up through the rabbit hole.

Round and round three.

It's time to go sailing,

with Morris and me!

There.

Time to set sail!

Bye-bye, mateys.

[splash]

Uh-oh.

Now, this one is calleda "Stopper Knot."

Can I try?

Go for it.

I'm sure it'll besmooth sailing.

[laughs]

Grandma!Grandma!

Oh, my!

Whateveris the matter?

Your little boatis sailing away!

How didthat happen?

Max doesn'tknow knots.

Sorry, Grandma.

That's okay, Max.

I could never resistsailing her, either.

Now, let's go catchthat little boat.

[♪♪♪]

After we catchyour Grandma's boat,

let's go backto fishing, Max.

Okay.

Thar she blows!

I see her, Grandma!

Get ready to grab heras we come around, Ruby!

Ready!

Watch your ears, boys.

How does she knowhow to do that?

She's Grandma.

All yours, Ruby!

Closer...

Closer!

Oof!

Aw, I couldn't reach!

She's sailing away!

What are we going to do?

How are we going to catch her?

[fishing line whooshing]

Max!

Do you thinkyou can catch her?

Sure!

I don't know, Max!

We lost the float,remember?

You'll needanother one

so you cancast your line.

Tie one on!

You can do it!

Up through the rabbit hole,round the big tree.

Down throughthe rabbit hole...

And off goes me!

[♪♪♪]

[reel clicking]

Yay!

Amazing, Max!

What a catch!

What a knot!

Strong enoughto do a rescue.

[seagull cries]

[♪♪♪]

So, how was your dayat the lake?

The best ever.

I learned to tielots of knots.

[clinking cups]

Oh, that sounds like fun.

Yes, and I can't waitto show the Bunny Scouts.

And how aboutyou, boys?

Max went fishing.

Morris, too.

So, did youcatch anything?

They sure did.

A big one.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Hurry, Max.

You don't want to be latefor your first soccer practice.

Yeah, I'm a soccer star.

You are a goodbasketball player,

but soccer is very different,

and the first rule of soccer is

no hands.

We use our feetto move the ball.

Other countries don't evencall it "soccer."

They call it "football."

Football?Cool.

Oh, and I've got a big surprisefor you at practice today.

I hope you like it.

What surprise?

You'll see.

[♪♪♪]

Hi.

Ready forsoccer practice?

I am!

Here you go, Priya!

Your turn, Morris.

I got it!

No, I don't.

Super kick!

Soccer star!

Nice catch, Max.

Now, let's get thissoccer practice started.

Um, Ruby...

Where's Coach Roger?

[blows whistle]

That's today'sextra-special surprise.

Coach Roger is letting mecoach your soccer team.

Coach... Ruby?

That's right, Max,

I'm earning my Bunny Scoutcoaching badge.

[players]:Amazing! Cool!

Coach Ruby!

[blows whistle]

Okay, team, get in a circle.

Last night, I made upa very special play,

and we're goingto practice it today.

We want to get the ball

from our endof the soccer field

to the other end.

We do that

by kicking the ballto each other

back and forth,

that's called "passing."

Then, we'll kick the ballat the other team's net.

And who will standin front of that net

and try to stop the ballfrom going in?

[everyone]:The goalkeeper!

That's right.

And if the ball getspast the goalkeeper,

and goes into that net,

it's a...

[everyone]: Goal!

[laughs]That's right.

First, we'llpractice each part,

then put allthe parts together.

Ready?

[everyone]: Ready!

Soccer star.

Nice!Yeah!

Way to go!Good throw!

Of course, we'll kickthe ball, not throw it.

Right, Max?

In soccer,we don't use our hands,

we use our feet.

Or our wheels.

[giggles]Or our wheels.

Right, Winston.

Okay, let's get started.

Okay, team, watch me.

I'll show youhow to control the ball

as you run.

It's easy.

First, you zigzagaround the cones

like this.

