what about when we're bigger?

I'm not sure what you mean.

Do we change into orangutans;

do we get superpowers;

can we guess the weight

of a bunch of bananas

just by looking at them?

And why would you care to do that?

It would impress my sister.

I see.

So, what happens to us monkeys

when we get older on our birthday?

I don't feel different yet.

Well, clearly they go a bit crazy.

Madge, it's my birthday

and I want to do something special.

I told you, growing up

doesn't happen all at once.

Please try to calm down.

Calm down?

But I'm a monkey

and I'm a whole year older.

I want to do something

no one in the world tree has ever done before,

like travel completely around the tree.

Hm. Now let me see.

Oh, I remember someone did that,

yes or was it hundred years ago...

Ah, here it Is.

Once there was this little brave ant...

Oh never mind.

Oh, I know,

I'll go from the bottom of the tree,

all the way to the top

and I'll do it on my birthday!

Come on Madge, come with me.

Oh my Winslow, my dear

and do you see this incredibly hard and heavy shell?

Us turtles are not tree climbers...

Anyway, there's your party dear...

But I want a birthday adventure.

Well, well...

Be careful, and Winslow...

Oh my.

I just have to figure out

something to make for Winslow.

Why hello Snook, Smooch.

Hey Madge,

have you seen Winslow?

My dear, he's all I've seen.

But now he's off on some birthday adventure.

Without me?

And we've been trying to figure out

what to make him for his birthday.

How about a leash! That monkey...

Hey, Icky boy,

guess who's birthday it Is?

Oh, don't make me guess again.

Oh come on.

I can't.You can.

I can't. You can.

Okay, okay.

It's your birthday,

and I for one can't wait until it's over.

Well, I'm gonna explore the tree,

from bottom to top.

What a crazy monkey.

Once you've the water hole,

what else is there to see?

Climbing is way cooler than swimming.

Hey, don't make me come out of the water

and teach you a lesson.

That's a great idea! Come with me Ick.

It'll be way fun.

No, no, I don't think so.

Air doesn't agree with me.

Go have your fun, but be careful.

Okay.

Oh, and uh,

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but happy birthday, crazy monkey.

Yeah, thanks Ick.

Hey Bobby boy,

guess what?

Um, I know...

it's your birthday.

Hey, hey, you've got it!

And guess what I'm doing?

Having a party and cake?

Are you inviting lots of...

[Gulp]

Ants? Ants like cake.

No, I'm going to the top of the tree.

Oh, that's nice.

And you're coming with me.

It's a birthday adventure.

Uh, uh, I don't think so.

Are you kidding?

You'll have a great time...

Ant eater, marmosets,

bonding together.

Um, no, definitely not.

The answer is no.

Oh, all right.

You don't know what you're missing.

Well, uh, happy birthday.

I sure hope that Winslow likes my present.

Winslow's gonna love this.

What a great idea you had.

Well, it's not a leash,

but he's gonna love this vine.

Hey guys, guess what?

Oh, oh no.

Hide it, hide it.

Oh, hi Winslow.

What are you doing here?

I'm on my way up.

I'm going further and higher

than any monkey has ever gone before...

On my birthday.

Want to go?

Yeah... I ...

Ah, Smooch,

don't you have to help wrap...

I mean, clean up.

Clean up?

Oh, yeah...

Afraidy cat.

Hey Winslow don't go too far.

This is such a big tree there are places in it

that I don't even know about.

And some of them aren't as safe as...

All right, all right.

I'm gonna have fun on my birthday!

See ya Smooch.

Have fun cleaning up.

Be careful Winslow.

Hey Burdette,

what you doing?

Hello birthday boy.

Hey, want to come with me

on my birthday adventure

to the top of the tree?

Well, you know the top branches

break pretty easily, besides,

I fly up there all the time...

Don't rub it in.

I'll be careful.

I'm not a little monkey anymore you know.

See you later.

Okay, happy birthday...

But be careful.

Oh, be careful...

