03x10 - Lots of Space/Tulip Parade

[bunniefuu]

Tulip Parade

[Music]

Oopsy daisy. Oh my. I was wondering what was taking you so long. Your snack is

ready. I'm trying to bring my toys inside. I see you're trying to do it all

at once. Would you like some help? I guess so. But I wanted to bring them all

in by myself.

A customer. [Music]

Welcome to Fan Tootsies. What can we do for you today? The heels of my wooden gardening clogs have split. Can you fix

them? Yes. And once I fix them, your wooden clogs will be solid as logs. Can

you please put these in the fix it box, Franny? Okie dokie, Grandpa. Into the fix it box they go.

[Music]

Where will my feet take me today? [Music]

Ooh, fantabulous dress. Twinkling tulips. Where am I? Oh,

hello. Welcome to Holland. My name is Ida. Hi, Ida. I'm Franny. And

this is my puppy, Hugo. Say hello, Hugo. [Music]

Woof woof, Hugo. [Music] I've never seen so many fantastic

flowers in one place. Isn't it wonderful? This is my parents tulip farm. My parents sell them to people all

over the world. I just love flowers. Me, too. I bet they smell as pretty as they

look. Jeepers. I don't smell anything. I

wonder why these tulips don't smell. Tulips don't smell

because they don't have noses. Some types of tulips do have a nice

scent and some don't have any smell at all. And they come in so many colors.

Orange, yellow, white, red. Tulips are the most popular flower in Holland.

Zoey, you sure know a lot about tulips. Thanks. I think all flowers are

fabulous. Daisies are delightful. Roses are remarkable and tulips are terrific.

I have my own flower garden. Would you like to see it? Absolutely.

[Music]

[Applause]

Look, there's a windmill in the back of that truck. It's not a real windmill.

Look closer, Franny. Okay, Sammy. It's made out of flowers. It looks so real.

My papa made it. It's a float for today's big flower parade. A flower

parade. Neato. All of the floats are made out of flowers. The parade starts

at a nearby village. It's a lot of fun. I think Hugo wants you to see my flower

garden. This is fantabulous. You have all kinds

of flowers. They're all so pretty. You have flowers everywhere, even on your

clogs. I painted them on myself. Neato.

Who's that? That's my uncle Falco. And that's his tugboat. He gives people

tours up and down the canals. So, his boat carries people up and down the canal.

Let's go say hello. That's Dutch for hello. That's easy to remember.

Such lovely flowers. Hello, Uncle Falco. This is my new

friend, Franny. Hello, Franny. [Music]

Hello, Oh, today's the big day. Parade day.

Everyone loves all the flower floats. Do you know why they call them floats? Um,

nope. Well, it's because some parades used to take place with boats that were

decorated. The boats went up and down the canals. Oh, so they called them

floats.

[Music] Have you decided what kind of float you're going to make for today's parade?

No, not yet. You're making a float. I'm supposed to, but I don't know what to

make. Oh, I'm sure you'll think of something. You're so creative. Look, Franny. See how she painted my clogs?

Such lovely flowers. But I'm running out of time and the

parade is today. I'll help. I'm sure we can think of something special together.

Thank you. Well, Franny, that's Dutch for thank you. I shall play. Maybe that

will inspire you.

Let's see. Maybe we can make a float of Hugo. That's a good idea. Oh,

except that Hugo isn't very good at standing still to pose. What about making a float of Uncle Falco's boat?

Too big. What about a butterfly?

Too small? H

I know. What if we make a flower float of a Dutch clog? I think that's a great

idea, Frannie. This shoe float is made up of so many

kinds of flowers. Like this one. It looks different than the tulips. It is

different. That's a type of daisy. It's called a blackeyed Susan. Hello, Susan.

Our float is also filled with roses. And not just red ones, but orange and pink.

Wow. Fantabulous. Roses sure come in a lot of colors.

All done. And it looks fantastic. It sure does.

Uh-oh. It's 2:00. The parade is going to start soon. We have to hurry.

It's too heavy for me to pull. We need someone to help us. I know. My father

can drive us. Oh no, he's already left for the parade. What are we going to do,

Franny? H Maybe Hugo could pull our float to the village.

No, he's too small to pull the float. [Music]

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? What is it, Franny? Uncle Falco and his

tugboat can get us there. We can float right up the canal to the village and get to the parade in time. That's a

wonderful idea, Franny.

Uncle Falco, can you please take Franny, me, and our float?

Oh, and Hugo to the village for the flower festival. Why, of course I can.

I've never seen such a big clog.

[Music]

Look at all these fantabulous floats. They're all so beautiful.

Hurry up, girls. The parade is about to start. Hop on board our flower float,

Franny. Thanks, Ida. But it's time for me to scadaddle home. Goodbye. Goodbye.

Have fun. I'll see you again.

That was fantastic. [Music]

A beautiful tulip from Ida's farm.

[Music]

Another treasure for my shoe box. [Music]

Grandpa, I figured out a way to bring my toys in all at once without dropping them all. That's wonderful, Franny. How

are you going to do that? My wagon can carry all my toys into the house, just

like Uncle Falco's tugboat carried Ida, Hugo, our flower float, and me to the

flower parade. Sounds like a great idea, Franny.

Look, Grandpa, it's my very own parade.

Where will my feet take me tomorrow? [Music]

Lots of Space

[Music]

Rosie, isn't the balloon Grandpa gave me friendl?

I knew you'd like it. Oops, my balloon.

I better put it somewhere safe. H, I know.

Perfect. Oh no.

[Music] Pitiful,

[Music] a customer.

Welcome to Fan Tootsies. What can we do for you on this fine day? These space

boots need polishing. They're going on display at the aerospace museum. I'll

have your boots ready for liftoff in no time at all. Franny, could you please take these to the fix it box? Okie

dokie, Grandpa. Into the fix it box they go.

Where will my feet take me today? [Music]

Great galaxies. Wherever I am, it's out of this world.

Is that the Earth? It sure is. Huh? Greetings.

My name's Cosmo. Hi, Cosmo. I'm Franny. What are you doing way up here? I'm a

junior astronaut aboard the space station. I'm just making some adjustments to the robotic arm. Wowers.

We use the arm to help fix things outside the station and grab satellites that need to be repaired. Uh-oh. My

wrench. I've got it. Wa!

Good catch, Franny. It would have floated away into space. Everything seems to float in space, even us. That's

because there's no gravity up here. What's gravity? It's a force that pulls

things toward each other. Without gravity, things just float away.

Then why aren't we floating away? Because we're attached to these lines. They keep us tethered to the space

station. Now, let's see how the arm's doing. Okie dokie. Whoa.

But the arm is way back there. What are we doing here? Check this out, Granny.

[Music]

Looks like it's all fixed. Would you like to see my home in space? That would be fantastic.

In we go. Pulling, pulling, pulling through space.

Wow, floating clothes. Neato.

Gosh, Cosmo, just regular clothes. I thought we'd have to stay in our space

suits. We need to wear space suits outside because space is very cold and there's no air to breathe. But inside

the station, we pump air and heat around. So, we don't need the suits. So you can work and move around just like

on Earth. Except that everything here floats. Wee! Even me. Wa!

Would you like a drink? Yes. Thanks. Where are the cups?

We can't use regular cups in space. Phew. The juice would float right out.

Thank you. M. Space juice is just as scrumlyious as

Earth juice. That's because it's the same. We astronauts eat mostly the same foods in space as we do on Earth. We

even bring fresh fruits and vegetables. Oops. Great. Galoopy. Floating juice

drops. I'll get one.

Cleanup time. Crumbs and drops can damage all this delicate equipment.

[Applause] [Music] Check this out, Franny. I'm conducting

an experiment to see how space affects corn plants growth. That'll make one dilly of a dinner.

Come on, Franny. There's even cooler stuff to see in the next pod.

Blastoff. In space, it's really important to

exercise every day. Otherwise, when I get back on Earth, I'll be weak as a kitten. Whoa. Watching you go around and

around sure makes me dizzy. Come on, Franny. It's fun. Okay,

Zoe. I sure feel lighter here than I do on Earth. Remember what I told you about

gravity pulling things toward each other? Sure do. Well, there's a little bit of gravity in the space station,

just not nearly as much as there is on Earth.

Wee! [Music] Tada!

[Music]

It's almost time for me to go back to work. What a neat watch band. It's a special one. Instead of using a buckle,

it sticks like a burr. See? Fantastic.

I have one more special thing to show you before I go back to work.

This is my favorite part of the space station. Look at the view. Jeepers.

