[bunniefuu]

I can run so fast.

Addy monster can't catch me.

She won't catch you, Karl.

Addy monster get Karl.

Okay, that was fun.
Let's take a little break.

A break? Now? We just got started.

We've spent the whole day together, Karl.

We played robots and monsters,
I pushed you both on the swings,

and we played four games of kickball.

That's a lot of fun.
I think it's time for a break.

Okay, Addy.

I'm just going to go inside
for a little bit.

Let's go inside for a little bit too.

I'm going to take a break now, Karl.

I know! We're taking a break too.

I meant I need some time by myself.

You won't even know we're there.
I promise.

Karl, after playing outside so long,

I really need to have
some quiet time right now.

We can be really quiet.

I need quiet time alone.

Addy, will you make us a snack?

Can you ask Michael?

We like your snacks better.

Sorry, Karl, I'm reading now.

Open up. It's important.

What's so important?

I thought of something quiet.
You read to us.

I had fun spending time with you two,

but right now
I need some time just for myself.

Maybe she just needs to see
how much fun she's missing.

We need some fun toys.

I like to play with my toys.
Addy likes toys too.

Good idea, Koo.

Go get Terry Triceratops.
Addy loves Terry Triceratops.

Come on, Terry.

Let's stomp down the hallway
to Addy's room.

Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.

Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.

Addy. Come play.

Addy. Addy. Addy. Addy. Addy. Addy.

Addy. Addy. Addy. Addy. Addy. Addy.
Addy. Addy. Addy. Addy. Addy. Addy.

Are you done with your break yet?

Sorry, Karl.

I know you want to play some more,

but could you two please
go play somewhere else?

I guess we could play
over at Stillwater's.

Stillwater?

He's not behind here.

Maybe he's playing hide-and-seek.

He's not under there.

I don't see him anywhere.
Where is he hiding?

There you are.

Hello, Karl and Koo.

I'm sorry if I didn't hear you earlier.

I must have been concentrating very hard
on my knitting.

What are you making?

I'm making a scarf.

Knitting is one of my favorite things
to do when I need a quiet activity.

You're being quiet too?

I was being quiet.
Now I think I'd like a snack.

Are you hungry?

How did your day with Addy go?

We played a lot of games and monster tag,

but then she went into her room
and didn't let us in.

I see.

Yeah, she said she wanted some quiet,

and we were going to be quiet with her,

but she said she wanted to be alone.

Why would she need to be alone
when we were having so much fun together?

There are different types of fun.

You and Koo were happy
with loud and busy fun,

but after all day of playing,
perhaps Addy needed some quiet fun.

But we knocked on the door
and told her we'd be quiet.

It sounds like Addy needed a break.

That's what she kept saying.

Does this mean Addy won't ever,
ever want to play with us ever again?

I can see
how this would be worrying to you.

Maybe it would help to think of things
from Addy's point of view.

I wonder. Are there things
that you like to do on your own?

I don't like to do anything alone.

I like coloring. I can do that by myself.

Or drawing alone.

Well, I do like to play adventure
on my own with Mumu sometimes

if Addy or Michael aren't home.

That's kind of like being on my own.

But why would Addy want to be alone
if we're home?

There are many reasons
someone might want to be alone.

After a full day of play,
our bodies need rest too.

I never get tired of playing.

While you finish your snack,
how about I tell you a story

about a turtle
who also needed some quiet time?

Tomas and his friends
Luciana and Raimundo

were visiting the city of Rio de Janeiro.

There were many sights to see.

Beautiful beaches.

I could run up
and down this beach all day!

How are you doing, Tomas?

I'm having fun.
But I might need a break soon.

Interesting museums.

There's still so much to see.
Would you like to come, Tomas?

I can keep going.
But I'm gonna need a break soon.

Mountain trails
with views of the entire city.

Wow.

Tomas was having a lot of fun
with his energetic friends.

-But the more fun things they did…
-Race you!

…the more he knew he needed a break.

