Yes, I'm okay. I'm okay

Wartz, that was amazing.

Really? You think so?

I kinda lost control at the end...

Oh, no, you were great.

You must be the best vine-swinging tree frog ever.

Really?

Of course we don't know any other frogs that swing on vines.

You're cool, Wartz.

[ gasps ]: I'm cool?

You really, really think so?

We both think so, Wartz.

Go ahead ask him, Winslow.

No, you ask him.No, you ask him.

No you. You.

Ask me what?

Um, we want you to sleep over at our house.

Can you?

Oh, it'll be so much fun.

Me? You want me to sleep over?

Oh, yes! Wow! Wow! Yes!

This is the very first sleepover ever.

Uh, what do I do?

Why don't you go get your things

and then meet us at our house, okay?Okay.

A sleepover... wow.

[ groans]

Wartz, are you ok?

I'm okay. I am... really?

He's getting much better at that.Yeah.

Whoa, great clouds.

Oh, hey there.

I didn't see you at first.

Were you looking at the clouds, too?

See those very tall, puffy gray ones?

Did you ever notice them in the sky before a storm?

Those clouds mean a storm is coming.

A storm is coming?

Oh hey, Bob. Sure looks like it.

Soon?

Could be.

Oh I better hide... I don't like storms.

Oh... Uh, Bob?

Want to come out?

You don't have to hide from the storm.

Oh, yes, I do.

Hiding is good.

What if there's thunder and... and lightning?

Maybe if you understand what thunder and lightning are,

you won't feel so scared.

You see, Bob, inside those tall, gray clouds are little...

Snook. Guess what?

I'm having my very first sleepover with Winslow and Smooch.

Um, Bob, why are you under the table?

I'm hiding from the thunderstorms.

I'm scared.

There's room under here if you want to hide, too.

Bob, please come out.

There's no need to be afraid.

A thunderstorm? That's terrible.

Mm-hmm. Lightning looks so scary,

and thunder sounds so loud-- like a big, scary animal

with really big nasty, sharp pointy teeth!

Hide! Everybody hide!

SNOOK: Oh, Bob, thunder isn't

a big, scary jagged-toothed animal at all.

Just let me explain...

Um, Maybe this isn't the best time

for my very, very first sleepover.

Maybe I shouldn't sleep over at all.

Sleepover? Wartz, wait.

Uh, Snook, I think I might have made Wartz a little worried.

♪ When your world looks kind of scary ♪

♪ And the stormy weather blows ♪

♪ And the branch you thought would never move ♪

♪ Starts rocking to and fro

♪ Just remember soon your troubles ♪

♪ Will all vanish like a dream ♪

♪ It was only Mother Nature

♪ Just a-blowing off some steam ♪

♪ So if you're worried, don't worry ♪

♪ Yeah, if you're worried, don't worry ♪

♪ 'Cause when things go wrong

♪ It's not long till they're right again ♪

♪ It's a crazy topsy-turvy world ♪

♪ Or at least it is sometimes ♪

♪ But together we can face it all ♪

♪ And make it through just fine ♪

♪ So if you're worried, don't worry ♪

♪ Yeah, if you're worried, hey don't worry ♪

♪ 'Cause when things go wrong

♪ It's not long till they're right again ♪

♪ Yeah.

If it's going to thunder and lightning

I'd rather be home in my log.

But what if Smooch and Winslow think I'm a big baby

for being scared?

Maybe I'm just not ready for a sleepover.

[ laughing]

What's the matter, little one?

You seem very upset.

Uh, Oko.

Uh I don't want Smooch and Winslow to laugh at me

because I'm scared of thunder and lightning.

Why do you think Smooch and Winslow would laugh?

Well, I don't know, but they could.

Many, many animals are a little afraid of thunder and lightning.

How do you know Winslow and Smooch aren't afraid, too?

But they're so big.

And they're olderthan me.

When you're older you don't get scared.

Everyone gets scared sometimes,

no matter how old they are.

Even Oko-- and Oko is very very old!

No way.

I mean I know you're old, Ok but you get afraid too?

Big or small, young or old, inside we're all the same.

Take care, young one.

Take care, old one!

[ chuckles]

Well, okay, I'll do it.

So now it's off to the monkey hut

for my very first sleepover.

[ thunder crashing]

Uh-oh. Maybe not.

There you are, Wartz. Are you okay?

I don't know.

I thought I was, but...

Well, maybe if you knew a bit more about thunder and lightning

you wouldn't be so worried.

Maybe.

Well, see in those special thunderclouds,

there are lots of little tiny crystals of ice.

And when they move around d bump into each other

they build up a lot of energy

and that comes out as lightning.

But what about the noise it makes-- thunder?

Where does that come from?

