- This is looking great!
Just a little more here...
Yes!
Now all it needs is paint.
- Nick!
Wait till you see
what I can do!
[gasps]
- Whoa!
Ooh, that was close.
- What are you doing?
- I just finished making
this mountain out of clay.
- Wow!
It looks really real!
- And I'm not even done yet!
This mountain green paint
is gonna make it look like
it's covered with trees!
- It's so cool!
Almost as cool as...
my new yo-yo trick!
- I'd really like to see it,
but maybe you should
show me outside.
- It's okay.
I'm getting pretty good at it.
It's called
"Around the World"!
Oops!
- Mountain green
is definitely not my color.
- Aww, no!
- I'm so sorry!
I'll clean this up
while you get some more paint.
- There isn't any more.
That was special
mountain green paint.
- Oh. Don't worry.
I'm putting my yo-yo away.
Whoa!
- [gasps]
- Ah!
- Oh, no!
I'm so sorry, Nick.
- I--I need to go outside.
- It was an accident.
Right, Fish?
- That paint
sure is slippery.
I think Nick's upset.
- We better go outside
and see if he's okay.
- Allow me.
- Whoa!
- What's the hurry, Sally?
- Oh, Cat, I wrecked
Nick's mountain
with my yo-yo trick.
- Is that all?
Accidents happen, Sally.
It's not the end
of the world.
- Just the end of my mountain!
- Did you know
that some accidents
can actually be good?
- How can accidents be good?
- [exclaims]
I think you both
need to meet my friend
Sara of Serendip.
- Sara of Serendip?
How can she help?
- Sara's a great
inventor.
She creates all kinds
of amazing things,
and she loves accidents!
- Why would anyone
love accidents?
- And how's that gonna
fix my mountain?
- There's only one way
to find out.
Shall we meet her?
- It's worth a try.
Let's go!
- Your father won't mind
at all if you do.
[upbeat music]
- Dad, is it okay
if Sally and I
visit the great inventor
Sara of Serendip?
- Sara of Serendip?
[chuckles]
You might be able

- Where's your friend Sara?
- We have to look for a sign
pointing to her workshop.
- I think we found it!
But the arrow points
in two different directions.
Which one goes
to Sara's workshop?
- I'm pretty sure it's--
oh, dear.
That way!
- Cat, both paths can't lead
to the same place.
There has to be a right way
and a wrong way.
- I guess we have to try one.
But...which one?
- It's a toss-up.

Ha-ha! Tails!
Sally, you decide.
- This way!
[upbeat music]

What is that?
- Only my friend Sara
could come up with
an invention like this.
- An invention?
It just looks like something
to hold pots of paint.
- Maybe we'll find
some paint for your mountain!
- I don't see anything
that looks like mountain green.
- Are you sure?
Did you look at all of them?
Oops!
- [gasps] What did you do?
- It was an accident!
- An accident?
Oh-ho, all right!
How you doing, Cat?
- There you are: the greatest
inventor in Serendip!
- [laughs]Oh, Cat.
You always say that.
- Only because it's true.
Nick, Sally,
may I present Sara?
- Hi, Sara.
- So tell me
about this accident.
- Uh, I spilled some
of your paint by mistake,
with my yo-yo.
- Yo-yo? I never would've
thought of that.
Let's see what you've done.
I think I'll call it...
[gasps] Paintfalls!
A waterfall made of paint.
This is exactly
what I was hoping for.
Thanks to you.
- You wanted them to spill?
Why?
- See for yourself.
- Wow.
The colors are mixing.
- [gasps] If you mix
red and yellow,
you get orange!
- I think this is one of your
best inventions yet, Sara.
- The yellow paint
is mixing with the blue
and making...
- Mountain green!
It's the exact color
I need for my mountain!
Thanks for showing me
how green paint is made.
- It's Sally you should thank.
She's the one
who made the yellow
mix with the blue paint.
- But it was just an accident.
- Ha! What is it
I always say, Cat?
- Accidents happen.
both: If you're lucky!
- What does that mean?
- Sometimes when
accidents happen,
they accidentally
make you think of something
you've never thought of before.
- Like mixing blue and yellow
to get mountain green!
- Exacta-mundo!
[giggles]
- Do you think
you have an invention
that can fix my other accident?
I also wrecked
the top of Nick's mountain.
- Well, why don't we go
to my workshop and see?
♪
- Wow! What are all these
inventions, Sara?
- I don't exactly know yet.
I'm waiting to find out!
- But they're your inventions.
You've got to know
what they are.
- Sometimes you need
to experiment
until you find out
what you got.
That's the fun part!
- When fun-filled experiments
need to be done,
it's time to get help
from Thing Two and Thing One!
[whistles]
[excited chatter]
- I'm not sure about this, Cat.
Those things are kind of
accident-prone.
- What do I always say?
- Accidents happen...
- If you're lucky?
- You've got it!
Come see what I'm working on.
This was going to be
a pedal-powered vacuum cleaner,
but I think it could
be something else.

