- Hi, Prince Tuesday.

- Hey!
- Are you here to babysit me?

- I sure am, Little D!
- That's right!

Because Mom Tiger and I are
going out dancing.

Ha-cha-chaaaa!
[Mom Tiger laughing]

- Dad and I will be gone
for a little while,

and Prince Tuesday will take
care of you until we come
back home.

- This is going to be
a royally fun night!

- Oh. OK. But...

I don't want you to go.
I'm going to miss you.

- I understand. We're going
to miss you too.

But we'll come back.

- And you'll give Tigey
a kiss too?

- Yes. A very fuzzy kiss
for Tigey too!

Mm, mm. Fuzzy.

- Grr-yeah! My neighbour
and I are playing Jungle!

- A royal hello!

- Come see! Put on
your binoculars.

- OK. Whoa!

I see slithery snakes
in the river!

Prince Wednesday LOVES snakes,
but I don't.

What are we gonna do?
- Come on! Let's explore!

We have to jump
on the pillow islands,

but don't worry,
Tigey will go first.

Good Luck.

Nice work, Tigey!

Let's go! Jump with me!

- Watch out for that snake!
- Exploring...

- Whoa!
- Grr! This is like
a real jungle adventure!

- This is unbelievable. Woo!

Whoa. Nice place
you've got here!

- Thanks!
[Daniel yawning]

- Uh-oh, Daniel. It's almost
your jungle bedtime.

- Oh. Are you sure?

Jungle tigers probably
never need to sleep.

[Tuesday chuckling]
- I'm sure Daniel Tigers
definitely need to sleep.

but we'll go through the jungle
on the way to your room,

so watch out for snakes!

- Ah! Look out for that snake!
- Whoa, I see a big one!

- Whoa! We made it!
- Phew!

[Daniel singing]

- OK, Jungle Daniel,
here are your pyjamas.

- Wait! Mom and Dad always let
me pick out my own pyjamas.

- OK, which pyjamas
do you want to wear?

- My trolley pyjamas.

Which ones are
my trolley pyjamas?

[chiming]

Here they are.

I'm going to put them on myself
in the bathroom.

Oh, you're right.
I don't see him.

without Tigey!

Do you know where Tigey is?

- No. Do you know
where he is?

- No! Mom and Dad would always
know where Tigey is!

it's REALLY time for bed.

Good night, Jungle Daniel
and Jungle Tigey.

and I was sad,

but Prince Tuesday helped me
find him,

and he was in the cave
all along.

[Daniel yawning]

- My goodness.

Sounds like Tigey had
quite an adventure.

He must be sleepy too.
Muah. Fuzzy kiss.
