MALIK: Treeborhood Harvest Day.

[singing]

[humming]

ZADIE: The road in this town

is going to be really twisty.

Zeke, did you not know

this sticker means "library"?

The library goes by the big, big tree.

Come on, Zadie.

Ride bikes with me.

It's too nice to be inside.

I want to play town.

Ask Sammy, or JunJun.

[sighs]: I did.

They're busy.

If today was Harvest Day, then we'd all be outside.

What's Harvest Day?

You don't remember from last year?

Mm-mm.

I remember from last year.

There's a carrot and a tomato,

then they dance and look at the moon...

Actually, Harvest Day comes once a year,

and it's the best day

because everyone stops being busy

and goes outside to pick vegetables.

And we cook a giganto meal and eat it,

and play in the Thankfulness Bowl.

Because mainly, it's a day for being thankful.

Ooh, ooh, ooh! Let's have a Harvest Day!

When is it?

You never know when it'll be.

It's up to Kat and Kit.

Whenever they think the vegetables

at the Sow'n'Grow are ripe and ready to pick,

they'll blow the Harvest...

[nose blowing on intercom]

...Horn. [gasps]

Did you hear that? My wish came true.

ALL: It's Harvest Day!

ZADIE AND LOUISA: Yay!

MALIK: Hurry, get your bikes!

I'll meet you at the Sow'n'Grow.

Mr. E [on intercom]: Howdy, folks, Mr. E here.

[blowing nose]

Just blowing my nose.

[blowing, chuckles]

Speaking of noses, be sure to blow your honker...

[blows]

...on an Eezy-Sneezy.

Best hanky you'll ever own, on sale

this week.

[groans]

Perfect shade of red.

Just the right amount of squish.

And the smell... [inhales]

Oh, earth... [inhales deeply]

...with a touch of plum and sun. [kisses]

KIT: The tomatoes are ripe.

KAT: Right length.

Perfect snap.

The pole beans are ripe.

Everything is ripe and ready to eat.

You know what that means.

BOTH: Time to blow the Harvest Horn.

[inhales deeply]

[horn blows loudly]

Is that the for real Harvest Horn?

Nah.

I bet it's Mr. E selling party trumpets.

SUPER: Got my hat ready to go.

Hurry, kiddos-- it's Harvest Day.

BOTH: For real?

ALL: ♪ It's a day that we wait for

♪ A day we hold so dear MALIK AND ZADIE: ♪ So dear

ALL: ♪ Our Harvest Day, our thankful day ♪

♪ That comes just once a year

♪ So sing yay

♪ For Harvest Day

♪ Sing it loud and clear

♪ On such a yummy day

KAT:Hello

and welcome to Harvest Day.

We have here your picking assignments.

Our family will dig the sweet potatoes

and harvest the pumpkins.

[cheering]

Ellie, you're in charge of pole beans and callaloo.

Yay!

Super, Zadie, Zeke, Malik,

you're pulling up the carrots and onions.

[cheering]Hot-diggity!

Sammy and Quique, shake the plantains.

Yay!Yeah!

Louisa, Duffy, Leiko,

you'll hop till you drop

those shiitake mushrooms into the baskets.

LOUISA: Woo-hoo!

Mr. E, you'll pick the tomatoes.

All right!

Amado and Gabriela, your family can harvest the kangkong.

[cheering]

Everyone, grab a basket,

get set...

[imitates drum roll]

...and harvest!

Oh, dear-- oh!What is this?

Oh.I can't see a thing.

What happened?

Where'd the sun go?

Do you not know about fog, Zeke?

It's like a cloud that's down on the ground.

Fog's so thick I can't see my own hand.

Ooh, there it is. [chuckles]

Careful, everyone.

Try not to step on any veggies.

[tomato splats]

ZADIE: Sorry, I smooshed a tomato.

[tomato splats]MR. E: Ooh!

There went another one.

Okay, okay, come back, everyone.

Follow the sound of my voice.

Now, gather round, here.

Over here!

It's too dangerous for the veggies

to try and harvest in a fog.

Gotta sit tight till the fog's all gone.

What happens if the fog doesn't go?

Will we have to cancel Harvest Day?

Well, I hate to say it,

maybe.

[all exclaim and groan]

I only just found out about Harvest Day,

and now it's canceled?

No fair.

If only our eyes could see through fog.

Wait a minute!

We sell fog goggles at the Everything Emporium.

Fog goggles, get your fog goggles!

Guaranteed to see through any thickness of fog.

Well, they don't actually sell,

'cause no one ever buys them,

but I have them.

I might need help finding them.

BOTH: We'll help.Great!

Now, where's that zip line?

[Mr. E crashes, yelps]Mr. E!

Are you okay?

MR. E [weakly]: I'm good-- no worries.

