[Brooms swish]

Badou:
this is thumpin'!

I can't wait to see
the monkey's paw paw!

babar:
it is impressive, badou.

I expect it will draw
a very big crowd tomorrow

When the display is opened.

chiku:
the monkey's paw paw
is so cool!

It's cool,
isn't it, bu?!

It's tusktastic, chiku!

Is it true you found it
right here in monkeyville,

General huc?

The general
found it here

Before there was
a monkeyville, badou.

When I found this
marvelous jewel,

I knew I'd found
the perfect spot

To build our town.

boss croc:
invitation?!
i don't need an invitation!

I'm ruler of the slog!

Crocodylus:
and I am crocodylus...

I'm sure you've heard of me.
Hmph!

general huc:
let them through!

Crocodylus:
oh!

[Excited]
oooh!

[Gasps] it's green,
like meee!

Let me- [slap] ow!

Just one little-
[slap] ow!

I'll be ever so-
[slap] ow!

No touching!

Hmph!

Hmm... It's nice,
but it's no orb of slog.

General huc:
orb of slog?

Boss croc:
show them, crocodylus!

[Odour hisses]

Spinkweed?

Both:
ewww...

[Growls]

[Recovers]
I mean, ooh!

Gaze upon it in wonder-
whoops!

Whoa! Oof!

[Gasps]

Oof!

Whoa!

Wow!

Oof!

Phew!

General huc:
get that slippery slimeball
out of here!

Boss croc:
go home, before you embarrass me
even more!

Aghhhhh! Oof!

[Gasps] the monkey's paw paw
is gone!

Who took it?!
Who, bu?

Who else?
Crocodylus!

What?!
I didn't take anything!

I'm innocent!

[Fading into distance]
I didn't dooo iiiiiit!

Babar:
I can't believe
he would take the crystal

Right in front of all of us.

I can believe it, papi!

Didn't you see him?

He could barely keep
his claws off it.

general huc:
he can't monkey with us!

After him!

♪♪

[Growling]

I didn't take it!

Croc's honour!

i'm innocent!

[Gasps]

They don't believe me!

What'll I do? What'll I do?
What'll i-

Run!

Aghhhhh! Oof!

Oof!

[Panting]

General huc:
that crafty croc
gave you the slip?!

Round up more troops.

We have to find him
before he escapes monkeyville!

boss croc:
it takes a croc
to catch a croc.

I'll bring crocodylus in...

But I expect
a hefty reward!

General huc:
catch him and you can name
your reward, boss croc!

[Greedy snicker]

I'll cash him in
for a swamp barge

Full of spinkweed!

Did anyone actually see
crocodylus take the paw paw?

Chiku:
well, no.

Badou:
but we all saw him run away.

If he didn't do it,
why would he run away, papi?

He looked frightened.

When someone is frightened,

It's hard for them
to think clearly.

He's just scared
we'll catch him

Before he gets away.

babar:
i'm not so sure, badou.

Something just isn't
adding up.

I think we should look
for more clues.

We'll find more clues

That will prove crocodylus
did it.

Hey-hut!

Oh... Agghhhhh!

Ah-ha!

[Sighs with relief]
oh, oh, thank spinkweed,
it's you!

They're all after me!

I told them
I didn't take the paw paw.

Speaking of spinkweed...

General huc will give me
a barge-load

For bringin' you in!
Ha ha!

But I didn't do it!

Exactly what I'd expect
a croc who did do it to say!

Whaaaa-oooph!!

Woo!

Chiku:
here's where they said
he got away.

Badou:
thumpin'! He must have been
planning his escape for weeks!

Or he might have
been frightened

And not thinking clearly?

chiku:
there's the chest he had!

A-ha! That's how he hid
the monkey's paw paw!

He put it in this chest!

This proves he took-
waaaah! Oof!

Why would crocodylus throw away
the orb of slog?

He wouldn't, chiku.

Most likely he dropped
the chest during the chase

And the orb fell out.

Nits and gnats!

If the orb was in this chest,

There wouldn't be any room
for the crystal.

Look!

You're right, badou.

That certainly proves

Crocodylus didn't carry
the crystal away in the chest.

So how did he do it?

