Mr. Sparks:
At Hero Elementary,
our students can do
some amazing things.
But sometimes we all
need a little help
from our friends.

Here I go!
Mr. Sparks:
That's why my students
practice using teamwork.
- Oh, yeah!
- [grunts, laughs]
- [grunts]
both: Oof!
[both gasp]
- Oh, no!
It's broken.
- [squeaks]
- Oops, guess one of us
should have called it.
- Sí.
Let each other know
what you want to do,
so you can work together.
That's teamwork!
- Yeah, that sounds
better than crashing,
which is no fun.
- Ooh, ooh,
speaking of fun,
my family's having a party,
and I have invitations!
both: Yay!
- Cool!
- You're all invited
to my house
next weekend for Otsukimi.
- Otsukimi?
What's that?
- Otsukimi.
It's a Japanese
moon-watching festival
that happens this time of year.
We're having a party on the
roof of our apartment building
where we can get
a good view of the moon.
- Ah, yes!
- Count me in!
- Thank you, gracias!
- Oh, me too!
Oh, a moon party
does sound fun.
But what's the rabbit for?
- That's the rabbit.
You know,
from the rabbit in the moon.
- The what in the what?
- You've never heard
of the rabbit in the moon?
- Mm-mm.
- No.
- No.
- No, I haven't.
- I've heard of
the man in the moon.
Thought projecting.
See how the darker parts
look like a face?
- Uh, sort of.
- What do you see, Sara?
- A rabbit!
See?
Ears, tail...
- Oh, yeah, there it is!
- Okay!
- We'll look for the rabbit
on the day of your moon party.
- You mean the night.
The moon's only out at night.
- Are you sure about that?
- Huh?
[curious music]
Whoa!
You can see the moon
in the daytime?
- Yes, sometimes you can.
- Oh, I never
noticed that before.
- But wait.
What's wrong with the moon?
- What do you mean?
- When we celebrate Otsukimi,
the moon is always round,
like a circle.
See?
But now
it's just a half circle!
Lucita: Whoa!
Benny: You're right!
- Why do you think that is?
- Uh, maybe the moon is
disappearing!
- Oh, or maybe the air's coming
out of it, like that ball!
- Or--or maybe the moon's
being eaten by space aliens!
- Whatever it is,
the moon's already half gone!
Otsukimi is about celebrating
a big, round moon!
We can't have the party
if the moon looks like that!

what's going on.

who can help us.

how to fly a spaceship.
