Hmm... Ooh...

[ mutters softly]

Oh, no.

It must be really, really big.

With three toes, and I bet it has big paws, and, uh...

Hey, Bob. What are you doing?

Uh, following animal tracks, Wartz.

B-b-big, big footprints.

Really?

Can I follow them, too?

Are they big ant footprints, Bob?

Huh... oh, my.

I sure hope not, Wartz.

Why not? You love ants, Bob.

S-small ants.

Teeny tiny...

[ gulps]

...ants.

The really, really little ones, not big, giant ones.

Uh, no. Not those.

[ gasps softly]

Oh, my!

Look! There's another track.

Mmm!

How do you know it's a really big animal, Bob?

Uh, look how big its feet are.

Yeah.

What does that mean, Bob?

Well, it must be really, really big,

uh, with feet like that.

Really? So, if we keep following these tracks,

eventually we'll run into... uh...

this giant, really big creature?

[ both trembling and shuddering]

Um, uh... yes.

Uh, Bob?

I don't think we should be following

this big animal anymore.

Gee,

m-maybe you're right.

Uh, uh, but wait a second.

What is it, Bob?

I think maybe these footprints

are headed to anthillock.

[ gasps]

I wonder if this creature is after the, uh, [ gulps] ants?

It's okay, Bob.

I think the ants can take care of themselves.

Maybe we should just go home.

Oh, look.

There's an ant.

Maybe he knows.

[ humming softly]

Um, hello, uh, Ant.

Have you seen a new animal in the forest?

A, um... really big animal?

Please say no. Please say no.

Please say no!

BOB:No?

Oh! Thank goodness.

Um, has anyone been by here

since I came by this morning?

No?

So th-that's a relief, huh, Bob?

Uh, it sure is, Wartz,

but I think there's something weird going on here.

[ sniffs]

Um...

[ continues sniffing]

What, Bob? What?

L-l-look!

There's another set of footprints coming this way!

Um... Bob?

Do you think... maybe...

your big animal... is following us?!

[ both gasp]

Mm-mm!

What a beautiful day. Hmm!

Ho-ho! Well, hey, there!

You're looking good today.

I'm getting ready to have these new berries Burdette found.

I'm having them for breakfast.

BOTH: Snook! Snook!

Whoa, hey, there, Wartz, Bob.

Hey, have you come to share some berries with me?

Hey, uh... are there bugs inside?

I'll eat anything with a bug inside.

Well...

Uh, I don't know.

I kind of hope not, for my sake.

You don't like bugs in your berries, do you?

Hmm! Neither do I.

Well, I do.

Oh, my!

[ stammering nervously]

So what brings you two up here to see me?

Something, uh... b-big.

Uh, very big.

We're here, Snook, because Bob found footprints

and we don't know what made them

and we think it's following us.

Oh, some kind of animal's following you, huh?

Y-yeah!

We haven't seen it yet, Snook,

but its footprints are so wide apart

it has to be really big.

What does the footprint look like?

Oh, here's a picture I drew in my notebook.

Hmm.

Interesting, Bob.

That's not an animal track I've ever seen.

Let's go take a look.

Hmm.

It's a three-toed animal

and the footprints are kind of wide apart.

What if it's an elephant?

Ooh!

I'd love to meet an elephant.

Oh, not me.

They're way too big.

Well, let's go see Madge.

She might recognize this footprint.

Well, you guys go ahead.

I'm going to go up somewhere high in the tree

where elephants can't get me.

We'll see you later.

MADGE: Hmm. Yes.

Um, well, um... yes!

Yes, oh, yes.

I'm absolutely certain.

I have no idea what animal made this footprint.

Hmm. It is a really unusual footprint.

Oh. I wonder what kind of creature it could be.

Well, tracks or footprints can be made

by every living creature, no matter how big or small.

Yep. The bigger you are, the deeper the track.

Yes. Let's take a look at some footprints to compare.

Um... hmm, yes.

Now, here is an example

of a monkey footprint.

Wow! That looks just like Smooch's or Winslow's foot...

or hand, really.

[ chuckling]: Yep.

Monkeys can walk on two feet or on all four.

MADGE:And here is a frog footprint.

That's just like Wartz's.

Yes, and this is a very curious creature:

a human being.

BOB:Wow.

Look at that footprint.

Yeah, human beings are very cool animals.

Right?

All you human beings out there make some very cool footprints,

even when you wear shoes.

[ Bob groans]

But none of these footprints match the one I found.

Well, I think the only thing you can do, my anteater friend,

is go back to where you found the tracks

and observe again.

Oh, okay.

Um, Snook, will you come along with me?

Oh, sure, Bob.

Well, uh,

it will be, uh, really interesting

to see, um, what kind of creature this really is.

Don't you think, uh...

Snook? [ snoring]

Snook?

[ continues snoring]

Oh, my!

Uh, well, I'm sure he'll wake up if anyone comes.

[ bushes rustling][ frightened whimper]

[ gasps]:Oh...

What was th-th-th-that?

Something's coming!

Hmm?

[ gasps]: Oh, no!

