(Giggles)

That's me!

Caillou:
"helping mrs. Howard"

(Gilbert meows)

(Meowing)

Caillou:
(giggling)

Get it, gilbert!
Get it!

(Laughing)

(Gasps)
gilbert!

What are you doing,
daddy?

I'm building
a ship-in-a-bottle.

Can I help?

Hmm... Oops!

I'm sorry, caillou.

I know you want
to help,

But this is very
tricky work.

You can watch!

(Sighs heavily)

Maybe someone else could
use your help today -

Like mommy
or rosie?

Okay, daddy.

Oops!

What're you doing?

Puzzle!

Can I help?

No.

(Sighs heavily)

Mommy:
bye!

You take care,
mrs. Howard!

Mrs. Howard!

Mommy? Mommy!

What happened
to mrs. Howard?

She sprained her ankle
while going for a walk.

It's nothing serious.

She just needs
to take it easy

For awhile.

Storyteller:
caillou suddenly had
a wonderful idea.

Mrs. Howard could use
my help!

That's very nice of you,
caillou, but-

I can help her with some chores
around the house!

Well, perhaps mrs. Howard
could use a little help

Around the house.

Let's give her a call
and see.

Okay!

(Dialling beeps,
phone rings)

(Mrs. Howard picks up)

Oh, hello,
mrs. Howard!

Caillou and I were wondering
if we could come by

And talk to you
about something.

(Inaudible response)

Mommy:
oh! Wonderful.

See you soon!

(Birds chirp)

Storyteller:
caillou was very excited

At the thought of lending
mrs. Howard a hand.

(Doorbell rings)

Mrs. Howard:
I'm commm-ing!

Well, hello there.

Now what is it that I can
do for you today, caillou?

I want to help you,
mrs. Howard -

With your chores!

Is that going to be okay
with you, mrs. Howard?

(Laughing)
oh, of course!

It's awfully nice of you

To want to lend a hand,
caillou.

Come on in!

Well, I guess I'll
leave you to it.

Bye, caillou!

Bye, mommy!

Mrs. Howard:
all right.

Now, let's see...

You could help me water
the plants, I guess.

Yeah!

(Unsteady)
whoooaaaa...

(Water splashes)
whoooaaaa...

Whoooaaaa...
Oopsie!

(Water spills)

(Gasps)
big oopsie.

How's it going,
caillou?

I spilled some water,
mrs. Howard.

Oh, not to worry.

I'll just grab a mop
and clean it up.

Careful not to slip!

Oh my!

Here you go,
little plants.

Drink up!

Now what else can I do,
mrs. Howard?

Well...

Mm...

You could do a bit
of dusting for me,

If you like.

Okay!

There's a feather duster
under the sink.

I'll get it for you.

No, I can get it,
mrs. Howard!

(Laughing)
oh that caillou,

What a sweet boy.

Storyteller:
caillou was enjoying being
such a big help to mrs. Howard.

Ah, that feels better.

Bye bye, dust!

(Lamp thumps
as it rocks)

Whoops! (Gasps)

I'm sorry,
mrs. Howard!

That's okay, caillou,
I'm sure it'll be fine.

It really needed
a new lampshade anyway.

Storyteller:
caillou didn't mean to ruin
mrs. Howard's lampshade.

Suddenly, he didn't feel like
such a good helper anymore.

You know what would be
a really big help to me,

Caillou?

What?

It would be great if you could
fetch my mail for me -

From the mailbox.

I can do that!

Easy peasy!

(Struggling)
unnngghh!

Whoa!

(Mail flutters to the ground)

Oh no!
They're all muddy!

Are you okay,
caillou?

I'm okay.

But I dropped your mail,
mrs. Howard!

Storyteller:
caillou felt terrible.

At that moment,

He thought he couldn't do
anything right!

Don't worry, caillou,
it's only mud.

I'm sure everything
will be fine.

Now, come on inside,
and we'll get you cleaned up.

There.
Better?

Better.

Only... I wish I was
a better helper.

Caillou, I'm surprised.

You're a terrific helper!

Caillou:
how?

