>> What a wonderful day for
a walk!
>> Yeah, Mom, I love sunny
days!
There are so many interesting
things to see and smell and
find!
(Giggling)
>> Elinor, you notice
interesting things on any kind
of day!
>> Hmm, I notice things on rainy
days, and windy days and cloudy
days...
Hey, it's true, Olive!
I notice things on all kinds of
days!
(Giggling)
>> Phew!
Wait up, guys!
How do you walk so fast?
>> Oh, Ari, you look like you
could use a break.
Let's stop here for a minute.
>> Good, I'm a bit thirsty!
(Gulping)
>> Ah, that's better.
(Chomping)
(Wind rustling)
>> Brrrr....
I feel a little bit chilly here!
>> Really?
I'm not cold.
It's nice and toasty in the sun.
>> Wow, the sun can really warm
you up!
>> Yeah, standing in the shade
cools you down, and the sun
warms you up.
Warm.
Cool!
Warm.
Cool.
>> That's so neat!
>> Okay, let's keep going!
Ari, are you feeling better?
>> Yeah, thanks, Mrs. Rabbit!
Parents are the best!
(Laughing)
>> Why, thank you, Ari.
>> BEAVER: Oh no, no, no, no...
That wasn't the plan...
>> I wonder what's going on?
>> Nope, nope, nope!
That just won't do.
>> Hello, Mrs. Beaver.
Is something wrong?
>> Is something wrong?
Oh, only everything!
We can't do anything today.
We are supposed to build a new
park bench right over there!
>> That's a great spot for
a bench!
It would have such a nice view
of the river.
>> Oh, I see.
That rock is in the way.
>> Yep.
>> Do you need help moving it?
I'm super strong, I can do it!
>> Thanks, Ari, but moving the
rock is not the problem.
The problem is that there are
two lizards sitting on the rock
and they just won't budge!
And of course, park rules say we
can't build something if there
are animals there.
Oh, we've tried everything to
get them to leave so we can move
the rock and build our bench,
but nothing works!
>> Did you try shoo-ing them
away?
>> Yup.
>> Did you try calling them to
come over here?
>> Tried it.
>> Did you wave your arms?
>> Yes.
>> Did you try whistling them
over?
>> Yup.
>> Did you try singing a song
and doing a silly dance?
Like this!
♪ La, la, la, la, laaa.... ♪
♪ Pa-dam pow-chhh ♪
Hey, it could work!
(Laughing)
>> Oh, Ari!
Do the lizards ever move?
>> Yes, they do leave at the end
of the day, but by then it's
too dark for us to work!
>> What about in the morning?
>> Every morning they come back
and climb on top of the rock
again!
>> Mrs. Beaver, have you thought
about building the bench in a
different spot?
>> A different spot?
Oh, no, no, no, no!
The plans say we have to build
it there!
Oh, if we don't figure out
something soon, we won't be able
to build the bench!
>> Hmm.
Can I take a look at the plans,
Mrs. Beaver?
>> Oh, please do!
>> Hmm, that is so interesting!
I wonder why the lizards like
that rock so much?
>> There's another rock right
over there.
I wonder why the lizards like
this rock, and not that other
one?
>> Good question, Ari.
If we knew what they liked about
that rock, maybe we could figure
out a way to move them to
another rock!
>> Hmm, it sounds like we need
more observations!
>> Yeah!
>> Cool!
>> Okay, why do the lizards like
to sit on that rock so much?
>> Maybe they like the view
of the river?
>> But they're looking the wrong
direction.
>> Maybe they're playing a super
long game of freeze tag?
>> Hmm, but they do move.
They leave at the end of the day
and come back in the morning.
And I've never heard of lizards
playing tag.
>> I wonder what lizards do like
to do?
>> I know!
Let's learn more about lizards.
Olive, do you have your nature
book?
>> Of course!
It's my favourite book!
Let's see... ladybugs...
leaves, lily pads ...
Ah, here it is, lizards!
Lizards are animals with scaly
skin.
They mostly eat bugs...
>> Crunchy!
(Giggling)
>> And they also eat worms.
>> Slurpy!
(Squealing)
(Laughing)
>> But they also like fruit!
>> I like fruit!
>> And it says here that lizards
can't make heat all by
themselves.
So they need the sun to warm
themselves up.
>> That is so interesting.
>> Cool!
>> Hmm...
(Wind blowing)
>> Speaking of cool, I'm feeling
a little chilly here in the
shade.
I'm gonna move over here where
it's sunny.
Ahh, that's better.
>> Oh...
That's it, it's the sun!
The lizards must like that rock
over there because it's in the
sun!
>> You're right!
They look nice and toasty over
there.
>> Oh, the rock is where they
sit to get warm!
>> Hmm.
But why do they leave at the end
of the day?
>> Hmm...
I know!
There is no sun out at the end
of the day.
That's why they leave!
>> That's it!
Let's go tell Mrs. Beaver
and my mom!
>> Uh-oh.
>> Mom, I think we discovered
something!
The lizards like to sit on that
rock because it's in the sun.
>> Lizards use the sun to warm
themselves up.
>> And that other rock is too
shady and cool for them.
>> I think you're right, kids.
Lizards can't get warm by
themselves, so they like to sit
in places that get a lot of sun.
>> Huh, well, I'm glad we
figured that out, but how do we
get them to move!?
>> Hmm, well, now that we know
why they like that rock, maybe
we can figure out how to make
them move to another rock.
>> Yeah, we need to get the sun
off of their rock and onto
another rock.
>> Okay, all we have to do is
move the sun from there to over
there!
Uh, Mr. Buffalo, can you
move the sun?
(Snorting, grunting)
(Giggling)
>> Ari, we can't move the sun!
>> No, but we can move that
other rock into a sunny spot.
>> Great idea!
Let's go!
♪
>> I'm super strong!
(Grunting)
(Grunting)
(Giggling)
(Giggling)
>> Perfect!
That's just the way lizards
like it.
Nice and sunny!
>> We can make it even nicer for
the lizards.
Let's get them some snacks!

