Ranger Rabbit, Elinor.
ELINOR: Hi
MR. RACCOON: Olive and Ari.
ARI: Hey! [sniffs]
Mmm, these donuts
smell so good.
[slurp]
MR. RACCOON:
Why thank you, Ari.
You're welcome
to have some...
Oh, if that's okay
with Ranger Rabbit.
RANGER RABBIT: [giggle]
Sure, go ahead kids.
KIDS: Yes! Yay! Awesome!
RANGER RABBIT:
Thank you, Mr. Raccoon.
KIDS: Thanks!
Thank you!
MR. RACCOON: [chuckle]
You're welcome.
ARI: Mmmmm... Hmm...
A-ha! Whoops!
MR. RACOON: Oh-[chuckle]
Now, how can I help you?
RANGER RABBIT: Well, we're out
getting supplies, Mr. Raccoon.
ELINOR: Because we're
going on a trip!
My mom is taking us
camping this weekend.
MR. RACCOON:
Oh, how exciting!
Where are you going?
RANGER RABBIT: We're
heading up to Hidden Lake.
OLIVE: We've never
been there before.
It's gonna be so
much fun.
MR. RACCOON: I'm sure
it will be.
Well, you came to
the right place.
I make the best baked
camping goodies in town.
Of course... I'm also
the only baker in town.
[laughs] Here ya go!
RANGER RABBIT: Thank you
Mr. Racoon.
ARI: Mmm, this
donut is so good.
I wish I could eat the
hole too!
OLIVE: Ari, you can't
eat the hole.
It's a hole!
KIDS: [laugh]
ELINOR: Hmm...
Mr. Raccoon, I've never
thought about this before.
But I wonder...
why do donuts
have holes?
MR. RACCOON:
Well, that's easy.
You see, they're baked
with the holes in them.
ELINOR: Yes, but why do
donuts have holes in them?
MR. RACCOON: Um,
Hmm... Uh...
That's a good
question, Elinor!
OLIVE: [chuckle] Yeah, Elinor is
really good at asking questions.
ARI: Yup, she's the best
question asker in the world.
RANGER RABBIT: Kids,
we should get going.
We still have more things
to get for our trip.
Thanks again,
Mr. Raccoon.
KIDS: See you later!
Bye! Bye!
MR. RACCOON:
Good bye! Have fun!
Hmm...
RANGER RABBIT:
Okay, let's see.
We should get
some fruit.
But, I also need to stop
at the Post Office...
to pick up a package.
OLIVE: We can get the fruit
from Ms. Llama, Ranger Rabbit.
RANGER RABBIT:
Ok, thanks, kids.
I'll see you at the
Post Office.
ELINOR: Hmm, I do ask
a lot of questions.
OLIVE: Yeah, remember that
time you asked Ms. Mole
so many questions, she
gave us extra recess...
so we could keep
exploring?
ELINOR: Ms. Mole, why
are trees so tall?
And why do fish swim?
And why do lizards
have such long tails?
MS. MOLE: [chuckles]
Oh, Elinor.
ELINOR: Those were
pretty good questions.
KIDS: [chuckle]
ELINOR: I wonder why I
ask so many questions?
Why do I wonder why?

ARI: Elinor, you're
the only bunny I know...
who can ask a question
about asking questions!
ELINOR: What's that, Mom?
RANGER RABBIT: It's a letter
from my old friend Beatriz.
Do you remember her?
ELINOR: Mmm, I
don't think so.
RANGER RABBIT: I think
she moved away...
when you were just a baby.
She's coming this way
to camp at Hidden Lake...
for a few days.
ELINOR: Hidden Lake?
That's where we're going!
RANGER RABBIT: Yes,
maybe we'll see her there.
Ok, should we continue
getting things for our trip?
ARI: Ranger Rabbit, are we
going to get marshmallows?
[frog croaks]
ARI: [gasp]
ARI: "Ribbit?"
OLIVE: It's a frog!
RANGER RABBIT: I wonder
what it's doing...
in the middle of town.
ELINOR: [gasp] I've never
seen a frog here before.
ELINOR: Mom,
can we follow it?
RANGER RABBIT: Sure, kids.
I'll go get the rest of
the things we need...
and then come find you.
Just keep a safe distance
and try not to scare it.
ELINOR: Thanks, Mom!
Let's follow that frog!
[♪♪♪]
[frog croaks]
ELINOR: Excuse me.
Sorry.
[♪♪♪]
MS. MOLE: [gasp]
Wow!
These illustrations
are so life-like!
[laughs]
[♪♪♪]
[frog croaks]
OLIVE: Whoa!
Nice jump!
ELINOR: Aww, cute!
It looks kinda...
lost.
ARI: This is where we
usually find frogs, but...
there's only one now.
