RUPERTGood throw, Tigerlily.

(Laughing) Look at it go.

(Both laughing)

TIGERLILYIt's getting away. RUPERTOh, no. This way.

TIGERLILYDo you see it?

It should have come down around here somewhere.

I hope it didn't land in the water.

RUPERTI found-- (Quacking)

(Gasping)

Oh.

There, there.

It's all right.

He's just a baby. I wonder where his parents are.

(Quacking)

Perhaps he's an orphan. Do you think we should...?

SAGEDear me. That sounds like--

(Screaming)

Coming through. BOTHWhoa!

Whoa! Oof!

The Sage of Um.

Um, oh, my. Sorry. My fault.

A, um, sudden gust of wind caught me by surprise.

(Both laughing)

And you caught us by surprise.

I was on my way to visit Tigerlily's father,

but when I saw you two, I, um,

I couldn't resist dropping in to say hello.

It's good to see you again.

Will you stay long?

Oh, no. Just passing through on my way back to Um Island.

I've been on a collecting trip,

gathering odds and ends from here and there

that I need for my purple potions, and um, well...

Oh, now there's an idea.

I'm sure I have, um...

(Chuckling)

...purple potion that will take care of those wet clothes.

Oh!

(Laughing)

That tickles.

Um, ah-ha. Here it is.

My drying potion.

(Both laughing) Oh, my.

Um, that must be my flying potion.

The drying potion is, um, right here somewhere.

(Rupert and Tigerlily laughing)

(Squawking)

Come on up, little fellow.

(Chirping)

Ah, here we are.

(Laughing)

Thank you, Sage. (Laughing)

That was fun.

(Chirping)

Oh, and, um, who do we have here?

We found him hiding in the bushes.

And there's no sign of his parents.

We're worried about what might happen to him

if he's left on his own.

Well, um, why don't we take a peek in my crystal.

It should provide an answer to the problem.

Ah-ha.

RUPERTGosh. A mean old swan

has been picking on him.

(Honking)

We'd better take him home with us.

(Laughing)

No need to worry.

This little fellow will be just fine.

He didn't look fine to us.

VOICEOh, there you are.

Come along now, Egbert.

It's time to get back in the water.

That little scamp.

He's always trying to get out of his swimming lessons.

Rupert. That's what we saw in the Sage's crystal.

SAGEExactly, Tigerlily.

The crystal doesn't show what has been.

It shows what will be.

You mean it tells the future?

It could tell us what's going to be on next week's history test.

Or if the weather will be perfect for kite flying.

Yes, yes, all that and more.

Oh, couldn't we borrow it for just a little while, Sage?

Oh, no, Tigerlily.

Interpreting the future is a very tricky business, you know.

It takes great care and years and years of practice.

But it would be so much fun to know what we'll be doing next.

That's easy. I will be having a lovely chat with my old friend

the Chinese conjuror,

and you two will soon be playing with your toy plane.

Is that what you see in your crystal?

No. That's what I see in the top of this tree.

(Laughing)


Bye, now.

(Rupert laughing)

TIGERLILYOkay, Rupert. My turn.

GRANNY GOATGo on. Shoo!

FREDDY AND FERDYOw! Ow!

Watch it. Okay, we're going!

The next time you young scallywags

want a plum, ask politely.

FREDDYHm! "Ask politely" she says.

What fun is that?

Yeah. Asked-for plums don't taste half as good

as snitched ones.

Well, Granny can't spoil all our fun.

Come on, Ferdy. I've got just the plan.

(Snickering) FERDYNo way.

I've got the plan. No, I do.

It's my plan. Is not, it's mine.

We'd better warn Granny to be on the lookout

for a Fox brothers prank.

Ooh, I'd really like to give those Fox brothers

a taste of their own medicine.

I'd like to know what they're planning.

That's a great idea Rupert.

We'll ask the Sage to look into his crystal.

TIGERLILYHello? Father?

Sage?

Oh, dear. They must have gone for a walk.

It could be ages before they're back.

Well, we can't use the crystal without the Sage's help.

But this is an emergency.

If the Sage were here,

he'd want to help Granny Goat, wouldn't he?

Yes, of course he would.

And I'm sure he'd let us borrow his crystal

if he knew it was for a good cause.

Well... Good.

Let's go. But-- Ah!

Now let's see what lies in the future for Granny Goat.

