-Good thing we have some help.

-Yeah! Pull boy, pull.

Keep going boy, comeon, we're almost there.

You're doing great.

Just a little further.

We are almost there.

Yes.

Hi there! Have you seen Zoboo?

-Zoboo is not goingto believe his mind when

he finds outwhat's in this wagon.

-Let's call him.

Zoboo!

Zoboomafoo!

Zoboo!

Hey Zoboo.

-He's here.

-Hey Zoboo!

Do you have anyidea what's in that wagon?

I don't think he knows.

But we'll neverknow if he knows or notuntil we give him a snack.

-I got it.

Celery.

Zoboo how about celery.

Hey! Here have this one.

Chris do you want a piece?

-Yeah Thanks. Thiscelery is pretty good.

-Excuse me.

Zoboomafoo!

Hello!

Did you see that?

I can't believe my mind.

What's in the wagon?

Maybe the little dogknows, cause he helped pull it.

Hey little dog,can you talk to me?

What's in the wagon?

Yeah that wagonthat you were pulling.

The one right therebehind you, Buddy dog.

That tickles!

He's tickling my tail butI don't know what he's saying.

I can't understandwhat he's talking about.

-He's not telling you, huh?

Well, you are just gonnahave to figure it out somehow.

Thanks for the muscle buddy.

-Hey, can somebody pleasetell me what's in the wagon?

Can somebody please talk to me?

Do you know who that is?

I do.

He's telling meby that sound he's making.

And we were talkingin the forest this morning.

Do you know you?

Who could it be?

♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

He had a big greybody and four thick legs.

♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.

And he had a really longnose that made lots of sounds.

It was talking to me.

♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

A long nosed, talking creature.

Do you know who he is?

-Well, every creaturecan talk in his or her own way.

-But there is only onecreature who talks like that.

-An elephant.

-Toothbrush!

-So good to see you again.

-Yeah! How have you been?

-Mangatsika! Themystery animal is here.

-It's Toothbrush! Didyou know it was Toothbrush?

Yeah, Toothbrush!

Maybe he knowswhat's in the wagon.

Well, he's really smart.

-And so much more.

I love elephant tails.

Look at these longblack wiry bristles.

And they are ina line. Look at that tail.

-Amazing! Now comeon over to the other end.

Have you ever lookedright into an elephant's eye?

You can see that thesecreatures have feelings.

And they communicatetheir feelings and

tell each otherthings in a lot of ways.

One way is byusing their long trunks.

Elephants touch eachother with those trunks

to tell one anotherthat they are there andthat everything is okay.

And these two areusing their trunks to telleach other, "hey let's play!"

-I can't believe my mind.

Hey brothers, why are you makingthe same sounds as Toothbrush?

-That's how elephantscall each other over.

Elephants are alwaystalking to each other because

they live in groups or herds andhave to communicate to survive.

-Oh! So they talkso they can stay together.

-Yeah! That's one reason Zoboo.

-Come here, come here, brotherslet's see what's in the wagon.

My mind keeps askingme, "what's in the wagon?"

-All right, timeto unload, let's go.

-Okay, one.

two, three, HEAVE!

We need help from a creature whoknows how to move heavy things.

A creature so strong,he can even knock down trees

or a support post.

Whoa!

-Whoa! Hey! Toothbrush, don'tknock down Animal Junction.

Come tip the wagon okay.

-Over here Toothbrush.

-Come on, yeahwe need your help.

-Yeah, use that trunkand give us that elephant power.

I think he's got theidea, but Zoboo stay clear.

The stuff is gonnafall out the other side.

-I'm finally gonnafind out what's in the wagon.

I can't wait to see.

-Where is Zoboo?

-Zoboo?

-What is all this stuff?

-Letters.

-Huh?

Letters?

-Letters Zoboo.

Letters like in letters fromthe people who see us on TV.

These lettersare messages from people whowant to tell us something.

-Oh really? Well,what do they say?

-Well, this one, Zoboo,is from Danielle and it says,

"dear Kratt brothers, I reallylike your show with Zoboomafoo.

I know the words toall the songs on the show and

Ilike when Zoboo pushes the foodbuttons and food comes out".

-Oh me too. Especiallywhen the food's for me.

Whoa!

-"I also like it when youguys go to the closet and things

fall on top of you and whenyou swing and fall in the mud.

Can you do that some more?"

-Oh sure we can.

She likes it, comeon let's do it for her.

-All right.

-There they go.

They are gonna do it Danielle.

