[ both panting]

I win! I win!

I can't believe it. I won!

[ panting ]

No way! Me!

I b*at you by a mile.

A frog can't b*at a monkey.

But I think I won really.

Hey, Ick, did you see us?

Yup, I saw you.

Yeah. Who won the jumping race?

Me, right, huh?

No, Winslow.

I have to say I think I did.

Oh, I'll tell you who won.

Hmm?

None of you!

You both lost.

Huh? Huh?

But why?

'Cause you're doing a jumping race.

It's the dumbest thing I ever heard of.

You should have a real race, uh, like a swimming race.

A swimming race would be good.

Uh, come on, hop in. I'll race ya.

But, Ick, we're having a jumping race,

not a swimming race.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What are you, a jumping bean?

Come on, do something fun for a change. Swim!

Ok, I know. If you don't want to swim,

let's see who can eat the most pond scum.

I love pond scum.

Ready, set...

Yuck! I don't want to eat any pond scum.

What is pond scum anyway?

[ mocking ]: I don't want to eat any pond scum.

What's the matter? Afraid of losing?

Hey, Wartz, let's try another jumping race.

Um...

Ooh, ooh. I'll race you over to that kapok tree.

Great. That sounds fun.

Ready, set...

Go! Go!

[ Wartz and Winslow grunting]

Wait. Come back.

The fun's here.

I'm having fun.

[ laughing]: Look at me!

♪ La, la, la, I'm having fun ♪

♪ La, la, la.

[ whoops]: Yeah!

I'm having... fun.

[ grunting and panting]

Uh, here I come!

Did I win?

Where is everybody?

Are they so far behind?

Oh. yeah, you won...

last place. Ha!

Where is everybody?

They went that way.

Years ago.

Oh.

Oh, hey-hey, Bob, uh, come on.

Want to see who can stay at the bottom of the pond the longest?

Come on. Ready, set...

Uh, the bottom of the pond?

Way down there?

Um, maybe later, Ick.

Wait for me!

I'm coming!

Hey, you're making a big mistake.

Come on.

Oh, never mind.

Ugh. I'm tired of getting left out

just because I'm stuck in this waterhole.

I've had it!

I've just had it.

I've made up my mind.

I'm leaving.

[ gasps ]

Uh, Ick, you're leaving the waterhole?

But, Ick, where are you going to live?

I don't know.

China. Maybe Paris.

The Left Bank.

Any place would be better than here.

But, Ick,

if you're tired of the pond, you could stay with me.

I can? Really?

I mean, well, uh, I'd-I'd have to think about it.

Or you could stay in my tree hole with me, Ick.

I'd be happy to have you around.

Uh, you could have the room near the pool table.

You have a pool table?

I don't know.

I'll-I'll think about it.

Depends on who makes me the best offer.

I'm listening.

You guys think about it.

I better go start packing.

Best offer?

What can you offer a fish?

I mean, as far as spacious living goes.

I don't know.

Oh! But I know where to find out!

[ laughs]

Hmm?

Hmm. To sleep or not to sleep.

That is the question.

Oh, hey.

I wonder, is it time to take a nap?

Snook! Snook!

[ grunting]

You got to help me, you got to, you got to.

Oh. Hey, Winslow.

What's the problem?

Well, I... um, I can't tell you.

Oh. You want help,

but you can't tell me the problem?

Yeah, that's right.Hmm.

Well, that makes it a little difficult for me to help you,

but it is interesting.

Well, I-I don't want anyone else to try to do my idea,

not even you.

Oh, I see.

Fair enough.

But I think we're at kind of a dead end.

Oh, oh.

Okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

See, um, hmm...

I'm thinking of getting, uh, a pet, a pet fish.

Sort of.

Wow. That sounds great!

But I need to know what fish like.

You know, so that I can make this particular fish happy,

which isn't easy, believe me.

Okay, well, different fish need different things.

Well, for instance, some fish live in the ocean,

so they prefer to live in salt water.

Other fish need fresh water for their habitat.

Oh.

Uh, which kind of fish is Ick?

I mean...

Ick? Ick is going to be your pet?