OLIVE: And the creek
is really dry.
There's no water in it.
ELINOR: Maybe that's why
the frog was in town.
The creek is dry, so it
went looking for water.
OLIVE: Oh, I think I read about
this in my Nature book.
OLIVE: Most frogs like
ponds and creeks...
that have just the right
amount of water for them.
If there's too much
or too little...
from what they're used to,
they won't like it.
[frog croaks]
ELINOR: Aww,
poor little froggy.
I wonder where all
the water went.
[frog croaks]
ARI: Bye, froggie!
I hope you find a good,
wet frog spot.
RANGER RABBIT: Ah, I thought the
frog would come to this creek.
ELINOR: We followed it here,
but the creek is really dry.
RANGER RABBIT: Huh, it is
unusual for the creek
to be dry this
time of year.
I'll have Deputy Mouse
look into it later.
Oh, speaking of Deputy Mouse,
I should check in on him.
RANGER RABBIT:
Deputy Mouse...
Come in, Deputy Mouse.
[walkie-talkie static]
DEPUTY MOUSE: I hear you
loud and clear, Ranger Rabbit.
I'm here helping Mrs. Beaver
clear space for the new road
into town.
RANGER RABBIT: Did you
find the site ok?
DEPUTY MOUSE: Yes, it's
right near Hidden Lake.
There are a lot of bushes,
branches and sticks,
but Mrs. Beaver and her
crew are having.
no problem moving
them out of the way.
RANGER RABBIT: Ok,
good luck, Deputy Mouse.
Call me if any
problems come up.
DEPUTY MOUSE: Will do,
Ranger Rabbit.
RANGER RABBIT: I think
we have all the supplies
we need for the trip.
ARI: Did you get
marshmallows?
RANGER RABBIT: No,
unfortunately...
Mr. Hippo was out of
marshmallows.
ARI: No marshmallows!?
Uuuuhhhh...
RANGER RABBIT:
I'm sorry, Ari.
ARI: That's Ok!
I'm still excited to go.
Maybe I'll bring
extra pickles!
ELINOR: [laughs]
OLIVE: We can't wait to go
exploring, Ranger Rabbit.
RANGER RABBIT:
Wonderful, Olive.
We'll be leaving the house
bright and early
tomorrow morning.
ARI: We'll be there!
ELINOR: Mom, what time are Ari
and Olive coming tomorrow?
And how long will it take to
get to Hidden Lake?
ELINOR: Is it really
hidden?
What's it like there?
RANGER RABBIT: My, you do
ask a lot of questions.
Actually, you know who
you remind me of?
ELINOR: Who?
RANGER RABBIT:
My friend Beatriz.
She asked a lot of questions
when she was little, too.
ELINOR: Really?
RANGER RABBIT: Yup.
I hope you get to meet
her on our trip.
But now it's time
to sleep.

MR. RABBIT: Well, I think
you kids are going to have...
a lot of fun this weekend.
ELINOR: How long will it
take to get there, Mom?
RANGER RABBIT:
Oh, not long.
We should get to Hidden
Lake by the afternoon.
MR. RABBIT: Hmm...
Oh, do you have the map?
RANGER RABBIT: Yup,
I have it right here.
ELINOR: Can we hold
on to the map, Mom?
RANGER RABBIT: Sure kids,
you could be the

ARI: Awesome!
ELINOR: Cool!

OLIVE: Are we going to
see new animals or bugs?
ELINOR: Or maybe
new plants?
RANGER RABBIT: Those are
great questions, kids.
ELINOR: [gasp]
Ari! Olive!
I think I figured
out one thing...
that asking questions is
good for.
ELINOR: Exploring!
Whenever we go exploring,
it's usually because we were
wondering about something.
OLIVE: Yeah, like what
are we going to find?
ARI: Or what are we
going to discover?
RANGER RABBIT: Huh,
you're right, Elinor.
Exploring often starts
with a question.

OLIVE: Okay, that's

Hidden Lake.
ELINOR: Look, there's a
river that goes into it...
and a river that
goes out of it...
all the way to Animal Town.
ARI: Hey wait a minute!
That's the creek where
we followed the frog.
ELINOR: And there's
a smaller creek...
that goes near the
trail we're on.
OLIVE: And that's where we have
to turn to get to the lake.
RANGER RABBIT: How are you
doing with the map, kids?
ARI: We're right on track,
Ranger Rabbit.
OLIVE: Yeah, we just
keep walking and then...
turn when we get
to a creek.
RANGER RABBIT: Okay!
ELINOR: Mom, did you say I
knew Beatriz when I was little?
RANGER RABBIT: Yup.
Beatriz and I have been friends
for a long time, Elinor.
In fact, I used to baby-sit
her when she was little.