It's like having your very own star show. Sometimes I spend hours just

stargazing out the port hole. I wish I had a picture. I'll get my camera.

Whoa. Is this your room? Sort of. It's my sleeping quarters. I was able to bring

my favorite books and movies and music into space with me. Aha. Here's my

camera. Say space case. Oh no.

Cosmo. I think all your stuff needs a place to sleep, too. My things are always floating away. I wish I knew what

to do with them. Don't worry. I'll find a place for them.

Perfect. All of your things will be out of the way here.

Fiddlesticks. When I put them down, they just float away again. There must be

some place where they can go and stay put. I know. We can put everything in here. Look out.

Wa! It's uh already full. I uh I brought a

lot of stuff with me into space. You sure did.

Oh no. My free time is almost over.

It sticks like a burr. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Why

don't we use some sticky strip fasteners like the one on your watch in your pocket to hold everything in place?

Granny, that's a skyhigh idea.

Now that these fasteners are glued on, your stuff will stay stuck. And I'll know where everything is when I need it.

Oops. Break time's over. Come help me, Franny. You'd make a good astronaut.

Thanks, Cosmo. But I have to return to Earth now. It was nice visiting with you. Bye, Franny. Goodbye.

[Music]

I sure was up up and away. [Music]

A fastener like Cosmo had

[Music]

another treasure for my shoe box. [Music]

Now to bring my own floating problem down to earth. Grandpa, can you help me?

Coming. Franny. Oh dear, your balloon flew away. Here

you go, Franny. Going up. Better hang on to it or it may float

away again. Don't worry, I know what to do.

[Music] The ribbon will keep the balloon

attached to the chair, just like the line kept Cosmo and me attached to the space station. Who's Cosmo?

The astronaut. I met him in outer space. Everything floated around up there. See,

Grandpa? Now, even when I can't hold on to my balloon, it won't float off.

That's my Franny. Always rising up to solve a problem.

Where will my feet take me tomorrow? [Music]

It Figures

Double piffle. Double piffle. That sounds serious. It

is. I made the letter F for Franny. Very good. But now I'm trying to make a G for

grandpa. First I made it backwards and then I made the circle part too big.

It's hard. A customer.

[Music]

Good day. What can we do for you? I'd like to go skating in the Winterlude festivities, but my skates are stiff and

uncomfortable, and the blades are dull. Don't worry, we'll sharpen those blades

and rub oil on the leather. You'll be out on the ice quick as a wink. Can you please put these in the fix it box,

Franny? Okie dokie, Grandpa. Into the fix it box they go.

[Music] Where will my feet take me today?

[Music]

Wa! [Music] Ah! Ooh!

Fantabulous outfit. Where am I? You're at the community center ice skating

rink. Wa! I've got you. Thanks. The ice

sure is slippery. All the better to skate on.

Wow. Neato. I'm Sylvie. Nice to meet you. Hi,

I'm Whoa. Oopsie. Hi, Sylvie. I'm Franny. Don't move. I'm going to get you

a cone. A cone? It's much too cold for ice cream. Not an ice cream cone. It's a

plastic cone to help you keep your balance. Here, hold on to it. Wa!

Thanks. You're welcome. Jeepers, you sure are a great skater.

Thank you. It's my favorite thing to do in the whole world. I've been taking lessons for a long

time. Since I was very little. Why are you still taking lessons? You already

know how to skate really well. I'm learning more than just how to skate.

I'm learning jumps

and twirls and other special moves.

Whoa. It's called figure skating. Figure skating. Show me more. Sure.

[Music]

You look like a hopping bunny when you do that one. That's called the bunny jump.

This is called an upright spin because you stay upright. [Applause]

And this is a sit spin because you sit.

Tada! Yay! Wa! I know I can't do spins or jumps, but I

sure wish I could skate. Would you like me to teach you? Would I? Absafrenutely.

Okay, then follow me. One foot after the other.

Good, Franny. Now, let go of the cone. Hold your arms out to the side like this

to help you balance. Okay. [Music]

And bend your knees a little. Now, move forward one foot at a time

just like we did when we were holding on to the cone. Whoa.

You're doing it. Great. Galoopy. I'm skating.

That was icerific. But skating is hard work.

[Music] Hey, they get to hold onto a hockey

stick to help them balance. Let's take a rest. Would you like some

juice from the snack bar? Sure.

These are skate guards. [Music]

Now we can walk on our skates without ruining the blade. It's not easy walking on skates either.

I can't bend my feet. Look, I am walking like a robot.

[Music] I'll have apple juice. What will you

have, Franny? Same, please. Two apple juice, please. Here you go. Thank you.

You're welcome, kids. Scrum dillyumptious.

Look, Sylvie. [Music]

Zoey, that was fantabulous. Who are they? They're figure skaters.

They're practicing for a figure skating competition. It's a contest where you're given points for how well you skate your

special moves. The winner is the one with the most points. Will you be in the

competition, too? No, not me. Why not? You can jump and twirl as well as they

did. Thanks, Franny. You're right. I am good at jumping and twirling, but I

can't do a figure eight. What's a figure eight? It's a figure skating move. In

competition, the figure eight is a basic one. And I can't do it. What does it

look like? Is it very fancy dancy? Not really. I'll show you.

[Music] This is a figure eight.

Oh, it's the exact same shape as the number eight. If you can jump and spin

and do whirly twirlies, I just know you can learn to do a figure eight. I've tried, but I get all mixed up. I mean to

go one way, but my feet go the other way. H

What about looking at the drawing on a napkin while you skate? That way you'll

remember what to do. I can try.

Can you see it? Yep. Whoa.

Are you okay? What happened? I'm fine, but I took my eyes off the napkin and

saw the red hockey lines and got all confused. My feet started following the lines on the ice. Following the lines on

the ice? Are you thinking what I'm thinking? We can draw a figure eight on the ice

and you can follow the shape. That's a great idea, Franny. I know just the

thing. Wait here. Excuse me. Can I borrow your red chalk?

I won't be a minute. Here you go. Thank you. You're welcome.

There. I drew the number eight onto the ice. It looks just like a figure eight.

Now you can follow the lines as you skate and your feet will know exactly where to go. I think this might work.

Here goes. Yay. That's it, Sylvie.

I did it. A figure eight. You did it. Thanks to you, Franny. A bit more

practice and I'll be able to enter a competition. Would you like to skate some more? I can

teach you to twirl around. I'd love to, Sylvie, but I need to scadaddle home.

There's something I have to do. Okay, Franny. I hope to see you again soon.

Bye, Sylvie. [Music]

That was skater. [Music]

A pom pom. [Music]

Another treasure for my shoe box.

Grandpa. Yes, Franny. Can you write the letter G for me? Certainly.

How's that? It's good, but I need more. More? I need

lots and lots of them. I figured out a way to learn to write the letter G. I

knew you would. I'm going to write over the G's you

make, just like Sylvie learned the figure 8 by skating over the one I drew on the ice.

Sylvie skating? I see. At least I think I do. Well, here

you go. Thanks, Grandpa. [Music] Where will my feet take me tomorrow?

Pandamonium

[Music]

Once upon a time, there was a princess. Oh,

fuddle duddle.

That's all right, Franny. We can fix things up in a jiffy and you can restart your puppet show. I don't know, Grandpa.

I wish I had a better puppet theater. There must be something we can use from the shop.

But what, Grandpa? I don't see anything that looks like it could be a theater.

a customer. [Music]

Welcome to Fantosies. How can we help you on this fine day? I have a banquet in Chinatown, but one of the flowers on

my slippers needs to be restitched. With a needle and some thread, that flower will stop drooping and rise and shine.

Franny, could you take these to the fix it box, please? Sure thing, Grandpa.

Into the fix it box they go. [Music]

Where will my feet take me today? [Music]

Sammy swishy soft silk. Oh, I wonder if

I'm in some kind of forest. But a forest has trees. And these don't

look like trees. That's because those aren't trees. Huh? You're looking at

bamboo. It's a kind of woody grass that grows

very fast. Welcome to the Misty Mountains of China. Nihow. That's hello

in Chinese. My name is Ling. Nihow Ling, I'm Franny. I like your skateboard.

Thanks. This skateboard helps me catch up to Boo, Nana, and Coco.

I want to try that. Zoe, are those bears? We're panda bears.

Pandas are rare. There's not as many of them as there used to be. That's why Coco, Boo, and Nana are at this panda

sanctuary. We help take care of them. Pandas, this is Franny.

Franny, [Laughter]

I want to try that bling. They sure are cute.

