CARL: Lemons!

CARL: I can't wait for Sheldon to get here, Mama!

CARL'S MAMA: Whoa!

CARL'S MAMA: [chuckle] I can see that, Carl!

CARL: Yes! Because for today and today only, we will have a

CARL: fresh-squeezed homemade lemonade stand!

CARL: For lemonade lovers everywhere!

CARL'S MAMA: Okay, do you have everything you need?

CARL: I do believe so.

CARL: One large lemonade sign, two gallons of water, one

CARL: cooler with ice cubes, pitcher, grams

CARL: of sugar, lemons, -ounce cups, and one Sheldon!

CARL: I definitely need the one Sheldon. I'm going to ask him

CARL: to make a dance to get us customers!

CARL: '‘Lemonade Stand! Lemonade Stand!'

CARL'S MAMA: And there he is, the one Sheldon!

CARL: Yes!

CARL: I just realized I forgot one thing, Mama! One large

CARL: spoon for stirring. Stirring is essential in

CARL: making homemade fresh- squeezed lemonade.

CARL'S MAMA: Ah! It sure is, honey. I'll run in and get you

CARL'S MAMA: the large spoon.

CARL: Thanks!

CARL: Sheldon! Are you ready for surprise?!

SHELDON: I'm always ready for surprises!

CARL: Then get ready for our Lemonade Stand!

SHELDON: [anxious gasp]

SHELDON: [uncomfortable shiver]

CARL: You ready to dance and chant

CARL: '‘Lemonade Stand! Lemonade Stand?'

SHELDON: Uhhhh...I forgot to do something at home, see you

SHELDON: later, byeee!

CARL: Sheldon?

CARL'S MAMA: Okay, how about two large spoons, one for each

CARL'S MAMA: of you to stir?

CARL: Well, it's not "“each"” anymore. It's now just me,

CARL: Mama! Sheldon left!

CARL'S MAMA: Oh, why did he leave?

CARL: I don't know. Maybe Sheldon needed to get home to

CARL: take out the garbage or do some homework. Or maybe he

CARL: just doesn't like me anymore...

CARL'S MAMA: Oh honey, I am sure that is not the case.

CARL: But he just ran off. This is very confusing.

CARL'S MAMA: So, why don't you just go check on Sheldon, and

CARL'S MAMA: ask why he left?

CARL: I can do that?

CARL'S MAMA: Sure! Just go ask him, honey.

CARL: Sheldon!

CARL: It's me, Carl.

SHELDON: Hi, Carl. Come in.

CARL: I'm here to check on you and ask why you ran off.

SHELDON: I don't know what you mean...

CARL: Well, you left very quickly after seeing my plan

CARL: for having a lemonade stand. I think something is

CARL: wrong.

SHELDON: How do you know? You're not me.

CARL: Here is why I think this. First, you love having

CARL: stands.

CARL: We did a bottle cap stand, a chocolate cookie

CARL: stand, a milkshake stand. And you were out there

CARL: dancing and chanting for each of them.

CARL: Second, you love being outside on a beautiful day,

CARL: and this is a beautiful day!

CARL: And third, you like playing with me. And I am me,

CARL: and want to play with you.

SHELDON: Okay. Yes, you're right, Carl. Something's

SHELDON: wrong. I'm scared of something.

CARL: Well, my dad told me that everyone is scared

CARL: of something. And I know that I am scared of

CARL: things, like that clown mask or the silvery black rock

CARL: at the park, or that scratchy sound those tree

CARL: branches make in my backyard...

CARL: Sheldon, what are you scared of? Why did you have to

CARL: leave?

SHELDON: Because...Because, I am of...

SHELDON: ...lemons.

CARL: Lemons?! The yellow fruit?

SHELDON: [uncomfortable shiver]

SHELDON: Yes.

CARL: Hmm...lemons.

SHELDON: I would like to get over my fear and try to have a

SHELDON: lemonade stand with you, but I am just too scared.

CARL: Well, I don't want my friend to do anything that

CARL: scares him so I will have the lemonade stand on my

CARL: own, Sheldon.

SHELDON: [sad sigh]

CARL'S MAMA: So...how did it go with Sheldon?