ELINOR: Aww, really?
RANGER RABBIT:
You'll really like her.
She's an Inventor.
Inventors come up with new
things that solve a problem
or help you do something.
KIDS: Ohhh!
Awesome! Wow!
ARI: That is so cool.
Can she invent a marshmallow
making machine?
Bee boop...
Making marshmallows...
Need... Marshmallows.
Beep Boop.
Beep Boop.
ALL: [laughs]
OLIVE: I wonder if she can
invent a drawing machine.
ELINOR: But Olive, you
already are a drawing machine.
ARI: Yeah. You draw
all the time.
KIDS: [giggle]
OLIVE: You're right, I do.
ARI: [efforts]
RANGER RABBIT: Hmmm, I don't
remember this part of the trail
on the way to Hidden Lake.
ELINOR: Uh oh.
RANGER RABBIT: Can you
check the map, Olive?
OLIVE: We were supposed
to turn at the creek.
ELINOR: Hmmm.
I didn't see a creek.
ARI: Don't worry Robin,
we'll figure it out.
RANGER RABBIT: Hmm...
I'm sure we
just missed it.
Let's turn back.
[branch snaps]
ELINOR: What was that?
OLIVE: [gasp]
It's coming closer.
ARI: I'm so glad
you're here, Robin!
[toy squeak]
RANGER RABBIT: Hello?
Is someone there?
BEATRIZ: Oh, hello!
RANGER RABBIT: Beatriz??
BEATRIZ: [gasp]
Ranger Rabbit!?
No lo puedo creer!
I can't believe t!
RANGER RABBIT: [chuckle]
It's so good to see you!
BEATRIZ: [chuckle]
You got my letter!
Come here,
give me a hug!
RANGER RABBIT: Ooooh...
KIDS: Phew!
RANGER RABBIT: I should
introduce you.
Kids, this is Beatriz.
BEATRIZ: Hello!
Elinor, que preciosa!
Look at you,
all grown-up now!
I haven't seen you since
you were a little baby bunny!
ELINOR: [giggles]
Hi!
BEATRIZ: Oh, and
who do we have here?
ARI: I'm Ari!
Oh...
OLIVE: And I'm Olive.
BEATRIZ: Well, it's great to
meet ya, Ari and Olive.
ARI: So you
invent things?
BEATRIZ: Haha, yep!
I'm an inventor.
ARI: Hmm...
BEATRIZ: I invented
this for example.
BEATRIZ : And this!
KIDS: [gasp]
Whoa! Cool!
BEATRIZ: Yup!
I'm so glad I ran into you,
but what are you doing
all the way out here?
RANGER RABBIT: [sigh]
I think we took a wrong turn.
We were headed for the
camping area near Hidden Lake.
BEATRIZ: Ah, that's
where my camp is set up.
[gasp] Do you want to
camp together?
KIDS: Okay!
Yes please! Yeah!
BEATRIZ: Hmm... You were
supposed to turn at the creek.
Huh... [gasp]
I bet I know why
you missed it.
Come on.
RANGER RABBIT:
Ah, I see.
We missed the creek
because it's dry,
but... that's odd.
Creeks shouldn't be dry
this time of year.
BEATRIZ: I did notice
that a lot of the creeks...
on this side of
the lake are dry.
ELINOR: And we saw a dry
creek in Animal Town too.
RANGER RABBIT:
You're right, Elinor.
RANGER RABBIT: Huh...
BEATRIZ: Hmm...
BEATRIZ: Well should we go
back to the camp site?
KIDS: Sure! Ok! Yeah!
RANGER RABBIT: What brings
you to Hidden Lake, Beatriz?
BEATRIZ: Oh, I'm here to
get ideas from Nature...
for my inventions!
ELINOR: Ideas from Nature?
BEATRIZ: Oh, yes!
Nature is full of ideas!
For example, I got the
idea for this part...
When I was studying butterflies
in the jungle last summer...
BEATRIZ: I was out
exploring when I noticed,
butterflies have a long
mouth called a proboscis
that rolls up,
and I thought,
what a great way to
store something long!
BEATRIZ: But then
I thought, whoa,
how can I use it
to grab things?
So I looked for ideas in Nature,
and I learned that bird beaks
are really strong and good
for grabbing things,
so I made this part
just like a bird beak.
KIDS: Awesome! Cool!
RANGER RABBIT: Beatriz
was just like you, Elinor,
when she was a little girl.
She loved to ask
lots of questions...
ELINOR: Really?
Like me?
BEATRIZ: Yes,
and I still do.
Look!
And here we are,
Hidden Lake.
KIDS: Wow!
Ooooh!
BEATRIZ: Follow me
to the campsite!
ARI: Wow, I don't think
Beatriz could be any cooler!