Is that all anyone says?

Wow...

This place is cool.

[Cracking noises]

that was actually kind of...

[Cracking noises]

oh I can't wait for the party...

The cake and all.

Gee, I wonder where Winslow could be.

Have any of you guys seen him?

I told that crazy monkey

he was going to get himself stuck up there somewhere.

You can't really go all the way to the top of the tree.

What? Oh, I hope he's not lost somewhere.

Or scared...

Poor Winslow.

Did you ever wish you had listened to everyone

when they said 'be careful'?

Oh, I hope he didn't go too far.

I thought he understood it might be dangerous.

You know, I told him that the smart thing to do...

Winslow? Winslow?

Hey... I know, they're going to tell me,

I'm too little...

I don't want to be rescued.

Oh, I've never been this far up before,

and I see why.

It's so far.

Look! He's over there!

It's okay,

I don't need any help.

But Winslow,

you're the best.

Huh? What are you talking about?

You've gotten further up in the tree

than any marmoset ever!

Whoa, what a birthday accomplishment.

And it's a good thing you stopped.

I was gonna go way further, but ...

You guys are Nice...

I got stuck.

I was afraid.

I should have listened.

Well, it was smart to stop when you did.

But Snook,

how am I gonna get down now?

Well, you know Winslow,

we've got something for you.

A birthday present,

that might actually help.

Really?

Wow! What a great vine.

Gotcha!

Aw, Smooch!

Oh Winslow,

I was worried about you.

I'm sorry.

I guess I kind of ruined my birthday...

[Laughter]

you can't ruin a birthday,

not in the world tree.

Birthdays are great.

Come on.

You too.

Yeah!!

[Sounds of playing/laughter]

[Sounds of playing/laughter]

missed me!

Oh, didn't I get you?

You'll never catch me on the hiding branch.

Give it up.

I know this branch as well as you do.

Ha, na, na, na, na, na...

Oops yike!

Gotcha! You're it!

Hey, no tag backs.

Catch me if you can!

Are you sure you're not it?

No Bob, I'm not it.

Not yet anyway.

You're not trying to trIck me, are you?

No Bob

sloths aren't very trIcky,

we're too slow to be trIcky

you know, I love tag.

Everyone loves tag.

Don't you?

Hey Snook,

wouldn't it be great if there was one big,

big tag game all over the world

that everyone played in?

Oh, that's a great idea Bob.

Yeah...

But Snook...

One thing...

Yeah Bob?

You're not fooling me about being it...

I don't want to be it...

I always end up being it...

You're not it are you?

No way.

I told you Bob,

sloths are way too slow to fool anyone.

Watch out Bob, Winslow's it.

Ha, ha, you're it Bob.

Oh no.

I knew I'd be it.

Where are they?

I love playing tag.

I always win.

No one ever tags me.

They can't reach me.

I'm not it...

Can't catch me.

Hey monkeys, are you it?

Not us, it's Bob.

Oh, Bob's it again huh...

Poor guy he's such a bad sport about being it.

Winslow, over here...

Who's it?

Bob!

Again?

Oh here he comes...

Watch out.

No problem, this fish has the perfect hiding spot.

What?

I'm gonna get you.

Oh, I missed!

Okay everybody, it's me Bob,

and I'm it as always.

I guess I'll give up.

[Struggle]

oh no.

[Struggle]

I can't believe this.

Uh, Ick?

No, no, no.

Tag.

I think you're it.

What? No!

That wasn't fair.

I couldn't get into my hiding spot.

I tagged Ick.

I tagged Ick!

Yea!

He's never been it.

Wow! I must be getting better at tag.

I don't understand,

I couldn't fit,

the tree got smaller.

Or Ick, maybe you got bigger.

Bigger?

Why would I get bigger?

I'm perfect.

Maybe you've just grown.

What? Grown?

No big deal Ick,

everyone grows.

But don't you see,

I'll be it forever.

I can't get out of this water hole.

Oh it's so, so unfair.

