-[Judge] Bravo! Bravo!
-[Mayor clapping] Wonderful!

Thanks! We're rock stars
and this is our band.

You're just the sort of band we need

to get folks moving
at our Dance Exercise Class.

We'd love you to play for us.

Pretty much everyone
in Rhyme Time Town's coming.

The whole town? Wow!

We'd love to!

[claps] Wonderful!

We'll see you in the Town Square
when Hickory strikes four.

[Judge] That's when the fun begins.
Goodbye!

This is gonna be amazing!

Everyone will hear
what a great rock band we are.

-[twangs]
-Uh... really?

There's no way we're gonna sound
good enough by this afternoon.

Sure, we will.
We just have to practice extra hard.

Are we ready to rock?

[group] Ready to roll!

-All right! One, two, three, four!

Oh, hi! I didn't mean to make you stop.

You didn't. We stopped
because you sound so amazing.

Would you maybe join our band
and sing with us today?

The whole town's gonna dance along
to our music.

Please join our band.

Only if you want to, obviously.

The whole town?

Dancing?

I'm in!

Okay, just sing along with us.

-One, two, three, four!
-[music resumes]

Uh, 'scuse... 'scuse me!

Can I make a teensy little suggestion?

If the whole town is gonna be
listening and dancing along,

maybe we need a different tune.

What's wrong with our tune?

Meh. It's nice,

but we should play something
more, you know, rocking

to really go with my singing.

How about...

♪ Baa, baa, baa, baa-ba-boo ♪

♪ Baa-baa-baa, ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba baa ♪

[music continues]

-Stop, stop!
-[twangs]

What's wrong? We sound great!

We do, but you're a little loud.

No one will hear my singing.

Can we try again
and you play a bit quieter?

Oh. Okay.

-[thumping]
-Quieter.

-[volume fades]
-Quieter... quieter.

-Quieter!

There. See?

You can hear me way better now.

Yeah, but Humpty doesn't have
anything to do.

You know, it's not about us,
it's about the music

and making a band sound the best it can.

Humpty gets it, right?

Uh, yeah, I suppose so.

Great. Thanks, Humpty.

You know what might sound even better?

If I go sit on the wall, too?

Well, if you insist.

It's for the good of the band.

But, Baa Baa, there's only two of us
playing any music now.

Yeah. You know, maybe we should try it
with Daisy sitting out, too.

And, Cole, you just play
your fiddle... real quiet.

But if no one's playing,
it's not really a band, is it?

Trust me, Daisy.

It's all about the music.

So, if you don't mind...

[sighs] Okay.

A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, four.

What do you think?

[clatters]

Hello, Baa Baa.
Where did the band go?

Hi, Mumpty. I don't know.

We were playing,
and then I tried out a few things

to make the band sound better,
and everybody left.

That's odd.

What "things" did you try out
with the band?

Well, I asked Humpty to play more quietly.

And I didn't think we needed
a horn or drums

'cause they were drowning out my singing.

And then we didn't really need
the fiddle, either. [twangs]

Oh. Oh, I see.

No one was playing at all?

-Baa Baa, sweetie...
-[twangs]

...do you think
maybe that's why they left?

You mean, I made them leave?

Well, it seems that way, don't you think?

Like you maybe took over too much?

Oh, I didn't mean to.

I just wanted it to sound good.

Yes, but it was their band to start with.

Maybe you got a bit carried away?

Sad hooves.

I shouldn't have taken over like that.

I didn't mean for them to go.

Then how about you go after them

and tell them what you just told me?

-Do you think that'll help?
-I'm sure it will.

[ticks]

[Mayor, Judge grunting]

[Cole] Mary Mary, wait up!

I'm not playing anymore.

Baa Baa spoilt it.

Yeah, but we can still be a band
without her.

-Uh-huh, and play in front of everyone.
-[Mother Goose grunting]

Maybe.

But only if we can play
how we want to play.

-Absolutely.
-Okay, I'm back in the band.

[others] Hooray!

-Let's rock and roll!
-Yeah!

Uh, guys, we forgot our instruments.

Oh, no!

Everyone ready?

Uh, Judge Dish?

There's something we have to tell you.

It's about the band.

Uh-huh? What is it? [claps]

Cat King Cole and his band
are ready to rock.

Great! [chuckles]

Hi, guys. I'm so sorry
I took over band practice.