BEATRIZ:
Oh, by the way,
I brought way too many
marshmallows with me.
Do you want to help
me eat them?
ARI: Ok, I was wrong.
Beatriz just got
way cooler.
KIDS: [laugh]
[♪♪♪]
[geese honking]
OLIVE: And they didn't
hear a sound...
But then, when they
opened the door...
ARI: [gasp]
OLIVE: It was just a
friendly butterfly.
The end.
ARI: Phew...
Ow.
OLIVE: [giggles]
RANGER RABBIT:
Great story, Olive.
BEATRIZ: Here you go, Ari.
ARI: Thanks!
ELINOR: What are you going
to invent next, Beatriz?
BEATRIZ: Oh, I'm glad
you asked, Elinor.
I'm trying to invent a new
kind of sticky tape.
So I'm here to get
ideas from frogs.
OLIVE: Oh,
we love frogs!
ELINOR: But...
Why frogs?
BEATRIZ: Because of
their tongues!
Mmmmm!
KIDS: [laugh]
BEATRIZ: Frogs have
very special tongues.
Oh, I know!
Why don't you come with me to
observe them tomorrow.
KIDS: Really?
Cool!
BEATRIZ: You do know
how to observe, right?
ELINOR: Yup! Observing
means using your senses,
like looking and listening, to
notice and learn about things.
BEATRIZ: That's right!
RANGER RABBIT:
Sounds like a plan.
Let's get some
rest now.
ARI: Yes!
ELINOR: This has been
an awesome trip so far, Mom.
I can't wait
until tomorrow.
RANGER RABBIT: Oh,
I'm glad, hunny bunny.
Have a good sleep.

Ah, but...
I used the last of my
rope for the tents.
BEATRIZ: That's
not a problem!
BEATRIZ: Take your pick!
KIDS: Wow! Cool!
RANGER RABBIT:
Hmm... there.
DEPUTY MOUSE: Ranger Rabbit...
come in, Ranger Rabbit.
RANGER RABBIT:
Hello, Deputy Mouse.
Is everything ok?
How is the road project?
DEPUTY MOUSE: Well, we've been
clearing up the sticks...
and branches to make room
for the new road, but...
we found a
really big log.
[efforts]
[sighs]
RANGER RABBIT: Oh, dear.
How big is it?
DEPUTY MOUSE: It's too
big for us to move.
It's even too big for Mrs.
Beaver to chomp through.
RANGER RABBIT: Hmm...
Ok, Deputy Mouse,
don't worry.
Let me see
what I can do.
DEPUTY MOUSE: Thank you,
Ranger Rabbit.
RANGER RABBIT: No problem,
talk to you soon.
ELINOR: Is
everything ok Mom?
RANGER RABBIT: It looks like
Deputy Mouse needs my help.
He's just up the river that
goes into Hidden lake.
BEATRIZ: If you need to
go, Ranger Rabbit,
I can take the kids
to look for frogs
while you help Deputy Mouse.
RANGER RABBIT:
Really, are you sure?
BEATRIZ: Of course!
You'll be nearby...
and we'll have an awesome
time exploring, right?
KIDS: Yeah!
RANGER RABBIT: Are you
kids okay with that?
ELINOR: Sure, mom.

KIDS: Me! Me!
OLIVE: C'mon let's go!
ARI: Woo-hoo!
ELINOR: Ribbit! Ribbit!
ELINOR: Where are we going
to look for frogs, Beatriz?
BEATRIZ: Well, your mom told me
there's a spot near the lake
that's always full of frogs.
It's called the Frog Bog.
[frogs croaking]
BEATRIZ: I think it's...
this way!
OLIVE: [gasp] Wow!
ARI: Ooh!
OLIVE: Your inventions
are so fun.
ARI: Yeah.
And you get your
ideas from Nature?
BEATRIZ: Yup.
You can find ideas
almost anywhere,
but I like to get my
ideas from Nature.
OLIVE: Why Nature, Beatriz?
BEATRIZ: Because Nature
is full of ideas!
Everywhere you look, Nature has
found a way to solve a problem
or invent something useful.
ELINOR: Like how you got the
idea for how your stick...
rolls up from butterflies?
BEATRIZ: Oh, yes! Exactly!
ARI: But how do
you get the ideas?
BEATRIZ: Well, you
just have to be curious!
ELINOR: Do you mean,
ask questions?
BEATRIZ: Mhmm, exactly!
If you have a problem, or if
you're just looking for ideas,
all you have to do is look
around and ask yourself...
BEATRIZ: "Why is
this like this?"
BEATRIZ: Or "How
does that work?"
And you might learn something
you didn't know before!
KIDS: Awesome!
Yeah! [laughs]
ELINOR: Hmm...
[gasp]
Ari! Olive!
That's something else that
asking questions is good for.