You were right, papi;
something isn't adding up.

I think we need to go back
and look for more clues!

Now you're on the right track,
detective!

Badou:
okay. Let's pretend this
is the monkey's paw paw.

So if crocodylus was standing
here with the chest...

Then his hands
would be full.

You're right, chiku.

So how did he carry
that crystal?

If he carried it at all.

Badou:
he must have, papi.

Who else could have done it?

Hmm... A-ha!

Crocodylus left his clawprints
on the display! See?

Wait a monkey minute.

These are your handprints,
bu!

You must have stuck
your hands out

When you slid
into the display.

Like this.

Oops!

[Chiku gasps,
crown clinks]

[Loud metallic clink]

[Clinking]

Ribbit!

Nits and gnats!

[Toads croak]

Chiku:
[giggles]

Those gobble-glommer toads
will swallow anything!

They'll swallow anything!

[Giggles and burps]

Badou:
papi, what if the monkey's
paw paw ended up here

The same way my crown did?

Then I'd be all wrong
about crocodylus taking it!

There's only one way
to know for sure...

Let's get tickling!

[Croaking]

Badou:
woo-hoo!

A-ha!

[Laughter]

[Burping]

[Burping]

[Laughter]

[Laughs and burps]

[Gasps]
the paw paw!

Crocodylus was telling
the truth!

And now he's running
because of me!

I have to find general huc
and explain what happened.

[Grunting with effort]

[Laughs]

[Gasps]

[Boing]

[Grunting with effort]

Crocodylus! Look!

We found the monkey's paw paw!

Yaaaaaw! Whooooa!

[Gasps]
my nightmare is over!

Badou:
the one that I started.
Sorry.

Crocodylus:
hmph! A fine future king
of the elephants you'll be!

Babar:
if you'll help get us down,

We can go find general huc
and explain everything.

Crocodylus:
oh no! You'll turn me in
for that reward!

I'll return
the monkey's paw paw myself

And explain what happened!

Maybe I'll get the reward!

Hee hee hee!

I don't think general huc
will believe him.

Everyone is sure crocodylus
is guilty.

Badou:
since I got him into trouble,
I'll get him out...

As soon as I get us
out of this!

Aghh!

Searching the jungle
will be easier from above.

To cloud dancer!

crocodylus:
[panting]

There he is!

And he has the monkey's paw paw!

Yes!
I have the monkey's pa-

General huc: hey-up!
Crocodylus: agghhhhhhhh!

Here! Take it!

Ahh! Aghhhhh!

General huc: after him!
Crocodylus: whooooaaa-oa-oa-oa!

I knew he'd take this trail
back to the slogs!

Chiku:
there's crocodylus!

And he's heading
for trouble!

Take us lower,
papi!

Whoa!

Aghhhh!

Boss croc:
he's mine!

Yaaaaaa!

Aggghhhhh!

Ungh!

[Smashing]

Oh dear.

Badou:
here you go,
general huc!

I'll explain it all later.

From now on,
I'll look for all the clues

Before I look
for someone to blame.

Good lad.

Boss croc:
[pained groans]

[Gasps]

Agggghhhhhhh! Oof!

General huc:
and for your heroic effort

In recovering
the monkey's paw paw,

I present you all with these
monkeyville medals of merit.

Cool!

What's the matter, bu?
These medals are cool!

Badou:
they are,

But after all the trouble
I caused for crocodylus,

I feel kind of funny
getting a medal.

boss croc:
shake yer tail, crocodylus!

hurry up
and get me back to the slogs.

Badou:
wait! Ambassador crocodylus!

I'm sorry for blaming you
for taking the paw paw.

Crocodylus:
apology accepted!

At last!
My very own medal!

And no one deserves a medal
more than...

Me!
[Struggling]

I deserve that medal!

I'm ruler of the...

Sloooooooooooooog!

This is all your fault
for being such a nice guy.

I'll save you,
your bossiness!

[Squeaking]

[Gasps]

[Groans]

Munroe:
thanks, bu!

Babar:
yes, very considerate, badou.

Badou:
papi! That was my good deed
for the day.

During tomorrow's race,

I'm gonna be too busy winning
to be nice.

Hah! I'm the quickest quill
in celesteville!

