Elinor, a white rabbit with long straight dark brown hair, wears a red and purple dress. She runs on a dirt path and stops to look at a monarch butterfly perched on a grey rock.

[Happy music plays]

Elinor sings, WHEREVER I GO
I SEE THINGS THAT I WANT
TO KNOW,

WHEREVER I AM I FIND THINGS
I WANT TO UNDERSTAND.

GO AND EXPLORE, LISTEN AND SEE
JUST FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY.

Elinor smiles as she sings on a swing on a swing set. Olive Elephant swings on a swing beside her. Olive wears a blue bow on her head, with a blue shirt, skirts and leggings. Ari Bat hands upside down from the bar on the top of the swing set.

Voices sing, ELINOR WONDERS WHY.

Elinor sings, WHY DO BIRDS SING?
AND HOW DO THEY FLY?

Voices sing, ELINOR WONDERS WHY.

Elinor watches ants through a magnifying glass.

Elinor sings WHY DO ANTS MARCH?
AND WHERE DO THEY HIDE?

THERE'S SO MUCH TO LEARN
WHEREVER YOU TURN
JUST LISTEN AND SEE
AND FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY.

[Chiming]

Voices sing, ELINOR WONDERS WHY.

Elinor sings, ASK A QUESTION
WHAT WILL YOU FIND?

Voices sing, ELINOR WONDERS WHY.

Elinor sings, JUST LISTEN AND SEE
COME AND WONDER WITH ME.

Text above Elinor reads, “Elinor Wonders Why.” A magnifying glass with pink bunny ears replaces the letter ‘O’ in Elinor’s name.

Blue text reads, “These Sneezes.”

Elinor says, “THESE…”

[Achoo]

Elinor says, “SNEEZES.”

Elinor and Olive pull a red wagon with red flowers in it. Elinor wears her red and purple dress. Olive Elephant wears her blue bow on her head, with the blue shirt, skirts and leggings. Ari Bat wears a green t-shirt with yellow shorts as he leaps and flies.

[Upbeat music plays]

Ari says, WHEE! WOO-HOO! YES.

Olive asks, ARI, WHY ARE YOU
JUMPING AROUND SO MUCH?

Ari replies, IT'S SUCH A NICE DAY.
I JUST WANT TO RUN AND PLAY.

WHOOP. WHOOSH!

[Flapping, footstep crunch in dirt]

Olive says, WELL, I LOVED HELPING
RANGER RABBIT PLANT FLOWERS
IN THE PARK TODAY.

Elinor says, YEAH. ME, TOO.

AND NOW WE HAVE THESE EXTRA
FLOWERS THAT WE CAN PLANT
AROUND OUR EXPLORING CLUBHOUSE.

[Flapping]

Ari says, YEAH.

THAT WAS SUPER FUN. BUT WE
DON'T HAVE TO GO PLANT THEM
RIGHT NOW, DO WE?

[Footstep crunch in dirt]

Elinor says, I GUESS NOT. WHY?

Ari says, BECAUSE THEN, WE COULD
PLAY A GAME OF TAG, RIGHT NOW.

Olive says, THAT WOULD BE FUN.

Elinor says, LET'S DO IT.
WHO'S IT?

[Upbeat music plays]

Ari says, I AM. HA-HA.

[Giggling]

Ari counts, ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT,
NINE, TEN.

Ari chases Elinor and Olive.

[Everyone giggles, energetic music plays]

Elinor says, OH, THERE HE IS.

Ari says, AHA.

Olive says, OH.

[Giggling, rustling]

Ari tumbles and says, AH! AW.

[Rustling]

Ari says, GOT YOU.

[Olive shouts]

Olive stumbles backwards and falls on the wagon. A pot with a flower lands on her lap.

Olive says, WHOA.

[Clattering]

Ari asks, ARE YOU OKAY, OLIVE?

[Giggling]

Olive says, YEAH.

Ari says, WELL, IN THAT CASE,
TAG. YOU'RE IT.

Olive says, AH.

[Giggling, sniffing, Olive sneezes and trumpets]

The wagon rolls backwards each time Olive sneezes.

Ari says, TRY TO CATCH ME--OLIVE?

[Olive sneezes and trumpets]

Ari says, UH-OH.

Elinor says, WHOA. OLIVE.
STOP THAT WAGON!