I spilled water,
and knocked over your lamp...

And I got your mail
all muddy.

Everyone has accidents,
caillou.

Even me!

The truth is,
you've been a wonderful help.

Storyteller:
now it was caillou's turn
to be surprised.

How?

Just knowing I can
count on you

For some good company
and a few laughs

Is all the comfort
and help I need!

Really?

Really.

I like being your friend too,
mrs. Howard.

So maybe you'd like

To stick around
this afternoon,

And play a game of cards
with me?

Yeah!
I'm good at cards!

(Claps) great!

Whoa!

(Chuckles)

That was a close call,
hmm?

(Giggling)

Oh!

Oopsie.

Caillou and mrs. Howard:
(laughing)

Storyteller:
that day, caillou learned
that giving his time

Is often the best way
to help a friend in need.

Caillou:
"caillous fun run"

Come on, daddy!
You can do it!

(Gasping)
ninety-nine!

(Grunts)
one hundred!

(Sighs heavily)

Mommy:
wow! One hundred sit-ups?

You'll be in great shape
for the "fun run" this weekend!

Caillou:
yes, we will!

Storyteller:
caillou could hardly wait!

He and daddy were going
to run

In the big charity race
together.

We're gonna put the "fun"
back in fun run,

Right, kiddo?

Yep! And I bet the winner
gets a ribbon!

Let's go for
our practice run!

Yeah!

Caillou:
look! It's leo and his mom!

Hi, leo!

Leo:
hi, caillou!

It seems we both had
the same idea today -

Going for a jog.

Yeah, we signed up
for the charity run

On the weekend!

We did too!!

Do you think the winner
will get a ribbon?

I dunno.

But if they do,
we'll get one for sure.

We're really fast!

Daddy and I are fast,
too.

Right, daddy?

I think we'll win!

It's not that kind of race,
caillou.

Besides, when we run
for charity,

Everybody wins!

Who's charity?

(Laughing)
it's not a who.

It's a what.

Charity is when you raise money
to help others.

Each runner pays to enter
the "fun run,"

And all the money
goes to the hospital!

Oh. Well...

I still want to win
a ribbon!

Daddy:
(panting) whew!

Come on, daddy!

How 'bout some more
push-ups?

More?

Uh-uh!
Sorry, caillou.

I think that's enough
training for one day.

I'm hitting
the showers.

Ouch!

Daddy!

My ankle!

Oh my goodness!
Are you okay?

Oh... Yeah.

I'm going to try
and stand.

Ow! Ow!

I think my ankle's
sprained.

Storyteller:
caillou was upset
about his daddy's ankle,

But all he could think
about was:

What about the fun run?

(In pain)
ooh!

(Approaching footsteps)

Boo-boo?

That's right, rosie.

Daddy's got a boo-boo.

But not to worry.

I just called dr. Jackson
at the hospital.

She'll see us
right away.

We'll be leaving

As soon as grandpa
shows up

To watch you.

Daddy, I hope your ankle
feels better soon.

Oh, thanks, kiddo!
I-

Caillou:
like maybe this weekend?

So we can still go
to the fun run?

Mommy:
sweetheart,
I think the fun run

Is the last thing
on daddy's mind now.

Oh yeah.

Sorry, daddy.

Storyteller:
caillou was waiting anxiously

For mommy and daddy
to return from the hospital.

Grandpa:
ring around the...

Rosie:
wosie!

A pockey fuw of posie!

Husha, husha,
we all faw down!

Grandpa and rosie:
(laughing)

Mommy:
hi, kids!

(Sighs) I'm afraid...
Daddy's ankle is sprained.

Boo boo?

But what about the fun run?!

I know you're disappointed,
caillou,

But I can barely walk,
let alone run.

Grandpa:
you'll have to take it easy
for a few weeks, son.

Dad!

Maybe you can run the fun run
with caillou?

Well, that sounds
like fun...

(Sounding tired)
as long as it isn't today.

I'm pooped!

But, daddy,
grandpa can't run fast!

I've never seen him
run at all.

We'll never win!

It's not about winning,
caillou.

Besides, grandpa might
surprise you.