-They're talking my language.

-That reminds me of when Cysent us a message in Zobooland.

I was leaping along,

leap, leap, leap...

when I hearda voice from up above.

-Talk to me. Talk to me.

-Hey, did you guys hear that?

And why are you hiding?

-I gotta go, I'm outta here.

-Wait for me.

-Oh no, oh no!

-What's thematter with everybody?

And where didthat voice come from?

-I only wantedsomeone to talk to me.

I want to talk and play.

Do you want to play with me?

-I told him we alllike to talk and play and

I threw him a goobleberry.

This is a fun game!

-And we played and talkedto our new friend Cy all day.

The end.

I want to talk to more letters.

Let's do another one.

I'm going to getone this time and open it.

Oh!

This one.

It's not talking to me.

-That's just cause youhaven't learned how to read yet.

You see, readingand writing is a specialway that humans communicate.

Andthe animals make special soundsto communicate with each other.

And creaturesof the same species understandthe sounds each other makes.

Creatures talk to each other.

Otters chirp, butonly humans write letters.

-I can't believemy mind, so letters cantalk to you, mangatsika!

-Yeah!A lot of times humans talklike we are doing right now,

but sometimes humanstalk by reading and writing.

-Well, well,read this one to me.

-Okay,

let's see.

-Whoa, look at this one!

-Whoa, beautiful!

-It says, "dear Zoboomafoo,hi my name is Gabrielle."

-Hi Gabrielle.

-"I am five. I likeyour friend Toothbrush."

-Hear that Toothbrush?

-"Chris and Martin,are you really brothers?"

-Yeah, we're brothers.

-"Love Gabrielle.Please write back"

-What does thatmean, "please write back?"

-It means Gabriellewants us to write oneof these and send it to her.

-Well let's doit, let's write one.

-Alright!

-Hey wait for me.

-All right, so wehave everything we need.

-Ready.

-All right then grabsomething, anything you

want to write with,grab it and let's get started.

-A marker.

-Zoboo, notwith your mouth Zoboo.

You use your hands.

Grabit with your hands just likethat, and you are ready to go.

-"Dear Gabrielle..."

-Hey Chris, I think wehave to teach him the letters.

-Zoboo, Zoboo, Zoboo!

-Yeah, what?

-Now what you do is withthe marker you make the letters

and put them in order tomake the words you want to say.

G-A-B-R-I-E-L-L-E.

-G-A-B, gab, E-L-L,

How come so many L's?

-That's the way it'sspelled Zoboo, Gabrielle.

There!

-Well that's fun.

So I just talkedto Gabrielle by doing this.

-Exactly Zob,you are off to a great startbut we're not finished yet.

-Oh, look who's here.

Brainiac!

I gotta go talk to her.

Hey Brainiac, you know what,

I'm learning howto write. It's really fun.

It really is.

Pretty funny, huh!

Yeah!

I love you too.

You want to play?

-Chimps have manydifferent ways of talking

and they can say a lot just withthe way they use their faces.

Watch her face,

really closely.

-I can't believe my mind!

-Okay Zoboo, Chrisand I added some stuff.

-Oh what did you say?

-We said, "yeswe are really brothers."

And you makereally great pictures.

-Hey!

I want to do apicture for our letter.

-All right Zoboo,so just grab the paints.

-and the paintbrushes.

-and go for it.

-There I'm gonna drawa picture of me and, ah,

well me.

Here goes.

Okay, I'll startwith my head, yeah,

here we go, me with my tail,

my tail went off the page.

Then I'll drawmy ears and my body...

Ha-ha,I did my very first picturefor my very first letter.

-And you did a reallygood job on your face too Zoboo.

-I did?

-Oh yeah!

It's towel time.

-Towel time?

Okay, now what?

Hey the wolf pups are here.

Do you pups want to talk?

Wait up, I want to talk to you.

-You got it Zoboo,wolves talk in their own waytoo, and not just by howling.

You see, a lotof different creatures,

including wolves,leave their scent behind.

That's becausesmell is an important wayfor wolves to communicate.

A scent left behindcan tell a wolf, hey

someone was hereand not that long ago.

The scent tells a wolfwho the other wolf that peed was

and all sorts of other things.

-Hey, what doyou smell down there?

Oops! My tail.

Are you tellingme you want to play?

I think wolf pupis telling me he likes me.

-I think you're right Zoboo.

-Brothers, I'm readyto go back to the letters now.

-Okay Zoboo, let'sfinish off this letter.