The wagon rolls down a dirt path.

[Footsteps, slurping, energetic music plays]

[Sneeze, Slide whistle]

An ice cream cone falls on a second cone.

[Gasp, licking]

Ari shouts, LOOK OUT! SNEEZING
ELEPHANT COMING THROUGH.

The wagon rolls towards Lizzie and Mary as they walk on the path.
[Squeaking wheels, small gasp]

Olive says, SORRY.

Elinor says, HI, LIZZIE.
HI, MARY.

[Panting]

[Sniffing]

[Olive, sniffs, sneezes and trumpets]

Leaves fall on Mrs. Hippo as Olive rolls past.

[Rustling]

Ari says, SORRY ABOUT THAT,
MRS. HIPPO.

[Panting]

Olive rolls towards a pond.

[Dramatic music plays]

Olive says, OH, NO

Ari says, WHOA.

Elinor shouts, OLIVE!

[Grunting]

Ari and Elinor grab the handle of the wagon and lean backwards as they stop it.

[Frogs croak, splashing, grunting]

Elinor, Ari and Olive say, PHEW.

Ari says, YOU ALMOST WENT IN
THE POND.

Elinor asks, ARE YOU OKAY, OLIVE?

Olive says, YEAH.
THAT WAS QUITE A RIDE.

[Olive sniffs, sneezes and trumpets]

Olive says, AH.

Ari says, THOSE WERE SOME
HUGE SNEEZES.

Olive says, UH-HUH. I'VE ALWAYS
HAD A STRONG TRUNK.

Olive puts the flower pot back in the wagon.

[Clink, sniffing]

Olive says, OH. IT STOPPED.

I DON'T FEEL LIKE
SNEEZING ANYMORE.

Elinor says, HMM. I WONDER WHAT
MADE YOU SNEEZE SO MUCH, OLIVE.

Olive says, I DON'T KNOW.

ALL OF A SUDDEN MY NOSE GOT
TICKLY, AND I STARTED SNEEZING
A LOT.

Ari says, HMM.

DID A BUG LAND ON YOUR NOSE?
THAT MAYBE MADE YOU SNEEZE.

Olive says, NO, A BUG DIDN'T LAND
ON MY NOSE.

[Rustling]

Elinor says, WELL, SOMETHING
MADE YOU SNEEZE. AND MY NOSE
GETS TICKLY, TOO, BEFORE I SNEEZE.

I WONDER WHY THAT HAPPENS.
WHAT MAKES US SNEEZE?

Olive asks, HOW ARE WE GOING
TO FIND OUT?

[Gentle music plays]

Elinor says, HMM. I KNOW.

LET'S LEARN EVERYTHING WE
CAN ABOUT SNEEZING.

IS THERE ANYTHING IN YOUR
NATURE BOOK ABOUT IT?

Olive looks in a book.

[Pages rustle and turn]

Olive says, HMM. LET'S SEE.
SNAILS, SNAKES, SNOW.

NOPE. NOTHING ABOUT SNEEZING
IN IT.

[Birds chirp]

Elinor says, HMM. WHERE ELSE CAN
WE FIND OUT ABOUT SNEEZING?

Ari asks, HOW ABOUT THE LIBRARY?

Elinor says, YES, THE LIBRARY.
GOOD IDEA, ARI. LET'S GO.

Ari and Olive run behind Elinor as she pulls the wagon to the front steps of a building.

[Energetic music plays, flapping, door shuts]

Mr. Antelope stands behind a counter as he stamps a library book.

[Stamp]

Elinor says, HI, MR. ANTELOPE.

Mr. Antelope says, WELL, HELLO,
ELINOR, OLIVE AND--

Ari says, ARI.

[Cheerful music plays]

Mr. Antelope says, WAIT.
DON'T TELL ME.
I CAN REMEMBER.

[Giggling]

Ari says, IT'S ARI.

Mr. Antelope says, IS IT...HMM.
OH, YEAH. OOH. ARI?

[Giggling]

Mr. Antelope says, I'M JUST JOKING,
ARNOLD. OF COURSE I REMEMBER YOU.

Ari insists, BUT IT'S ARI.

Mr. Antelope says, RIGHT, ARI.

Elinor says, MR. ANTELOPE, WE'RE
CURIOUS TO LEARN EVERYTHING
WE CAN ABOUT SNEEZING.