>> Maybe they haven't noticed
yet?
>> Hey, lizards, look at that
warm rock over there!
>> It's in the sun!
>> Check it out!
It's got worms and fruit and
it's nice and warm!
>> They're not moving.
>> I guess they like their rock.
>> But our rock is sunny and
warm, too!
>> Don't move.
That's it!
Your shadow!
We need shade!
Good thinking, Ari!
>> Yeah!
Umm... wait, what?
(Whispering)
Oh, I get it!
I can make shade on the rock to
cool it down!
Leave it to me!
♪
>> They still aren't moving!
>> It must not be cool enough
yet.
>> I... can't... fly forever!
>> It's working.
(Cheering)
>> Oh, we did it!
Whoo-hoo!
>> They moved!
Good job, kids!
>> Oh, thank you!
Thank you so much, kids!
Now we can build the bench and
finish the project!
>> And the lizards can still
stay warm on their new rock.
>> Good job, Ari!
>> Phew!
(Sighing)
Now I'm a bit hungry too!
>> Well, the lizards ate the
fruit but there are still some
worms left!
>> Okay, I'm not that hungry.
(Laughing)
>> Where did Ms. Mole go?
She was just here.
>> Isn't it story time?
>> Surprise!
(Kids gasping)
Here I am!
(Laughing)
I love it, because today's story
time is about surprises, and
what lizards do when they get
surprised!
This lizard is about to get
a big surprise.
(Bird screeching)
Look out, up in the sky!
There's a hawk!
(Gasping)
The hawk swoops down, but then
something surprising happens.
The lizard's tail falls off!
>> ARI: Whoa!
>> Don't worry, kids, our lizard
friend isn't hurt.
A lizard can drop its tail on
purpose.
>> Ooh, wow!
(Screeching)
>> The tail wiggles so that the
lizard can escape.
>> Is the lizard okay without
a tail?
>> Yes, and this lizard has one
more surprise for you.
Over the next few months,
the lizard grows a new tail.
>> KIDS: Whoa, cool!
>> And that's the end of our
story.
Boo!
(Shrieking)
(Laughing)
Nice try, Ari, but it's not so
easy to surprise this old mole.
>> You're right!
Ms. Mole, you are one cool
teacher, and you win...
(Imitating a drum roll)
The surprise prize!
(All laughing)
♪
(Grunting)
>> Whoo-hoo!
(Giggling)
Oh yeah!
Flying is so fun!
(Birds chirping)
>> Huh?