Gee, pop!
The babarathalon

Has never had such fierce
first-time racers!

Chiku:
why is the race called
the babarathalon, your majesty?

Now that's a story.

You see, I was about
to become a father.

i was so excited,
i couldn't stay still.

your grandmother
convinced me

to take a bicycle ride
to relax.

i ordered the royal guard
to fire the palace cannon

if the baby was born
while I was away.

i rode up twisty trail
to pirate lagoon.

just as I arrived,

i heard the palace cannon
fire three times!

i had three babies!

i pedaled back so fast,
i crashed my bike!

Kids:
wow!

Badou:
how did you get back?

Babar:
with lots of help!

A hippo hiker showed me
a shortcut.

Then a leopard lumberjack
taught me

How to log roll down
to the river.

In the end,
I used cart and canoe

And the soles of my shoes
to make it home!

I created the babarathlon

As a fun way
to remember the birthday

of alexander, flora...
and pom.

Chiku:
awwww!

Badou:
I'm gonna win tomorrow's race
for you, dad,

And you too, papi.

[Excited chatter]

Pom:
all the racers must ride
their bikes up twisty trail

And reach pirate lagoon

Before the cannon fires
three times.

Babar:
there you'll find pedal cars,

Wheelie sneaks,
carts and canoes.

You can use any of them

To take any path back here
to the finish line.

You can even use the soles
of your shoes!

[Giggling]

Pom:
the first racer back
to the palace

will get to cut
the birthday cake with me,

and they can have
as big a slice as they want.

[Snores]

Wahhhh!

My first slice would be
the whole cake!

Wait! I'm in!

Oof! Whoa!

Lady rataxes: whaaaaa!
Lord rataxes: ow!

So here's what I need you
to do...

Racers, ready?

Go!

[Trumpets]

Whoa-oa-oa-oa!

[Cheering]

Aaggghhhhhhhh! Oof!

Aaggghhhhhhhh!

Oh! Whoa!

Munroe:
a-ha!

[Cackles]

Aaggghhhhhhh!

[Cackles]

Woo-hoo!

Whoa!

Yippy!

Agh!

[Loud pop]
whoa!

Whaaaaaa!

Lady rataxes:
[cackles]

Ooh! That good deed
is going to cost you!

Whoooaaaa!

Spikey nuts?
What bad luck!

The race is over for me,
young hatchling,

But you still have
a chance!

Go on!

I'll see you
on the way back down!

[Cackles]

[Gasps]

Whooooaaaaaa!
[Wheels screeching]

Whoa! Whaaaaa! Whoa!

Ungh!

Ick! A stickersap tree!

I'm - ungh! - Stuck!

Lady rataxes:
[laughing]

chiku:
bu, help!

Badou:
chiku, what happened?

Chiku:
there were bananas on the road,
bu!

I skidded and - splat! -
Stuck.

First spikey nuts,
now bananas?

Something's not right.

How can I get you loose?

Chiku:
the repair kit on my bike!

Grab the oil can;
that might dissolve the sap.

Ooh! Agh!
Thanks, bu!

That was real nice.

But get going!
You can still win!

Badou:
okay.

[Grunts with effort]

Ms. Strich:
ohhh... My... Goodness!

Whoa-oa-oa-oa! Oof!

[Laughs]

Whoooaaa!

[Sighs with relief]

Whoa!

[Gasps]

Ms. Strich:
is anybody there? Hellooooo!

Ms. Strich,
are you okay?

Ms. Strich:
I was knocked from my bike
into my, uh...

Current predicament.

Hmm.

Spikey nuts, bananas,
and now coconuts?

Somebody's cheating.

Ms. Strich:
oh my!

[Grunts with effort]

Badou:
wow! You're really stuck!

Sniffle thistle!

Ms. Strich:
whoa! [Big sneeze]

Aggghhhhh!

Gotta go, ms. Strich!
Got a race to win!

Ms. Strich:
woo-hoo!

A-ha!

munroe:
whaaaaa! Oof!

Whoa! Aghhhhh!

munroe:
help! Down here!

Hey, bu!

Hold tight,
I'll pull you up.

[Grunts]

Agh!

Someone put up a fake race sign
that made me crash.

