Karl] When's the train going to get here?

Two minutes ago,according to the schedule. It's late.

How lucky for the passengers.

They get to enjoy their train ridefor that much longer.

I've never thought of it that way.

It's nice to findnew ways to think about things.

I'm so excited to meet your niece.

Yeah, me too.

How long is she going to stay?

She'll be staying for a few weeks, Karl.

I know Koo is excited to meet all of you.

Michael, what are these?

Capsule dispensers. Capsule dispensers.

You put a coin in the slot,then turn the dial and a toy comes out.

Really? Can I usemy coin I've been saving?

Sure. You want me to help you?

No, I can do it.

[Michael] It's a little panda.

Will we play later?

Oh, yeah.We have lots of fun things planned.

Would you like to see your room?

This is gonna be so much fun.

We'll see you soon, Koo.

Isn't she the sweetest? She's so nice.

I like how curious she is.

Did you see how she noticed everything?

What do you think of Koo, Karl?

She's fine, I guess.

I bet she's going to be great at sports.

[Addy] I wonderwhat kind of games she likes.

Hi, Koo.

This should be everything we need.

Here's what we'll be making. [chuckles]

Cute, aren't they?

So very precious.

I look forward to felting.Such a fun new craft.

Can you help me make this puzzle, Addy?

I'd love to, Karl, but I'm showing Koohow to make felt animals.

But it's the new onewe've been wanting to do.

We've already planned all these fun thingsfor Koo. She's our guest.

Why don't you join us?

I'm going to play cars.

Michael, come inside and see my racetrack.It has a double loop!

Sounds cool, but I'm getting readyto teach Koo how to play catch. Sounds cool, but I'm getting readyto teach Koo how to play catch.

It was a real hootto make this little fellow.

-What will we do now?-[Michael] Baseball!

Ready to learn how to play?

Here, Koo. Try on this glove for size.

Wait, Karl! Aren't you gonna join us?

I don't feel like it.I'm going to go fly my kite.

Hi, Stillwater.

I'll be taking Koo to the market shortly.Perhaps when we return.

That's okay. Never mind. [sighs]

Would you like to keep me companyuntil Koo comes home?

Hmm. You're havingsome big feelings right now.

I feel sad.

Nobody will do anything I want to dobecause Koo's here.

And everyone'sonly paying attention to her.

I wish things were back the way they were.

We were all used to thingsa certain way before.

But things have changed today,haven't they?

Yeah.

Is everyone going to forget about menow that Koo is here?

No one could ever forget about you, Karl.

Really?

Really. But I understand how you feel.

Would you like to hear a story aboutsomeone else who had these same feelings? Would you like to hear a story aboutsomeone else who had these same feelings?

Though he was getting bigger every day,

little Joey loved spending timewith his mama.

Look how fast I can go.

That is some serious hopping, my love.

[giggles]

Ah, what an angel.

So adorable. Mm-hmm.

Peek, peek.

Now, where's my little peek-a-roo?

Peek. [giggles]

[chuckles] Dorris. Dorris.You have to come see this.

Ooh. [chuckles] Peekaboo.

-Peek.-[both chuckling]

[giggles]

-[Dorris chuckles] Oh.-Oh, yeah? Well, look what I can do.

Mm-hmm. [squeals]

-Peekaboo. [squeals, chuckles]-[baby] Peek.

-What an angel.-[chuckles]

-[baby] Peek. Peek.-[neighbor] Peekaboo.

-[Dorris] So adorable.-[chuckles]

-Look at him.-Oh. [chuckles]

[gasps]

Can we go now, Mama?

All right, my love.

Why are you sitting all alone, Joey?

'Cause that's how I feel, all alone.

Oh?

Ever since Sister came along,it's like I'm all invisible.

I can see how you might feel that way.

Having a sister is going to takesome getting used to.

She also needs my love,but that doesn't mean I love you any less.

It doesn't?

Not in the least.

We have a very old saying, We have a very old saying,

"What is well plantedwill not be uprooted."