Oh, cool!
A bird feather!
(Blowing gently)
Wow, that's so neat!
(Grunting)
(Giggling)
Ahh!
(Giggling)
(Sighing)
(Giggling)
You're my new lucky feather!
I can't wait to show Olive and
Elinor!
(Humming)
(Kids laughing)
(Kids laughing)
(Humming)
>> There!
(Humming)
>> Nice!
>> What do you think, Olive?
>> I think our sand castle came
out pretty well, Elinor.
>> Yeah, but it doesn't look
quite done yet.
>> Really?
(Laughing)
(Sighing)
>> There they are!
They're gonna love my lucky
feather.
>> What do you think it
needs?
>> Hmm, I don't know.
I just feel like it's missing
something.
>> What if we add a tower?
>> Aww, they didn't notice.
>> Hmm, I don't think we need
another one.
(Sighing)
>> Or maybe we need a flag?
>> That would be nice!
>> Something bright and
colourful?
(Clearing throat)
>> Oh, hi, Ari!
>> When did you get here?
>> I...
Never mind.
Hi, Elinor!
Hi, Olive!
Notice anything extra cool about
me today?
>> OLIVE/ELINOR: Hmm...
>> Is that a new shirt?
>> It's a nice colour.
(Sighing)
>> No, you guys!
Look, on my hat!
>> Whoa...
Is that a feather?
>> Cool!
It's so bright and colourful.
Where did you get it?
>> Well, let me tell you!
I was walking in the forest,
when suddenly, I heard something
moving up in the trees!
And then, this feather came
floating down, and it landed
right on my head!
>> Wow, how lucky!
A bird feather!
>> It is lucky!
I call it my lucky feather!
>> Can I see it?
(Giggling)
>> My turn!
(Giggling)
(Blowing gently)
(Giggling)
>> It's really pretty.
>> Wow, it looks like it has
little hairs when I brush it
with my finger!
That is so interesting!
>> I didn't notice that.
>> And the colours are so
beautiful!
>> It would be cool if we had
feathers.
>> I wonder, why do birds have
feathers?
Hmm.
>> Good question, Elinor.
Hmm.
I know, maybe birds use their
feathers to tickle each other?
(Laughing)
>> Wait, my parents have pillows
with feathers in them.
Maybe birds have feathers to
sleep on them?
>> ALL: Hmm.
>> It's a mystery.
Why do birds have feathers?
>> I have an idea!
Let's go look for some birds and
see if we can figure it out!
>> Yes!
I'll get my notepad!
>> We need more observations!
(Giggling)
(Humming)
>> There sure are lots of birds
around here!

