Oh!

Hi there! Come on in.

Hmm? [sniffs]

What's that smell?

[sniffs]

Hmm? [sniffs]

Ha! It's you!

[sniffs]

Ooh, tell me, did you just
have some blueberries?

Cause you smell
like blueberries.

[sniffs]

Or maybe you just smell
this sweet all the time?

[chuckles]

Anyway... Come on,
into the kitchen.

I was going to run out to
pick up a few things we need.

You know, stuff like, uh...

milk, eggs, butter,
bread, carrots...

from the Woodland
Valley General Store.

TREELO: Store?

Did we hear someone say
a trip to the General Store?

I just love the General Store.

-Well, yeah. so do I...
-Yeah, yeah!

I just love that General
Store too. So much great stuff.

And that Jeremiah. He's a
funny one, Bear! A funny one!

-Jeremiah funny.
-Yeah, he is funny...

Can we go too, Bear?

Oh! Well, sure,
if you want to come with me

to do a little shopping?

-Is someone going Shopping?
-Uh-huh.

Yeah guys, I mean, if you want
to come and buy some stuff too?

Yeah! Cool! We wanna buy stuff.

Um... how
do you buy stuff, Bear!

Yeah, you know, we see
you go into the general store,

and then you come out and
you've got all of this stuff...

-Yeah. How does that work, Bear?
-Yeah?

Oh,
well. Buying is... Hey. Buying!

Wow! Whoa...

Buying is when
you go to a store...

And you get stuff you need,
well,

you give the
storekeeper money...

and then you get
the stuff you need.

Like... Bread... milk,
or juice...

Huh!

Or you could go to a store

and get something you want like

an ice cream
cone with sprinkles!

Ooooooohhh...

But I have one other question,
Bear...

the whole money thing... um,
how does that work, exactly?

Oh, um... Money.

Well...

money is just what you trade
for stuff you need or want!

Oh.

All over the world,
there's all kinds of money.

Here in Woodland Valley,
we use Clams.

Clams! We love clams.

[laughs]

Yep, this is one
Woodland Valley Clam.

Oooooh... cooooool...

Yeah, but how do you get money,
Bear?

Yeah. We want to spend
some money at the store!

Yeah.

Oh. Well, there are two
ways you can get money...

-Aha, yes...
-One way

is that you can sell things.

The other way is ...well,
you can go to work.

Work! We can do that! Bye, Bear!

Guys!? I mean... not right now.

Yeah, we could sell something
to make money. Couldn't we not?

Well sure, why not, Ojo!

Well, yes,
you could... but, now?

-Bye, Bear!
-Wait. Tutter? Treelo? Ojo?

Wait! You guys, wait. I mean...

You don't have to do
it right now. You can...

[door close]

So, I'm not going to
the store just yet... Yup!

[ music plays]

Here's one for you,
and one for you.

Thanks! Enjoy. Thank you!

There goes two
satisfied customers.

Lemonade!
Get your lemonade here.

Oh, so you guys are
selling lemonade, huh?

Uh huh.

Wow! That's great!
Oh, thanks well,

we're trying to earn some money,
if we're going

to go get some
great stuff at the store!

Hey, you guys! Look!
We can sell these too!

-Wow. Cookies.
-Yeah. I Very nice.

What a good idea
Ojo. So... uh...

how's it going? How's business?

Business is really picking up,
Bear...

Oh yeah. Big rush.

Yeah, you know, we should
have enough clams by, um...

-tomorrow...
-Or maybe the next day.

Yeah.

Uh huh... um...

Aha! [clears throat]

You know, all of a sudden,
I'm rather thirsty.

[gasps]

You are?

Why yes, I am. In fact,
I could drink

let me see, why, a whole
pitcher's worth of lemonade.

Really?

Yes I could. How much
for the whole pitcher?

Oh... Urn...

Just a minute. My partners
and I have to talk.

Right!

[whispers]

Bear, you can have the
whole pitcher for two clams!

-Two clams.
-Two clams.

Two clams? That is a fair price.

Yeah!

And while we're on the subject,
how much for all of the cookies?

[gasps]

[whispers]

Same thing. Two clams.

Uh huh. Two clams.

-Whataya say, Bear?
-Yeah, yeah?

Huh... two clams for cookies?
Two clams for lemonade?

Wow, you guys are
really getting the hang of

this whole buying
and selling thing.

-Yeah.
-Well then,

here you go... four clams.

-We're rich.
-Cha-ching

Now we should really find Pip
and Pop...

Bear! You bought it.