Mr. Antelope says, AH. IS IT SO YOU
CAN SNEEZE MORE?

[Laughing]

Elinor says, NO. IT'S SO WE CAN
SNEEZE LESS.

TODAY OLIVE STARTED SNEEZING
A LOT, AND IT NEARLY MADE OUR
WAGON ROLL INTO THE POND.

Olive asks, DO YOU HAVE ANY
BOOKS ABOUT SNEEZING,
MR. ANTELOPE?


Elinor says, IF WE CAN LEARN WHAT
MAKES ANIMALS SNEEZE, THEN WE
CAN FIND OUT WHAT MADE
OLIVE SNEEZE.

Mr. Antelope says, I SEE.

WELL, SNEEZING IS A FASCINATING
SUBJECT. I CAN DEFINITELY HELP
YOU AH-AH-CHOOSE THE
RIGHT BOOK.

[Chuckles]

Mr. Antelope says, GET IT?
AH-CHOOSE?

[Giggling, rustling]

Mr. Antelope says, LET'S SEE.

HMM. OH, GOOD.

THE BOOK I'M THINKING OF HASN'T
BEEN CHECKED OUT FOR QUITE A
WHILE, IN FACT.

THAT MEANS IT'S ON THE SHELF.
WALK THIS WAY, PLEASE.

[Upbeat music plays]

Mr. Antelope says, HERE WE GO.

BOOKS ABOUT PARTS OF THE BODY.
THE ONE YOU WANT IS CALLED
‘ALL ABOUT NOSES’. IT SHOULD TELL
YOU ABOUT SNEEZING.

Elinor says, THANKS, MR. ANTELOPE.

Mr. Antelope says, YOU'RE WELCOME.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL
BE AT MY DESK.

Elinor says, HERE IT IS:
‘ALL ABOUT NOSES’.

HMM. IT REALLY HASN'T BEEN
CHECKED OUT IN A WHILE.
IT'S SO DUSTY.

Ari says, I'LL FIX THAT.

Ari blows dust into Elinor’s face.

[Inhale, exhale, sneeze, sneeze and trumpeting, sneezing]

Ari says, AH.

Elinor says, OOPS.

Ari wiggles his nose.

[Squeaking]

Ari says, WHEW.
STILL THERE.

I SNEEZED SO HARD I THOUGHT
MY NOSE BLEW OFF.

Elinor says, WE ALL SNEEZED THIS
TIME. THAT IS SO INTERESTING.

Olive says, WELL, IT STARTED WHEN
SOME BAT WE KNOW BLEW SOME
DUST AT ELINOR.

Ari says, SORRY. DIDN'T MEAN TO
BLOW SO HARD.

Elinor says, THAT MADE ME SNEEZE
AND BLOW DUST ON YOU, OLIVE.

AND THAT'S WHEN YOU SNEEZED AND
BLEW DUST ON ME, AND THEN I
SNEEZED, WHICH BLEW SOME DUST
ON ARI.

Ari says, AND THEN I SNEEZED AND
ALMOST LOST MY NOSE, BUT DIDN'T.

Elinor says, HMM. THAT'S IT!

IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE DUST
THAT MADE US SNEEZE.

[Scraping, upbeat music plays]]

Olive says, BUT I'M TOUCHING
IT NOW, AND IT'S NOT MAKING
ME SNEEZE.

Ari says, ME, NEITHER. MAYBE IT
SMELLS FUNNY.

[Sniffing, sneezing, giggling, flapping]

Elinor says, ARI, YOU FIGURED IT OUT.
YOU SNEEZE WHEN DUST GETS IN
YOUR NOSE.

Olive says, YOU'RE RIGHT.

Ari says, I ALWAYS KNEW I HAD
A NOSE FOR FIGURING THINGS OUT.

[Giggling]

Olive says, LET'S GO TELL
MR. ANTELOPE WHAT WE LEARNED.

Elinor says, HI.

Mr. Antelope says, THE SNEEZE SQUAD
RETURNS. DID YOU FIND THE ANSWER
YOU WERE LOOKING FOR?

Elinor says, YEP. WE FIGURED OUT
WHY WE SNEEZE, MR. ANTELOPE.
WE SNEEZE WHEN DUST GETS IN
OUR NOSES.