Just like this gum tree.

Its roots go deep, and it will always bea part of our community.

Just like you have deep rootsin our family.

I do?

The deepest.

-Peek.-[giggles]

I'm glad I have deep roots.

And I'm glad I have a little sister.Wanna know why?

Why?

Because someone needs to teach Jillyhow to do a triple hop.

And that's gonna be me.

Watch, Jilly.

Hop, hop, hop, hop.

You have to jump really highand really fast, like this.

Hop, hop.

[giggles] Joey, hug.

I have deep roots too, don't I?Just like Joey.

You do, indeed.

So I don't have to worry abouteveryone forgetting about me. So I don't have to worry abouteveryone forgetting about me.

You're right.

Michael and Addy haveall these fun things to do with Koo.

I want to have something funto do with her too.

Ah, your very own triple hop.

Uncle! I played catch.And made this very sweet owl.

This day has been fun.

I'm very glad to hear it.Are you ready to go to the market now?

Maybe when you get back,Koo and I could play?

Uncle, I wonder, could perhapsthe market wait so I can play now?

Of course.There's always time to shop later.

Oh! This is for you.

Uncle, look at this!A little me is inside.

I will cherish it. I will cherish it.

What do you wanna do?

The puzzle looked fun.And the racing cars were neat.

But may we fly kites?

Sure! I'm just about the best kite flyeron our whole block,

so I can teach you everything I know.

[both giggling]

[imitates bird squawking]

Hi, Stillwater.

Thanks again for letting ususe your house for the puppet show.

You're welcome, Addy.

And thank youfor your invitation to watch later.

I'll be so happy to seemy favorite friends do their puppet show.

I'm excited too, Koo. See you tonight!

I've been working really hard on thisall week.

I've got the puppets,the stage, a background.

Now all I need to do is finish the story.

Who do we get to be?

Can I be the parrot?[chuckles] He's funny.

Good, 'cause I made himespecially for you.

Really? Thanks, Addy!

[imitates parrot squawking]

Here's what I have so far.You guys can help me act it out.

Captain Carly was the best treasure hunterin all the seven seas.

She went everywherewith her best friend, Parrot.

[imitates parrot squawking] [imitates parrot squawking]

Nice squawking, Karl. [chuckles]

And they were always running away from…Barnacle Barry.

That's you, Michael.

I just had an idea.

What if it's at nighttime insteadto make it all spooky?

Watch this.

Argh, mateys.

[gasps]

Um, I guess.

And then what if the moonsuddenly comes out,

and they see Barnacle Barry's been hidingon the ship?

Maybe.

And then, what if--

It's just… It took a lot of workpainting that sunny day.

And I really wanted to use it.

I have an idea too!

What if her best friend is actuallya space alien?

There aren't any alienson pirate ships, Karl.

But I can do a really goodalien voice, listen…

[imitates alien voice] [imitates alien voice]

Maybe you can be an alienafter the show, Karl.

I made the parrot specially for you,remember?

Oh, um, the thing is,

I don't knowif it can be a parrot anymore.

[Addy] You glued on googly eyes?

[groans] It took me, like,forever to make that.

I was just trying to help.

This show isn't goingthe way I imagined it.

[sighs] I need a break.

[groans]

Wow, Addy looks mad.

Puppet shows have big feelings.What will happen next?

I'm not sure that waspart of the show, Koo.

Perhaps I should seeif Addy would like a breathing partner.

[breathing deeply] [breathing deeply]

[both breathe deeply]

And how is your breathing coming today,Addy?

[sighs] Not so good.

It seems you are finding itdifficult to relax.

I had all these plans for the puppet show

and worked really hardsetting everything up.

But when I asked Michael and Karlif they wanted to help,

they started ignoring my ideasand taking over with their own.

I thought it'd be fundoing it all together,

but maybe it would've been easierif I just kept it to myself.

[breathes deeply]

I can see why that would give youa lot of feelings.

