Um, good morning,
mr. Otter, sir.
Are you open yet ?
Why, flick. You're certainly
up early this morning,
aren't you ?
Um, yes. Uh--
Um, you wouldn't happen
to have the latest issue
of mallard man comics,
Would you, mr. Otter, sir ?
Just came in, flick.
Go on inside
and have a look.
Um, mr. Otter, sir,
Pbj wouldn't happen
to be inside, would they, sir ?
Nope. Sorry.
They're helpin' their mama
with the laundry this morning.
Oh. Now that is
just a crying shame.
but I'm sure they'll be
over here before long.

Is something wrong ?
No. Why ?
Should there be ? Hmm.
Hey, flick, look.
It's a new issue
of mallard man.
Oh, flick.
Would you read it to us ?
Yeah. No one reads
mallard man like you do.
[ Gulping ]
no way.
Why do I always
have to read stuff to you ?
i'm outta here.
Wow. What got into him ?
He didn't even
buy mallard man.
- [ Giggling ]
- come on.
We better go find out
what's bothering him.
Oh. Glasses help me see
so much better,
But how can a duck
look cool in glasses ?

Isn't this wonderful ?
This is fun !

We don't wanna be

You don't ?
Why not ?
We wanna be saved
by a real superhero.

saved by mallard man.
Step aside, glasses boy.
Mallard man
will handle this.
Mallard man !
All right !
Mallard man.
Oh, why can't I be cool

flick !
flick duck,
we're stuck !
Uh-oh !
Flick, what are you doin' ?
We've been lookin'
all over for you.
Cheese and quackers !
Can't a duck get a little
peace and quiet around here ?
"Peace and quiet" ?
You ? Now I know
something's wrong.
What is it with you otters ?
There always has to be
something wrong.
There's nothing wrong with me.
I'm just like you, or peanut...
or baby butter.
[ giggling ]
Well, maybe not
baby butter.
But I'm just like
the rest of you.
I'm not different.
But, flick, nobody
said you were.
We just wanted to tell you
that you forgot your
mallard man comic book.
Yeah. You left it
in my dad's store.
So what if I did ?
It's not like I'm
hiding something.
Now leave me alone.
Something's really
bothering him.
Yeah. We better
see what's wrong.
Oh, hi, flick.
You know,
You forgot your copy
of mallard man
this morning.
Um-um, yes, thank you,
mr. Otter, sir.
I was, um, somewhat distracted
from my reading by-- pbj !
Flick, we've been
looking all over for you.
I, uh, just came by,
to, um,
Pick up my copy
of mallard man.
Wait, flick !
You took a muscle mice
comic by mistake.
Huh ?
Oh, yeah. So it is.
[ Nervous chuckling ]
Wait a minute, flick.
That's a mustard men
comic book.
- Flick, what's wrong ?
- Uh--
Hmm. Now where is
that tuna pepper ?
Jelly ! Have you
seen my glasses ?
- Here they are, mama.
- Oh, thank you, dear.
I can't read a word
without them.
Here we are.
Flick, do you need--
[ gasps ]
glasses ?
Uh-- all right, ya got me.
I need glasses.
I didn't use to,
but now I do.
- [ All ] oh.
- Go on. Let's
get it over with.
Make fun of me.
Call me names.
Is that why you've been
avoiding us all day ?
Well, sure.
I could just imagine
what everyone would say
when they found out...
That the coolest duck in hoohaw
needed reading glasses.
But there's nothing wrong
with wearing glasses.
My mom wears them.
And so does mayor jeff.
But that's different.
They're old.
Wait ! I have an idea !
Maybe we can make this problem
not a problem.
How can you do that ?

Hey, butter, peanut,

I just got a great idea.
Wait right here, flick.
Daddy, can we borrow
some paper and crayons ?
Sure, honey. I just
happen to have 'em right here.
Flick,

Can I look yet ?
No !