(Bird chirping)
(Gasping)
(Bird chirping)
>> Hey, little birdie!
We're trying to figure out what
your feathers are for.
Can you tell me?
Hold up, hold up!
>> Hmmm.
(Bird chirping)
You have wings just like I do.
But yours are made out of
feathers.
I think I figured it out!
Birds have feathers to help them
fly!
I can't wait to tell Olive and
Elinor!
(Bird squawking)
(Gasping)
>> You two birds are really
colourful!
I wonder if you like being blue.
It's my favourite colour.
Oops!
(Giggling)
Uhhh...
There we go.
That looks better.
Hey!
You wear blue on your head too!
>> Hmm.
I think I figured it out!
Feathers are for being
colourful, just like my bow!
I can't wait to tell Ari and
Elinor.
(Humming)
(Quacking)
>> Ooh...
(Quacking)
(Laughing)
(Quacking)
Ooh, pretty ducks!
It's a whole duck family!
(Quacking)
Hello, duck family!
Can you tell me why birds have
feathers?
(Quacking)
(Giggling)
That water must be cold!
But you all look so nice and
warm with those soft and cozy
feathers.
Hmm...
I think I figured it out!
Birds use feathers to stay warm!
I can't wait to tell Ari and
Olive!
(Laughing)
>> ALL: Hey guys!
I figured it out!
(Cross-talking)
(Giggling)
>> Wait, guys, one at a time!
>> Okay, I'll go first.
I think birds need feathers to
help them fly!
Their wings are made of
feathers!
>> Yeah.
>> That makes sense.
But wait...
I have a different idea.
I saw birds that had bright blue
feathers.
I think birds use feathers so
they can be colourful.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Maybe...
(Chuckling)
>> But I have a different idea,
too!
I saw a duck family coming out
of the water, and their feathers
were like a snuggly coat.
I think birds use feathers to
stay warm.
>> Okay.
>> That also makes sense.
>> But definitely flying is the
most important.
That must be why birds have
feathers.
>> But if birds didn't have
colourful feathers they would
all look the same!
I think birds have feathers to
have colour.
>> I don't know.
If they didn't have feathers,
they would get so cold!
So I think feathers are to stay
warm.
>> We have three good ideas!
>> Which one is the real reason
why birds have feathers?
>> Hmm...
How can we figure it out?
>> Hmm...
Do you little scientists mind
if I ask you a few questions?
>> Sure, Ms. Mole!
>> Ari, that's a nice hat.
Why did you pick that one today?
>> Um, thanks!
It's my favourite and it keeps
me warm!
>> So you chose your hat to keep
you warm?
>> Yeah.
Also, it has a secret pocket
for snacks!
Mmm-mm!
>> Olive, what about you?
Why did you choose that shirt
and that skirt?
>> Well, blue is my favourite
colour, of course!
>> Ah!
So you chose your clothes
because of the colour?
>> Mmm-hmm, I love blue!
>> And what about you, Elinor?
Why did you choose that jacket?
>> It looked like it might rain
this morning, so I picked this
raincoat.
>> Ah, yes, of course!
So you chose it to stay dry?
>> That's right, Ms. Mole.
>> Good.
Now tell me, what's the reason
we wear any clothes at all?
>> To stay dry!
>> To stay warm!
>> To show colours!
>> So, which is it?
Is there just one reason?
>> They're all good reasons!
>> That's right!
Sometimes there's more than one
reason for something!
Your clothes help you in many
ways, just like feathers help
birds in many ways.
>> I get it!
>> There's more than one reason
why birds have feathers!
>> Yeah, birds have feathers to
fly and to stay warm, and to be
colourful!
>> We all figured it out!
>> All right, all right,
all right!
>> Whoo-hoo!
>> Awesome!
>> Yay!
>> Whoo-hoo!
(Giggling)
>> Wait, I thought of one more
thing feathers are good for.
There we go!
They're also good for finishing
sand castles!