Another footprint!

It must be around here somewhere watching me.

Bob![ screams]

Oko!

[ relieved sigh]: You scared me.

[ laughs]

I think, my anteater friend,

I think you may have been scared already,

before Oko come.

Well, no.

I mean... yes.

Uh, I found a new animal footprint in the forest,

and it's been following me, and now it's here somewhere,

uh, and I am afraid.

Ah, that is okay, little one.

But I have been watching you come back and forth here,

and I must say, this creature you seek

is just as worried about meeting you as you are of meeting it.

It is?

How do you know that, Oko?

Walk to me, little one.

Then Oko will explain.

Hmm.

[ humming quietly]

Good!

Now look behind you.

[ gasps]: Oh, no!

More three-toed footprint tracks!

So, follow the tracks to your feet.

Can you see who the creature is now?

What?

Me?

Um, but I don't understand.

[ laughs]

Look at your feet, little one! Hmm?

[ gasps]

They were mytracks?

Yes!

Leaf stuck to Bob's foot make footprint in the mud

as you walk. [ chuckles]

So... there is no new animal?

It was me all the time?

Yes, little one.

[ chuckles]

Oh, uh... my mistake.

[ weak chuckle]

I feel kind of, um, silly.

Oh, that's okay, Bob.

Now you know lots more about footprints

and how they are made than you did before.

Sometimes we learn just as much from mistakes

as we do from getting things right.

Yeah, Oko, I guess you're right.

Right or wrong, we always learn.

Ah, hey.

How you doing?

You know, I was hoping to run into you.

I was ying to figure out what to do today.

WINSLOW: Is.

SMOOCH: Is not.

Is.

Winslow, that's just not the shortest path.

Is to.

Ick's water hole, Madge's place,

Bob's hole, Burdette's nest and you're there.

But everyone knows if you go through the berry patch,

and then up to our Monkey Hut, it's shorter.

Hey, guys.

What's up?

I think... Oh, hey, Snook.

Winslow just doesn't see that I am right

that the shortest path

from Ick's water hole to your tree house

is past the berry patch

and then to the butterfly branch!

No!

It's much faster to go by Madge's house and Bob's hole.

Has to be.

Is not.

Is, too.

Is not!

Is, too!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on there, guys.

Well, well, then you tell us--

what is the shortest path, hmm?

Hmm, I've never thought about the shortest path, Winslow.

Actually, we sloths like to take our time getting anywhere.

Take in the view, stop to grab a bite to eat,

take a nap, take in the view again...

Uh, Snook, so you don't know?

What?

Oh, um,

no, actually, I don't.

But I do know how we can figure it out.

Yeah, race and see who gets there first?

Loser has to pick bananas all week.

All right, on your mark, get set...

Whoa, whoa,Winslow,

you don't have to race.

We could make a map.

Take a nap?

You always want to take a nap and I...

[ laughs]: No, no,

not a nap, Winslow,

although that's a good idea.

No, no, we could make a map.

A map? A map?

What's a map, Snook?

Well, a map is a special kind of drawing,

a kind of picture that shows us

exactly where places are around us.

Well, I say we just race.

Hang on, Winslow.

I want to know more about this map thing.

Well, if you could draw a map of the World Tree,

you'd be able to see the shortest path

from one place to another.

That's way cool, Snook.

Totally.

Well, I say we just race.

It's easier.

I'm waitin', sis.

On your mark, get set...

Last one there's a crazy monkey.

Go! [ laughs]

Hey, that's not fair, Winslow.

Oh. See you, Snook.

[ laughs]: Okay, Smooch.

See you, guys.

Well, you know what?

I think maybe I'll make a map anyway.

Have you ever made a map of your house or your backyard?

Well, I'm going to make a map of my whole neighborhood--

the World Tree.

Want to come along?

[ Winslow panting]

Hey, Snook.

Whoa, there you are, Winslow.

Oh, where's Smooch?

[ laughs]: Way, wayback there.

Eating my dust for the third time today.

I keep telling her my way to your tree house

is the shortest, but will she listen?

I'm guessing no.

[ Smooch panting]

You lose again.

Give up?

No way, Winslow.

I had to stop at the butterfly branch this time

to let the ants cross it.

Oh, well, don't worry guys.

We can soon figure this all out

because I'm working on a map.

Hey,

doesn't Madge have one of those map thingys

on the back of her shell?

Oh, yeah, Winslow,

but that's a map of the whole big, big world.

What we need is a map of a very small part of the world--

just our tree, the World Tree.

And we're going to draw it to fit this piece of paper.

Wow, you can put all that on just a piece of paper?

Impossible.

[ laughing]: Well, we draw it small

and make pictures for all the places we know,

and then we can measure the distance between my tree house

and Ick's water hole to find the shortest way.

Oh, oh, can we help?

Do you have pencils for us?

Ah, sure do, Smooch.

Okay, here you go.

And one for Winslow, too.

Hmm...

Okay, Winslow, you start by drawing an outline

of the whole World Tree.

Oh, okay. [ clears throat]

[ humming]

Ah!

Hey.