Peekaboo. I see you. Boo.

Ling. Granny. Woles. Black. Wait. Black. Black, white, black, white. I don't

know. Coco, what does go black, white, black, white, black, white? A panda

rolling down a hill.

[Laughter]

What are they saying? That's the panda way of saying they're hungry. Luckily,

their snack is already here. [Music]

They eat bamboo. That's why we have to protect these forests. The bamboo is the

panda's home and their food. Neato. Pandas sit down to eat, just like I sit

down at the table. Grown-up pandas spend at least 12 hours each day eating bamboo, so they get a

lot of practice sitting up like that. [Music]

It'll be getting dark soon. Franny, could you help me get the pandas back to their shelter? Absolututely.

I've got you, Coco. Come on, Boo. [Music]

What about me, Nana? Sorry, Nana. Can you walk with us?

Are you too tired? [Music] I think she wants to be picked up. I

think you're right. Okay. Oh, come. Come on. Hey.

Whoa. Uh-oh. My arms are long enough to hold one panda, but not long enough to hold two.

Nana, hold on. How about carrying Nana on your back,

Ling? Can I ride on your back, Franny?

Sure thing, Boo. But let's find a way to carry Nana first. Ups daisy.

Aya. Two pandas is too heavy for me to carry.

Me three. O. Then we'll just have to use something else to carry them. H.

Oh, like this box. All aboard.

[Music] Great idea, Franny. I'll push from this

side. And I'll push from this side. E one

two sun three.

It's not working. [Music] Too bad the bottom of the box keeps

rubbing against the ground. It makes it too difficult to push.

I could try holding Boo and pulling Nana on my skateboard, but unless they're

eating, it's difficult to get a panda to sit still. Just look at them all.

[Music] It's a panda wheelbarrow. Just like the kind my father uses to

help him carry heavy things. H

great galoopy. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? May I

Are you making a new toy, Franny? A new toy. A new toy for Boo. A new toy. A new

toy. No, Boo. Franny's making a wheelbarrow. Great idea. You know,

wheelbarrows were invented in China. Wow. Really? Neato.

H. We just have to find a way to tie the skateboard to the box.

We can use that rope. Fantastic. And some handles to hold on to. There is

plenty of bamboo we can use. I'll help. Me, too. How can you little guys help?

Like this, Zammy. And let's get to work.

[Laughter] [Music] Here we are.

[Music] Thank you for all your help, Franny. To

say thank you, we say shay. Shay. You're welcome. Would you like to come

inside? I can make us a hot cup of tea. I'd love to, Ling, but I'd better

scaddle. My grandpa's waiting for me. Well, I hope you come back again and visit us very soon.

We are again. [Music] Bye, Ling. Bye, Nana. Bye, Coco. Bye,

Boo. [Music]

That was panderrific. [Music]

A bamboo stock. [Music]

Another treasure for my shoe box.

H hey, I know a shoe box could work.

I looked all around for something we can use as your puppet theater. That's okay, Grandpa. Let's make one out of this shoe

box.

What an inventive way to use a shoe box. You're using one thing, a shoe box, to

make another thing, the puppet theater. And now the shoe box is completely

different. I got that idea from my friend Ling. She lives in China. We took

a box, a skateboard, and some rope and turned it into a wheelbarrow to carry

three pandas. [Music] Oh, Grandpa. Pandas are very cute.

They are indeed. There. And we can pretend this blue dust cloth is water.

[Music] Tada! A puppet theater.

Where will my feet take me tomorrow? Bye. [Music]

Going Ape!

This castle will look fantastic when I decorate it with glitter.

Pipple. The glitter ran out. Grandpa, I ran out of glitter and my castle isn't

finished yet. I think there's more in the storage closet. I'll go, Grandpa.

[Music] Uh-oh. Grandpa. Grandpa. There's a

longlegged creepy crawler in the closet. A longlegged creepy crawler? Are you

sure, Franny? It sure looks like one to me. All right, Franny. Let's go

investigate. A customer.

[Music]

What can I do for you today? I need to get in shape for my next vacation, and so do my walking shoes. I'll fix your

shoes so they're fit to travel. Can you walk these over to the fix it box, please, Franny? Sure, Grandpa. Into the

fix it box they go.

Where will my feet take me today? [Music]

Ooh, my summer top is tops. Wow,

I'm on top of the clouds. We're going up the rock of Gibralar.

Hi, I'm Franny. Who are you? Everyone knows me. I'm Mech the Macak. The Macak?

What's that? A macac is a kind of monkey. Well, some people call us barbar

apes. Most monkeys have long tails, but not us. So, some people thought we were

apes, but we really are monkeys.

It's nice to meet you, Mac. Aw, same here, Franny. High five. Going up the

rock of Jialter. That's a really high high five.

Here's where I like to hang out. The top of the Rock of Gibralar. Over there,

that's the Mediterranean Sea. Huh? Take a look.

Wow, there's a lot of sea to see. Oh, look, another macac.

Hey. Hi there. Oh, I didn't mean to scare you.

It's okay, kid. Come out and meet Franny. What's your name? It's Walter.

Walter from Gibralar. I'm Franny. And I'm Mac.

Everyone knows your name, Mac. Well, sure. I'm the main Macak around here.

High five, [Music]

Walter. You don't need to hide. Yeah, they're just tourists, kid. They only want to take my picture. Watch this.

Hey, look at me. I'm cool and

Mac is so cool. Hey, look. I'm a tourist.

Hey, I can see the sea, but someone turned it upside down.

No one goes ape like Mac can. Oh, I wish I could be his friend. Would you like me

to help you make friends with Mac? Oh, I don't know. Do you really think a cool macac like Mac would be friends with me?

Sure. Everyone needs friends. Okay, what do I do?

What do Macak friends do when they're together? H Oh, we groom each other's

fur. We pick out bugs and we make our friends fur neat and tidy. Ferrific. Groom my hair so Matt can see what a

nice friend you are. Okay, Franny. Thanks, Walter. I don't have any bugs,

but I do like my hair to be neat and tidy. Uh, anytime, Franny. Oh, Mac, you

should let Walter groom your fur. He's fantastic at it. Nah, my fur is fine the

way it is. It didn't work, Franny. Don't give up,

Walter.

Hey, wait up. Let's go, too, Walter. Maybe we can find another way for you to

make friends with Mac. Hurry up.

The tourists are going into that place over there. That's St. Michael's Cave, Franny. I've heard it's really neat.

Doing something fun together is a fantastic way to make friends. Let's check out St. Michael's Cave. Cool.

Come on, Mac. Oh, me? Uh, nah. I uh I'll

just wait here until the tourists come out again. I bet it'll be fun.

It's just a cave. A big, dark, scary cave.

Sensational stone shapes. What a fantabulous cave. This is cool.

It sure is, Walter. Whoa. I'm staying with you, Franny. Uh, so you don't get

nervous. Oh, I'm not nervous. But I do wonder what they call those stones that hang down like icicles and those stones

that point up like cones. Well, the the tour guide said the stone icicles are stelactites and the stone cones are

stellagmites. Stelactites and stellagmites. He said that when water drips down

inside the cave, it leaves this stuff called minerals behind. And after years and years and thousands of years of

dripping, they build up to all these neat stone shapes. Woohoo! That's a whole lot of dripping. Mac, isn't that

rocktastic? Oh, yeah. Rocktastic.

So, are you ready to go now, Franny? Mac, there are some really cool shapes

in here. What's that? It's Walter. Let's take a look.

[Music] There's a scary face in there.

It does look a little like a face, but I think it's just some lumpy rocks. Take another look, Mac. No way. No, no, no,

no, no. I can't. Franny, what's up with Mac? Mac thought he saw a scary face in

there. It's just some lumpy rocks, but he's too nervous to look at them again.

Mac nervous? Wow. We have to find a way to help Max see.

There's nothing scary in there. But how can we do that, Franny? H. If only it

wasn't so dark in there. Oh,

are you thinking what I'm thinking? I know how to make it brighter in there.

Walter, will you go ape with me? Uh uh me go ape? Well, I I don't know if I'm

brave enough to do that. I But if it'll help Mac, I'll try.

Look, a macak is going ape over here.

[Music]

Hey, there isn't a scary face in there. It is just lumpy rocks. That's right,

Mac. Walter and I got the tourists to flash their cameras so you could see the

rocks better. And I was scared of that. Thanks for helping me. I'm glad I have friends like

you. I'm your friend. You're one of the coolest monkeys I know. Hey, what do you

say you and I go ape for the tourists? Me? Hey,

that's a picture perfect ending of my trip to the Rock of Gibralar.