Asking questions is
good for getting ideas!
BEATRIZ: That's right,
Elinor!

ELINOR: Wow, Nature
really is full of ideas.
And now we know something
else asking questions
is good for: getting ideas!
BEATRIZ: You know, you said
that before, Elinor.
What did you mean?
ELINOR: Well, I always ask
a lot of questions.
But then I wondered why
I'm always wondering.
What is asking
questions good for?
ELINOR: But now I know.
Asking questions is
good for exploring
and it's good for
getting new ideas.
BEATRIZ: You're right,
asking questions...
is good for lots of
things, Elinor.
OLIVE: Beatriz!
The Frog Bog should be...
this way!
BEATRIZ: Well, what
are we waiting for?
Salten,
ranitas, salten!
KIDS: [giggle]
[♪♪♪]
OLIVE: Ok, this is where
Ranger Rabbit said
there should
be lots of frogs.
ELINOR: I don't
see any frogs.
ARI: Me neither.
BEATRIZ: Hmm. We are in
the right place.
OLIVE: How can we observe
frogs if we can't find any?
ARI: Maybe they're here but
we just can't see them.
ELINOR: Yeah, maybe we
just have to look for them.
C'mon, we need
more observations.
BEATRIZ: More observations?
I like that!
[♪♪♪]
ARI: Here's Ari, the World's
Greatest Super Frog Finder,
looking for frogs...
And he can't find any.
[gasp]
ELINOR: Hmm... the ground
seems kind of wet and squishy.
And all these plants
seem to be under water.
ARI: [gasp] I know, maybe
I'll try calling the frogs.
Here froggy-froggies!!
Where are you..!?
ELINOR: Ari...
this is where the
frogs live.
We have to be careful
not to bother them.
ARI: Oh. Right.
That's me.
Super Frog Finder Ari...
is super careful not
to-wh-whoaaaaa!
OLIVE: Oh no!
ELINOR: [gasp]
ELINOR: Ari, are you ok?
ARI: Blerrgh! I meant
to do that.
OLIVE: Ari!
You found a frog.
ARI: I did?
Where?
ELINOR: [giggle]
There!
BEATRIZ: Oh, Ari.
You're soaked!
ARI: Wow, thanks!
ELINOR: We only
found this one frog.
I mean, Ari did.
ARI: Ha! I am a
Super Frog Finder!
BEATRIZ: You sure are, Ari.
And now for my
favorite part...
observing Nature!
OLIVE: You like to
draw too, Beatriz?
BEATRIZ: Yep!
It's my favorite way to
record my observations.
OLIVE: [gasp]
Mine too!
BEATRIZ: C'mon,
let's observe!
KIDS: [giggle]
BEATRIZ: Okay this is why
I love observing frogs.
Just watch what
happens next.
Vamos, ranita, vamos....
ARI: Whoa!
ELINOR: Umm!
What just happened?
ELINOR: It happened
again!
ARI: The bugs were there...
and then they were gone!
ELINOR: I... think
the frog ate them.
OLIVE: Yes!
The frog stuck out its
tongue and caught the bugs.
ARI: Whoa, that
is so cool!
ELINOR: [gasp] I have
so many questions!
BEATRIZ: That's great!
That's how we get
ideas, remember?
Let's write what we
observe in the notebook.
BEATRIZ: Ok, what
are your questions?
ELINOR: Well, why does the frog
stick out its tongue like that?
BEATRIZ: Great question!
Why do you think?
ELINOR: Okay, the frog
wants to eat the bugs...
ARI: Yeah, but they're
too far away to catch...
with its arms or legs.
OLIVE: So it uses its long
tongue to reach them!
BEATRIZ: Oh,
good thinking!
ELINOR: Wow,
that's amazing.
OLIVE: Oh, how does the
tongue catch the bugs?
I didn't see
it grab them.
It just kind of...
stuck to them.
BEATRIZ: Actually,
Olive, that's the reason...
I came to study
these frogs.
BEATRIZ: Frogs have a
special goopy saliva,
that's the liquid
in their mouth,
that makes their
tongue extra sticky.
BEATRIZ: So I'm trying to invent
a glue or tape that's sticky
just like the frog's saliva.
ELINOR: Ohhh, that
is soooo interesting.
ARI: I have a question!
How does the frog stick
its tongue out so fast?
[efforts]
ELINOR: Yeah...
ARI: [efforts]
ELINOR: [giggles]
I can't do that.
OLIVE: I think I saw
how it did it!
OLIVE: The tongue
bent backwards first...
before it came out of
the frog's mouth.
BEATRIZ: Great observation,
Olive!
You're right, the frog
bends its tongue back,
and then uses its muscles
to throw it at the bug.
ELINOR: Wow, Nature
really is full of ideas.