>> It's in the sun!
>> Check it out!
It's got worms and fruit and
it's nice and warm!
>> They're not moving.
>> I guess they like their rock.
>> But our rock is sunny and
warm, too!
>> Don't move.
That's it!
Your shadow!
We need shade!
Good thinking, Ari!
>> Yeah!
Umm... wait, what?
(Whispering)
Oh, I get it!
I can make shade on the rock to
cool it down!
Leave it to me!
♪
>> They still aren't moving!
>> It must not be cool enough
yet.
>> I... can't... fly forever!
>> It's working.
(Cheering)
>> Oh, we did it!
Whoo-hoo!
>> They moved!
Good job, kids!
>> Oh, thank you!
Thank you so much, kids!
Now we can build the bench and
finish the project!
>> And the lizards can still
stay warm on their new rock.
>> Good job, Ari!
>> Phew!
(Sighing)
Now I'm a bit hungry too!
>> Well, the lizards ate the
fruit but there are still some
worms left!
>> Okay, I'm not that hungry.
(Laughing)
>> Where did Ms. Mole go?
She was just here.
>> Isn't it story time?
>> Surprise!
(Kids gasping)
Here I am!
(Laughing)
I love it, because today's story
time is about surprises, and
what lizards do when they get
surprised!
This lizard is about to get
a big surprise.
(Bird screeching)
Look out, up in the sky!
There's a hawk!
(Gasping)
The hawk swoops down, but then
something surprising happens.
The lizard's tail falls off!
>> ARI: Whoa!
>> Don't worry, kids, our lizard
friend isn't hurt.
A lizard can drop its tail on
purpose.
>> Ooh, wow!
(Screeching)
>> The tail wiggles so that the
lizard can escape.
>> Is the lizard okay without
a tail?
>> Yes, and this lizard has one
more surprise for you.
Over the next few months,
the lizard grows a new tail.
>> KIDS: Whoa, cool!
>> And that's the end of our
story.
Boo!
(Shrieking)
(Laughing)
Nice try, Ari, but it's not so
easy to surprise this old mole.
>> You're right!
Ms. Mole, you are one cool
teacher, and you win...
(Imitating a drum roll)
The surprise prize!

(Grunting)

Oh yeah!
Flying is so fun!

Oh, cool!
A bird feather!
(Blowing gently)
Wow, that's so neat!
(Grunting)

Ahh!

(Giggling)
You're my new lucky feather!
I can't wait to show Olive and
Elinor!

(Kids laughing)
(Kids laughing)
(Humming)
>> There!
(Humming)
>> Nice!
>> What do you think, Olive?
>> I think our sand castle came
out pretty well, Elinor.
>> Yeah, but it doesn't look
quite done yet.
>> Really?
(Laughing)
(Sighing)
>> There they are!
They're gonna love my lucky
feather.
>> What do you think it
needs?
>> Hmm, I don't know.
I just feel like it's missing
something.
>> What if we add a tower?
>> Aww, they didn't notice.
>> Hmm, I don't think we need
another one.
(Sighing)
>> Or maybe we need a flag?
>> That would be nice!
>> Something bright and
colourful?
(Clearing throat)
>> Oh, hi, Ari!
>> When did you get here?
>> I...
Never mind.
Hi, Elinor!
Hi, Olive!
Notice anything extra cool about
me today?
>> OLIVE/ELINOR: Hmm...
>> Is that a new shirt?
>> It's a nice colour.
(Sighing)
>> No, you guys!
Look, on my hat!
>> Whoa...
Is that a feather?
>> Cool!
It's so bright and colourful.
Where did you get it?
>> Well, let me tell you!
I was walking in the forest,
when suddenly, I heard something
moving up in the trees!
And then, this feather came
floating down, and it landed
right on my head!
>> Wow, how lucky!
A bird feather!
>> It is lucky!
I call it my lucky feather!
>> Can I see it?
(Giggling)
>> My turn!
(Giggling)
(Blowing gently)
(Giggling)
>> It's really pretty.
>> Wow, it looks like it has
little hairs when I brush it
with my finger!
That is so interesting!
>> I didn't notice that.
>> And the colours are so
beautiful!
>> It would be cool if we had
feathers.
>> I wonder, why do birds have
feathers?
Hmm.
>> Good question, Elinor.
Hmm.
I know, maybe birds use their
feathers to tickle each other?
(Laughing)
>> Wait, my parents have pillows
with feathers in them.
Maybe birds have feathers to
sleep on them?
>> ALL: Hmm.
>> It's a mystery.
Why do birds have feathers?
>> I have an idea!
Let's go look for some birds and
see if we can figure it out!
>> Yes!
I'll get my notepad!
>> We need more observations!
(Giggling)
(Humming)
>> There sure are lots of birds
around here!
>> Let's watch and observe them!