Goodbye, Franny. Goodbye, Mac. Goodbye, Walter.

[Music]

That was rocktacular. [Music]

A postcard of Mac and Walter. [Music]

Another treasure for my shoe box.

Grandpa, I know what we need to investigate the long-legged creepy crawler in the closet. You do? What's

that, Franny? More light. Just like when Walter from Jialter and I got the tourists to flash their cameras. Then

Matt could see there really wasn't a scary face in the rocks. Well, let's get our flashlights.

There's that strange shadow. It does look like a creepy crawler. And

that's what's making it. Now, let's shine our flashlights on it.

Grandpa, it's not a creepy crawler at all. It's just a bunch of shoelaces

hanging out of the shoelace box. Who knew shoelaces could look like a funny bug? It's amazing how different things

can look when you shine a little light on them. Where will my feet take me tomorrow?

Clothes Call

[Music]

Ooh, my new winter coat looks great, Grandpa. I can't wait to wear this

outside. Did you decide what shoes to wear?

Uh-uh. I'll do that now. [Music]

These shoes look fun. Franny, we'll be going for a walk. Are

you sure you want to wear those pink slippers? But they're so pretty, Grandpa. Just like my coat. But are they

warm enough for the snowy sidewalks?

Zammy, you're right. But what shoe should I wear?

[Music] A customer.

[Music] Welcome to Fan Tootsies. What can we do

for you today? I'm flying to Italy to see the latest clothing designs, but a broken heel is most definitely not

fashionable. With a hammer and a few shoe nails, you will be stylishly strolling in no time.

Franny, can you take these to the fix it box, please? Sure thing, Grandpa. Into

the fix it box they go.

Where will my feet take me today?

[Music]

Woo! [Music]

Ooh, fabulous fashion. Wow,

what a fantastic building. Let's have a look.

[Music] Ooh. Wow.

Oh, hi there.

Miss Goosey. Excuse me. Sorry. I'm Franny, by the way. Salv Franny. Hello.

I'm Aayita. Where am I? We are in one of the great fashion capitals of the world,

Milan, Italy. Oh, your shoes, Franny. They are gorgeous.

Thank you, Aayita. They are Moto Bellow.

[Music] Oopsie. Oh no, my sister's skirt and coat and

t-shirt, they're all flying away. What skirt? Where? I only see paper.

Oh, they're paper clothes. Franny rapid perforavore.

Quickly, please. We must not lose them. Oh, fiddle sticks. There they go.

Why do you have paper clothes? My sister drew them. She's learning how to design

clothes at her school. Oh, but she forgot to take her homework with her

today. Excellente. But why paper? All the clothes I wear

are made of cloth. But paper dolls wear paper clothes. See, friend,

don't they look belly? My sister also drew them. They're fantastic. Your

sister's school must be neato. It's a fashion school. Franny

[Music]

Bella,

Miss Goosey, Grati, thank you.

[Music]

Do you see it?

Hello. May I? Allow me.

Thank you. I'm Franny. And I am Georgio. You remind me of my grandpa. He has a

shoe shop and fixes shoes and boots, too. This is just like a treasure hunt. Iita

found another one. A real fashion find. Giorgio, this is my

friend Aayita Pia. Pleased to meet you, too.

Did you make all these? I did. I come from many generations of

skilled artisans. We make beautiful things from leather and all by hand. Of course, in the

latest styles. Oh, see, see, your work is very fashionable. I bet your sister

would love these. Oh, I spy with my little eye.

[Music] A t-shirt.

[Music]

Can't reach. Pimple. How can we reach it? H

I know. May I borrow your pencil? Of course.

[Music] Hooray.

I've got it. I think that's the last one.

We now have all the paper clothes. Your sister's drawings look fantabulous.

They'll look even more ballet on the paper dolls. We'll put that t-shirt and

shorts here. Winter coat there.

Black dress here.

Something doesn't look right. [Music]

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? There's nothing wrong with your sister's drawing, Zita.

We just have to make sure the shoes match the clothes.

Hi, I see what you mean. If it's cold enough to wear a winter coat, then it'll

be much too cold to wear dressy high heels. Shorts and t-shirts are worn when you

want to be casual or when you're doing an activity like soccer or skipping

or like chasing after flying paper clothes.

Then the shorts and t-shirt should go with these sneakers. This evening gown, Moto Bellow

goes with that paper doll's dressy high heels. All done.

Fantastic. Ayay. My sister's leather case has a tear in

it. With a hole this big, her drawings could go flying off again. Don't worry,

Aayita. I think we know someone who can help. Come on. [Music]

There you go. As good as new, Bella. I love it. Grati, Giorgio.

I am glad to be of assistance. And thank you too, Franny. You're

welcome. I'd better get these to my sister. Would you like to come with me? I can show you more of Milan. I'd love

to, Aayita, but I'd better scadaddle. My grandpa's waiting for me. Come back

soon, okay? We can go to many shops and try out lots of clothes. Moto bell.

Ciao, Franny. Goodbye, Aita. Goodbye, Giorgio. [Music]

That was Paper Doll Peachy. [Music]

A paper doll. [Music]

Another treasure for my shoe box.

[Music] Aha!

These boots will keep my toes warm and toasty. And they go with my new winter coat.

[Music] Oh, I'm all ready, Grandpa. You look

wintry warm, Franny. From the top of your head to the tip of your toes. I

picked the right shoes to go with my coat. My friend Aayita had the same

problem matching the right shoes to the right clothes. Aayita lives in Milan.

Bella Bella Bellisimo. We will have a

wonderful winter walk now. Where will my feet take me tomorrow?

[Music]

So to Speak

Huh? Oopsie. Rosie, what is it?

Neil. Oh my. Why is Rosie barking? I don't know, Grandpa.

I do believe she's trying to tell us something. I wish I could speak dog.

That way, I would know what Rosie is saying. [Music]

a customer.

Welcome to Fan Tootsies. How can we help you today? Good day. I'm going scuba diving in Australia, but the buckle on

my flipper is loose. A dab of waterproof glue will fasten down that buckle.

You'll be swimming in no time. Franny, could you take these to the fix it box, please? Sure thing, Grandpa. Into the

fix it box they go. [Music]

Where will my feet take me today? [Music]

Super duper swimsuit. Let's go swimming.

Look at all the beautiful coral. It's like an underwater garden.

Oh, I know where this is. Grandpa and I saw

it on a nature program. It's the Great Barrier Reef near Australia.

Ooh. Huh.

Oh, somebody there. Oh, hello, Starfish.

Did you tap me on my shoulder? Nope, not me. Did you see who it was? Yes, but I'm

not telling. Someone's playing peekab-boo.

[Music] Gotcha.

Hi, I'm Franny. H Let's try that again. I'm Franny.

Huh? By the way, your new friend is young. He hasn't learned how to speak

people. And I don't speak dolphin.

Pifful. Wait a minute. We both shook our heads.

We can use action instead of words to talk to one another.

Franny. Franny. I'm Franny.

That's right. Franny. Now, what's your name?

[Music] Oh, you're showing me your name.

H, that's sand. Sandy.

You're pushing sand. No, you're digging sand.

Dig. Digging. Digger. Is your name Digger?

Hooray. Digger. [Music]

Hey. Oh, you want to play tag?

[Music] I'm going to get you.

[Music]

Digger sure is a good swimmer. Look how strong his tail is. But I've got some

flippers of my own. 5 4 3 2 1. Ready or not, digger, here I

come. [Music] Better not touch anything.

Coral is delicate and breaks easily. And I don't want to get stung. Lots of

ocean creatures sting to protect themselves.

Hi little fish. A hiding clown fish. But no digger in

there. Digger sure is a fantastic hider, but

I'm a fantabulous seeker.

Ooh, a sea turtle.

Wait a ding-dong minute. First, that turtle had four flippers, but now it has

1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Do you see what I see?

Come on.

Found you, digger. Woohoo! Now it's your turn.

[Music] That sounds like the starfish.

I was searching for something to eat in the seagrass and I got myself all tangled up.

Okie dokie. If you grab onto my hand, I'll pull you out. Stop. My arms have

prickly spines along the top, and I wouldn't want you to get hurt.

What do you want to do with that rock, digger? Oh, you want to try digging up the

seagrass? If you can set me free, then I can untangle myself.