I didn't mean to make you all wanna leave.

And?

And I just got so excited,

I forgot a band sounds way better
when it's a band,

so I brought your instruments.

[Baa Baa] ♪ Ta-da! ♪

-[group gasps]
-[Cole] Yeah!

[ticks] It's almost time to dance.

Have a great show.

You guys rock.

Aren't you coming, Baa Baa?

Me?

You mean I can still sing in your band?

-Sure, you can.
-Yeah, we sounded great together.

Aw, thank you!

Jazz hooves!

-Let's go, then!

[Hickory Dickory Dock]
"Hickory Helpers' Camping Trip."

Hello! Wait for me. [chuckles]

-I'm so excited.
-Me, too!

Camping in the woods is gonna be so fun.

[Chuckley] Hey there, Hickory Helpers!

Are we all here?

Almost. Just waiting for Humpty.

I hope he doesn't miss
our fun camping trip.

Going camping is a great way
to learn about teamwork

and show what good helpers you are.

[chuckles] It sure is.

You'll be putting up tents,
getting your food ready.

[Chuckley] There'll be so many things
to help each other with.

Oh! I almost forgot.

Chuckley, you'll be needing these.

[creaks]

[Hickory] Hickory stickories.

Thanks! [chuckles]

You can have one of these every time
you do something 'specially helpful.

Hey, guys!

I'm here!

Have you got everything, sweetie-shell?

Your sleeping bag? Blankie?

Mumpty! I'll be fine.

Oh!

[sighs]

[Humpty] I'm so excited!

[group laughs]

Don't worry, Mumpty.
We'll look after him.

Thank you, Chuckley Bear.

My precious little Humpty's never been
on a sleepover before,

especially not a camping sleepover.

Time to go, Hickory Helpers.

[Humpty] Come on, everybody!

Bye, Mumpty!

♪ Boys and girls, come out to play ♪

♪ The moon will shine as bright as day ♪

♪ We're Hickory Helpers camping out ♪

♪ If you need help, give us a shout ♪

[chuckles] Here we are.

First job is putting up the tents.

[Chuckley] Hickory Helpers, go!

[clicks]

[chuckles]

Ooh, string!

[laughs, purrs]

[laughs] Cole, we're trying to put up
the tent, remember?

[Jack] No, Jill.

You've gotta put this pole
into that loop there.

Nuh-uh, that pole goes through this loop,

then that rope goes around those pegs
and into that hole, and...

-[flaps]
-Oops.

-All done!
-[Jack] Huh?

How did you do that?

It's just like making a kite,

except it's bigger
and you get to sleep in it.

Want some help?

Oh, yeah, please.

-I'll help, too.
-[pops]

All done.

-[grunts]
-[snaps]

Wow!

-Thanks, Humpty.
-No problem.

[chuckles]

Looks like Helpful Humpty's
happy to lend a hand.

Great job.

Here you go, Humpty.

-[camper] Yeah! Go, Humpty!
-[camper 2] Hooray!

-[Jack] Yeah!
-[Jill] Hooray!

What do we do now, Chuckley?

Well, I'm gonna set up the cooking area.

Jack and Jill, can you put
the sleeping bags into the tents, please?

Okay.

Everyone else,
please collect twigs for the campfire.

Oh, and put your headlamps on.
It's getting darker.

[Mary Mary] Okay.

[panting]

[Cole laughs]

-[Daisy, Cole laughing]
-Cole, we're finding sticks, remember?

Can't help it. Too much fun.

[chuckles]

[laughs] It's okay. I'm on it.

[sniffing]

[Mary Mary]
This is harder than I thought it would be.

[Humpty] Is this enough, Chuckley?

[rustles]

I can bring lots more.

[chuckles] Well, that's plenty!

Looks like Helpful Humpty
gets another one of these.

This is a great camping trip, isn't it?

Yeah! You've got
two Hickory stickories now.

[Daisy] Well done, Humpty!

[crackling]

-[stomach growling]
-[chuckles]

I'm hungry.
What's for dinner, Chuckley?

Oh, no! We didn't bring any food.

[chuckles]

Don't worry, it's all under control.

In fact, I think I hear it coming now.

[Jack laughs] It's Polly and Molly.

Hey, everyone.
We hope you're all hungry Hickory Helpers.

We've brought lots of food.

There'll be sandwiches for everyone,
but we have to make them first.