-Okay, what do I do?

-Well, now we have to sign it.

-Sign it?

-Yeah I'll go first.

-What are you doing?

Oh, it's your name!

-Yeah! And now I sign my name.

-Oh, okay.

Well, what do I do?

I don't knowhow to sign my name.

-Well first putyour hand in the ink.

-Oh okay, hand in the ink.

-And now slap yourhand down on the letter.

-Oh, okay.

-That's your signature!

-Hey Lost&Found, I did it.

I signed my first letter.

See, look, huh?

Hey Lost&Found signed it too.

I get it, Lost&Found didsign it, just like the wolf did.

This is a dog's way of talking.

Yup, that'sLost&Found all right.

-You're right Zoboo.

Peeing andpooping is a way that so manycreatures talk to each other.

-Me too, I cantalk like that too.

Let's see where I'm gonna talk.

Where to talk?

Ah-ha!

The perfect place.

-So now we take the letter.

-and the picture.

and put it in the envelope.

-Well that's easy.

-And now, I justlick the envelope.

I mean, Martinlicks the envelope!

-All right,

oh! I mean, Zoboolicks the envelope!

-Oh, well okay,where do I lick it?

-Right there.

-Okay.

Yuck, that wasnot yummy, that was blah!

-That was the worstpart, but you did it.

-Yeah, I did it,I wrote my first letter.

High five!

-Alright!

-High five!

-Alright!

Hey "Lost & Found" too!

Yeah!

Yeah!

-Know what?

Writing letters likepeople do is a fun way to talk.

-You know what he's saying?

Time to play ball.

And you know, everyanimal has their favouritegame, even an elephant.

He likes to kick a basketball.

-And an elephanthas an advantage over us,

she can kick withfour legs, not only two.

-I'm on Toothbrush'steam, let's play!

-All right Toothbrush,let's see what you got.

Whoa! He's good.

So, um, how do we getthis letter to Gabrielle?

-Well, we could use mail,express mail, hand delivery or-

crow.

-He took off with the letter.

-He has something!

-Let's take a look at thismessage from the Animal Helpers.

-Hi guys, Hi Zoboo,

my name is Garrettand this is my friend Zed.

Sometimes, Zed wakesme up in the morning.

Come on.

We like to run around a lot.

Sometimes wejust relax together.

Sometimes we liketo watch TV together.

Zed, your my best friend.

-That makes me wantto check out more creatures.

-My mind smells a trip.

-To the closet!

♪They're going to the closetThey're going on a trip

♪They're going to the closetTo grab their stuff and split

-Whoa!

-And you never want to be caughtwithout your walkie-talkies.

♪They're coming from the closetAnd they're headed out the door.

-Bye!

-Bye brothers! Havefun talking to animals.

Oh, and now that Iknow how to write letters,

I'm gonna keep on writing themand soon I'm gonna get to yours.

-Nothing's better thanmountain biking in India!

-And there must be some talkingcreatures around here someplace.

-We just have to find out, whoa,

-Uh-oh! There goes Chris.

Chris, your brakes!

-I don't have any!

-Oh boy, that'spretty steep. Hang on!

-Whoa!

Wahoo!

What a ride!

Hey, but I don'thave any idea where I am.

I'm lost.

Ha, but look at that,a herd of chital deer.

Chital deerare the most common type ofdeer in this part of India,

but where is Martin?

A lot of chitals but no Martin.

Hey there's a langurmonkey, but still no Martin.

Where are you?

Where is he?

I got to keep my eyespeeled and my ears open.

Chitals canhear everything so if anybodyknows where Martin is, they do.

Let's see ifthe chitals can find him.

-I know how to make contact,

walkie-talkies!

Chris, come in Chris, over.

Chris do you read? Over.

Where are you Chris? Over.

Chris where areyou, where are you? Over.

Nothing.

Chris do you read? Over.

-Huh?

Martin's in the backpack?

Of course, the walkie-talkies!

Martin are you there? Over.

-Chris, this is Martinhere, where are you? Over.

-I'm here at the edge of themeadow with a herd of chital,

and something ismaking them really edgy.

-It could be a tiger.

-It is a tiger!

But you really don't want to beon foot around a hungry tiger.

Martin you betterget me out of here!

-I'd love to Chris, butI don't know where you are,

can you give me asignal or something? Over.

-Good idea bro.

How about a kite?

All right, thewind's picking up.

Fly like a vulture.

-Chris, I've got you spotted.

-Hurry up, because somebodyelse has me spotted too!