It's working.

There's Freddy and Ferdy.

♪

Poor Granny.

She's in for a soaking.

Not if we can help it.

Come on. We'll have to work quickly.

Freddy and Ferdy will be back any minute.

♪

(Giggling)

Granny's going to be all wet.

(Both laughing)

We're so smart.

I'm the one who's smart. Are not. I am.

You are not. Are too.

Are not. Are too.

Just the way we saw it.

(Jingling)

Hey what's this?

Shh!

What's with all the racket?

You're going to give us away.

"Pull the string

for a big surprise."

I want the surprise.

No, I saw it first.

(Screaming)

(Splashing) (Ferdy screaming)

This is all your fault, Ferdy.

Is not. You pulled the string, Freddy.

I'm telling Mom. No, you're not.

Yes, I am. No, you're not.

Hooray. We foiled them.

Come on. We better get this back where it belongs.

What is all the commotion out here?

(Jingling)

Now, why is there a bell hanging from my plum tree?

Oh.

We can take a shortcut through my backyard.

MOMGoodness, where can it be?

Hi, Mom.

Looking for something?

Yes. My favourite brooch.

You know, the gold one with the emerald missing in the centre?

RUPERTThe one Dad gave you when you got married?

Yes. Even though the stone is missing,

it still means a lot to me.

I don't know what I'll do if I've lost it.

TIGERLILYRupert.

Look.

(Inaudible)

Have you looked everywhere, Mom?

Yes. It might have fallen

through a crack.

(Gasping)

Oh, Rupert! Oh, you've found it!

Oh, thank you.

But however did you think of looking there?

Oh, I don't know, Mom. Just a lucky guess.

Anyway, I'm sure Dad would have found it sooner or later.

Bye.

(Gasping)


Hm.

But how?

Dear, look at this.

What have you got there? Not your brooch!

But how?

I don't know.

The emerald has been missing for years and now it's back.

No, I meant how did you find it?

I had the emerald put back.

It was going to be a surprise for our anniversary.

Oh, my. Well, I thought I'd lost it.

I was so happy when Rupert found it.

But how on Earth did he know where to look?

TIGERLILYDid you see the look of surprise

on your mother's face?

(Laughing)

That was brilliant, Tigerlily.

I'm going to miss knowing the future.

Just in time.

The Sage and your father are back from their walk.

Rupert, there's something forming in the crystal.

It's the Sage in his 'brella.

RUPERTAnd there's Um Island.

He must be heading home.

TIGERLILYRupert!

Something terrible is going to happen on Um Island!

RUPERTIt looks like an earthquake,

or a volcano erupting.

Look, there's the Sage.

We have to warn him.

He's going to be in terrible trouble.

So are we, Rupert.

We aren't supposed to be looking into the future, remember?

(Door opening) SAGEAh, here we are.

TIGERLILYDon't worry.

All we have to do is stop him from going back to Um Island.

Oh, Sage?

(Both gasping)

RUPERTHe's gone.

♪

RUPERTSage, wait!

Oh. Um, hello again, children.

How nice of you to see me off.

You're not leaving already? Oh, yes.

I must hurry back to Um Island right away.

Time to fly. Whoa!

Yes that's it, time to fly.

Time to fly our airplane.

Our airplane?

(Grunting)

Oh, right.

Our airplane.

You mustn't go before we show you

what marvellous tricks we can do.

(Chuckling)

This is called a loop-the-loop.

Oh, wonderful throw, Tigerlily.

Very good. Um, well, ta-ta.

Oh, Sage.

Did my father tell you how well I'm playing piano now?

No, Tigerlily. That's wonderful.

I've learned several new pieces,

including a duet with Rupert.

(Moaning)

(Off-key piano playing)

We wrote it ourselves.

Oh, my. It's, um, lovely.

Just lovely. Well, um, bravo.

Bravo.

Keep up the, um, practice.

(Door closing)

(Both gasping)

Wait, wait. Oh.

What about the, uh, basement?

There's something down there you really should take a look at.

Um, you don't have another

musical instrument down there, do you?

No, no. It's, uh, dust.

Dust?

Well, it might be magic dust.

Oh, my. It wouldn't do to have magic dust

just lying around the basement.

Who knows what might happen. Exactly.

That's why we need your professional opinion.

Show him, Rupert.