CARL: Sheldon wants to have a lemonade stand but he can't,

CARL: because he is scared of lemons!

CARL'S MAMA: Oh, that's too bad, Carl.

CARL: I'm sad because we always have so much fun at our

CARL: stands. Sheldon could be here right now, dancing and

CARL: chanting '‘Lemonade Stand! Stand!'

CARL'S MAMA: [chuckle] Sheldon is good at that!

CARL: I really miss Sheldon being here.

CARL: But to be here, he would have to not be scared of

CARL: lemons anymore.

CARL: I wish I could help Sheldon with his fear of

CARL: lemons.

CARL'S MAMA: Maybe you can.

CARL: How?

CARL'S MAMA: Do you remember when you were scared of toads?

CARL: Of course I remember. I wouldn't help in our garden

CARL: because that very large toad lived there.

CARL'S MAMA: Yes, right.

CARL: But then I did help in the garden and wasn't scared

CARL: of toads anymore!

CARL: How was I not scared of toads anymore?

CARL'S MAMA: I helped you become less fearful, remember?

CARL'S MAMA: We talked through why you were scared of

CARL'S MAMA: toads.

CARL: Right. I was scared because the big toad looked

CARL: like a little creature from outer space to me.

CARL'S MAMA: Mm-hmm.

CARL: And I thought it would stick to me with its long

CARL: tongue!

CARL'S MAMA: So, once I found out what you were scared of, I

CARL'S MAMA: helped you learn more about toads to help you

CARL'S MAMA: become less scared.

CARL: Yes! Like how they are amphibians, and toads only

CARL: catch bugs with their sticky tongue. And they don't

CARL: even ribbit!

CARL'S MAMA: And then, you slowly got closer and closer

CARL'S MAMA: to the toad.

CARL: And I was able to go to the garden and help plant and

CARL: pick vegetables, even with that big toad around.

CARL: But I still won't touch it!

CARL'S MAMA: Well, all in good time, Carl. But the important

CARL'S MAMA: part is the toad no longer stops you from doing

CARL'S MAMA: the things you like to do.

CARL: Yes! Maybe I can do that for Sheldon! Put the lemonade

CARL: on ice, Mama! I'm going to go help Sheldon.

CARL: Sheldon, I want to help you.

SHELDON: How?

CARL: I want to know more about why you are scared of

CARL: lemons.

SHELDON: Well...I was really little. And I walked into my

SHELDON: kitchen...

SHELDON: And saw something yellow on the kitchen table.

SHELDON: You know how I like the color yellow!

SHELDON: Well, this yellow thing looked yummy!

SHELDON: And that's when it squirted right in my eye!

SHELDON: Ahhh! Stingy!

SHELDON: Ahhh!

SHELDON: So that's why.

CARL: Okay, that sounded scary to me. I can understand why

CARL: you would be scared of lemons, but I am here to help

CARL: you learn more about lemons! I have one in my

CARL: pocket.

SHELDON: Ahhh!

CARL: Oh, sorry, Sheldon! Here...

CARL: It's all the way over here. It won't squirt

CARL: at you and you can't taste it from over here.

SHELDON: Okay...

CARL: Two facts about lemons, so you can know more about

CARL: them. Lemons are high in vitamin C which is SO

CARL: good for you! And lemons grow on trees.

SHELDON: Wow, I love fruits that grow on trees!

CARL: I know you do!

SHELDON: I don't want to be afraid. I want to have a

SHELDON: lemonade stand with you!

CARL: Why don't you try to walk toward the lemon very

CARL: slowly, a few inches at a time until you get used to

CARL: it? And if you don't want to, you don't have to.

SHELDON: [deep breath in and out]

CARL: You should smell it... because it smells

CARL: so citrus-y.

CARL: And feel it, because it is so bumpy-smooth!

SHELDON: I do like the smell. I'm not ready to hold it yet,

SHELDON: but I think I can at least be near them.

CARL: You are very brave, Sheldon!

SHELDON: Thank you, Carl. I think I'm ready to try the

SHELDON: Lemonade Stand.

CARL/SHELDON: Lemonade Stand! Lemonade Stand!