(Bird chirping)
(Gasping)
(Bird chirping)
>> Hey, little birdie!
We're trying to figure out what
your feathers are for.
Can you tell me?
Hold up, hold up!
>> Hmmm.
(Bird chirping)
You have wings just like I do.
But yours are made out of
feathers.
I think I figured it out!
Birds have feathers to help them
fly!
I can't wait to tell Olive and
Elinor!
(Bird squawking)
(Gasping)
>> You two birds are really
colourful!
I wonder if you like being blue.
It's my favourite colour.
Oops!
(Giggling)
Uhhh...
There we go.
That looks better.
Hey!
You wear blue on your head too!
>> Hmm.
I think I figured it out!
Feathers are for being
colourful, just like my bow!
I can't wait to tell Ari and
Elinor.
(Humming)
(Quacking)
>> Ooh...
(Quacking)
(Laughing)
(Quacking)
Ooh, pretty ducks!
It's a whole duck family!
(Quacking)
Hello, duck family!
Can you tell me why birds have
feathers?
(Quacking)
(Giggling)
That water must be cold!
But you all look so nice and
warm with those soft and cozy
feathers.
Hmm...
I think I figured it out!
Birds use feathers to stay warm!
I can't wait to tell Ari and
Olive!
(Laughing)
>> ALL: Hey guys!
I figured it out!
(Cross-talking)
(Giggling)
>> Wait, guys, one at a time!
>> Okay, I'll go first.
I think birds need feathers to
help them fly!
Their wings are made of
feathers!
>> Yeah.
>> That makes sense.
But wait...
I have a different idea.
I saw birds that had bright blue
feathers.
I think birds use feathers so
they can be colourful.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Maybe...
(Chuckling)
>> But I have a different idea,
too!
I saw a duck family coming out
of the water, and their feathers
were like a snuggly coat.
I think birds use feathers to
stay warm.
>> Okay.
>> That also makes sense.
>> But definitely flying is the
most important.
That must be why birds have
feathers.
>> But if birds didn't have
colourful feathers they would
all look the same!
I think birds have feathers to
have colour.
>> I don't know.
If they didn't have feathers,
they would get so cold!
So I think feathers are to stay
warm.
>> We have three good ideas!
>> Which one is the real reason
why birds have feathers?
>> Hmm...
How can we figure it out?
>> Hmm...
Do you little scientists mind
if I ask you a few questions?
>> Sure, Ms. Mole!
>> Ari, that's a nice hat.
Why did you pick that one today?
>> Um, thanks!
It's my favourite and it keeps
me warm!
>> So you chose your hat to keep
you warm?
>> Yeah.
Also, it has a secret pocket
for snacks!
Mmm-mm!
>> Olive, what about you?
Why did you choose that shirt
and that skirt?
>> Well, blue is my favourite
colour, of course!
>> Ah!
So you chose your clothes
because of the colour?
>> Mmm-hmm, I love blue!
>> And what about you, Elinor?
Why did you choose that jacket?
>> It looked like it might rain
this morning, so I picked this
raincoat.
>> Ah, yes, of course!
So you chose it to stay dry?
>> That's right, Ms. Mole.
>> Good.
Now tell me, what's the reason
we wear any clothes at all?
>> To stay dry!
>> To stay warm!
>> To show colours!
>> So, which is it?
Is there just one reason?
>> They're all good reasons!
>> That's right!
Sometimes there's more than one
reason for something!
Your clothes help you in many
ways, just like feathers help
birds in many ways.
>> I get it!
>> There's more than one reason
why birds have feathers!
>> Yeah, birds have feathers to
fly and to stay warm, and to be
colourful!
>> We all figured it out!
>> All right, all right,
all right!
>> Whoo-hoo!
>> Awesome!
>> Yay!
>> Whoo-hoo!
(Giggling)
>> Wait, I thought of one more
thing feathers are good for.
There we go!
They're also good for finishing
sand castles!