You had a plan for this show, and suddenlythat plan was questioned by others. You had a plan for this show, and suddenlythat plan was questioned by others.

It feels a bit like what happenedto my friend, the painter.

She had her own plan for a mural.

Did other people tryto change her plans too?

[chuckles] Why don't I tell you about it?

[shutter clicks]

[Stillwater] Marina wasa very fine artist.

One summer, she was asked by the townto turn the plain old harbor wall

into a beautiful muralfor all her neighbors to enjoy. into a beautiful muralfor all her neighbors to enjoy.

[sighs]

Looking great, Marina.

Thanks. Just one last section to paint.

[Stillwater] But when she returnedto finish her mural in the morning,

she was surprised bysome changes that were made to it.

Oh, no!

Who painted over my mural?

You don't like it?

Bodhi.

You mean you did this?

You painted such a pretty pictureof our beach,

but it felt lonely without anyone in it.

I thought maybe I could help you.

[sighs] Bodhi.

It was kind of you to try and help,but I had something different in mind.

Hey! Look at Marina's mural now. Hey! Look at Marina's mural now.

How generous of youto let Bodhi paint himself in.

Uh, wha--

It was good before,but now it's even better.

You're right. It's so much better.

[Stillwater] As Marina listenedto her neighbors admire her mural,

something changedin how she thought about it too.

This was a muralfor everyone to enjoy, after all.

Maybe everyone had some ideasthat could add something extra to her own.

What will you paint next, Marina?

Actually, I was wondering,what would you like to see?

-I have an idea!-Hey, I know!

-I know!-Me too.

Could you paint me on the beach too,like Bodhi?

What about on your surfboard?

[chuckles] Even better!

[giggles]

[Stillwater] When Marina sawhow happy she made her neighbors,

she knew there was something specialabout this mural.

[Stillwater] It was a lot likethe mural she had first imagined.

But the great thing about this new onewas that she inspired others.

And that, in turn, inspired Marina.

It was still her painting,but it somehow also belonged to everyone.

I think I get it now.

Michael and Karl weren't tryingto take over. Michael and Karl weren't tryingto take over.

They were just excitedto put in their ideas, too.

To have inspired them like that isa great compliment to your own creativity.

Maybe I could try beingmore open to their suggestions.

And maybe, with all of us, it could becomesomething even better, like the mural.

I look forward toseeing the result tonight.

We're sorry, Addy.

We didn't mean to start changingeverything you worked so hard on.

I'm sorry I turned your parrotinto an alien.

But I fixed it!

You don't have to be sorry.

I'm glad you were excited aboutideas for my show.

It got me thinking,

maybe the pirate ship can be hitby a dark and spooky thunderstorm.

Awesome!

Yes!

That way, we can still useyour sunshine backdrop. That way, we can still useyour sunshine backdrop.

And, Karl, I think it'd be funny

if your parrot had a spell cast on himby the wicked witch of the sea

that turned him into a sea monsterwith lots of googly eyes.

[gasps] Then they have to findthe right spell to change him back.

All right!

[clears throat]Koo and I had an idea, too.

We made curtains.

[chuckles]

See, Addy? I knew you were going to makethe best show ever.

No, Karl.

We made the best show ever.And we better get it started.

[audience applauding]

[Addy] It all began

when Captain Carly's parrot got hitby the wicked witch's spell,

-turning him into a sea monster!-[Karl imitates sea monster]

[audience laughing] [audience laughing]

Listen. They like it already!

Sounds like they really do.

[Michael] Argh. Storm's a-brewing, mateys.

[Karl and Michael imitatethunder and stormy weather]

What a clever storm.And such a funny parrot.

Don't you think, Uncle?

Mm-hmm.

[Koo] Never have I seena show like Addy's before.

It's very special.

-Most special indeed, Koo.-[Karl imitating sea monster]

-[audience laughing]-[all laughing]

-[Michael] Argh, mateys.-[Addy] Heave to!

-[Stillwater chuckles]-[Karl squawks]