- There.
- Here, flick. This is for you.

if they're good enough
for mallard man,
They must be good enough
for flick duck.

- My story.
- How 'bout it,
o duck of steel ?
Okay, guys, come on.
I'll read the new issue to you.
That was good thinking,

High five !
Hey, jelly,
why didn't you low-five ?
Why didn't you
high-five ?
Jelly, everyone knows
you're supposed to low-five.
Correction: everyone knows
you're supposed to high-five.
- Low-five.
- High !

Watchbird alert !
Peanut and jelly are arguing
about whether you should
high-five or low-five.

Nice one, captain.
Now how 'bout a low five ?

supposed to low-five...
When everyone knows

Right, mayor jeff ?
Hmm. You know,
this argument of yours...
Seems to remind me
of something.
- What do you mean, mayor ?
- Hmm.
Let me see now.
What was it ?
It happened so long ago,
and, um--
Oh, yeah.
Now I remember !
What is it, mayor ?
What took place
a long, long time ago ?
- My story.
- Story.
Yup. It happened
right here on the lake...
A long, long time ago.
- What happened, mayor jeff ?
- The great hoohaw battle...
Over high and low.
[ Cawing ]
good morning.
[ Chattering ]
[ mayor jeff ]
it all started one morning
when old waldo otter...
was working
in his barber shoppe boat.
Mornin', mr. Otter.

- Oh, that's when things
got really bad.
Low !
High !
low !
high !
[ mayor jeff ]
the argument kept spreading
until pretty soon...
everybody on the lake
was arguing about the right way
to sing the song.
why, the folks who sang it low
stopped talking to the ones
who sang it high.
the ones who sang it high
didn't want to have anything
to do with the ones
who sang it low.
Low !
High !
Low ! Low !
High ! High !
Low !
High !
[ mayor jeff ]
those were dark times
on the lake.
finally, edwina challenged
waldo to a singing battle...
to decide whose version
of the song was better.
Waldo otter,
I challenge you
to a singing battle...
To decide whose version
of the song is better.
Singing battle ?
The loser has to move
to the swampy side
of the lake... Forever.
[ All ] forever ?
Okay. How about a week ?
[ All ]
oh !
We've been friends
for a long time, edwina.
Are you sure that's
the way you want it ?
Yes, waldo. Even though
someone has to lose,
there's no other way.
You go, edwina !
You show him !
Show 'em, waldo !
Yeah, yeah, you show 'em !
Well, okay, then.
I accept your challenge.
And may the better singer win.
[ All gasping ]
aw !
But, waldo, if you lose,
You'll have to
leave lake hoohaw
for a whole week.
I know.
And if edwina loses,
she'll have to leave.
But edwina's
your best friend.
I know.
What will you do, waldo ?
What will you do ?
I'm not sure, but I'd better
think of something.
Did waldo have to move
away from the lake,
mayor ?
It was edwina,
wasn't it, mayor ?
Well, it was quite a problem
those two had to solve.
I can tell ya that.
- So what did they do ?
- Well, they just up and--
They just--
I mean, I think they--
Hmm. Now what was it
they did ?
- You mean you don't remember ?
- Well now, kids, you know,
It was a long time ago.
Oh, no !
Aw, man !
Then how are we ever
going to find out
what happened ?
Noodle !
Yeah ! We could
do a noodle dance...
And try to think up
a whole bunch of ways...
Waldo and edwina could have
solved their problem.
- A noodle dance ?
- Good thinking, jelly.
One of your noodle dances
would be a hoohaw of an idea.
Right now ? Aw, come on.
This is no time for dancing.

we can figure out

had been invented yet.

To stop singing

singing the song were good,
and that they sounded
even better together.
and that's how lake hoohaw
discovered harmony.
We were right !
We figured it out !

Low five.
High five.
Good job, kids.
Now why was I
telling you that story ?
I must have had some reason.
Because you
like to tell stories ?

We've been arguing
just like--

And if we could figure out

Then we can figure out