LOTTA: Lemonade Stand! I heard the chant and I'm always up

LOTTA: for lemonade!

CARL: Wonderful!

SHELDON: No! I can't do it!

LOTTA: Can't do what, Sheldon?

CARL: If you would just hold on one moment, Lotta. Be right

CARL: back to make your lemonade!

LOTTA: Hmm...

CARL: Sheldon, you're doing great, and have been so brave!

SHELDON: But my biggest fear with lemons is getting the

SHELDON: juice in my eye! So stingy!

CARL: I understand, Sheldon.

SHELDON: And squeezing it, and being around all those flying

SHELDON: juice drops is just... too much for this beaver

SHELDON: to bear.

CARL: Wait!

SHELDON: Why?

CARL: Because I just remembered something else! Did

CARL: you know I used to be scared of riding my

CARL: skateboard?

SHELDON: I did not know that, Carl.

CARL: I was scared, because one time I fell off my skateboard

CARL: and hurt my elbow. So I stopped riding my skateboard

CARL: because I didn't want to fall off and hurt my elbow

CARL: again.

CARL: But, after a little while, I really missed riding.

CARL: So, to help me not be scared of hurting my elbows,

CARL: I wore elbow pads!

SHELDON: Oh yeah! I do see you wearing elbow pads when you

SHELDON: ride your skateboard!

CARL: Yes! That way if I fall, I won't hurt my elbow!

SHELDON: That is a great idea, but...I don't think an elbow

SHELDON: pad would keep lemon juice from squirting in my

SHELDON: eye.

CARL: Hmm... something to protect your eyes...

CARL: I have a collection for this!

CARL: These goggles can protect your eyes from lemon

CARL: sprays!

SHELDON: Thank you, Carl! I am ready!

LOTTA: Cool looking goggles, Sheldon!

SHELDON: Ha! I squeezed a lemon!

LOTTA: Deee-licious lemonade!

SHELDON/CARL: Lemonade Stand! Lemonade Stand!

NICO: Lemonade!!!

NICO: I'll have some!

ARUGULA: Me too!

CARL/SHELDON: Coming right up!

CARL: Whoa!

NICO/ARUGULA/FORREST: Gasp!

LOTTA: Oh, no!

SHELDON: Mmm.

CARL: Sheldon!

SHELDON: I'm fine! Thanks to your goggles!

CARL: I will have a fresh batch lemonade made in...

CARL: ...six minutes and ten seconds!

SHELDON: Lemonade Stand! Lemonade Stand!

CARL: The Butterfly Collection

CARL'S MAMA: Good morning, pretty parsley! And hello,

CARL'S MAMA: rosemary!

CARL: Whee! [giggling]

CARL: Mama! Come quickly! My caterpillars are gone!

CARL: Did they escape? Did someone take them? Should we

CARL: call the police?

CARL'S MAMA: [chuckle] Okay, okay, before you file a missing

CARL'S MAMA: caterpillar report, I think you might want

CARL'S MAMA: to take a closer look.

CARL: Hey, wait a minute! I see a chrysalis!

CARL: And there's another one! And a third!

CARL: So, now the caterpillars are inside their chrysalises,

CARL: and they're getting ready to become butterflies!

CARL: Way to go, Steven, Dottie, and Mr. Pickles!

CARL'S MAMA: In about a week or two, your caterpillar

CARL'S MAMA: friends will be beautiful black swallowtail

CARL'S MAMA: butterflies!

CARL: I can't wait! Maybe they will follow me around like

CARL: baby ducklings follow their mama after they hatch!

CARL: First I had a caterpillar collection and

CARL: soon I'm going to have my very own butterfly

CARL: collection.

CARL'S MAMA: What are you up to, Carl?

CARL: I'm getting a jar ready for my butterfly collection!

CARL'S MAMA: Ooh! I have an idea! Why don't we go to the

CARL'S MAMA: library today? You can check out a book about

CARL'S MAMA: black swallowtail butterflies and learn a

CARL'S MAMA: little more about what they need.

CARL: That's a terrific idea!

MS. HUFFMAN: Hello, Carl!