Wow, Coach Ruby is good.

Then you turn around

and run back as fast as you can.

Cool...

[sighs]

Okay, your turn,Winston.

[blows whistle]

[all cheering]Go Winston!

Yay! Way to roll!

Yeah!

Oops.

I've got it!

[chuckles]

You're up, Priya.

[blows whistle]

That's it,you can do it.

[clapping]Way to hustle, Priya!

It's your turn, Morris.

Morris?

Morris!

Hmm, where did he go?

I guess you're next, Max.

Get ready for a super kick!

Wow, that is a super kick.

I got it!

[applauding]

[together]: Soccer star!

Amazing kick, Winston.

A kick like thatsure will come in handy

when we have to score a goal.

My turn!

No hands, Max!

It's not basketball.

Right! I forgot.

Much better.

Now run it back!

I did it!

[everyone cheering]Whoo! Whoo-hoo!

Yay, Max!

My turn! My turn!

Pass it, Max!

Oops.

Sorry.

I should havepassed with my feet.

Morris,go around the cones.

Like this, Morris.

Whoo-hoo!

Get the ball!

Yeah!

[all laughing and giggling]

[laughing]

[blows whistle]

Wait, wait, one personkicks the ball at a time.

[laughing]

Soccer star!

Cool!

[sighs]

I think it's timefor our second drill.

We are going to practicepassing the ball in a circle.

First, we pass the ballback and forth

across the circle.

Yes, just like that.

Perfect.

Now let's make itmore challenging.

Max, you stepinto the circle.

Good.

Now, Max is the other team.

He's going to tryto stop you from passing.

Understand, Max?

Yes.

Okay, when I blowthe whistle,

pass the ball quickly

to keep Maxfrom getting it.

[blows whistle]

Good passing, team.

[laughing]

Oh, nice teamwork.That's it,

don't let Maxget the ball.

[blows whistle]

Nice catch, Max,

but remember, use your feet,not your hands.

But it bounced into my hands.

I know, but keep trying.

Okay.

Almost got you.

Here I come, Lily!

Whoa!

You're fast, Max.

Gotcha!

Soccer star!

Max!

How will I earnmy coaching badge

if I can't teach youto stop using your hands?

Sorry, Coach Ruby.

I was having fun.

I understand,

and it was a great catch,

but this is soccer,

so try to remember...

Use my feet.

[♪♪♪]

[blows whistle]Okay, team,

it's time to try outour special play.

Ready?

[everyone]: Yes!

Okay, I'm going to kick the ballway down the field.

You try to get past meand score a goal.

Easy for a soccer star.

It might be harderthan you think.

And remember,everyone...

[all together]: No hands.

Right.

[blows whistle]

Whoa!

Look at that kick!

Hurry, Morris,kick it to me.

[Ruby]: Nice pass, Morris.

I got it!

Come on, team!

[♪♪♪]

Good job.

[laughing and panting]

Almost gotcha.

[players laughing]

That's how you do it.

[laughter]

Catch, Winston!

[blows whistle]

Your feet, Max.

Use your feet.

Only goalkeepers areallowed to use their hands

in soccer.

Right.

[team cheering]:Go, go, go!

Hey!

Go, Winston!

Go, Lily!

[giggling]

Great passing, guys.

Watch out,I'm coming to get you.

[laughs]

Yes, nice move.

Amazing kick, Winston!

[Ruby]: Yes, yes, yes!

You scored a--

[players gasp] Whoa...

[slapping palms]

[blows whistle]

[slaps palm]

Awesome teamwork,everyone.

Great passing.

And that last kickshould have been a goal.

I was having fun.

You sure were, Max,

and that wasa super great catch,

but like I said,

in soccer,

only goalkeepersuse their... [gasps]

Oh, Max!

I know exactly howyou can help the team.

[blows whistle]

Ready, kickers?

[everyone]: Ready.

Ready, goalkeeper?