You've helped me invent

[giggles]
You see, you never know
what you'll find...
- If you keep
an open mind.
- Okay, I get it,
but I don't see
anything here
that can fix the big hole
in my mountain.
- Well, then we'll
have to keep looking.
- What's this
going to be, Sara?
- I've mixed baking powder,
liquid dish soap,
and a little water.
But I'm not sure
what to add next.
- I guess we need
another accident!
- Maybe Sally should
do her yo-yo trick.
[laughs]
- I'd love to see that.
- I don't think
that's a good idea.
- Oh, Fish, there are no
bad ideas in this workshop.
- Okay, if you're sure.
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
- What a catch!
- I've been looking all over
for this bottle of vinegar.
[gasps]
I wonder what would happen
if we added it
to this pot.
- There's only one way
to find out!
- Okay, kids.
Only adults should handle
this kind of mixture.
We have to be safe,
so put these on!
- Ooh, safety goggles.
[drum roll]
- Just a smidge...
[exciting music]
- Cool!
Who knew that would happen?
- I think I'd better
get a yo-yo.
You seem to get
a lot done with yours.
- You can have mine,
if you like.
- Really?
You'd let me have it?
- Please, take it![laughs]
- [laughs] I think I've had
enough accidents for one day.
And we still haven't
figured out
how to fix the hole
in Nick's mountain.
- Hmm...
I know exactly
how to fix it!
Sara, can I borrow the things
you mixed together?
- Of course, as long
as you use them safely.
- Thank you!
Come on, let's go!
All right, everyone.
Are you ready?
all: Ready!
- Thanks to Sara's Paintfalls,
I found out I could make green
by mixing blue and yellow.
But then I thought,
"Why have a green mountain
when I could have
a rainbow mountain?"
- Ooh!
- Ahh!
- But it still has
a hole in the top.
- Right! Why make a mountain
when I can make a volcano?
- Bravo, Nick!
How inventive!
- Is it really going to erupt
like a real volcano?
- I hope so!
I mixed the baking soda, water,
and soap, just like Sara did,
and I added orangey-red paint
to make it look like lava.
Now, if you just
add the vinegar,
we should get
a volcanic eruption!
- Okay, stand back, everybody.
This is so exciting!
[bubbling]
- It worked!
- You did it!
- Well done, Nick.
- Thanks to Sally
and her accidents.
- Well, you know
what we all say.
- Accidents happen...
- If you're lucky!
[laughter]
- Cat, what are you
gonna paint?
- I don't know yet.
Hmm.
- Whoa--ugh!
[accordion music]
Sorry, Cat.
- That's okay, Sally.
It was only an accident,
and accidents
can be wonderful things.
- They can?
- Yes.

- Hmm.
I know it has something
to do with waves.
- Like on the ocean?
- Yes!
Wait, no.
Well, you know, maybe.
Kind of?
- Well, it would be great
to figure it out.
[shivers]
- Luckily, I know
where to go for that.
The Soundy Sea.

I'm in.

has no water, Fish.
Only waves!