Well, lightning expands very, very fast--

so fast that it makes a loud noise-- that's thunder.

But what about the big scary creature

that Bob was talking about?

There is no big scary creature

in the sky, Wartz.

But, Snook, is it safe to have a sleepover when there's a storm?

Home is a great place to be during a storm.

It might good to hang out with a couple of marmosets I know, too.

I don't know.

Well, you don't have to sleep over if you don't want to.

What should I do? I want to sleepover, but...

And Wartz can sleep right here, on my pillow.

No way. he's going to sleep on my bed.

No, he's sleeping on mine.

Hi, guys.

Yay, you're here!

We're going to have so much fun.

Yeah, we've got lots of yummy snacks.

You like bananas, don't you? Everybody likes bananas.

Oh, I forgot frogs like flies.

Well, we've also got...

[ thunder crashing]

[ screaming ]

Wow, that was scary.

Winslow? Smooch? You're scared of thunder and lightning, too?

Well, only a little.

Okay, a lot.

But it's not so scary when we're all together, right, Winslow?

Right. In fact, it's kind of cozy

to be safe inside the monkey hut.

Yeah, I was going to come tell you I couldn't stay

because I was too scared to stay in a storm.

We understand.

Really?

But it would be really nice if you stayed.

Really?

[ thunder crashing] [ screaming ]

Um... did you know that thunder is nothing more

than air heating up really fast from the lightning?

[ nervous laugh ]: Really?

Cool. That's so scientific.

Whoa, and I always thought it was a big, scary monster.

Yeah, me, too.

Oh, hey,

you want to see my rock collection?

I found some new ones.

Yeah.

Oh, and I've got some great games we can play.

Oh, this is going to be a great sleepover.

[ laughter]

Make way! Here I come!

I'm coming, too! Yikes!

See, Bob? Wasn't that fun?

Uh... I don't know.

Isn't vine-swinging the best way

to get around the World Tree, huh?

Uh... I guess so.

Come on. Let's get a drink of water from the water hole.

ICK: Don't even think about it!

Huh?

You heard me!

Don't even think about it.

How do you know what we're thinking anyway?

You were thinking about getting a drink of water. Right?

Yeah. Right, Bob ?

Yeah. I think we were.

Well, it's not happening.

Nope! Forget about it!

We're closed. Go get water someplace else!

But, Ick, we all drink from the water hole.

Yeah. What's the big deal?

Nobody-- and by that I mean no monkeys or anteaters--

are drinking from this waterhole anymore! So there!

Come on, Bob. Maybe it's

too hot for the fish, and he's getting a little grouchy.

Then again, he's always grouchy.

[ sighs ]

Hmm. Hey, nice to see you.

Hmm. Oh, I bet you're wondering what I'm doing.

I'm watching the water this glass.

Yesterday, there was this much, and now there's only this much.

But I didn't drink it.

I bet you think it disappeared, right?

Well, it didn't.

It's in the air all around me.

Hard to believe, huh?

That's where the water was yesterday,

and now, with the sun b*ating down,

the water is evaporating.

That's when water turns into a gas

and rises into the air.

Have you ever seen steam rising off a cup of hot chocolate?

Well, that's just what's happening to the water here.

Pretty cool, huh?

Oh, and look at these.

These are bananas.

They look pretty flat, don't they?

Well, they're dried out because all of the water

that was in them has, well, evaporated.

Pretty cool, huh?

I'm hoping Smooch and Winslow

will like to chew on these dried banan-aaarrrggghhhs!

Snook! Snook!

Ick won't let us drink from the water hole anymore.

And he was pretty mean about it, too.

And, if we don't drink from the water hole,

our throats will dry up and we'll...

Winslow?

I'd really like a drink of water.

So I see.

What are we going to do?

Well, did Ick say why nobody can drink out of the water hole?

No, but he said we couldn't even think about it.

And I'm thinking about it right now.

Me, too.

I can see that.

Well, let's find out why Ick doesn't want anyone

to drink out of the water hole.

Oh, good idea, Snook.

That sloth-- he's always thinking--

at least when he isn't napping.

Hold it right there!

Did you come for a drink of water?

Uh... no. No, I guess. I guess not.

I'm just hanging out.

You wanted some water, didn't you?

Me? No, really, I didn't.

You did.

Did not.

Did, too!

Did not!

Well, you're not getting any.

Shoo! Hop away!

Uh... Okay, Ick.

Hey, Ick.

Snook. Uh... Snook.

Who do you have with you?

Oh, just a couple of your friends.

Oh, really?

Yeah. Ick, I was wondering why...

Why? Why what?

Why won't you let anyone drink from the water hole?

Uh... No reason.

Come on, Ick. There must be a reason.

I think Ick is just being unreasonable and mean.