CARL: I thought Steven, Dottie, and Mr. Pickles were

CARL: missing, but it turns out they're not missing. They're

CARL: just busy becoming butterflies! It'll take them

CARL: nine to days and I have the perfect spot for them

CARL: on my shelf, right next to my feather collection.

MS. HUFFMAN: I see! So, Carl. How can I help you and your

MS. HUFFMAN: new friends today?

CARL: I would like to find a book about black swallowtail

CARL: butterflies. Please and thank you.

MS. HUFFMAN: I have the perfect book for you, Carl!

MS. HUFFMAN: Follow me.

SHELDON: Hi, Carl!

SHELDON: What are you doing?

CARL: I'm collecting flower nectar!

SHELDON: How's it going?

CARL: Not so good.

SHELDON: When did you start collecting flower nectar?

CARL: It's not for me, Sheldon. It's for Steven,

CARL: Dottie and Mr. Pickles!

SHELDON: The nectar is for your caterpillars?

CARL: Nope! It's for my almost- butterflies! Come take a look!

CARL: Steven. Dottie. And Mr. Pickles. They're busy turning

CARL: into butterflies. I read in my library book that black

CARL: swallowtail butterflies drink flower nectar so I'm

CARL: trying to be prepared.

SHELDON: Wow, Carl! That's so cool!

CARL: Did you know that black swallowtail males have larger

CARL: yellow spots on their wings, and the females have

CARL: brighter blue markings?

CARL: And when Steven, Dottie and Mr. Pickles were still

CARL: young caterpillars, their markings were meant to look

CARL: like bird poop so hungry predators wouldn't eat them

CARL: up!

SHELDON: Seriously? That's so gross! Where are you going to

SHELDON: let them go after they turn into butterflies?

CARL: Why would I let them go? They're for my butterfly

CARL: collection! I'm going to keep them in a jar on my shelf

CARL: next to my feather collection.

SHELDON: Um...Do you think that's a good idea, Carl?

SHELDON: Won't Steven, Dottie, and Mr. Pickles run out of air

SHELDON: if they're stuck inside a jar?

CARL: You should probably go home now, Sheldon. I'm not

CARL: feeling well. I'm going inside.

CARL'S MAMA: Carl? Are you okay?

CARL: I am feeling angry because Sheldon doesn't think

CARL: keeping Steven, Dottie, and Mr. Pickles in a butterfly

CARL: collection is a good idea.

CARL'S MAMA: Ahh, so you're feeling mad, because Sheldon

CARL'S MAMA: told you what he thinks. What do you think,

CARL'S MAMA: Carl?

CARL: I think I would miss them if I let them go.

CARL'S MAMA: Yep, I get that. You've loved watching them

CARL'S MAMA: grow and change. Huh.

CARL'S MAMA: So, what does your new library book say

CARL'S MAMA: about black swallowtail butterflies?

CARL: It says they eat flower nectar, and you can find them

CARL: in gardens, meadows, and other open spaces.

CARL'S MAMA: Here's a question. What do you think it

CARL'S MAMA: would be like to live in a jar when you are

CARL'S MAMA: used to being in open spaces?

CARL: I guess I hadn't thought about that.

CARL'S MAMA: You know Carl, when I have a tough decision

CARL'S MAMA: to make, I talk to myself about the different

CARL'S MAMA: options I have. I think about the good and the

CARL'S MAMA: bad of each option and how what I choose

CARL'S MAMA: might affect others. It helps me to see the

CARL'S MAMA: better choice.

CARL: That's a good idea, Mama.

CARL'S MAMA: You take all the time you need, hun!

CARL: I need to collect my thoughts.

CARL: If I leave the butterflies in the jar... they

CARL: won't be able to eat nectar from flowers, or fly

CARL: wherever they want...

CARL: But if I let them out...

CARL: I might never see them again.

CARL: I still have a few more days to decide what to do.

CARL: Mama! Mama! Hurry!

CARL: My beautiful, breathtaking brilliant, black

CARL: swallowtail butterflies are here at last!

CARL: Look! There's Dottie! Over there is Mr. Pickles! And

CARL: Steven is about to emerge from his chrysalis!