Mr. Antelope says, THAT'S GOOD
THINKING, ELINOR. HERE. LET ME
SHOW YOU.

[Rustling]

Mr. Antelope says, THIS IS A DRAWING
OF A DOG'S NOSE AND WHAT THE
INSIDE LOOKS LIKE.

Elinor and Olive say, WOW.

Ari exclaims, COOL.

[Gentle music plays]

Mr. Antelope says, LOTS OF ANIMALS,
LIKE RABBITS, BATS, AND ELEPHANTS,
HAVE NOSES LIKE THIS, AND THEY
ALL WORK IN PRETTY MUCH THE
SAME WAY.

WHEN LITTLE THINGS LIKE DUST GET
IN YOUR NOSE, THEY MAKE IT FEEL
ALL TICKLY INSIDE.

[Inhale]

Mr. Antelope says, THAT'S YOUR
BODY'S WAY OF SAYING, "I DON'T
LIKE THIS DUST IN HERE."

SO, TO GET IT OUT, YOUR BODY
BLOWS IT OUT WITH A BIG GUSH
OF AIR.

[Sneeze]

Mr. Antelope says, THAT'S WHAT
A SNEEZE IS.

Olive says, OH. IT'S SOMETHING
THE BODY DOES ALL BY ITSELF.

Mr. Antelope says, THAT'S RIGHT.
TO KEEP US SAFE AND HEALTHY
WITH CLEAN NOSES.

Ari says, WHOA. SNEEZING IS
PRETTY COOL.

Elinor says, BUT WAIT. DUST MADE
US SNEEZE HERE IN THE LIBRARY,
BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THERE
BEING DUST IN THE PARK WHEN
OLIVE SNEEZED IN THE WAGON.

Elinor remembers Olive sitting in the wagon with a flowerpot in her lap.

[Popping, sneezing, trumpeting]

Mr. Antelope says, WELL, DUST ISN'T
THE ONLY THING THAT CAN TICKLE
YOUR NOSE AND MAKE YOU SNEEZE.
OTHER THINGS CAN AS WELL.

Olive says, THAT MAKES SENSE. HMM.

[Pages flip]

Olive says, IT SAYS HERE THAT DUST,
GETTING A COLD AND POLLEN CAN
ALL MAKE YOU SNEEZE.

Ari asks, UH, WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT'S POLLEN?

Elinor says, POLLEN IS THE LITTLE
POWDERY STUFF THAT'S IN FLOWERS.

WAIT A MINUTE. FLOWERS!
COME ON.

[Upbeat music plays, rustling]

Elinor says, THERE WASN'T ANY DUST
ON THE WAGON, BUT THERE WERE
FLOWERS, AND FLOWERS HAVE POLLEN.

YOU WERE HOLDING THIS FLOWER.

[Sniffing, sneezing, trumpeting]

Olive says, IT WAS THE FLOWER
THAT MADE ME SNEEZE.

Ari says, I CAN SEE THE POLLEN ON
YOUR NOSE.

[Rustling]

Elinor says, WE DID IT. WE FIGURED
OUT WHAT MADE OLIVE SNEEZE.

Olive says, AND WE LEARNED WHY.
WHEN LITTLE THINGS LIKE DUST
AND POLLEN GET IN YOUR NOSE,
YOUR BODY TRIES TO BLOW
THEM OUT.

Ari says, AND THAT'S A SNEEZE.

[Upbeat music plays]

Elinor sings, YOUR NOSE IS FOR
SMELLING AND ALSO FOR BREATHING,

[Sniffing]

Elinor sings, WHEN SOMETHING
GETS IN YOUR NOSE,

Ari sings, LIKE DUST,

Olive sings, OR POLLEN,

Elinor sings, THAT GETS
YOU SNEEZING.

Elinor, Olive and Ari sing, ACHOO,
ACHOO, HOO-HOO BLOW IT OUT,
HOORAY, WOO-HOO.

WHEN SOMETHING GETS IN
YOUR NOSE,

YOU HAVE TO GET IT OUT
YOUR BODY GOES, "ACHOO".

THAT'S WHAT SNEEZING'S
ALL ABOUT.

ACHOO, ACHOO, HOO-HOO
BLOW IT OUT, HOORAY,
WOO-HOO.

[Sneezing, trumpeting, giggling]

Mr. Antelope says, AH. WELL,
DONE, LITTLE SCIENTISTS.