BEATRIZ: Well, I got a lot of
amazing observations today,
[sigh] but I do wish there
were more frogs.
OLIVE: Yeah, Ranger Rabbit said
there'd be lots of frogs here.
ELINOR: I wonder...
Where did all the frogs go?
ELINOR: Hmm...
Beatriz, back in Animal Town,
we saw a green frog
that was lost because
the creek was really dry.
ELINOR: But it's
not dry here.
The plants sort of look
like they're under water.
OLIVE: Could that
be the problem?
Maybe there's
too much water?
OLIVE: Most frogs like places
with just the right amount...
...of water for them.
They get used to it, and
if it changes too quickly,
they don't like it.
ELINOR: That's it!
Maybe there's too much
water for the frogs,
and that's why
they're not here.
ARI: Yeah, I wouldn't like it if
my house filled up with water.
But then again,
I'm not a frog.
BEATRIZ: Huh,
you might be right.
It looks like all this
extra water is new,
and that would explain why
there aren't any frogs.
BEATRIZ: But where is
the water coming from?
OLIVE: [gasp]... could it
be coming from the lake?
BEATRIZ: Hmmm...
But why?
OLIVE: Aww, poor frogs.
If this is their home, then
where are they going to go?
ELINOR: Hmm...
We have to help
the frogs.
KIDS: Yeah!
BEATRIZ: You're right,
Elinor.
BEATRIZ: Let's go
back to the lake...
and see if we can
figure out...
where all this water
is coming from.
[♪♪♪]
[frog croaks]
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
BEATRIZ: Okay, I think I
know what's happening.
BEATRIZ: There's too
much water in the lake,
and some of it is spilling
over to the frog bog.
That's why there's
extra water there,
which the frogs
do not like.
ELINOR: Yeah, the lake
is definitely too full.
ARI: But why does the
lake have too much water?
BEATRIZ: I don't know.
OLIVE: Dun dun dun,
it's a mystery.
A watery mystery.
ELINOR: Maybe it's
been raining a lot?
BEATRIZ: Good suggestion, but it
hasn't rained here in a while.
ARI: Ooh, I know!
Maybe a giant is pouring
water into the lake...
from a giant bucket.
BEATRIZ: [chuckle]
Also a good suggestion, Ari...
But do you see any giants?
ARI: Mmm, no.
KIDS: Hmm...
ELINOR: I know.
Let's observe the lake
and see if we can
figure it out.
OLIVE: Great idea, Elinor.
I'll draw the lake
in my notebook.
BEATRIZ: Yes!
We need more
observations!
ELINOR: [giggle]
ELINOR: Hmm, I don't see
anything that would make
the lake have
too much water.
ARI: Me neither.
OLIVE: Ohhh,
not again!
ELINOR: What's wrong,
Olive?
OLIVE: [sigh] I'm trying
to draw the lake...
but it keeps changing.
ELINOR: Huh?!
OLIVE: Those sticks
keep moving,
and I have to start
all over again.
ELINOR: Whoa, look at all those
sticks floating in the water.
ARI: They all seem to
be going that way.
ELINOR: That's
so interesting.
I wonder where
they're going.
BEATRIZ: What do you
think we should do?
ELINOR: [gasp] Let's
follow the sticks.
C'mon!
OLIVE: Look, I see more
and more sticks floating.
ARI: Where are they
all coming from?
ELINOR: Huh,
there they go.
But where are
they going?
BEATRIZ: Hmm?
Qué es eso?
Hold on, I hear something.
ARI: Is it the giant?
BEATRIZ: Hmm,
follow me.
BEATRIZ: Oh, I thought
I heard water trickling.
It's trying to get
through those sticks.
ELINOR: That's where they
all the sticks are going!
OLIVE: Yeah, they're
floating down the lake
and getting stuck
on those rocks.
ARI: Look at that big pile!
It's stopping most of the
water from getting through.
ELINOR: Maybe that's why there's
too much water in the lake.
ELINOR: The sticks are
blocking the water...
from going to the river, so
the water stays in the lake.
ARI: Ohhh... just
like my bathtub.
OLIVE: Your bathtub??
ARI: Yeah, if I put the
plug in the drain,
the water can't get out
and the tub fills up.
OLIVE: Oh, the lake
is like your bathtub,
and this river is
like the drain.
BEATRIZ: Fantástico!
I think you kids
figured it out.
BEATRIZ: Okay!
There's water coming
into the lake,
but the sticks are blocking
the water from going out,
so the water stays
in the lake.
ELINOR: And that's why there's
too much water in the lake.
OLIVE: Which is making the
frogs' home fill up with water.
BEATRIZ: That could be why the
creeks you saw before are dry.
The sticks are blocking the
water from getting to them.