[all cheering]

[Zadie and Malik crash]

MR. E: Ow!

Back in a jiff with the goggles, folks.

[crashes]: Ooh!

[door thudding]

Now to find those goggles.

Where did I put them? Hmm.

To the Deep Six! Follow me!

The what?

[elevator bell dings]

♪ Down, down

♪ Six floors below the ground ♪

[elevator bell dings]This way-- hurry, hurry!

No time to lose.BOTH: Whoa.

MALIK: What is this?

MR. E:This is my Deep Six storage facility,

where I keep items that don't sell.

Like fog goggles.

And Sparkle Mitts.

You've got ten zillion boxes of Sparkle Mitts.

boxes, to be precise.

I don't exactly remember where I stored the fog goggles.

But I do know that every box

has a symbol on the front showing what's inside.

I designed the symbols myself.

Uh, what's the symbol for fog goggles?

Oh, that I do not know.

If the symbol for Sparkle Mitts is a sparkly mitten,

then the symbol for fog goggles...

Probably looks like goggles or glasses, right?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Hmm-- there!

That symbol totally looks like goggles.

[grunting]: I can't reach!

MR. E: No worries.

Just... [screams]

Uh, eek?

I'll save you, Mr. E.

That symbol looks like a blanket.

Pillows? Even better.

[Mr. E yelling]

[grunts]

Ah, goggles on the box, goggles in the box.

Call me a genius, I won't object.

What?

So that's where I put all my eights.

For mailboxes and house addresses.

I probably should store my boxes of eights this way,

so can I tell they're numbers and not goggles.

I don't see anything that looks goggle-y.

I wonder if I made a symbol for fog

instead of for goggles.

Let me think, hmm...

Could you think a little bit faster, Mr. E?

Our friends are waiting.

LOUISA: ♪ Fog, fog, go away

♪ You're kind of wrecking Harvest Day ♪

[all murmuring]

Fog, fog, you went away!

Time to jump and yell hooray!

[cheering]

KAT: Everyone, grab a basket and harvest!

[groans] Oh, no, it's back.

You got to be kidding me.

How about this?

Could this be the symbol for fog?

[nose blowing]

Nope, that's the symbol for sneeze.

As in Eezy-Sneezies.

The hankie no one will buy

because it's so tickly, it makes you sneeze even more.

[sighs]

Mr. E?

I am upset. Vexed! Annoyed!

Whose idea was fog?

Is there any excuse for fog?

There is not!

You listen to me, fog.

Not only are you ruining Harvest Day,

but you've stuck me with fog goggles

I can't sell or even find!

What about this gray frowny face?

How could that be a symbol for fog?

ZADIE: 'Cause it kind of looks like Mr. E's face

when he's talking about fog.

Yes.

And the frown is gray because fog is gray.

Do these two dots mean eyes?

Yes-- eyes because you can see

through the fog.

That's it!

That's my symbol for fog goggles!

I am % positive.

[cheers]

Anyone got a song to sing?

Something nice and peppy?

JUNJUN [slowly]: ♪ This fog is so bad

♪ It is making me sad

MALIK: We're back! With goggles.

MR. E: Stick out your hands, and we'll give you a pair.

KAT: Amazing!

Oh, I can see.

[cheers]

Great work, everyone.

We've successfully harvested all the fruits and veggies

in the Sow'n'Grow Garden.

[cheering]

Now comes the best part: the harvest feast and festivities.

[cheering]

Over there, let's get things set up to cook.

And over there, we can play...

The greatest sports event of the year,

the Treeborhood Thankfulness Bowl!

Let's do this!

[whistles]

[shouting]: It's time to start creating

the traditional Treeborhood Yummy Tummy Stew!

[cheers]

I love that stew!

I've been looking forward to it all year.

But first, we pick the official taste tester for the stew.

Right, Grandma?

That's right.

The taste tester has a very important job.

They make sure the stew is the yum-yum-yummiest it can be.

MR. E: Which means, one,

the vegetables need to be in bite-sized pieces.

Two, the stew can't be too thick or too thin.

And, three, the veggies must be fully cooked,

so they're soft enough for a fork to stick into them.

I've longed to be the taste tester my entire life.

I wrote down everybody's names on these slips of paper,

and whoever's name I pick is this year's taste tester.

This year, the taste tester is...

Pick me, pick me, pick me.

Mr. E.

[cheers]

Rah, rah, sis, boom, ba, yay, me, Mr. E!

[gasps]

SUPER: This is the spoon every taste tester has used

since the very first

Traditional Treeborhood Yummy Tummy Stew was made.

Oh...

Now to pick the official stew chef.

The Treeborhoodian who will create the stew

and make sure it's up to the taste tester's standards is...

Zeke.

Yes!

We're a team, Mr. E.

[chuckles]: Yes.