Hmm? Who'd like to help us?

We'll do it!

What should we put in them?

Whatever we can find.

Here's some cucumber,
mango, tomato, jelly...

[Daisy] Ooh, cheese! That's good, too.

[panting, laughs]

Ta-da!

[plops]

I think I'll try one of Humpty's.

[Jack] Oh, yeah! And these look good.

[chuckles]

Looks like you get
another one of these, Humpty.

[group] Ooh!

Three Hickory stickories?

I wish we could be good helpers
like Humpty.

[Daisy] He's doing such a great job.

-[murmuring]
-[Chuckley] Mmm...!

-Mmm!
-Mmm! Delicious!

[gulps, slurps]

Aren't you hungry, Humpty?

I always have a banana
for my evening snack,

not sandwiches.

It's kind of... different.

-Yeah, I see that.
-But different can be fun, too, right?

I suppose so.

Bye! Thanks for the delicious food.

[Polly] You're welcome! Have fun, kids.

Now, I have another surprise for you.

I've invited along a special storyteller.

Awesome!
Mumpty tells great bedtime stories.

Hi, Mother Goose.

Hey there, everyone. How's it going?

I thought we'd all tell a story together.

I'll start, and then we'll take it
in turns, okay?

[group] Okay!

Once upon a time, there was a castle.

And in the castle...

Humpty?

I know this story!

Me and Mumpty love this one!

In the castle was an egg, and one day...

Daisy?

Then one day,
a baby penguin came to play.

What? That's not
how my bedtime story goes.

And the baby penguin really liked to play
with its cousin, the baby monkey.

[Mother Goose] Hey! Great start!

-Who's next?
-[Mary Mary] Me!

They wanted to see snow
'cause you don't get snow...

[Daisy] ...and then the rabbit thanked
the penguin and the monkey

for helping her build
her amazing new bunny igloo-house.

-And then?
-And then they all sang.

[Cole, Daisy] Yay! Whoo!

[sighs]

[group] Ooh!

[laughter]

Aw...!

What's wrong, Humpty?

You have the most Hickory stickories
of all of us.

-[Daisy] Aren't you happy?
-[Cole] Didn't you like the story?

Sort of,

but it wasn't like that at home.

Mumpty always tells the beginning,
the middle,

and the end of the story.

It's more fun like that.

[rattling]

[splashes, hisses]

Okay, Hickory Helpers.

[yawns]

Everybody into their tents.

[shudders]

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Time for me to head off, too.

Good night, everyone! Sleep tight.

-[group] Bye!
-[Jack] Good night!

This is so exciting,
sleeping out in the woods!

I can't get comfy.

It doesn't feel like my bed at home.

And I don't have my blankie.

Here, you can have my towel.

Thanks.

I wish I had my night light. It's so dark.

Here, use this.

-Better?
-Kind of.

But mine's a ladybug
and it glows red, not yellow.

-[sighs]
-Humpty, are you okay?

Everything's different here.

I thought camping was going to be fun,

but it's just not.

-[fluttering]
-What was that?

[yells] Chuckley!

Humpty, wait!

-What's wrong?
-I don't like it here.

I haven't got my blankie
or my night light or anything.

I want to go home.

Aw... it's okay, Humpty.

You're feeling a little homesick.

Everyone feels like that sometimes.

-They do?
-Uh-huh.

I really did want to go camping.

Maybe you still can!

What if we moved our tents
to Humpty and Mumpty's garden?

You mean, camp in the garden
instead of in the woods?

Yeah. And that way,
Humpty won't feel homesick.

-He'll be right by his own home.
-[chuckles]

You know,
that's a really helpful idea, Daisy.

Humpty, how does that sound to you?

Is that okay? You wouldn't mind?

-[Daisy] Of course not!
-[Cole] No.

-[Mary Mary] Fine with me.
-[Jack] Fine with me.

It's okay, Humpty.

[slurps]

Oh, there, now.

It's so nice to have you all here
in my back yard.

What a lovely idea.

[kisses] Night-night.

Thank you for making me feel better.

[Humpty] Bringing the camp here
was the best idea ever!

[chuckles]

Well, it's been a busy day.

Daisy and Cole,
here are your Hickory stickories.

You helped Humpty have
a great camping adventure

right here in his own garden.

-[group] Yay! Hooray!
-[Jill] Yeah!