ELINOR: We have to
get the sticks out.
OLIVE: Yeah, they're changing
the frogs' homes here...
and in Animal Town!
ARI: We have to un-stick
the situation!
KIDS: [giggle]
BEATRIZ: I think I might
know where the sticks
are coming from.
BEATRIZ: Ranger Rabbit?
Come in, Ranger Rabbit.
[walkie-talkie static]
RANGER RABBIT: Hi Beatriz,
is everything ok?
BEATRIZ: Everything
is fine...
But, the kids and I have
discovered a problem.
RANGER RABBIT: Oh?
What is it?
BEATRIZ: There are a lot
of sticks in the lake...
and they're blocking the
water from going to the river.
RANGER RABBIT: Hmm, that would
explain why the creeks were dry.
BEATRIZ: Yes, and it's also
causing the Frog Bog to flood.
Ranger Rabbit, did you say
you're moving a lot of sticks
for the new road?
RANGER RABBIT:
Why, yes, but...
Oh, I see.
The sticks are falling
into the river...
and floating down
to the lake.
RANGER RABBIT: We'll move
the stick pile right away.
That should stop any more
sticks from going down...
to block the water.
BEATRIZ: Great, thank
you Ranger Rabbit!
BEATRIZ: Okay, your mom is
going to stop any more sticks
from coming to the lake.
OLIVE: Phew!
But...
what do we do about the
sticks that are already here?
ELINOR: We need to find a
way to get them out...
so the water can
go through again.
BEATRIZ: Hmm, but how
do we reach them?
ARI: I could fly over
and pull them?
BEATRIZ: [chuckle] Thanks, Ari,
but that might not be safe.
OLIVE: I have an idea!
Maybe you can use your invention
to get the sticks, Beatriz.
BEATRIZ: You mean
the grabber?
Let's try it!
ELINOR: Aww,
it's too short!
BEATRIZ: That's ok.
Not every idea works.
We just need to
keep trying.
ELINOR: Hey!
I wonder if asking
questions can help.
Asking questions is
good for exploring,
and it's good for
getting ideas...
Maybe it's good for
solving problems, too.
BEATRIZ: Yes!
Asking questions
is very helpful...
when you're trying to
solve a problem.
Let's do it!
BEATRIZ: Okay, the first
question you should ask is,
"What's the problem?"
KIDS: Hmm...
OLIVE: [gasp], I can draw
it on my notebook!
OLIVE: We need to
move the sticks,
but we're here and the
sticks are way over there.
It's too far for
us to reach.
BEATRIZ: That's
great Olive,
it always helps to
draw the problem.
Now the next step is to come
up with ideas for solving it.
What can we use to
reach the sticks?
ELINOR: We could try
to be the frog!
The frog used its tongue
to reach the bugs...
that were far away.
OLIVE: Yes!
ARI: Whoa-whoa-whoa wait,
you think we need to use...
our tongues to
get the sticks?
KIDS: [giggle]
ARI: [effort]
[coughs]
I am not doing that.
OLIVE: I think Elinor means we
need to make Beatriz's invention
a lot longer, just like
the frog's tongue.
BEATRIZ: Ah ha!
An idea from Nature!
Me encanta!
I love it!
ELINOR: But how can we
make your grabber longer?
ELINOR: Wait, I know!
Beatriz, do you still have those
ropes in your backpack?
BEATRIZ: I sure do.
ELINOR: Maybe we can use a
rope to help the grabber...
reach the sticks?
ARI: Now it's really long,
like a frog's tongue.
BEATRIZ: Fantástico!
Let's see how
it works.
BEATRIZ: 1... 2.... 3...!
OLIVE: Aww. It
still doesn't reach.
I really thought that
was going to work.
ARI: Me too.
ELINOR: We can't
give up.
The frogs need
our help.
Let's keep trying!
BEATRIZ: Elinor's right,
let's keep trying.
ELINOR: What other
question can we ask?
ARI: We could ask how
the frog does it?
How does it get its
tongue so far out?
BEATRIZ: That's it, Ari.
To learn from Nature, it's
important to ask how...
and why something does
the thing it does.
OLIVE: Wait, I
have my drawing.
OLIVE: The frog bent
its tongue back...
and then the tongue
went flying out.
ELINOR: How can
we do that?
ARI: Hmmm...
Good question...
Woah!
ELINOR: Did you see that?
The tree bent back and
pushed Ari up into the air.
OLIVE: Just like
the frog's tongue!
Maybe we can use the tree to
throw our grabber to the sticks?
BEATRIZ: Ah!
It's a Nature
inspired invention!
BEATRIZ: Ok, everyone
help me pull.
ALL: [efforts]
ELINOR: Yes! It worked!
[giggle]
ALL: [efforts]
ARI: Nnnngh!
