Snout doesn't want to

ride a bike today.

It's too hard and he's scared.

I am too.

Don't worry, Snout.

We can be big wombats

another day.

Aww, it's okay.

Riding a bike without training

wheels just takes practice.

ZADIE:

Yeah!

But just think of all the fun

you can have when you learn!

Like what?

Let's show him what

he'll be able to do

once he gets

the hang of it.

Great idea!

Zeke, check it out!

He wasn't even watching us.

He was pretending

to be a superhero.

I wish he was pretending

to be a superhero

who gets rid of

his training wheels.

Hey, that's it!

If we turn Zeke into

a brave superhero,

he wouldn't be scared

to ride his bike.

Excellent!

Now all we have to do

is concoct a secret formula

to turn Zeke into a superhero!

Or we could make

Zeke a costume

so he can pretend

to be a superhero?

Yep, that could work too.

Hey, Zeke?

You wanna be

a superhero?

A really brave one

who loves to ride his bike

without training wheels?

Yes! Whoo-hoo!

There!

Hm, there's gotta be something

in these old clothes

we can use to make

a superhero costume.

Okay, where do we start?

Super powers!

All superheroes have powers.

Like flying through the air!

Whoosh!

On it.

Time to find that

secret flying formula!

Or we make a pretend cape out

of something in all this stuff?

Yeah, that could work too.

Mighty Zeke will fly through

the air thanks to his...

mighty cape!

♪ Ra-ta-ta-ta ♪

Oof!

Whoa!

Oops.

Sorry, Mr. E.

Don't worry, Zeke,

we'll find you something

to make your

mighty cape out of.

Then, you'll be able

to swoop around stuff

before bumping into it.

Ifwe ever find something!

I wanna help!

Hey, this blanket would

make a perfect cape.

Uh... we need something

to hold it in place.

LEIKO:

I have something!

Oof.

Uh... help?

I'm stuck.

Whoa!

Sorry, Mr. E.

The cape's too long.

It made Zeke trip.

ZADIE:

I know!

What if we improved the cape

by making it shorter,

so it won't get tangled up

in Zeke's feet?

Can I borrow this?

Please and thanks!

Huh?

Zeke, lay down so I can

mark where to cut.

♪ ♪

Done!

♪ Ra-ta-ta-ta ♪

It worked!

What comes next?

A mask!

So Mighty Zeke can see

really, really far

and not ride

into anything.

Whoa!

Uh... here's something!

That's a hat,

not a mask.

Not if we cut it!

♪ ♪

I can't see!

How am I supposed to ride

my bike if I can't see?

Freeze!

I got an idea!

We need to cut eyeholes!

Go ahead, Zeke!

Try it out!

(stilted):

Can't-- I'm still frozen.

Sorry! Unfreeze!

How's it feel, Zeke?

Better, but I still can't see

that good.

Okie doke.

It just needs

a little more improving.

♪ ♪

ZEKE:

Bigger eyeholes!

I can see much better!

What else does

the Mighty Zeke need?

Super strength!

So I can hold on super tight

to the handlebars

when I ride around.

We're gonna need...

These!

Super gloves!

Yay!

Ooh!

Uh, sorry, Mr. E.

These gloves are too big.

We need to improve them

so they stay on.

We can tape

the gloves on!

Test them out again,

Zeke.

There's just one

little thing missing.

A sidekick!

Super Snout!

Yay, yay, yay!

(laughs)

Whoa!

Is that a superhero?

It's me! Zeke!

(gasps)

You're kidding!

We used a blanket for my cape,

and improved it

by making it shorter

so I wouldn't trip.

Uh-huh...

Then we made a mask

out of a hat.

We cut eyeholes

but they weren't big enough

so we made them bigger

so I could see.

Oh...

Then we made super gloves

and taped them on

so they wouldn't fall off

and land on Mr. E's head!