Zeke, I present to you

the official Treeborhood Harvest's chef's hat.

[sniffs]: It smells old.

Now you get to pick a helper, Zeke.

Who are you gonna choose?

Helper, helper, who do I choose?

Helper, helper, I choose you.

Louisa.

You're my helper.

LOUISA: Yippee!

We'll keep an eye on the fire for you.

The rest of us will play in the...

[imitates bugle fanfare]

Annual Treeborhood Thankfulness Bowl!

[cheering]

Okay, divide yourselves into two teams.

Team Corncob on this side.

Team Carrot on that side.

♪

As all of you play,

I shall sit on the sidelines in my official taste tester chair.

[yelping]

[exhales]

Mr. E, you could also be referee.

When someone scores, you play a happy sound.

[chord plays]

And if they mess up...

[buzzer buzzes]

...you're out of bounds.

[buzzer buzzing]

Everyone remember the rules to the Thankfulness Bowl?

You must pass the ball to every one of your teammates

and say something you're thankful for.

Then, the last player hits it into the basket.

The tricky part is,

the other team can try to grab the ball

as you pass it. [chuckles]

You see? It's tricky.

[plays chord]

What should we do first, Chef Zeke?

Maybe we ought to wash the veggies before we cook 'em?

[whooping]: I love when this happens.

The veggies are now all clean.

To create the Traditional Treeborhood Yummy Tummy Stew,

it has every kind of veggie we harvested: plantains,

pole beans, callaloo,

kangkong, shiitake mushrooms...

LOUISA: ...carrots, sweet potatoes,

and tomatoes.

I'm thankful for friendships.

Amado, I'm thankful you tend to the Treeborhood.

I'm thankful I just scored.

[laughs]

[plays chord, bell dings]

Taste test time, Mr. E.

[buzzer buzzes]

Mm, I'm sorry, Zeke, this won't do.

The veggies are too big.

I can't even get this sweet potato in my mouth.

As official taste tester,

I insist the veggies be chopped into bite-sized pieces,

so that they fit in our mouths.

We need to improve our stew

by cutting all the veggies into bite-sized pieces.

We can chop them.

We have built-in choppers.

Here we go.

[both murmuring]

And I'm thankful for this.

Yes!

Score![bell dings, chord plays]

Taste test time, Mr. Taste Tester.

[swallows]

Ew, it's too thick.

Remember, the stew can't be too thick.

We don't want a chewy stewy.

Try again-- you can do it!

We need to improve the stew and make it not so thick.

But how?

Thinking positions.

Hey, remember when we made mud pies,

and the mud was too thick to mash?

ZEKE: Yeah, we added water

to make the mud thinner and gooier so we could mash it.

Let's see if adding water makes the stew thinner.

KIT AND KAT: Stop! You'll put out the fire!

The stew looks thinner with all the water in it.

Let's see what Mr. E thinks.

Duffy, I'm thankful for all the yummy cupcakes you bake.

[grunts]

And I'm thankful...

[grunts]

Well, not for that.

[buzzer buzzes]

Mr. Taste Tester.

Taste it out.

It's really, really, really good.

[slurps]

[yelps, buzzer buzzes]

This stew is far too thin and watery.

First, you said it was too thick.

Now it's too thin?

Mr. E, can you not make up your mind?

Remember?

The stew can't be too thick or too thin.

Is the stew the yum-yum- yummiest it can be?

Nope. [both groan]

Well, how can we improve it?

What can we do?

We need to make it thick, but not too thick.

How do we do that?

Hmm.

Maybe we can make it thicker if we add thicker vegetables?

Let me see.

Ewie! Tomato gooey on my foot.

That tomato goo looks pretty thick.

Let's add more tomatoes to the stew to thicken it.

♪

That looks much, much thicker.

Carly, I'm grateful your family

grew all the veggies for the harvest.

[grunts]

Yay!All right!

[chord plays, bell dings]

Taste tester.

Test this out.

Ooh, this definitely is not too thick or too thin.

Let's see if it passes the fork test.

Excellent, indeed.

The veggies are fully cooked.

But how does it taste? [slurps]

This is the yum-yum-yummiest

Traditional Treeborhood Yummy Tummy Stew ever created!

One, the vegetables are in bite-size pieces.

Two, the stew isn't too thick or too thin, and three,

the veggies are fully cooked, so they're soft enough

for a fork to stick into them.

It's time to chow down!

Yay![plays chord]

Final score: Corncobs three, Carrots three.

It's a tie!

[cheering]

KIT: Perfect.

Before we feed our faces,

Louisa and I want to say

we are very thankful and happy and glad

that we live in the Treeborhood with all of you.

'Cause did you not know we love you?

[sniffles]

That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.

I believe I speak for everyone when I say,

did you not know we love you, too?

[all cheering]

Now let's eat.