Don't you want to
drink it? It's delicious.

-Um...
-Yeah.

I had a feeling you'd
say that. Sure, uh...

I'm in the mood
for some lemonade.

-He's gonna love it.
-Yum yum.

[slurping]

Wow! He drink the whole thing.

Look at him go!

Wow! How was it? Good, right?
Right? It was good, right?

Mm hm. What kind
of lemonade... is this, exactly?

Oh, it has a secret
ingredient. Right guys?

-Salt!
-Salt?

I mean, it's the same thing,
right? It looks like the same.

-And the cookies too!
-I mean, what's the diff?

Well, let me
same my cookies for later, okay?

-Alright Bear.
-Okay.

And we should really
find Pip and Pop.

Huh?

Pip? Pop? Are you guys alright?

-You look a little... kind of...
-Full?

Yup. Full would be the
word you're looking for.

[burp] Excuse me.

Guys,
did you eat all of those clams?

We did, Bear!

We needed the shells.

It was rough,
but somebody had to do it.

We had to find some
way to make money

for our trip to the store, Bear.

Yeah, we want to buy stuff!

Oh, guys... I'm sorry. I
think you misunderstood.

You see, those are regular
clams. They're not like this.

This is a Woodland Valley clam.
This is Woodland Valley money.

We know, Bear! We...

Hello, Pip and Pop!

Hey, Lois!

Oh my, these are wonderful!

I can make some marvelous
jewelry out of these!

Here you go! Clams
for your clams!

Thank you Lois. Yes.

Ooh!

-Very nice.
-Thanks Lois.

-Wow! We got clams Bear .
-Look at that Bear.

-Well then, I uh...
-We're rich.

Stand corrected.

So guys, are you ready to
come with us to the store?

-I think so, Bear.
-We should just go slow.

-Yeah.
-Okay, guys.

-Oh, I'm so full.
-Oh, full tummy.

[snoring]

Well... Hello...
Bear! Hey everyone.

Wow! That was a great story,
Shadow!

I'm glad you liked
it Bear. Well I'm off.

But if you need another story...

-Yes?
-Just try and catch me!

[laughs]

Thanks Shadow. Bye bye.

-Oh! Hey, Bonnie. Hey, Billy.
-Hey, Bear. Hi Bear.

Hmm...

Potatoes.

[sniffs] Ahhh.

Shopping, shopping, shopping...

Shopping, shopping, shopping...

Nah. Read it. Huh! [gasps]

Shopping... Shopping...

Look at this! The
latest issue of...

Mussel man and Oyster boy!

It's one where they are caught
in the underwater lair of...

the Evil Octopus.

And use their deflector
shields to escape and...

Save the world from...

Octo-domination!

[laughs]

It costs two clams.

We want it!

Oh,
but look Pop! Baseball cards.

Hey! Only one clam a pack.

We want those, too!

[gasps]

Wait a minute...

Mussel man is really cool,
Pop, but...

But we could get twice as
many baseball cards as comics.

This is a tough one.

The question is,
which will provide

more hours of pure enjoyment?

Hmm...

Hmm...

-Comics!
-Baseball cards!

Woooow...

-Baseball cards!
-Comics!

We can't decide!

-Hey guys.
-Hey Treelo!

Hmmm... what Treelo want...

[effort]

Here we go. Oh, look!

Now, here's the Miss Sequoia
City model. Very popular.

And this one, it look a lot like

one once worn by
the Queen of Sweden.

Wow. This really is some store.

Ooh, ooh, I think that I want
the Miss Sequoia City one! Yeah.

A wonderful choice!

Hey Bear!

Hey, Pip. Hey,
Pop. How'd you do?

We got the baseball cards
and a comic book, Bear.

We wanted both.

-It was a tough decision.
-But a fair one.

Ah, good choice.

Tutter? How'd you
do with your cheeses?

Huh? Oh, well actually I
had a lot of trouble deciding...

imported, domestic,
domestic, imported.

I went with the domestic.
More cheese for your clam.

-A wise choice.
-Yeah, I thought so.

Well then,
let's pay for all this stuff.

But Bear, wait...
where's... where's Treelo?

Ooh!

Treelo? Treeeelo?

Oh, there he is!

Hey, Treelo, what's wrong?

Where's your purchase,
my main monkey?

Treelo can't decide!

Oh, that's okay Treelo.

Sometimes it can be hard to
decide what you want to buy.

Umm...

Maybe Jeremiah can help.

Why sure Treelo... any
idea what you might like?