[Music] It's not working. Oh, the root of the

plant must be too deep. We'll have to think of another way to free you. But

starfish, just how did you get so tangled up in the first place? My arms have suction cups. That's how I stick to

rocks and pull myself around the coral. But I guess all these squiggly grasses got caught in my suction cups.

H

Sammy, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Do you have an idea? Because I'd love to hear it.

Starfish, with those suction cups, you can pull yourself out.

But to pull myself out, I need something to grab onto. And I can't grab onto your hand because of my spines.

[Music] Oh yeah. Sorry, I don't know what you

mean. Digger's telling you that if you grab onto the rock, he'll pull you out.

A Oh, yeah.

Thank you. You're welcome.

[Music] Sorry, Digger. I'd love to play tag with

you, but I better get home. I've got a sheep dog who's trying to

tell me something. Goodbye, Digger. Goodbye, starfish. Come

visit us anytime. I will. [Music]

That was dolphin horrific. [Music]

Ooh, seaggrass. [Music]

Another treasure for my shoe box.

I know Rosie is trying to tell us something, but what is she trying to say? We'll figure it out, Grandpa. How?

By watching what Rosie does. That'll tell us what she means. I learned that from my friend, Digger the Dolphin.

Digger lives at the Great Barrier Reef. A dolphin.

Dolphins are very smart, just like my franny. Rosy's doing it again.

I know. Rosie wants us to follow her to the kitchen.

[Music] She wants us to look at her water bowl.

Oh, Rosie is thirsty. [Music] Rosy's tail is wagging.

That must mean we got it right. Here we go.

[Music] What's that sound?

My tummy is growling. Without using words, my franny has just

told me that she's ready for a snack. All that swimming has made me hungry.

Let's see. What do we have here? Where will my feet take me tomorrow?

On Your Toes

[Music]

[Music]

Oh, where? Oh, where is it? H.

Not here. And not here either. Franny, what are

you doing? I'm looking for my skipping rope. Grandpa, I can't find it anywhere.

Don't worry, Franny. I'll help you look for it.

A customer. [Music]

Welcome to Fan Tootsies. How can I help you today? My poor ballet slippers.

They're brand new, but I just found a tear in the satin. A little satin, then a little sewing, and you'll be

pirouetting again in no time. Will you put these in the fix it box, please, Franny? Okie dokie. Into the fix it box

they go.

Where will my feet take me today? [Music]

How pretty. Wee. Oh, my name's Yla. Are you a fairy?

No, I'm not a fairy. I'm just a regular little girl. And my name's Franny. See?

No wings. I didn't mean a real fairy, Franny. I'm

talking about ballet fairies. Ballet fairies? Sure. I'm a ballerina and I'm

dancing in the Nutcracker. The Nutcracker is a very famous ballet performed all over the world at

Christmas time. It was written byChaikovski Kazutite.

I'm not sneezing, Franny. That's the composer's name. Tchaikovski. Oh, very

nice fairy dancing, Yla. Thanks. only. I'm not a fairy. Costumes, everyone.

I'm a gingerbread girl. Gingerrific. What a great costume. It's okay. But

every year I play a gingerbread girl. And every year I wish I was a fairy like

the sugar plum fairy. The most beautiful ballerina ever. Wow.

What's she doing? She's warming up before the performance, stretching her muscles. Ballet is very, very hard work.

You have to be super strong and super flexible to be able to dance so gracefully. Who is he? That's the dancer

who plays the prince. Look at his muscles in his legs. He must be so

strong. He is. You should see how high he can jump.

Zie zoodle. That's so beautiful. That's nothing

really. They're saving their best jumps for their performance. Look,

little fairies just our age.

It must be so wonderful to be a fairy. 15 minutes to performance. Come with me.

[Music] This is my favorite place to watch as they set up the stage for the ballet.

You can see everything from here. Oh, leaping lollipops.

Look at these candies. Those are the props for the land of sweets. They roll

on wheels. See? I use this candy cane for my gingerbread

dance. Sweet. It must be so much fun to dance with a candy cane.

It sure is. And over here are the giant toys for under the Christmas tree. If

this is the size of the presents, imagine how big the tree would have to be. You're right.

Watch this. Wa! That is absolutely the most

ginormous Christmas tree I've ever seen. Places, please. 5 minutes. Uh-oh. I have

to get ready. The show is about to begin.

This is so exciting. I'm starting to get very nervous. You get nervous? But you

said you've been a gingerbread girl lots of times. I know, but it's the same every show. I get butterflies in my

stomach. And I love it. I love everything about the ballet. I even love

being a gingerbread girl. And you're very good at it, too.

What's that noise? That's the orchestra getting their instruments in tune.

Orchestra? What orchestra?

They're down there. Look. Heavens to xylopones. There are musicians down

there. It's called the orchestra pit. They put the musicians down there so

they don't block the audience's view of the dancers. 2 minutes to showtime places, please. I have to get into

place, Franny. I'll see you after the what? Uh-oh. What's the matter, Yla? I

was having so much fun with you, I forgot to change into my ballet slippers. Well, you'd better hurry. The

show is about to start. You're right. Only I don't know where they are. They

have to be around here somewhere. But where? We visited so many places. The orchestra pit, the giant toys, the

dancing candy canes, the growing Christmas tree, and by the mirror where the sugar plum fairy was dancing.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? All we have to do is go back and look in

all the places we visited. I'm sure we'll find your slippers that way.

Oh, Franny, we've looked everywhere. Where can my ballet slippers be? H, let

me think. What were we doing before we watched the Sugar Plum Fairy warm-up?

Before we watched the Sugar Plum Fairy, I was showing you my gingerbread

costume. Here's one ballet slipper. And here's

the other. Yay! We found them just in time. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to

our holiday production of The Nutcracker. The show is starting. I have

to run. Good luck, Yla. Break a leg. [Applause]

[Music]

Wow.

Oh, Laya, you are fantabulous. Thanks, Franny. But I never would have

made it on stage without you. And guess what? The sugar plum fairy told me that

I'd done such a good job as a gingerbread girl. That next performance, I get to be a fairy. Oh, Lyla, that's

fantastic. It is wonderful. As long as I don't lose my ballet slippers again. Come with me.

There's one more thing we have to do. There, Lla's shoes. Now you'll always

have a place to put them. Thanks again, Franny. You're the best. Bye.

[Music]

That was balletrific. [Music]

A ribbon from a ballet shoe. [Music]

Another treasure for my shoe box.

H. Now there's something I'm forgetting. My skipping rope. I was looking for it

outside, but it wasn't there. Where should I look next?

I know. I'll try to remember what I was doing before I went outside to play. H

I remember. I was having a snack. There it is.

I found my skipping rope. Good for you, Franny. This is just like when I was

visiting my friend Laya and she lost her ballet slippers. So, we looked behind the giant candies and the expanding tree

and finally found them in the gingerbread costumes. Giant candies? Gingerbread costumes. I

don't know about any of that, but it sounds like you need to keep better track of your toys, Franny.

You're right, Grandpa. And I know how.

Now I'll always know where my skipping rope is. Where will my feet take me

tomorrow? [Music]

A Perfect Fit

Oh, Dolly, where'd your ribbon go?

I know it's here somewhere. [Music] Oh, Pickle, I forgot to feed you.

Franny, it's time to tidy up your toys. Okie dokie, Grandpa. Oh, I still haven't

found my dolly's ribbon, and I still haven't fed Pickle. Franny, are you

tidying up? Oh, yes, Grandpa. [Music]

A customer. [Music]

Welcome to Fantosis. What can we do for you on this fine day? I'm performing a

traditional Russian folk dance at the community center, but the inside of my boots feels scratchy.

Tuft of wool here and there, and you'll be kicking your feet up again in no time. Franny, could you please take

these to the fix it box? Okie dokie. Into the fix it box they go.

Where will my feet take me today? [Music]

What a lovely dress.

Hustle and halaloo. I wonder why everybody looks so busy. Oopsie.

Prainia. Sorry. I'm Petrov. Are you all right? I'm fine, Petrov. My name is Franny.

What is this place? You're in Russia, just in time for the Russian New Year.

That's a very important holiday here. Oh, I better get going. I'm late helping my cousin set up his stall in the

market. There's so much I have to get done before the fireworks. Ooh, I love fireworks. Would you like some help?

That would be wonderful. Here, this will keep you warm in the cold Russian winter. Ooh, so cozy. Thank you. It's

one of the gifts my cousin sells at his stall. This way, Franny. Let's go.

Oh, look. The Novagad naya. Excuse me? A traditional New Year's tree.

pretty. Oh, and I should pick up some decorations for tonight's party. But don't you have to set up your cousin's

stall first? You're right, Franny. And I'm already behind. This way, Franny.