Grandpa:
(snoring)

Crowd:
(buzz of excited chatter)

Storyteller:
caillou was excited.

It was the day
of the big race!

All of the runners were
getting ready to run...

All but grandpa!

(Chuckling)
I got your nose!

Rosie and grandpa:
(laughing)

Hi, caillou!

Ready to race
for that ribbon?

Uh... Yeah.

Good luck, leo!

Well, have fun,
you two!

We'll see you
at the finish line!

So, are you ready
to run?

Yeah. I guess so.

(Whistle blows)

Crowd:
(cheering)

I'm gonna get your nose
when I get back!

Yes I am!

Rosie:
(giggling)

Grandpa:
caillou! Wait up!

Now this is gonna
be fun!

Yeah... Fun.

Leo:
let's go!

Grandpa!
Try to hurry, okay?

Crowd:
(cheering)

Who are they clapping for?

For us!

But why?
We're not gonna win!

Win?

This isn't about winning.

This is a charity race!

Charity.

I know,
to help others.

That's right!

Did you know
we're raising money

For the same hospital
daddy went to

When he hurt his ankle?

Really?

So... Running in the fun run
helps people?

Like daddy?

That's right!

Now, what do you say
we put the fun

In "fun run"?

Caillou:
o-kay!

Caillou:
hi there!

Grandpa:
ooh, come on!

Ice cream vendor:
hey, caillou, come on!

(Dog barking)

Woo hoo!

(Camera shutter clicks)

Crowd:
(cheering)
hooray caillou!

Way to go, dude!

Leo:
look!

I got a ribbon!

Nice, leo!
We had fun too!

People cheered,
and we got our picture taken.

We even got frozen yogurt!

You got frozen yogurt?!

Luuuuucky!

A ribbon?!

Leo:
yeah. We all get ribbons!

That's because
when you run for charity,

Everyone's a winner!

Right, grandpa?

Right, caillou!
Come on!

Storyteller:
that day, caillou felt proud.

Running for charity

Meant doing something wonderful
for others.

Ok everybody, who
wants to play some games?

I have plenty of
ribbons you can win.

I do!

Wait for me, grandma.

In this race everyone
has to walk heel to toe,

Like this.

(Children laughing)

One foot right
in front of the other,

All the way to
the white ribbon.

Is everyone ready?

On your mark, get set, go!

(Laughter)

Rosie too!

Hurray!

Clementine wins!

Yeah!

Well done, everybody!

Ready for another one?

Yeah!

How about a big
smile for grandma?

Ooh!

Very nice!

Lovely!

Hmm, oh, I found
the biggest smile.

Leo is the winner!

Good smiling, leo.

Thank you!

Who wants to
play the next game?

(Laughter)

(Laughter)

Rosie wins!

She's the silliest.

Hurray!

I win! I win!

Now this is an
obstacle course.

First you jump over
this mattress

And land with both feet.

Then you do a hurdle jump
over the ball like this.

Then you pick up the
ball, stand on the line,

And throw it into the basket.

If it goes in, run as fast
as you can back to the start.

(Laughter)

On your mark, get set, go!

Boy, you two are fast!

I won, I won!

I did it!

Yay!

Caillou:
"the new girl"

(Car rumbles past)

Caillou:
this is going to be
the best school trip ever!

Storyteller:
today, caillou was going

To one of his favourite
places -

The dinosaur museum.

Leo and I are going
to be partners!

And we have it
all planned out!

First, I get to sit
by the window on the bus

And then leo gets it
on the way back.

Then we're going to see

Who can name
the most dinosaurs!

And then we're going to see

Who can make the best
dinosaur sounds!

This is going to be
the best school trip ever!

Mommy:
I'm putting an extra box
of raisins in your lunch.

Just don't go feeding them
to the dinosaurs.

Caillou and daddy:
(giggle)

Dinosaurs don't eat raisins,
mommy.

They eat plants
and other dinosaurs!

(Roaring playfully)
rarrrrrrrr!

(Amused giggle)

Rooooaaar!

Mommy:
have fun!