CARL'S MAMA: [big gasp] This is exciting, Carl!

CARL: Mama! Steven is a girl!

CARL'S MAMA: Huh! How can you tell that?

CARL: Look how bright her blue markings are!

CARL'S MAMA: It's nice to see you again Steven, Dottie, and

CARL'S MAMA: Mr. Pickles!

CARL: Hello, butterflies! I love your beautiful wings. I

CARL: wish I could fly around with you.

CARL: Mama, I've been thinking a lot about what it would be

CARL: like to be a butterfly trapped in a jar without fresh

CARL: air and room to fly. And I tried really hard to collect

CARL: nectar so I could feed Steven, Dottie and Mr. Pickles.

CARL: But it turns out, it's not that easy.

CARL: So, I've come to a decision. I'm going to set the

CARL: butterflies free.

CARL'S MAMA: Well, I think that's a very kind thing to

CARL'S MAMA: do, Carl. So, how does that decision make you

CARL'S MAMA: feel?

CARL: I feel happy for the butterflies...but a little

CARL: sad for me.

CARL: Mama? Where do you think they'll go?

CARL'S MAMA: I'm not sure.

CARL'S MAMA: They'll probably go on exciting butterfly

CARL'S MAMA: adventures!

CARL'S MAMA: I know! Why don't we have a Butterfly Release

CARL'S MAMA: Party this afternoon? And you can invite

CARL'S MAMA: all your friends.

CARL: Oh! Can we make butterfly cookies for the

CARL: party too?

CARL'S MAMA: You bet!

CARL: This is Carl, calling Sheldon.

CARL: Sheldon, do you read me?

SHELDON: Carl, is that you?

CARL: Yes, it's me. I'm calling with an important

CARL: announcement. Steven, Dottie, and Mr. Pickles are

CARL: officially butterflies. Black swallowtail butterflies,

CARL: to be exact.

SHELDON: That's great news, Carl!

CARL: I'm also calling to say you were right. Keeping living

CARL: things in a jar isn't such a good idea after all...

CARL: So, I'm inviting you to my Butterfly Release Party this

CARL: afternoon.

SHELDON: You can count on me to be there!

CARL: One more thing, Sheldon. Can you spread the word about

CARL: my party so I don't have to keep talking about saying

CARL: goodbye to my butterflies?

SHELDON: Sure thing, buddy. See ya later!

CARL: Dad! You came!

CARL'S DAD: I wouldn't miss this for anything, Carl! I'm

CARL'S DAD: proud of you for making such a responsible

CARL'S DAD: choice.

CARL: Thanks, Dad.

CARL'S MAMA: Hello, Harold!

CARL'S DAD: Hi, Maude!

CARL'S MAMA: Carl, honey, are you ready?

CARL: I think so.

CARL: Thank you for coming to my Butterfly Release Party!

CARL: I really wanted to have a butterfly collection, but

CARL: Steven, Dottie, and Mr. Pickles need food, water,

CARL: air, and space to survive. And it wouldn't be fair to keep

CARL: them in a small jar when they have such big wings

CARL: to fly.

CARL: On the count of three!

EVERYONE: One. Two. Three!

EVERYONE: Yay!

CARL: Bye, Steven, Dottie, and Mr. Pickles! Have fun on your

CARL: adventures!

NICO: Wow!

ARUGULA: It's beautiful.

SHELDON: [amazed laugh]

FORREST: Wow!

SHELDON: Carl, buddy? We have something for you.

LOTTA: It's a little gift, Carl.

NICO: They're packets of seeds!

FORREST: So, you can grow more wildflowers and herbs to

FORREST: attract and feed even more black swallowtails! And

FORREST: maybe other kinds of butterflies, too!

ARUGULA: You can have a butterfly collection right

ARUGULA: here, in your very own garden!

CARL: That's a great idea! I am starting to feel better.

CARL: Thank you.

LOTTA: You're welcome, Carl.

CARL: It looks like there's a collection of delicious

CARL: butterfly cookies down there that still need to be

CARL: eaten. Who's going to join me?

EVERYONE: Me!

ARUGULA: Woo! Yes!