What does your cousin sell, Petra? Oh, many things Russians like to give us presents for the new year. Matroyska

dolls. Ooh. Painted eggs, lacquered boxes,

and woolen shaws and hats. Neato. Oh,

there. All set up. Jeepers. Something doesn't look right.

Oh, no. It's the boxes. We have to put them away so customers can see all the

things for sale here. Oh, yes. Yes. Must put away the boxes. No, but I've

forgotten the sign. Please slow down, Petro. You can only do

one thing at a time. But Franny, every time I think of something I have to do, I remember another thing. Here, let me

help you put up your sign. Oh, your sign's like a list, isn't it? Yes. It

helps the customers know what we're selling at the stall. A list? Are you thinking what I'm

thinking? Petro, if we make a list, the list will

help me remember all the things I need to do. Then I can do things one at a time.

And before you know it, all of your jobs will be done. Let me see. I have to put

away all these boxes. I have to buy a New Year's tree and decorations. And then there are the special fireworks.

Fantastic. Boxes are the first thing on our list. H. Where can we put them? Oh, I don't

know. There's so many boxes and so little space. Oops. I know.

We could flatten the boxes. That way, they'll take up way less room. No, but

my cousin will need the boxes ready to pack up the gifts when customers buy them. Pitiful.

But if we don't find a place to put the boxes, then no one will see my cousin stall, let alone buy anything.

Hm. How about we put the boxes under the table? That way, they'll be close by

when we need them. Let's get started. Here you go.

Here's another one.

All the boxes are put away. Fantastic. Oh,

pitiful. We've put far too many boxes under the table. We'll just take some

out then. No, Petra. We have to be careful or the table will tip over. We don't want

anything to break. Before we move the boxes, we should figure out where we can put them. Good thinking, Petrov. H.

That's it. We'll stack the boxes one on top of another. Then they'll be out of the way

of the customers. That's good thinking, too, Franny. [Music]

All done. Petrov, don't they look a bit shaky?

Uh-oh. [Music]

Phew. Good thing those foxes were empty. Except where am I going to put them now?

Petrov, one of your pretty dolls has broken in two. What? Oh no.

[Laughter] What's so funny? The doll is supposed to

open up. It's a nesting doll. See, there's a smaller doll inside and another inside that one and another.

Great. Galoopy. Look how many dolls can fit inside. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? We

can pack the boxes, one inside of the other, starting from the largest to the smallest, just like the nesting dolls.

Super idea, Franny. Let's take the time to do the job. Right. Right, Petro?

Right. First, we will start with the largest box and then this smaller box.

And so on and so on.

All done. And we took the time to do it right. Let's see our list. H putting away the

boxes is done. Hello, cousin. We set up the stall for you. Thank you. Now that

my cousin is here, you and I can get the New Year's tree and decorations. And then after that, we can go see the

fireworks. Bye. [Music]

We've done everything on the list except for the fireworks.

The fireworks are starting. Ooh,

[Music] Franny. Happy new year. Happy Russian New Year, Petrov.

I wish I didn't have to go, but I've got a list of things that I have to do at home. Dasa, Freddy. Bye, das.

Goodbye. [Music]

That was winter wonderful. [Music]

A Russian doll.

Another treasure for my shoe box.

And now it's time to make a list of all the things I have to do. I have to find my doll's ribbon, feed

Pickle, and put away my toys.

There's my doll's ribbon. Sounds like someone is keeping busy in here. Well

done, Franny. I see you've made a list. Yes, Grandpa. I had too many things to do and was in

too much of a hurry, just like my friend Petrov. He lives in Russia.

Indeed. But then I made a list of everything I had to do so I can do everything one at

a time. Well done, Franny. Now, how about we add

one more thing to this list of yours? Apple slices. Frantabulous.

Or should we say futabulous? Where will my feet take me tomorrow?

Sweet Talk

[Music]

H. [Music]

Oops. What are you thinking so hard about,

Franny? Oh, nothing, Grandpa. I'm going to the kitchen for some water. Would you

like something? No thanks. I'm not thirsty. Okay, Franny.

I need to think of a Valentine's Day present for Grandpa. I don't have much money, but Grandpa always likes presents

I make myself. I want it to be special, but I can't think of anything.

A customer.

Good day. How can we help you? I'd like to go bird watching, but I'm watching my shoes fall apart instead.

We'll fix your shoes up ligy split so you can fly off and watch the birds. Franny, can you take these to the fix it

box, please? Sure thing, Grandpa. Into the fix it box they go.

[Music]

Where will my feet take me today? [Music]

Zippy outfit. Great. Galoopy. Where am I? I'll tell

you where. Oh my. Ha. I startled you. So sorry. I've never seen a rock sprout

ahead and start to talk before. A rock sprout ahead. That's a good one.

I'm not a rock. I'm a tortoise. A saddleback tortoise. Oh my. Where are my

manners? My name is Thomas. Pleased to meet you, Thomas. I'm Franny. Where did

you say we are? We're on the Galopagus Islands, way out in the middle of the ocean. Would you like me to show you

around? There are lots of interesting things to see around here. That would be fantastic.

Oh. Oh, great. [Music] You'll see plants and animals here that

you won't find anywhere else in the whole world. In fact, this is the only place in the

whole wide world where saddleback tortoises like me live.

Wow, that's uh Thomas. Sh.

Quickly, hide. Why are you hiding? [Music]

Oh, hello there. Shh. Whoa. Who's that?

That's Tilly the tortoise. Is she a friend of yours? Well, is she a friend

of No. Uh, I uh want to be her friend, but she never ever pays any attention to

me. She can't pay attention to you if you're hiding behind a rock. I've walked

back and forth in front of Tilly for a whole week, but she never notices me. I I mean, I might as well forget about it,

right? Come on. I'll I'll show you around.

Ooh, I've never seen flowers like those before. They're fantabulously pretty.

They certainly are. The red ones are passion flowers and the white ones over there are morning glory.

Sammy, I've never seen birds with blue feet before either.

Those are bluefooted boobies. That's a funny name. The name booby

comes from the Spanish word. Huh? Which means clown. They sure do look like

clowns. Oh, what's he doing?

He's dancing. It's his way of telling the other bird that he wants to be friends. Hey, it

worked. He made a friend. Maybe it will work for you, too. Maybe

what will work? You want to get Till's attention, right? Maybe dancing is the

answer. Come on.

Here she comes.

Start dancing. Check it out. Yeah, I'm on fire.

[Music] You see, she didn't notice me. I I guess

I'm not much of a dancer. Sure you are. You're just a bit uh slow. Oh, what a

fantastic bird. What's it called? Oh, that's a frigot bird.

There's another one.

Jeepers. Its throat has blown up like a big red balloon. Yep, that's what frigot

birds do to get another bird's attention. It worked. The other bird noticed him.

Maybe Tilly will notice you if you're brightly colored. One problem. My throat

isn't red. And I can't puff it out like a balloon. That's actually two problems.

Don't worry. I have an idea.

I'm not so sure about this, Franny. It worked for the frigot bird. He got

noticed because of his brightly colored throat. There. Now Tilly can't help but

notice that your shell is brightly colored. She's coming.

[Music]

Hifle. She thought you were a flower bush. Thanks for trying to help, Franny, but

it's no use. I'll never get Tilly to pay any attention to me. Don't worry, we'll

think of something. Did I tell you that Galapicus is a Spanish word for saddle? So, the

Galapagus Islands are kind of named after me. Golly, what fantastic singing. Oh, yes,

that's a finch. They sing a lovely tune. Look, now there's two of them.

I know. Maybe you can sing a song for Tilly. Hey, Franny, that's a great idea.

Oh, I forgot I can't sing. Oh, I'm not good at being brightly colored and I'm

not good at dancing. So, I will just do what I am good at. show you around the

island and talk to you. Come on, Dad. Zuks, are you thinking what I'm

thinking? You're right, Thomas. You can't dance

like the blue-footed boobies or puff out your throat like a frigot or sing like a finch. But I know what you can do. You

can talk. Well, of course I can talk. You should go up to Tilly and talk to

her. But uh but but but but what would I say? Well, you could introduce yourself

just like you introduced yourself to me. Hello, my name is Thomas the tortoise.

And then you can tell her all about the things you know. Oh, well, all that's true. Okay, I guess I can give it a try.

There she is. Go on, talk to her. Okay, here I go.

Hello, my name is Thomas. Hey, my name is Thomas. Yo, my name is Tom. You dig?