[Crying]

[Cracking noises]

come everybody, quIck here.

Everyone okay?

That was too close.

Scary.

Well I'm just fine.

Every feather in place, thanks for asking.

We're okay.

Hey, that was our branch.

Our hiding branch.

It was up there, and now it's down here?

How could that be?

Oh, you're right,

that is your branch.

Let's check it out.

It's not there.

That was our branch.

Hey guys...

Yikes, not only is the branch gone...

Now we're doing the bug dance.

Loved that branch.

Oh, the bugs are getting me too.

I guess things are always changing in the tree.

These bugs are bugging me.

I'm out of here.

Me too.

Guys, it's...

Oh, why did I have to get bigger now,

just as we were playing tag?

Couldn't it have happened after the game was over?

Hey, Snook, Ick's still it.

I'm getting better at tag.

Yes, I'm still it and I will be it forever.

Oh, my world is over.

Oh Ick,

you probably have been getting bigger for a while.

You just noticed it, that's all.

It's actually a good thing,

like that branch.

But that fell all of a sudden.

I know it seems that way,

but that branch was weakening for some time before it fell.

Really?

You know...

Okay, here's how it Is.

Something's happen slowly,

but we only realize the change happened all at once.

Oh, you mean I was getting better

at tag all this time

and I didn't know it.

I'm no branch,

and I never seemed too big before.

Look at me now.

[Crying]

please don't cry Ick.

You're making me so sad.

[Crying]

oh my, if this keeps up

you'll be too big for the water hole.

You're right.

I'll never see my friends again.

[Crying]

whoa, whoa, guys.

It's not so bad.

Things are always changing.

Sometimes it just takes a while

to figure out what's good about the change.

[Crying]

our branch.

The branch we know and loved is gone.

Gone, and now there are

only itchy bugs everywhere.

Bugs? What kind of bugs did you say they were?

Why can't everything just stay the same?

What is the world coming to?

[Crying]

guys, okay, we were playing tag

and it was kind of fun

and a few things happened...

[Crying]

I wonder what kind of bugs are out there?

Too bad about the branch.

The monkeys liked it so much.

Look at the sun.

That wasn't here before.

I thought things weren't supposed to happen like that...

Things falling apart.

Isn't that bad?

No Bob, have you noticed

when things change, new stuff happens.

Like we're seeing the sun here and the bugs.

If only Smooch and Winslow

still had their branch to play on.

Why didn't I think of that?

You know maybe they still can.

Hey Snook, look at me.

Look at far out in the water hole I am.

Oh great.

Gee, I wish it was closer to the shore.

Ick, give it a push.

Me? Give it a push?

Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure.

Oh, great Ick, that's perfect.

[Laughing]

okay sloth,

what's so funny?

Nothing Ick.

I just never saw you move a whole big branch before.

Yeah, well, that's because I couldn't...

I... Wait a second...

Stop the waterfall.

I moved a branch!

I must not just be getting bigger,

I'm stronger!

Hey, this is cool.

But Ick,

I guess you still can't fit in your old spot.

No problemo!

I'm stronger.

Watch out for Ick.

I'm the strongest fish in the water hole.

I'm the only fish in the water hole.

Wow, so many changes.

Some things don't change.

Really?

We're all still friends, right?

Yeah.

Aww hey, you're back.

Thanks for visiting us

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!

One of the coolest animals I know

is my friend Bob, the anteater.

Anteater's are great.

Did you know they sleep

as much as hours every day.

I mean I love to nap myself,

but that's a lot of sleep.

Oh, and they have a great sense of smell.

Mm...

I wand what smells Bob like's best.

Next time you see him,

ask him for me, okay?

Smooch and Winslow

are very amazing animals.

They're marmosets.

A marmoset is a kind of monkey.

Hey, you know that marmosets

like to live with other members of their family,

like their brothers and sisters.

No wonder Smooch andWinslow

have so much fun sharing a house,

except when Winslow

leaves his stuff on the floor, of course.