We have to pull harder!
ALL: [efforts]
OLIVE: It came loose!
KIDS: Awesome!
Yes!
ELINOR: Let's pull
another stick!
ALL: [efforts]
ALL: [efforts]
ELINOR: All the sticks
are falling down!
OLIVE: And the water's
getting through!
ALL: [cheer] Woo-hoo!
Awesome! Yay!
ELINOR: We should
tell my mom.
BEATRIZ: Yes!
Ranger Rabbit, come in,
Ranger Rabbit!
RANGER RABBIT:
Hi Beatriz!
How's it going
down there?
BEATRIZ: Together with
my super team of inventors,
we moved the sticks, and the
water is flowing again.
RANGER RABBIT: Wow,
how did you do it?
ELINOR: We did it by
asking questions.
Questions are good
for exploring,
for getting ideas,
and for solving problems.
BEATRIZ: And where did we
get all these great ideas?
KIDS: From Nature!
RANGER RABBIT:
That's amazing.
I can't wait to hear
about it tonight.
I'll help Deputy
Mouse finish here...
and meet you back
at the campsite.
BEATRIZ: Roger that,
Ranger Rabbit.
See you tonight.
ELINOR: Bye mom!
KIDS: We did it!
Yeah!
BEATRIZ: Yep!
You all asked such
great questions,
and that helped us come up
with ideas and solutions!
I am so proud of you!!
OLIVE: I think there's less
water in the lake now.
ELINOR: The frogs!
Come on!
Let's go check
on them.
KiDS: Yeah!
Okay!
[♪♪♪]
ELINOR: Look, now you can
see more of the plants.
OLIVE: Yeah, it
looks like it has...
just the right
amount of water.
[frog croaks]
[frog croaks]
ARI: [gasp]
We did it!
The frogs are
coming back!
ELINOR: Welcome
home, froggies.
ELINOR: Wow, I can't
believe those sticks...
made such a big change.
BEATRIZ: It's true.
When something
happens in one place,
it can change things for plants
and animals in other places.
Everything is connected in
Nature, even us.
ARI: Ahhh...
BEATRIZ: That's why we need to
help Nature whenever we can,
especially when we're the
ones that caused the change.
C'mon! Let's get back
to the campsite!
KIDS: Yeah! Okay! Yeah!
ELINOR: [giggles]
RANGER RABBIT: [giggles]
[birds chirping]
RANGER RABBIT: All right, I
think we're ready to go.
ELINOR: Where are you
going now, Beatriz?
BEATRIZ: Wherever
Nature takes me.
I just ask questions
and explore!
RANGER RABBIT: [laughs]
Kids, I think this might be...
a good time to say good
bye to Beatriz.
BEATRIZ: Well, I had a lot of
fun exploring with all of you.
It was great to
meet you, Ari.
ARI: Yeah, me too.
[gasp] Ooh, I have an
idea for a new invention.
BEATRIZ: What is it?
ARI: Pickles with
marshmallows...
BEATRIZ: Ooh, let me
know how that turns out.
And it was so nice to
meet you too, Olive.
Did you finish your
drawing of the lake?
OLIVE: Sure did.
Look!
OLIVE: And that's us!
Exploring!
BEATRIZ: Que bello.
It's beautiful.
ELINOR: That's amazing,
Olive.
BEATRIZ: I hope you two keep
having interesting ideas...
and keep drawing.
ARI: We will!
BEATRIZ: And it was really
special to see you, Elinor.
You're so grown up.
I hope you had fun
on this trip.
ELINOR: [giggle]
Yes, I learned so much.
Especially about
asking questions.
BEATRIZ: Well, I hope you
never stop wondering.
It's always good to listen
to that little voice...
inside all of us that wants
to know why things happen
and how things work.
ELINOR: We all have a
little bit of wonder inside.
BEATRIZ: We sure do.
So never stop
asking questions!
Who knows, maybe you'll
grow up to be a scientist,
or a Ranger like
your mom.
ELINOR: Or an inventor,
like you!
BEATRIZ: You can be anything...
you set your curious
mind to, Elinor.
That's for sure.
ARI: Bye Beatriz!
ELINOR: Bye Beatriz!
OLIVE: Bye!
ARI: Good luck on
your next invention!
BEATRIZ: Adios!
See ya!
ARI: Remember...
OLIVE: Bye!
ARI: ...pickles and
marshmallows.
ELINOR: See you later.
Goodbye Beatriz.
RANGER RABBIT: Did you
have fun, Elinor?
ELINOR: I sure did Mom!
I learned that asking questions
is good for lots of things.
It's good for exploring,
for getting ideas...
and it's good for
solving problems.
RANGER RABBIT: Yes,
asking questions is wonderful.

you mean?
ELINOR: They have