Once a year, the city has
a special party called Carnaval

where everyone gathers for a parade
with music, costumes and dancing.

I like parades.

I can hear the samba music.

The parade is coming.

I can't wait to see the floats.

Break time.

I'll see you later.

But Tomas is going to miss the parade.

-Tomas needs his time now.
-So he does.

Luciana and Raimundo
enjoyed the parade while Tomas rested.

They understood
that turtles need more rest than iguanas.

Even if it meant missing the parade?

Even if it meant missing the parade.

I love the costumes.

I love the samba dancing.

That was a good break. What's next?

Tomas, you're just in time.

Look up, my friend.

I love it. I love it!
Did you see that?

Look at that one.

Wow! I love the colors.

He missed the parade,

but he came out of his shell
just in time to see.

Boom, boom, boom!

It must have been so much fun
to see those fireworks.

He just needed some quiet time first.

That's right, Karl. We call that balance.

Tomas the turtle needed a break like Addy.

Koo and I are iguanas.

If Addy rests some, maybe then
she can join us again for more fun.

Oh, there you are.

Addy, you came out of your shell.

-Don't you mean my room?
-No, I meant shell.

Did Stillwater tell you a story?

Yes. We're iguanas, and you're a turtle.

I see. Do you iguanas want to play a game?

But I thought you wanted to take a break.

I did take my break.

Then it's time to samba!

Samba, samba, samba

We are iguanas.
Come and dance in the parade.

Turtles come dance too.

Let's play Carnaval!

Boom, boom, boom, boom, ba, ba

Ba, ba, ba, ba, boom, boom

Go, iguanas. Go, iguanas.

Bum, ba, ba, da, da, da

Da, da, da, da, da, da!

Yeah!

Ba, ba, ba, ba, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, ba, ba

Karl.

Nice dance moves.

-Oh, hey, there's Tommy.
-Hi, Tommy.

Oh, yeah!

Tommy? Hello?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yes.

There. Yes! New speed record!

Oh, Maya, Addy.
How long have you been standing here?

Oh, sorry.
I was playing with my new GeoGo puzzle.

My GeoGo puzzle kept me up
way past bedtime last night.

You have one too?

I'm surprised you've never seen one.

Wanna give it a try?

-Sure. How does it work?
-It's easy.

All you gotta do is move the sliders
around until you make a picture.

This goes here?

-Actually you should...
-Let Addy figure it out.

Maybe...

Guess I need more practice.

Don't feel bad, Addy.
This puzzle is pretty tricky at first.

But after you figure it out,
it's super easy.

Here, take it home with you.

-Are you sure?
-Definitely.

It's really fun
once you get the hang of it.

And when you do, I bet
you'll be breaking our speed records.

Okay. Deal.

Tommy and Maya said
this would be super easy.

This is not easy.

Hi. Whatcha doing?

Hey, Addy. We're cloud-watching.

I found a two-headed giraffe.

Would you like to join us?

Sure, Stillwater.

Hey, a GeoGo!
Everyone's talking about 'em.

Where'd you get it?

Maya let me borrow hers.

She and Tommy make it look so easy,
but I'm stuck at the beginning.

It's so frustrating.

I hear the trick is
to look for patterns as you go.

Can I try it?

I just don't get why it's so hard for me.

-Done.
-What?

That was fast. Can I try?

Let's give Addy another chance.

-Come on. I'll help you as you go.
-Okay.

Look for the pattern. You got this.

Take your time.

-See where it starts to make a shape?
-No.

-Just move that one down a space.
-Like this?

But that doesn't make any sense.

You really can't see how they line up?
It's right there.

I can't see it, okay?

Okay.

I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to snap at you.

I know you're trying to help,
but it's making me more confused.

You know, when I'm faced with a challenge,

sometimes I see things differently
after taking a break.

Yeah, maybe a break's a good idea.

-Can I please try the puzzle?
-Okay, sure.

It's like a rainbow pizza.

Maybe you're right, Stillwater.