-I'm coming down,hang in there brother!

-Martin you betterget me out of here.

I think he hasme mistaken for a chital.

-Well then hop in.

What a tiger!

-Yeah, he's amazing.

Did you knowthat a tiger catches one mealfor every ten times he tries?

-Yeah!

Here's to creaturecommunication.

-Back to Animal Junction.

Hey you think Zoboo is stilltrying to answer all that mail?

-Maybe.

How many letters doyou think he's gotten to?

-He's a fast learner, who knows?

-Zoboo has everybodyhelping out.

And what a mess!

Well Zoboo, youare giving it a great try.

-Yeah, but maybe elephantsshould stick to trumpeting and

rumbling and talkingwith the touch of their trunks.

Right Toothbrush?

Alright!

-Well, we still havea lot of letters to answer.

Want to help Fling?

Yeah, that's howyou do it Fling, you ripthem open just like that.

Yeah! Good job boy.

Try that one,

there you go,

rip that one open too.

Yeah, you reallyknow how to open letters.

Oh! So you want to help too?

Well we have a lot of letters,we need all the help we can get.

Wait, we needto answer these letters!

-Know what? I guess lettersaren't what animals do best.

-You got that right Zoboo.

And macaws should beripping into clay on clay banks

and telling otherflock members to find theirown spot on the clay bank.

And maybe white-frontedcapuchins should be with

their troops makingthe sounds, body postures and

facial expressions thatmake up the monkey language.

Alright!

-And what aboutleaping lemurs, like me?

-You are off toa great start Zoboomafoo,

but you still have a lotto learn about letter writing.

-I know.

It's like howI had to learn how to talkto my friends in Zobooland.

I was leaping along,

leap, leap, leap...

when I bumpedinto Wiggy Waxwing.

-Oh no, oh no,what am I going to do?

-You know there'ssomething wrong with Wiggy whenshe's running back and forth.

-What am I going todo, what am I going to do?

Talk to me,talk to me talk to me.

-What's the matterWiggy? I said. Talk to me.

-I'm wigging out! I can'tremember my Wiggy Waxwing song

so I can tell everybodyit was a really great day!

-Well, that's too bad Wiggy.

Everybody hasto have a song to sing.

Gooble has hisgoobleberry song to telleverybody when he's hungry.

♪Hungry, hungry,I'm always hungry.

-And Narchi, Narchihas his trumpet songto announce his arrival.

Suddenly, I remembered Wiggy'ssong and whispered it to her.

-Oh thank you Zoboo!

-Wiggy started singingand was so happy that

she had her song back,she sang and sang and sang.

-La, la, la, la...

-Andeverybody knew it was a really,really great day.The end.

-It's just a goodthing we have so many

letters for you tolearn how to write with.

-Yeah!

It's great that so many kidswrote us such great letters.

-It sure is.Thanks a lot everybody.

-Yeah, thanks a lot everybody.

You're my letter-writing,animal friends.

-Great idea.

-We'll see you next time.

-Hi! My name isJacqueline, and these aremy fish, Goldy and Sarah.

Hi, we're the Kratt brothers,

every creatureadventurer knows you have tobe careful around animals.

-Because sometimes an animalcan get a little scared of you

and then she might thinkshe has to defend herself.

-That's why you shouldonly go near an animal whenan adult says, "It's okay."

Right Zoboo?

AND NOW A JOKEFROM ZOBOOMAFOO...

DID YOU KNOW THATA HIPPO CAN OPEN HERMOUTH THREE FEET WIDE!

NOW THAT'S BIG!

AND A HIPPO CAN STAYUNDERWATER FOR FIVE MINUTES.

A HIPPO EVEN SLEEPS UNDER WATER.

WHEN IT'S TIME TO BREATHE,

SHE JUST COMESUP, TAKES A BIGBREATH OF AIR...

AND SINKS RIGHT BACK DOWN AGAIN.

- HEY, CHRIS?

- YEAH ZOB?

- UM, HOW DO YOU TELLTHE DIFFERENCE BETWEENA HIPPO AND AN ANT?

- I DON'T KNOW ZOB, HOW?

- ANTS ARE EASIERTO PICK UP!

RIGHT SLURPY?

- WHAT DO YOU THINKHE'S LOOKING FOR ZOBOO?

- ANTS...

AND MAYBE UNCLES!

THAT WAS A JOKE!- GOOD ONE ZOB!

- YOU KNOW,AUNTS AND UNCLES.