Everybody's crashed except me
and lady rataxes.

I think she and lord rataxes
are cheating.

You can still
b*at her, 'bu!

I dunno.
I've stopped so many times.

Munroe:
then you better hurry!

[Laughs]

[Laughs]

Whooooaaa! Oof!

Rataxes:
here, my little, cuddle cactus,
put these on!

[Clock rings and cuckoos]

[Three loud blasts]

Badou:
yes!

Huh?

[Groans]

Lady rataxes,
where are all the other rides?

Well, why ask me?

There was nothing left
when I got here,

But these rocket-powered
wheelie sneaks!

[Rockets whoosh]
aghhhhhhh!

Oof!

[Rockets whoosh]
aghhhhhhh!

No cart,
no canoe.

Like papi, I've only got
the soles of my shoes!

lady rataxes:
whaaaaa!

Get out of my way,
you spiky speed bump!

Munroe:
badou? Where's your zoomerblimp
or pedal car?

Gone! No way I can win
the race now.

You helped me;
my turn to help you.

Come on!

This ravine runs straight down
twisty trail like a shortcut.

you can get ahead
of lady rataxes.

Badou:
thanks!

Lady rataxes:
aaggghhhhhhh!

Badou:
chiku! Ms. Strich!
Have you seen-

Whoooooa!
[Rockets whoosh]!

Chiku:
she's not very good
on those sneaks, is she?

Badou:
but I still won't be able
to catch up to her.

[Sighs]

ms. Strich:
you helped me,
young prince.

Allow me to help you.

I am somewhat
of a log-rolling expert!

Alors!

Whoa!

[All giggle]

Aggghhhhhh!

Chiku:
look, bu!
We're gaining on her!

Oof! Aghhhhhh!

Yaaaaa!

Stop!
It's gallop!

[Woozy] ahhh!

Whooaaaaa!
Oof!

Badou:
gallop, are you okay?

Gallop:
I'm fine.

I just followed
the brook upstream,

Looking for a sunny place
to take a nap.

The brook is a straight sh*t
to the bottom of twisty trail.

If I had a boat or canoe,

I could get ahead
of lady rataxes.

Gallop:
well, you helped me,
little hatchling.

Maybe I can help you.

Lady rataxes:
whaaaaa!

[Rockets whoosh]
aghhhhhhh!

Badou:
go, gallop, go!

Whoa! [Gasps]

Thanks, gallop!

[Rockets whoosh]

Whaaaaaa!

Lady rataxes:
get off... Get off...
Get off me!

Where have you been,
lord rataxes?

Ahh... Er...

Oh, look!
Here they come!

[Rockets whoosh]
aghhhhhhh!

Get off! Get off!

Oof!
Wahooo!

[Rockets whoosh]
aghhhhhhh!

Whaoo!
[Splash]

[Gasps]

[Spits]
outrageous!

[Rockets whoosh]
aghhhhhhh!

Badou cheated!
He used me as his ride!

Ms. Strich:
it wasn't prince badou
who cheated.

[Moans]

Whoa-ho-ho-ho.

Chiku:
somebody played dirty tricks
to crash all the racers.

Badou:
the cheater got rid of all
the rides at pirate lagoon too.

That's a very
serious claim.

did you see anything,
lady rataxes?

Me? No!
I saw nothing!

Um... It was him!

He did it!
I'm innocent!

[Rockets whoosh]
aggghhhhhhh!

Pom:
congratulations, badou!

[Cheering]

Badou:
it wasn't just me.

It was like in your story,
papi.

I needed a lot of help
to get back.

Ms. Strich:
badou risked losing the race
to rescue each of us.

Yeah, but I didn't always want
to stop and help.

Babar:
but you did anyway.

Good deeds aren't always easy,
badou.

I'm proud of you.

Come on,
let's cut the cake!

[Cheering]
woo-hoo! Yeah!

[Excited chatter]

Badou:
happy birthday, dad.

Pom:
this is the best present
I could have, son.

Badou:
let's save two pieces

For when lord and lady rataxes
get back.

lord and lady rataxes:
[rockets whoosh]
aggghhhhhhh!

I mean,
if they get back!

[Laughing]