My name is Thomas. It worked. It really worked. Franny,

you're a genius. I think she likes me. She smiled. Come on, I'll introduce you.

Thanks, Thomas. I'd love to meet Tilly, but there's something I have to do back home. Okay, Franny. Thanks for all your

help. Bye. Bye, Thomas. Have fun with your new friend.

That was fantastic. [Music]

A flower. [Music]

Another treasure for my shoe box.

Happy Valentine's Day, Grandpa. Why, thank you, Franny. Happy Valentine's Day

to you, too. I have something special for you. I made it myself. How

wonderful. That's my favorite kind of gift. At first, I couldn't think of

anything to make, but then I decided to use words just like Thomas did to make

friends with Tilly. Thomas? Tilly? Who are they? They're tortoises. They live

on the Galapagos Islands. Ah, I see. Here's my gift, Grandpa.

Some birds throats are red. Sunbird's feet are blue. You're my grandpa and I

love you. Belie, I think that's the nicest gift I can

ever imagine. I love you, too. Where will my feet take me tomorrow?

Halloween Harvest

[Music]

Double pipple with pumpkins on top. What's the problem, Franny? I'm trying

to think of what to be for Halloween, but I can't think of anything. I'm sure

you'll think of something. I can help if you'd like.

A customer. [Music]

What can we do for you this fine day? Well, I've been working hard all summer,

and now that it's fall, I can see that my work boots have fallen apart.

Don't worry. We'll fix your work boots up as good as new. Can you put these in the fix it box, please, Franny? Okie

dokie, Grandpa. Into the fix it box they go. [Music]

Where will my feet take me today? [Music]

Sensational sunflowers. Outstanding overalls.

They're wearing costumes. Need

shoo. Shoo. Huh? But I just got here and it looks like fun. Sorry, I wasn't

shoeing you away. I'm shoeing the crows away. [Applause]

You're more than welcome to stay. Ph. Thanks. I'm Franny, by the way. My name

is Molly. Pleased to meet you, Molly. Why were you chewing away the crows? To

stop them from eating our sunflower seeds. If I didn't shoe them away, my family would have nothing left to sell

at the fair. Shoo. Shoo, you pesty crow.

Shoo. This is my brother Nate. He sells the sunflower seeds our family grows in our

farm. Nate, this is my new friend Franny. Hi Nate. Hi Franny. Welcome to

the Harvest Fair. Jeepers. This sure looks like a fun

fair. Why is everyone wearing costumes? There's going to be a big costume party

later. Sounds fantabulous. What are you going to dress up as,

Molly? I'm not going to the party. You're not?

Why? That's why I have to keep the crows from eating all the seeds. Oh, no.

Shoo. Shoo. You pesty crow. Come on, let's get it back.

Hey, come back with those seeds.

[Music]

Yay! You got them. Oh, thanks Franny. You're welcome.

Chiefers, what was that? It was just a cat.

Look, it's chasing the mice away from that cheese stand. That's it. I know a

way for you to go to the costume party. You do? How? What you need is a cat to

keep away the crows. Just like that big orange cat keeps the mice away from the

cheese. It's a great idea, Franny. The only problem is I don't have a pet cat.

Huh? You might not have a cat, but I know where you can get a duck.

Thank you. The craftsman says we can borrow this windup toy duck for a while.

We can use it instead of the cat. It might just work. Thank you, Mr. Morris.

Look, Nate, we've brought a duck to keep the crows away. A duck? That's a new

one. I guess we can give it a try. [Music]

[Applause]

[Laughter] Um, that crow doesn't look very scared.

Shoo. Shoo. Hitful. It's not working.

Oh, I guess I won't be going to the costume party after all. I'm sorry, Molly.

It looks like crows love sunflower seeds so much it's going to take more than a wooden duck to keep them away. Show you

pesty crow. That's it. We have to find something

crows love even more than sunflower seeds. That way they'll leave the seeds alone. Well, the only thing they love

more than sunflower seeds is corn kernels. That's true. And I know just where to get some.

Shoo. Shoo. Shoo. Would you sh**t? Oh, good day. What can I do for you?

We'd like some corn kernels, please. Thank you. Let's hurry. The party will

be starting soon. [Music] No crow can resist corn. They think it's

the yummiest treat in the world. [Music]

It's working. Shoo. Oh no. I think they want the seeds for

dessert. Shoo. Shoo. Shoo. I guess crows love corn and sunflower

seeds. H. If crows love corn so much, then why

don't they eat all the farmer's corn at his corn patch? That's a good question.

We didn't see any crows around there, did we? Come on.

Excuse me, please. Can you tell us why the crows don't eat up your corn? Oh,

that's easy. My scarecrow keeps them away.

[Music] I know you need a scarecrow in your

sunflower patch. That's a great idea, Franny. But where will I get one? H

Well, the crafts people here at the fair make their crafts. Why can't we make a scarecrow? Woohoo! Maybe I can go to the

party after all.

Good work, you two. But will it keep the crows away?

[Music] It works. It works. The sunflowers are

safe. Now you can go to the costume party, Molly. I know. Yahoo! I'm so

excited. Oh no. What will I dress up as? I can't

think of anything. The best idea is right in front of you. A scarecrow.

And we can make it from the leftover material.

You look fantastic. Thanks, Granny. But something is

missing. I know.

Neat. Thanks, Franny. Do you want to come with me to the party? We can find a costume for you,

too. No thanks. I have to get back to the shoe shop. There's something important I have to do. Bye, Franny.

Bye, Franny. Thanks for everything. Bye, Molly. Bye, Nate.

[Music]

That was fantastic. [Music]

A sunflower seed. Another

treasure for my shoe box. [Music]

Oh, Grandpa. Yes, Franny. I know what I can be for Halloween.

I knew you would think of something. I'm going to be a shoe maker just like you.

Well, now isn't that wonderful? It was right in front of me the whole time,

just like the scarecrow was right in front of Molly. She needed to think of a costume, too. But she had to keep the

crows away from the sunflower seeds first. I see. But then we made a scarecrow, and it kept the crows away so

then she could go to the costume party. Well, Franny, you look wonderful.

Thanks, Grandpa. Are you ready to take me trick-or-treating? Just one more

thing.

There we are.

Now, let's go trick-or-treating. Where will my feet take me tomorrow?

Iwi the Kiwi

[Music] Here's Captain Franny of the good ship

Fantootsie getting ready to hoist her flag.

Aw, my flag isn't flying. Pitiful.

Grandpa, my flag won't fly. It won't even flap. It's a flop. I think you'll

have to wait for a windy day to see your flag flapping. Franny pitifull.

A customer. [Music]

Hello. What seems to be the problem? Good day. My sandals are falling apart.

Can you fix them before I fly home to New Zealand? Of course. I'll weave your sandals back together so they won't fall

off your feet. Can you put these in the fix it box, please, Frannie? Sure, Grandpa. Into the fix it box they go.

[Music]

Where will my feet take me today? [Music]

Neat outfit. Wow, this looks like a campground.

[Music] That sounds like grandpa when he's taking a nap.

I wonder who the sleepy head is. Oh, look. A hedgehog.

No worries. I'm fine. Hi, I'm Franny. Kiora. Franny. I'm Ew. Kiora. That's how

we say hello here in New Zealand. Oh, well then, Kiora to you, too. I'm sorry

I woke you up. No worries. You see, we Kiwi birds usually sleep in the day and

come out at night. A kiwi bird? Oopsie. I thought you were a hedgehog.

Hedgehog with a fine beak like mine? Not likely. Well, I better get back to

sitting on the egg. That's what Kiwi dads do.

[Music] Freddy, this is Kathy. She's the egg's

mom. Kathy, this is Franny. Kiora Franny. Kiora. Kathy, I've come to take

over the egg sitting. Love Kathy. Thanks, Zie. What a big egg. It's six

times bigger than a chicken's egg. Wow. Ew. Why don't you show Franny around the

bush while I take my turn on the egg? Good idea. After all, we kiwis are the

national bird of New Zealand. Who better to show her around than a kiwi? Look out.

The same tree every time. [Music]

No worries. I'm fine. Tata, Kathy. Tata. Ew. Tata, Freddy. Tata, Kathy.

It's a brilliant day for tramping. Tramping? I thought we were hiking.

That's what we call hiking around here. Oh, well, Ewee, if your feet get tired with

all this tramping, you can always fly. I wish. I mean, uh m I smell something

tasty. I'll dig up some grubs so we can have a feed.