He doesn't seem to be the pet kind of fish.

What do you think?

Would you like Ick for a pet fish?

Well,

I made up the part about being a pet.

See, Ick's leaving the waterhole,

and I don't want him to go to Paris or China

or wherever that is.

I want him to come live with me and Smooch,

only how do I do that? I...

Whoa. Hold it. Rewind.

Ick is moving?

Yeah.

But if he moves in with me,

we can jump on the bed and play games.

Smooch and I can play Go Fish with an actual fish.

And I can teach him how to swing on vines, and we can go to...

Snook, help me!

Ick is going to move in with me.

What do I do?

Can I just move him to the room behind the pool table?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.

I thought Ick was moving in with Winslow.

What?

Oh, that's not fair, Winslow.

You already have a roommate.

Besides, Ick likes water, and I have a waterbed.

Well... What's a waterbed?

It's a bed with water inside.

Who thought of that crazy idea?

Uh, that's not important.

Um, what's important is making Ick happy.

What-what can I do, Snook?

I think he really wants to live with me.

I don't think so!

But, Bob, Ick can't sleep on a waterbed.

Yeah!

Plus, he'd be much happier

in the monkey hut with me and Smooch.

Guys, guys, Ick can't live with either of you.

He needs to live in the water.

Okay.

Ick can sleep inthe waterbed.

[ chuckling ]: I don't think

that'll work, either, Bob.

But why not, Snook?

Uh, you said he needs water to live.

Well, uh, let's see.

First of all, Ick doesn't sleep in a bed.

In fact, Ick doesn't ever close his eyes

because fish don't have eyelids.

Wow.

Animals are weird.

Winslow, we're animals, remember?

Oh, right.

And wherever a fish lives,

it needs to have its food right there in the water.

Well, that's messy.

SNOOK: You know,

I have a feeling there's something else going on here.

Maybe I'll go talk with Ick.

Okay. Just ask him when he plans to move in with me and Smooch.

My place is much neater than Smooch and Winslow's.

Can you put in a good word for me with Ick?

Um, sure, guys.

Huh.

I'm all ready!

Got all my stuff packed.

Ha-ha!

Hey, Snook, where is everybody?

Ick, so you're really leaving the waterhole?

That's right, Snook.

Good-bye, old waterhole.

Good-bye, slimy old... slime.

Good-bye, lily pads and algae.

Time to move on.

Can't wait to see my new digs

at the monkey hut or Bob's.

Well, Ick, everyone wants you around, that's for sure.

But maybe the best thing to do is to stay right where you are.

No way!

I'm tired of being stuck here in the waterhole,

even though it's the best waterhole anywhere.

But you have gills.

Gills are what let fish breathe

and get oxygen from the water.

You have to live in the water in order to breathe.

Uh... okay, uh...

I'll hold my breath.

I'll live in the bathtub.

But who gets me, the monkey or the anteater?

Besides, Ick, the Tree needs you.

Huh?

What I mean is,

not only is the waterhole right for you,

but you are right for the waterhole.

And that's good for everybody, including the Tree.

And how do you figure that?

Algae.Algae?!

You mean the green stuff that I like to nibble on?

Yep. Without fish like you to eat the algae in your pond,

keeping the water clean,

the roots of the World Tree wouldn't stay healthy.

Huh! Who knew me having an algae snack

could be good for the tree.

And if you were gone, who would do that?

If the water has too much algae,

it could damage the tree.

Hey, Ick, you're a pretty important guy to have around.

What would we all do if you weren't here?

Uh... all right, all right.

I suppose... uh...

I suppose... um... eh...

If we played games down here more,

you could play, too.

Yeah, Ick, would you stay here?

We don't want you to go.

Well...

I'd have to think about it.

Yeah, okay, I'll stay!

Yay! Ick is staying!

Good work, guys!

All right.

Guess I'll head up and have that nap.

See you.

So let's play a game.

And I think I know just the perfect game.

It's called: "Yum Scum."

"Yum Scum?" "Yum Scum?"

[ both swallow hard ]

Yeah, you're going to love it.

Ready, set...

[ laughter]

Nah!

So long, little one. but do not come back to Oko!