(Blowing)

You see? Dust, everywhere.

Yes, but, um, I'm sure it's not magic dust at any rate.

How can you be sure?

Because I'm not a--

Ah-- Ah-- Ah-- Ah--

allergic to magic dust--

(Sneezing)

(Sneezing)

Sage, I'm--

(Sneezing)

--sorry.

We've--

(Sneezing)

been delaying you because--


Oh, dear.

My 'brella.

Oh, no. The wind must have blown it away.

Don't worry. Sage. We'll help you search for it.

And if we don't find it today,

you're welcome to stay the night.

Yes. I'm almost sure we'll find it tomorrow,

won't we, Tigerlily?

(Sage laughing)

Well, now, Rupert.

Why don't we see if you're right about that?

Now isn't that strange.

Tigerlily is going to find it.

In that tree, I believe.

I'm not sure how it could get there,

but um, thank you, Tigerlily, for finding it.

(Sighing)

You're welcome.

It's no use.

We'll just have to tell him.

SAGEGood-bye, Tigerlily.

Good-bye Rupert. Until next time.

RUPERTNo, wait! TIGERLILYSage, come back!

There's something we have to tell you.

He can't hear us.

We've got to stop him.

We'll need the magic wand

and the travel cloud potions.

Here.

Ready? Ready.

Travel cloud, please fly swift as a jet.

We can't let the Sage go back to Um Island yet.

BOTHWhoa!

Whoa!

(Screaming)

Oh, my.

Must have been one of those newfangled jet planes.

Sorry.

We're too far off track. Please take us back.

BOTHWhoa!

Whoa!

(Grumbling)

Everyone's in such a hurry these days.

(Squawking) What?

Oh, yes. Um, couldn't agree more.

Slow and steady wins the race, I always say.

(Grunting)

(Sighing)

(Sighing)

Travel cloud, hear me, please.

We'd like a little slower speed.

There he is, Tigerlily.

Uh, let's see now...

Sage's 'brella in the sky, time to slow the way you fly.

Oh, dear. Now what?

My 'brella is losing power.

That ought to stop him.

Well done, Tigerlily.

Now, where's my purple power potion?

Ah-ha.

Whoa, no! Wrong purple pouch!

(Screaming)

Easy 'brella. Ya!

Whoa! Tigerlily, do something.

Flip, flop, stop!

Ah, that's much--

Whoa!

TIGERLILYRupert, look.

It's just like in the crystal.

We're the ones who put him in the ocean.

It's all our fault.

Hang on, Sage!

Rupert? Tigerlily?

We're coming.

(Wind gusting) BOTHWhoa!

My goodness.

What are you two doing here?

We were supposed to be rescuing you.

Oh.

Well, um, that's very kind of you.

Um, rescuing me from what, exactly?

From this.

Magic wand, give one more try,

Use your powers to make us fly.

(Crackling)

Sorry. It doesn't work when it's wet.

So it would seem.

But, um, I'm wondering,

why were you following me in the first place?

Because we knew you were going to be in trouble

and we wanted to help, only we didn't help at all.

SAGEAh, I see.

It sounds like someone has been peeking into the future.

We're very sorry.

We know we shouldn't have.

At least you won't be on Um Island when it explodes.

(Laughing)

And that would explain why you didn't want me to leave.

We found out a huge disaster is going to happen on Um Island.

RUPERTThere.


You see?

(Sage chuckling)

This isn't a disaster, Rupert.

It's a marvellous natural phenomenon.

It's called the Rainbow Geyser.

It only erupts once every hundred years.

I saw it when I was a young lad

and was in a rush to return so I could see it again.

Can you ever forgive us?

Well, at least you tried to use the crystal to help others

and not for yourselves.

That counts very much in your favour.

But aren't you disappointed

you're going to miss the Rainbow Geyser?

(Sage laughing)

Who said anything about missing it?

It looks like we're all going to be watching it together.

Fantastic.

But how?

Well, if you, um, really want to know...

Let's just let the future unfold as it will.

Right. From now on, we want to enjoy life's surprises,

not spoil them.

SAGEGood for you two. (Rumbling)

BOTHWhoa!

Hello.

Would anyone like a ride to Um island?

Everyone in the ocean is heading there

to watch the Rainbow Geyser.

(Laughing)

Yes. We know.

(All laughing)