[Music] Whoops. I'll get it. No thanks, Ee. I

don't eat worms. Oh, but I do like fruit. There's some fuzzy brown fruit on

that tree. That's a kiwi fruit tree, Franny. They named the fruit after us

kiwis. We're brown and fuzzy, too. I can't reach it. Ew. Could you fly up

and pick a kiwi fruit for me? I'd love to, Franny, but kiwis can't

fly. You can't fly? I thought all birds could fly.

Well, we've got strong legs for running and and sharp claws for digging

and super sniffers for smelling. But our wings are so tiny, you can't

even see them under our feathers. A bird needs bigger wings if it wants to fly.

But I can still pick a kiwi fruit for you. You can? If you lift me up, I can.

Okie dokie. [Music]

Ta. Ew. I'll peel that for you. Fuzzy fruitsies. It's green on the

inside. M. Kiwi fruit is yummy.

[Music] What's wrong, Ewee? Just once in my

life, I'd like to know what it's like to fly. I've got an idea. I'll make you

some bigger wings. Then maybe you can fly. That would be cute. But where are

you going to get the feathers? Come with me. Excuse me. Do you have some spare

feathers? I need to make some wings so Eevee can fly.

T for the feathers. there. Ready to fly, EW? Ready. Then hop up and

down to make your new wings flap. It's not working, Franny. I'm not

flying. Try hopping higher, Ewee. Yeah. Yeah,

I'm not flying yet. Try hopping faster, Ew.

I'm still not flying. Try hopping higher and faster.

I can't keep this up much longer.

[Music] No worries. I'm fine. Sorry, Ewee. I

guess that didn't work. Maybe kiwis just aren't meant to fly, Franny.

Well, if you can't fly, maybe you can feel what it's like to fly. I have an

idea. Can you feel the wind, Ew? Yeah, I can

feel it, Franny. I can feel the wind in my feathers. I I'm not going anywhere. I'm just lying

on a log. Tough for trying, [Music]

piffle. I guess I'll always wonder what it feels like to fly. Fuddle duddle. I wish I

could think of a way to get Ewee flying.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? You can feel what it's like to fly through the air on this swing. I'll show you.

That's brilliant, Franny. Now you try it.

[Music] Okay. No worries. I'm fine. Maybe you should

sit on the swing. I'll give you a push to get you started.

I'm moving through the air. I can feel the wind in my feathers. So, this is

what it feels like to fly. Hooray! This is amazing.

I've got to take over egg sitting from Kathy. We better run.

Kathy, no worries. I've got exciting news. I've

been flying. You must have quite a tale to tell. But I have exciting news, too. Our egg is

hitching. Brilliant.

Kiora, little one. I'm your dad. And and and as soon as you're old enough, I'm

going to take you and your mom flying. Ew. I've got to fly, too. Home. That is.

Come back and visit New Zealand anytime. Tata, Frankie. Tata everybody

[Music]

that was kiwi [Music]

a kiwi feather. There.

Another treasure for my shoe box.

Grandpa, I know how to get my flag flying. I'll do what Eevee the Kiwi did.

Ew. Kiwi? Eevee the Kiwi bird in New Zealand. I helped him feel like he could

fly by using a swing. Come on, Grandpa. How's this? That'll be now. All I have

to do is swing. It's flying, Grandpa. My flag is flying.

Hooray for Captain Franny and the good ship Fan Tootsie. Where will my feet take me tomorrow?

Lights in the Night

[Music]

Franny, what are you putting on the fridge? It's an announcement, Grandpa. I'm opening Franny's library.

See, Grandpa, this is the checkout desk. And these are the books.

Oh no, Pifle. It's going to take a long time to

pick up all these paper clips. It's okay, Franny. We can pick them up. Oh,

a customer.

[Music] Hello. How can I help you? My muklucks are mucky. They're leaving cracks all

over the Arctic. Don't worry. I'll clean them till they sparkle like snow. These

could use a trip to the fix it box. Franny, I'll do it, Grandpa. Into the fix it box they go.

[Music] Where will my feet take me today?

[Music]

Wintry winds. It's chilly out. Good thing I'm wearing a cozy coat.

[Music] It's my friend Moit the Moose. Hello,

Mowit. Hello, Franny. Whoops.

Have you come to the Arctic to see the dance of the spirits, too? The dance of the spirits. I've never heard of that

before. I met an old snowy owl. She said I should go north to the Arctic to see

the dance of the spirits. Sounds dancational. Yep. I don't know exactly who the

spirits are, but I sure hope they'll let me dance with them. If you dance as well

as you sing, I'm sure they'll let you join them. Oh, yes. I'm a dancing moose, too.

Eippity. Oops.

Let's move our hooves, Franny. But mow it. How do you know which way is north?

I've been following Polaris, the North Star. Eh, Polaris. See those stars?

That's the Big Dipper. Oh, I remember. It looks like a giant

soup ladle. If you follow the two stars on the end of the dipper, they point up

to Polaris. I see it, Moit. I see Polaris. You can also call it the North Star cuz

it's always in the north. Well, let's follow that star and move our hooves

north. Good thing the winter nights are so long

up here in the Arctic. Some days you hardly see the sun at all. We'll be able

to follow the North Star for a good long time, eh? And it's nice that the moon is

out, too. Uh-oh. It's getting cloudy.

Oh no, we can't see Polaris anymore. Now we can't tell which way is north.

H I think north is that way. Well, if we

want to see the dance of the spirits, we better move our hooves again.

We walked a long way. Oh no, those are the same rocks I saw

when I first got here. Pitiful, we must have walked in a big circle. Sorry,

Franny. H know it. When my grandpa and I go for a

drive and we don't know which road to take, we stop at a gas station and ask someone for directions. Uh Franny,

I don't see a gas station anywhere. Someone must be around here somewhere.

Hello. Hello. I don't think anyone heard me. You try

it. know it. You have a loud moosey voice. Okay, Franny.

Hello. Can anybody

hear me? We need directions.

Hi there. Oh, hello there. Uh, Franny,

do you think that's one of the spirits? No, Mowit. She's a seal. I'm Suka. Who

are you? I'm Franny and this is my friend Moit. Can you tell us which way is north? Well, I'm pretty sure it's

that way. Pretty sure. We need to be very sure so we don't get

mixed up and walk in a big circle again. Oh, I know. Wait here.

Here you go. This should help. Catch. I'll

get it. I'll get it. [Music]

I got it. Oh, I know what this is. It's a compass.

Thanks, Zuka. Now we can tell which way to go. The needle of a compass always

points north. See, no matter which way I turn the compass, the red tip keeps

pointing north. That is amazing. Is it magic? Nuh-uh. It's science. I

heard the Earth is like a gigantic magnet that's strongest at the North Pole. That's what attracts a compass

needle. The needle must be metal. And a magnet sticks to metal things. Like my

grandpa's fridge. Hey, you bet your blubber it's metal. A compass needle is a mini magnet. Oh, I just flip over

science. Suka, we're going north to see the dance of the spirits. Do you want to

come with us? Well, I don't know what that is, but checking it out would be cool as ice. Let's go north, everybody.

[Music]

Come on, Franny. It's too cold out for me to go swimming. I think this is about

as north as I can go. Does anybody see the dance of the spirits? I see lots of

floating ice, but no dancing spirits.

Ooh, the Aurora Borealis are out tonight. Cool.

Aurora. Borealis. But everyone around here calls them the northern lights. They're beautiful.

You know, the way they're moving, uh, they look like they're they're dancing.

Shimmering lights. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? I don't know, Franny. What

are you thinking? Maybe the northern lights and the dance of the spirits are the same thing. Really?

Suka, do you know what makes the northern lights light? Well, the Earth's gigantic magnet

attracts bits of energy that come all the way from the sun. So, it's those bits that shine and shimmer. But if you

use your imagination, they do look like spirits dancing.

I think so, too. Let's dance. Okie dokie. Come dance with us.

[Music]

That was dancerrific. But I better get home now. Goodbye,

Freddy. Goodbye, Mowit. Goodbye, Suka. [Music]

That was pretty delightful. [Music]

A compass. Another

treasure for my shoe box.

Grandpa, I think I know a faster way to pick up those paper clips. Good for you,

Franny. Wait right here. [Music]

A fridge. magnet. Just what I need.

A fridge magnet. Franny Suka the seal told me that the earth is like a gigantic magnet. It attracts energy from

the sun and from compass needles that are made of metal. Paper clips are made of metal, too. So, I bet this magnet

will attract them. It's working. What a magnetic idea.

Where will my feet take me tomorrow?