I just need to rest my eyes,

and then maybe I'll start to see
what Michael was trying to show me.

I did it? I did it!

Look, Addy. I found the star.

You did.

And I didn't.

I guess I'm just not as smart
as everyone else.

What? That's not true.

Well, that's what it feels like.

Have you ever seen me do the limbo?

I think I would have remembered that.

Come. I'd like to show you something.

Hey, Karl, let's see
if you can find the cat shape next.

That puzzle you have
seems to be a frustrating challenge.

How come everyone else can do this,
but not me?

Even Karl.

What's wrong with me, Stillwater?

When something seems easy for everyone
else but challenging for ourselves,

it can be upsetting.

No kidding.

I have always wanted to do the limbo.

But unfortunately,
it's harder for pandas to bend backwards.

Really? You mean you can't do this?

Not the way you do.
And it can be frustrating.

But I know there is nothing wrong with me.

I'm just built differently.

Not all challenges are physical.

Sometimes, they can be
in the way we think too.

Like how reading or math can be harder
for some people?

But it's because letters
and numbers look different to them.

We often think all birds can fly.

Can't they?

What about penguins?

I forgot about them.

I know a story of a penguin
who thought he was supposed to fly.

Supposed to? How'd that go?

A lot differently than you might expect.

It begins with an albatross

who had flown a long, long way
to the South Pole.

Hello there.

It's good to see another bird
after such a long flight.

What are you doing there?

My favorite thing,
collecting shiny pebbles.

Stunning!

My favorite thing is a sunset soar.
Care to join?

Soar? Penguins don't fly.

They don't?

Well, you're a bird, aren't you?

Yes, I am a bird.

And birds are supposed to fly.

But the penguin should know he can't fly.

Maybe so,

but the penguin was determined to do
what the albatross could do.

I have wings. Why can't I fly?

I'll just need to try harder this time.

I'm doing it! I'm flying!

But the penguin wasn't about to give up.

More feathers.
Now I'm ready to fly like a bird.

How about we take a break
and look for some pebbles?

The two new friends found
an especially dazzling pebble.

I want to see this sparkle in the light.

But when the albatross took to the sky…

I dropped my pebble!

I'll get it.

Under the water that day,

the penguin noticed something
that he never really had before.

The way he was gliding, swooping, soaring…

He was flying in the water!

He was flying.

While penguins don't fly in the usual way,
they aren't any less of a bird.

Here you go.

Thank you.

It wasn't fair of the penguin
to be angry at himself

for not being able to fly in the air
like the other birds.

He wasn't built for that.

Just like it would be unfair
if a panda were hard on himself

for not being a limbo expert.

The penguin did fly in his own way.
And he was happy with that.

Maybe I can find my own way to fly too.

And instead of focusing on
what everyone else can do,

I should think about everything I can do.

There are many things you do well.

Yeah. I'm a good runner, a good friend
and a good baker too.

I need a recipe!

Are you going to do some baking?

No, for the puzzle.

I just thought of my own way to fly.

Maybe I can't see the patterns
like everyone else does,

but I am good at following a recipe.

I just need to look at it
one part at a time,

like ingredients in a cake.

That's really clever, Addy.

I've never thought of solving it
that way before.

Just because I can't solve it
the same way everyone else can

doesn't mean I can't solve it.

Left. Left. Up. Down.

I did it!

You certainly did, Addy.

You know, this gave me an idea,
Stillwater.

I wonder if we can find
your own way to do the limbo.

Ready to limbo?

I'm ready.

-Go, Stillwater!
-Look how low you're going!

-You're doing it, Stillwater!
-So this is what it feels like.

-Excellent!
-Limbo!

-Go, go, go!
-Yeah!

With our spirits
We were floating through the trees

Like creatures, we were soaring high
Blowing off some steam

Or a mountain
And its effervescent green

A never-ending dream

I found a little bit of honey

And now I'm a little sweeter inside

It's just a little bit funny

But now I have the world on my side