Whoa, Bob.

I can't believe I said that. I, uh... I...

Unreasonable and mean?

Unreasonable and mean! I... I...

Ick, Ick, I'm sure Bob didn't mean it the way it sounded.

Hold on, hold on.

Let's everybody calm down and breathe deeply

before we talk about this.

[ all breathing deeply]

It's always better to take a deep breath

when you get angry.

It can help you calm down.

Okay, now, Ick, slowly and quietly,

tell me why you're concerned

about the water in the water hole.

Because...

it's going away.

It's disappearing! It's shrinking!

Really?

And what if I disappear with the water!

You never know! It could happen!

[ sobbing ]

Oh, now, why do you think that, Ick?

Because the water hole is disappearing!

If too many creatures drink from it,

there will be nothing left!

And I'm a fish!

I can't walk up on the land like you guys!

Soon I'll be at the bottom of an empty water hole

flipping and flopping around!

That isn't a pretty picture.

Poor Ick.

Interesting.

Interesting?

"Terrible" would be a better word for it.

No, actually the water is interesting.

It's not disappearing. It's evaporating.

Evapor-what-ing? That thing you just said?

Evaporating.

ALL: Evaporating.

Okay, I'll ask.

Uh, what's "evaporating"?

Oh. Well, when it gets really hot out, like today,

the temperature goes up, the water changes forms

from the liquid water in your water hole,

to gas in the air.

But where does the water in the air go, Snook?

Eventually, that water makes clouds.

Oh, so that's where clouds come from.

Wait, wait, you're saying that there's water in the air?

Sure. You know how here in the rain forest

sometimes on a hot day, the air feels really heavy and wet?

Yeah, it gets humid, bad for my sinuses.

Well, that's water in the air that makes it feel that way.

And when that water in the air, that gas, gathers together,

it makes clouds.

And sometimes, it turns back to liquid,

and the water comes back down to us here on the ground

as... rain.

You mean it all goes round and round like that?

It always has, since the world began.

Wow. Okay.

Water evaporates and goes up, and it comes down as rain.

Are you trying to tell me that it rains up?

[ chuckles]

You must think I was hatched yesterday.

Hmm.

Maybe I need a little help to explain this.

I'll be right back.

[ clears throat ]

Well, I hope I can explain this as well as Madge does.

See, guys, water comes in three

different forms: solid, liquid, or gas.

[ laughing]: Solid water?

Tell me another one, sloth.

Wait, no, no, no, I know this one.

Uh, solid water is ice.

That's right, Winslow.

When it's very cold, water freezes into snow and ice,

which is water in the solid form.

Huh? I knew it.

I think I'm a genius.

And when the weather warms up, the snow and ice melt

to create liquid water.

Like the water in the water hole!

Exactly.

Who's a genius now, monkey?

Warm weather can also make water evaporate

into gas in the air

and return the water to the clouds.

That's what's happening to the water hole, Ick.

Have you noticed how warm it's been lately?

Yeah, that's why we're so thirsty.

Warm weather also makes evaporation happen faster.

But not to worry, Ick.

When it rains, the water will all come back down

and fill up the water hole just like it always has.

It's called the water cycle, and it is pretty amazing.

Wow!

The water cycle is cool.

Huh. And I thought it was all going to disappear,

and I'd be flip-flopping at the bottom in the mud.

Wait, wait, stop, stop, stop.

I don't want to think about that.

And you know, it's not just the water

in the water hole that is evaporating.

It's the water in fruits and even the water in our bodies.

That's why we all need to drink lots of water when it's hot.

Are you sure about this, Snook?

Yep, I promise, Ick.

When it rains again, the water hole will fill up.

Water is important to all of us.

We need it to survive.

Okay. Ick?

So now can we have a drink from the water hole?

Uh, okay, okay, come on, everyone.

Drinks on me.

[ all cheering]

[ chuckles] Thanks, Ick.

all the creatures that live here in the World Tree are.

You can meet a lot of different animals, too.

Visit the zoo, and maybe you can come back

and tell me about some animals that I've never met.

See ya.

My friend Bob is an anteater,

and that's a very interesting kind of animal.

Did you know that newborn anteaters

ride around on their mom's back for up to a whole year?

Whoa!

Now, that's what I call one long piggyback ride.

Can you imagine riding on your mom's back for a whole year?

[ chuckles] I wonder how she'd feel about that.

Do you think you'd like to get

a piggyback ride from an anteater?

Not to toot my own horn or anything,

but I think we sloths are pretty interesting animals.

Did you know that I'm an herbivore?

All sloths are.

It means that we only eat plants, sh**t, leaves

and sometimes fruit.

That's a good diet for slow-moving creatures like me.

Leaves are pretty easy to catch.

[ chuckles]