Well... um...
Treelo like... toys...

[cross talk]

We love toys!

Well sure... come on Treelo,
right over here...

Toys, huh? Yeah...
I just got this in...

Ooooooooohhhh...

Yeah. It's a doozy, isn't it?

Oh yeah, yeah... just one
question. Uh... What is it?

I have no idea.

-Guys, it's a top!
-It's a top.

Yeah, I got that.

Whooooooaa...

Yeah, it's a Tip Top Top.

They're the best. I used to have
one, and they're really fun.

Oh wow! Well, thanks
for the info... uh... um...

-It's Billy.
-Oh... um, hi Billy.

Come on, Billy...

Oh yeah, um... Nice
meeting all of you. See ya.

I'll be right over.

Jeremiah, Treelo take it!

Yaaaaay!

That's something we
can all play with Treelo!

-Yeah yeah, can't wait!
-Oh, me too...

Well, that's just great!

But let me help these folks,
and I'll be right back.

So, how are you holdin' up,
there Bonnie?

We're doing fine, Jeremiah.

It's been a little tough, but

we've got a good attitude,
right, Billy?

Yes Momma!

Bonnie, I was so sorry
to hear about your home.

Please, let me know if
there's something I can do...

Thank you,
Bear. Here you go, Jeremiah.

Oh, uh... No, no, no,
no, no... No charge.

But Jeremiah...

Now now now, I don't want
to hear another word about it.

Now you just hold
on there Bonnie,

I'm gonna pack up a
few more things for you.

Well. Alright. That's
awfully nice of you.

This is really going to help us.

-Okay.
-Thanks, Jeremiah!

Yeah, thanks Jeremiah!

What's going on, Bear?

Yeah. Why did Jeremiah give
all that stuff to those bunnies?

I thought this place was
all about buying and selling.

Well, it is but... remember that

big storm a while back,

the one where that
tree fell on the library?

Sure... yeah...

Well, the same storm flooded
Billy and Bonnie's home, and

well... they lost a
lot of their things.

Whoaaa...

Sometimes, when someone's
going through a hard time,

really good people chip
in and help... like Jeremiah!

Jeremiah's giving the bunny
family things they really need.

Wow. That is really nice of him.

Yes. Jeremiah is very generous.

Whoa. Imagine if
that happened to us.

Yeah... kind of
makes me feel silly

for talking about
everything we want...

When all Billy and
Bonnie can think about

is stuff that they need.

Oh, hey... Everybody listen...

It's okay to want things.
Everybody wants things.

But, the important thing to
remember is the difference

between wanting something
and really needing it.

Yeah.

Treelo bet Billy want stuff,
too.

Okay. So, you guys all ready?

-Yeah...
-We're ready.

Umm...

-No... Billy?
-Yeah?

Here. Have this.

[gasps]

For me, but? Why?

Treelo want to give
it to you. A present.

A present,
for me? Wow. Is it okay, Mom?

Well, if everybody's sure,
I suppose.

-Yeah!
-I think it's a great idea.

For me? Wow.
Thanks! Thanks a lot!

Um, Bear? I was thinking,

um, maybe Billy could
come over and play with us!

ALL: Yeah!

Well, sure. Can he Bonnie?

It's fine with me, Bear.

Wait, and if you guys want,
we can play with the top!

Yaaaaaaay!

[cheering]

Go, top, go! Go,
go, go, go, go...

Wow, you guys are really
getting the hang of this top!

-Tip Top Top, Bear!
-Sorry.

Okay, my turn! Next!

Yaaaayyyy!

[music plays]

Wow. So much has happened
today. You know, I bet Luna

would love to hear about it.
Come on? Let's go tell her.

Ah! There she is
now! Hello Luna.

Hello, Bear.

I was just casting my
light across the world.

Now, how was your day
in the Big Blue House?

Oh, it was grand Luna. We took
a trip to the general store.

Oh, that sounds like fun.

Oh, it was. Everyone had lots
of things they wanted to buy.

-Really?
-Uh huh.

Well, a trip to the store
can be quite exciting.

Yeah. And they ended up making
a new friend. Billy, the bunny?

Oh, Bonnie's little son?

I heard what happened to their
house. That must be difficult.

Yeah... but they're doing fine.

Good.

And I think everybody
in the Big Blue House

found out a little
something about giving.

Well you know, Bear.

The feeling that you get
doing something for someone

else is one of the
best feelings of all.

True, Luna, true. Say, Luna?

Would you sing the
goodbye song with me?

I'd love to Bear.