Kids:
(buzz of excited chatter
and laughter)

Remember,
I get the window seat

On the way
to the museum, leo.

And I get it
on the way back.

Just so you know,

I'm going to win
our dinosaur roaring contest.

I've been practicing
for two whole days!

Yeah? Well I've been practicing
all week!

(In unison)
this is gonna be
the best school trip ever!

Miss martin:
all right, everyone,

I'd like you all to say hello
to layla.

This is layla's first day
at school.

Class:
hello, layla.

Miss martin:
because layla doesn't know
anyone here,

I would like someone
to be her partner

For today's school trip.

Caillou?

You can be layla's partner.

(Whispering)
that means we're not gonna
be partners, caillou!

Caillou:
psst!

Miss martin:
all right, everyone remember
the rules.

Partners must hold hands

And stay together
at all times.

And everyone must keep
their place in line

So no one gets lost.

Kids:
(excited chatter and laughter)

But I'm supposed to get...
The window...seat.

Storyteller:
caillou wanted to be
with his friend leo

Instead of layla.

He realized layla would
rather be with a friend too.

Only she didn't have
any friends at school

Because she was the new girl.

Caillou remembered how he felt
on his first day at school...

When he was the new boy.

On my first day
at school,

I wanted to go home
because I didn't know anyone.

But then leo said
he would be my friend.

Then everything
was okay

And my first day at school
was lots of fun.

I'll be your friend,
layla.

(Car horn beeps)

Storyteller:
as soon as caillou saw
the dinosaurs,

He wished he and leo
were together

So they could play their
dinosaur-naming competition.

Leo and I know all
the dinosaur names.

Oh!

That's a brontosaurus!

Layla:
wow!

And that one's
a t-rex.

And that one

With the pointy things
on its back is a...

(Blurting)
stegosaurus!

Storyteller:
caillou was impressed

That layla knew
the dinosaur names.

He wondered if she could
make dinosaur sounds

Like he and leo could.

I think the t-rex must have
sounded like this...

Raaaarrrrrrrrr!!!

(Taken aback)
wow! Maybe.

But I think it sounded
more like this...

Rrrraaaarrrr-aaaarrrr!

(Gasps)

(Giggling)

(Amazed) wow!

That was even better
than mine!

(Giggling)

Skreeech...skreeech...
Skreeeech!

(Giggling)

Skreeee-caaaww!
Skreeee-caaaww!

Skreeee-caaaaaaaww!

And that was even better
than mine!

Both:
(giggling)

Skreeech...

Layla, guess what kind
of dinosaur I am.

(Silly high-pitched squeal)

A squealasaurus!

Both:
(laughing)

You're funny!

(Giggling)
now you guess
what I am.

(Mimics fast,
deep snoring)

A dino-snore!

Both:
(gales of laughter)

(Caillou starts hiccuping)

Now you're
a hiccup-adactyl!

Rrrrraaaarr-hiccup!
Rrrrrrr-hiccup!

Both:
(laughing)

Miss martin:
all right, everyone.

Roooar!
Roooaarr!

(Giggling)

(Trumpets like
a woolly mammoth)

(Giggling)

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

(Chuckling)

Both:
(laughing)

Little girl:
(big yawn)

Caillou:
(giggling)
dino-snore!

Caillou and layla:
(laughing)

I had the window seat
before.

Now it's your turn,
caillou.

Thanks!

(Yawns)

Dino-snore,
you're welcome!

Both:
(giggling)

(Snoring)

Storyteller:
as caillou waited for mommy
to pick him up,

He shared some of the things
he'd learned at the museum.

Caillou:
okay, guess what I am!

(Fast, deep snoring)

(Growling)
a dino-snore!

All:
(laughing)

Miss martin:
(laughing)

That's a funny dinosaur joke,
caillou.

Layla made it up!

Miss martin:
well, layla,

What did you think of
your first day at school?

It was lots
and lots of fun.

It wasn't the best
school trip ever,

But it was still
really, really good...

Because I came back
with a new friend!

Yeah, layla's funny.

Storyteller:
it was a good trip indeed!

Caillou had made layla feel
very welcome

On her first day
at preschool.