That's good,Winslow.

Oh! And what do I do, Snook?

Well, Smooch, how about you start drawing,

one by one, all the places in the World Tree we all know.

[ grunts]

Here's your house, Snook.

And Madge's house is way down here.

Oh, that's great. Keep going, guys.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

You know, maybe you can draw a map of your house

or backyard or neighborhd, too.

So how's it going, guys?

I think we're done.

Great, let's take a look.

Wow.

Okay, but, um, how do we know

which is the shortest route?

We need someone to measure it!

Oh, that's right, Smooch.

We need some help from someone

with a bird's-eye view of the whole World Tree.

ALL: Hmm...

Burdette!

[ humming]

Oh, well, hello, Snook, Smooch.

Hey, Burdette.

We were wondering if you'd help us with our map?

Help you take a nap?

Since when does a sloth need help napping.

I... uh...

No, he said "map," not "nap."

Am I the only one who can hear you, Snook?

Oh, right.

Check it out, Burdette.

We're creating a map of the World Tree.

Oh, a map of the World Tree.

What a wonderful idea.

I would love to help you with that.

You know, I am always happy to be helpful.

In fact, I am incredibly helpful at all times.

Burdette.

Okay, okay, of course, of course.

What would you like me to do?

Well, we were thinking that perhaps you could

fly around to all the places on our map

and count the number of times

you flap your wings between places.

That way we'll know

how many flaps apart they are from each other.

Oh, that's a very clever idea.

Well, this sounds like fun.

SNOOK:Yeah!

And we'll use the length of...

this small leaf

to represent one flap

when we put it on our map.

Okay, well, I'm off,

and I'll come back to your house, Snook,

to give you the results.

Tah-tah-tah.

See you there, Burdette.

Thanks, Burdette.

Five, six, seven...

Monkey hut, seven flaps.

That's seven flaps, Winslow,

from Snook's house to the Monkey Hut!

Okay, seven flaps from Snook's house to the Monkey hut.

Hmm.

Bob's house to Burdette's nest, nine flaps.

Okay, nine flaps from Bob's House to Burdette's nest.

Check.

Good flying, Burdette!Huh?

Berry patch to butterfly branch, flaps.

Wow!

[ panting]

The last one.

Butterfly branch to the monkey hut,

eight flaps.

Butterfly branch to the monkey hut,

eight flaps.

Oh, goodness, Snook.

I do hope that's my last flap.

I don't think I could lift another wing

to fly back to that tree.

Oh, you did a great job, Burdette.

We couldn't have done it without you.

Well, of course you couldn't.

But that's so often true.

Well, I'm off.

And this time, I'm the one that needs to take a nap.

And I don't mean map.

Tah-tah-tah.

See you, Burdette.

Thanks again.

Is it done yet?Are you finished?

Is it? Is it?

Come on, is it? You done?

Are you don? Is it done yet?Are you finished?

Is it? Is it?

Come on, is it? You done?

Are you done?One second, guys.

One second.

Okay... there!

MONKEYS: Wow! Look at that!

WINSLOW: Everything's there.

Your tree house,Snook.

Our monkey hut.

The butterfly branch.

The berry patch, Madge's house,

Ick's water hole.

And all with the right number of wing flaps in between.

Okay, okay, so who is right-- me or Winslow?

Oh, yeah, yeah, which is the shortest way

from Ick's water hole to Snook's tree house?

Well, now that the distances are right,

since we used Burdette's wing flaps as a measure, let's see.

So, we measure the distance with our leaf,

starting from Ick's water hole,

to Madge's house, Bob's house,

then Burdette's nest,

and then to my tree house...

it's... ...

wing flaps.

See, Winslow?

I told you it was the long way.

And if we start from Ick's to the berry patch

and then to the butterfly branch

and up to my tree house, it's...

, ...

Hey, .

MONKEYS: Oh, no! We're both right!

I hate it when that happens.

Me, too.

Now what are we gonna do?

Okay, okay, okay.

Let's race to see who knows the shortest path to Oko's.

You're on!

Last one there has their tail in a knot!

Uh, Smooch, Winslow!

But we have the map. We could just...

Oh, well.

I guess racing is a lot of fun, too!

Oh, hey.

There are so many cool animals in the big, big world,

and so many great facts to know about them.

One way to find out more is to read.

Go to your local library

and get a book about your favorite animal.

My friend Wartz is a red-eyed tree frog,

and they are really interesting animals.

Red-eyed tree frogs are so green

that when they're sitting on a leaf and they have

their big red eyes closed, well, you can hardly see them.

Pretty neat, huh?

When an animal can blend in

with its surroundings, that's called camouflage.

Hmm, camouflage sure would come in handy

in a game of hide-and-seek, don't you think?

My friend Bob is an anteater

and that's a very interesting kind of animal.

Did you know that newborn anteaters

ride around on their mom's back for up to a whole year?

Whoa! Now that's what I call one long piggyback ride.

Can you imagine riding on your mom's back for a whole year?

I wonder how she'’d feel about tha

Do you think you'’d like to get

a piggyback ride from an anteater?