I think I'll stay here
and take a bath.

inventor in Serendip!
- [laughs]Oh, Cat.
You always say that.
- Only because it's true.
Nick, Sally,
may I present Sara?
- Hi, Sara.
- So tell me
about this accident.
- Uh, I spilled some
of your paint by mistake,
with my yo-yo.
- Yo-yo? I never would've
thought of that.
Let's see what you've done.
I think I'll call it...
[gasps] Paintfalls!
A waterfall made of paint.
This is exactly
what I was hoping for.
Thanks to you.
- You wanted them to spill?
Why?
- See for yourself.
- Wow.
The colors are mixing.
- [gasps] If you mix
red and yellow,
you get orange!
- I think this is one of your
best inventions yet, Sara.
- The yellow paint
is mixing with the blue
and making...
- Mountain green!
It's the exact color
I need for my mountain!
Thanks for showing me
how green paint is made.
- It's Sally you should thank.
She's the one
who made the yellow
mix with the blue paint.
- But it was just an accident.
- Ha! What is it
I always say, Cat?
- Accidents happen.
both: If you're lucky!
- What does that mean?
- Sometimes when
accidents happen,
they accidentally
make you think of something
you've never thought of before.
- Like mixing blue and yellow
to get mountain green!
- Exacta-mundo!
[giggles]
- Do you think
you have an invention
that can fix my other accident?
I also wrecked
the top of Nick's mountain.
- Well, why don't we go
to my workshop and see?
♪
- Wow! What are all these
inventions, Sara?
- I don't exactly know yet.
I'm waiting to find out!
- But they're your inventions.
You've got to know
what they are.
- Sometimes you need
to experiment
until you find out
what you got.
That's the fun part!
- When fun-filled experiments
need to be done,
it's time to get help
from Thing Two and Thing One!
[whistles]
[excited chatter]
- I'm not sure about this, Cat.
Those things are kind of
accident-prone.
- What do I always say?
- Accidents happen...
- If you're lucky?
- You've got it!
Come see what I'm working on.
This was going to be
a pedal-powered vacuum cleaner,
but I think it could
be something else.

- Okay, I get it,
but I don't see
anything here
that can fix the big hole
in my mountain.
- Well, then we'll
have to keep looking.
- What's this
going to be, Sara?
- I've mixed baking powder,
liquid dish soap,
and a little water.
But I'm not sure
what to add next.
- I guess we need
another accident!
- Maybe Sally should
do her yo-yo trick.
[laughs]
- I'd love to see that.
- I don't think
that's a good idea.
- Oh, Fish, there are no
bad ideas in this workshop.
- Okay, if you're sure.
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
- What a catch!
- I've been looking all over
for this bottle of vinegar.
[gasps]
I wonder what would happen
if we added it
to this pot.
- There's only one way
to find out!
- Okay, kids.
Only adults should handle
this kind of mixture.
We have to be safe,
so put these on!
- Ooh, safety goggles.
[drum roll]
- Just a smidge...
[exciting music]
- Cool!
Who knew that would happen?
- I think I'd better
get a yo-yo.
You seem to get
a lot done with yours.
- You can have mine,
if you like.
- Really?
You'd let me have it?
- Please, take it![laughs]
- [laughs] I think I've had
enough accidents for one day.
And we still haven't
figured out
how to fix the hole
in Nick's mountain.
- Hmm...
I know exactly
how to fix it!
Sara, can I borrow the things
you mixed together?
- Of course, as long
as you use them safely.
- Thank you!
Come on, let's go!
All right, everyone.
Are you ready?
all: Ready!
- Thanks to Sara's Paintfalls,
I found out I could make green
by mixing blue and yellow.
But then I thought,
"Why have a green mountain
when I could have
a rainbow mountain?"
- Ooh!
- Ahh!
- But it still has
a hole in the top.
- Right! Why make a mountain
when I can make a volcano?
- Bravo, Nick!
How inventive!
- Is it really going to erupt
like a real volcano?
- I hope so!
I mixed the baking soda, water,
and soap, just like Sara did,
and I added orangey-red paint
to make it look like lava.
Now, if you just
add the vinegar,
we should get
a volcanic eruption!
- Okay, stand back, everybody.
This is so exciting!
[bubbling]
- It worked!
- You did it!
- Well done, Nick.
- Thanks to Sally
and her accidents.
- Well, you know
what we all say.
- Accidents happen...
- If you're lucky!
[laughter]
- Cat, what are you
gonna paint?
- I don't know yet.
Hmm.
- Whoa--ugh!
[accordion music]
Sorry, Cat.
- That's okay, Sally.
It was only an accident,
and accidents
can be wonderful things.
- They can?
- Yes.