[ laughing]

[ stretching]

Now, what Oko do today?

Should Oko cover himself in mud and sit in sun until it dries?

Or should Oko...

Oh, hello!

So nice of you to visit me here in the World Tree.

Hmm, now where is it?

Oko knows that he put it somewhere.

Do you know where Oko put his song book?

Where?

Oh, yes! It must be!

[ mumbling]

[ gasps ]

It is not there.

Mmph.

Hmm...

Oh, I know!

Ha-ha! Here it is.

Hm-hmm!

[ straining ]

Good.

Now come sit down and join Oko

for Oko's Song Book.

[ laughing]

Oko loves that part!

Yes, there is so much to know

that there are even things this old monkey does not know.

Hmm...

You should learn about the world,

but also about yourself.

For example, did you know that your body is full of bones?

Oko show you how it work.

♪ Your foot bone's connected to your shin bone ♪

♪ And then your shin bone's connected to your knee bone ♪

♪ And then your knee bone's connected to your thigh bone ♪

♪ Now, can you feel the strength of them bones? ♪

♪ Hey, them bones

[ laughs]

[ laughing]

Oko loves singing about them bones.

[ laughs]

Well, what is next in Oko's songbook?

Aha!

A song about being yourself.

Oko loves being Oko!

[ laughs]

You are who you are.

[ laughs]

That is a good thing to remember.

Always be yourself.

[ laughs]

Oko is always himself.

Who else would Oko be?

Although Oko remembers once

when he wanted to be a racehorse.

But that was a very different time.

Oko was in big, big hurry then.

Not anymore.

Now, Oko has learned to take his time.

♪ Everybody is in a hurry

Snook, wake up.

Oh, uh...

♪ You just do your thing and I'll do mine ♪

You already sang that part.

Oh, uh...

♪ Why should I be getting nervous ♪

♪ Tangled up in knots

♪ Going crazy making up my mind? ♪

♪ Nothin' I don't have yet is as good as what I've got ♪

♪ So I guess I'm bound to take my time ♪

♪ Take your time

♪ Take your time

♪ You just do your thing, and I'll do mine ♪

♪ I said

♪ You just do your thing, and I'll do mine. ♪

Yes, little ones, Oko knows you have so much to do.

Just like the grown-ups we know.

But it is always good to take your time.

And be sure to find time to look at the moon.

Why?

Because the moon is your friend.

The moon is so peaceful.

It shines over all of us in this big, big world.

That is why Oko's last song is about the beautiful moon.

♪ Hello moon, yellow moon

♪ You tell me it's bedtime soon ♪

♪ So we sing this mellow tune

♪ Good night, good night

♪ Keep a watch overhead

♪ When we all go to our beds

♪ Baby frogs and marmosets

♪ Good night, good night

♪ Tell the tides that I said hi ♪

♪ When you go by the sea

♪ And from the sky your lullaby will wash over me ♪

♪ So here's to you, my shiny friend ♪

♪ I'll enjoy the time we spend

♪ Till the sun comes up again

♪ Good night, good night

♪ Good night, good night

♪ Good night, good night.

Oh!

Oko loves that song.

Maybe Oko will sing it next time.

Well, that's all the songs in Oko's songbook.

Oko cannot wait until there are more.

Hey, Oko wonders what is in your songbook.

Please make sure you let Oko know, hmm?

[ laughs]

Until next time, little ones, bye-bye!

[ laughs]

Hey, you're back.

You know, there are so many la, amazing creatures... ♪

that live here in the World Tree.

Yeah, we got marmosets, anteaters,

turtles, monkeys, birds, ants and frogs.

And you.

Yup, you're an animal, too.

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?

Anteaters are very cool animals.

Do you remember which one of my friends is an anteater?

That's right, it's Bob.

Do you know that anteaters' mouths are extremely small?

Yeah, you could barely fit a pencil

in an anteater's mouth.

Not that an anteater would want a pencil in his mouth.

Luckily, their tongues are long.

Really long,

so they can stick them way out of their mouths

to collect food.

I bet those long tongues sure would be good

for lollipop licking.

What do you think?
