Mermaids are fast swimmers,
but mer-boys are faster.

Whoa!

I have to swim

- My, aren't you clever,
swimming without water.
Ah-ah! Ah-ah!
[Both laughing]
- We're just pretending.
But I wish I could swim
like a real mermaid.
- Why don't we ask my friend
matilda the manatee?
- What's a manatee?
- A manatee's
a little like a mermaid
But far easier to visit.
You can find matilda
in the glippydrippy gulf.
- Can we go and see her?
- Of course.
Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.
[Both laughing]

for a swimming lesson
With matilda the manatee
in the glippydrippy gulf?

in the glippydrippy gulf?

I'm sure you'll make a splash.

- Here we are,

- A tail!
I see a tail
down there in the water.
- [Laughs]
that must be matilda.
Sally,
press the floata-ma-boater.
We can swim from here.

swim over here.

If my whiskers are there,

it's matilda.
These are my friends

- Hi there, nick.
- [Laughs]
You're great at playing
hide-and-seek, matilda.
You were here,
and then you were there.

That wasn't me over there.
It's my little calf, marlon.
I'll give him a call.

- Oh, I can hear him.
- There.
- [Squeaks]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Hi, marlon.
- We'd like to swim like you.
- Can you show us how to do it?
- [Laughs]
I sure can.
- All right!
Yahoo! Yeah!
- Just as soon
as we get some air.
- Where are you going?
- Manatees may have
big fishy tails,
But they're not fish.
They can't breathe underwater.
- I get it.
Matilda and marlon
breathe air like we do.
- Just like you and me.
- Are y'all ready to swim now?
Both: yes!
- Okay, first up,
the tail flip.
Show them, marlon.
- [Laughs]
Mom, they don't have tails.
- [Laughs]
no tails?
You're right, son.
That's gonna make swimming
like us kind of tricky.
- Leave it to me.
- Ah.
I don't need
swimming lessons.
I'm a natural.
[Siren wailing]
Whoa!
- Cool!
- Swim right this way
for a manatee makeover.
[Both laughing]
- Wow, look at my tail.
Now I look like a mermaid.
- And we'll be able to swim
like a manatee.
Look, it works.
- [Laughs]
mine too.
- Wait for me.
Introducing the catfish.
- Cat!
[Laughs]
- There was only
extra large left.
[All laughing]
- When we go swimming,
we always like to eat as we go.
There's no point swimming if you
can't snack along the way.
- What do you eat?
- Yummy sea grass. Mmm!
- A lot of sea grass.
Did you know that if a manatee
ate a head of lettuce,
She'd eat 200 heads every day?
- Whoa, that's a lot of lettuce.
- We swim so we can find food,
Which means we do
a whole lot of swimming.
- Why don't we teach

Today I have a very hard
question for you.
Which of these three
eats bugs for dinner?
Is it a dog, or is it nick...
[Laughs]
Or is it this plant,
called the venus flytrap?
Did you say that
the venus flytrap eats bugs?
That's right.
A venus flytrap is one of only
a few plants that eats bugs.
Did you get it this time?
Well, next time,
I'll stump you for sure.
Both: time to take a picture
With our snap-o-rama cameras.
- I'll take the picture.
- And I'll guess what it is.
Oh, a puzzle.
I see feathers.
It looks like the wing
of a bird.
Oh, I know.
It's a swan.
- You got it.
But what is the swan doing?
- It looks like it's running.
- They need to run to get
enough speed to fly away.
- Great photo, nick.
[Both laughing]
- Mmm, these chocolates
are so yummy,
Aren't they, nick?
- They sure are, sally.
Mmm, we could have another one.
Uh-oh, only two left.
- You know, my mom
really loves chocolates.
- Mine too,
and there's nothing nicer
Than giving a yummy chocolate
to someone really special.
[Both gasp]
- Special?
Did you say,
"someone special"?
- It's the cat.
- The cat in the hat.
- And you don't get
any special-er than that.
Yum.
- Uh-oh.
- We were saving
those chocolates for our moms.
- Oh, no, I'm so sorry.