Elinor says, THANKS, FOR HELPING
SOLVE OUR SNEEZE MYSTERY,
MR. ANTELOPE.

Mr. Antelope says, YOU GOT IT.
AND THANK YOU FOR AH-AH-CHOOSING
YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY.

[Laughing, sniffing]

Elinor says, OKAY. IT'S TIME TO
TAKE THESE FLOWERS TO OUR
EXPLORING CLUBHOUSE.

[Sniffing, stifling a sneeze]

Olive says, I'LL JUST STAY A
LITTLE BIT BEHIND THESE FLOWERS.

[Laughing]

Señor Tapir holds his guitar as Elinor and three other children sit by his feet.

[Birds sing]

Señor Tapir says, TODAY, LET'S SING
A SO-ON-- A SON--

[Sneezing]

Elinor says, SALUD!

Señor Tapir HA-HA. OOPS.

LET'S SING ABOUT A SCIENTIST
WHO WONDERED ABOUT SNEEZES.

[Energetic guitar music plays]

Señor Tapir sings,
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED
JUST WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU SNEEZE.

WHEN YOUR SNEEZE FLIES
FROM YOUR MOUTH
INTO THE BREEZE.

WELL, LYDIA BOUROUIBA
IS A SCIENTIST WHO SAID
"I WONDER JUST HOW FAR
A SNEEZE WILL SPREAD."

OH, WHERE, OH, WHERE
DO YOUR SNEEZY SNEEZES GO?

LYDIA BOUROUIBA
WANTED TO KNOW
DO THEY GO UP?
DO THEY GO DOWN?

DO THEY SPRAY
AND SWIRL ALL AROUND?

[Slide whistle, spraying]

Señor Tapir sings,
SHE TICKLED LOTS OF NOSES
SO THEY SNEEZED RIGHT AWAY.

[Trumpeting, camera clicking]

Señor Tapir sings,
SHE TOOK SPECIAL PICTURES
OF EVERY SPRAY.

SHE WATCHED EACH SNEEZE
IN SUPER-SLOW MOTION

SO SHE COULD HAVE PICTURES
OF FUNNY SNEEZE EXPLOSIONS.

[Sneezing, trumpeting]

Señor Tapir sings, LYDIA BOUROUIBA
WANTED TO KNOW.

SHE FOUND THEY WENT UP,
SHE FOUND THEY WENT DOWN.

AND SPRAY REALLY FAR
AND SWIRL ALL AROUND.

WHENEVER YOU SNEEZE
THINK OF THE SCIENTIST,
WHO WONDERED WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN YOU SAY, "ACHOO."
WHEN YOU SAY, "ACHOO."

[Nose blows, applause]

Elinor cheers, YAY!

Blue text reads, “Ari’s Lucky Shirt.”

[Birds chirp]

Elinor says, “ARI’S LUCKY SHIRT.”

[Upbeat music plays]

Ari says, IT'S GOT TO BE AROUND
HERE SOMEWHERE.

NO. THAT'S NOT IT.

Elinor and Olive watch a shirt, hat, and toy fall on a floor. A blue shirt falls on Elinor’s head, covering her face.

[Whooshing, squeak]

Elinor says, HEY, ARI.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
IT'S ALMOST TIME TO GO PLAY
SOCCER.

Olive says, YEAH. WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO PRACTISE BEFORE THE BIG GAME.

[Whooshing]

Ari says, I KNOW, BUT I CAN'T
GO
UNTIL I FIND MY LUCKY SHIRT.

HA! FOUND IT.

Ari holds a red shirt.

[Whooshing]

Olive says, THAT IS A NICE SHIRT,
BUT WHAT'S SO LUCKY ABOUT IT?

Ari asks, WHAT'S SO LUCKY ABOUT IT?

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I GOT
THAT BIG HIT IN THE BASEBALL
GAME LAST YEAR?

OR THE TIME THAT COOL BUG
LANDED ON MY SHOULDER?

OR THAT DAY THAT MS. MOLE
BROUGHT IN A YUMMY CAKE AND IT
WASN'T EVEN ANYONE'S BIRTHDAY?

Olive says, YEAH. GOOD TIMES.

Ari says, WELL, ON EVERY ONE OF
THOSE DAYS, I WAS WEARING THIS
SHIRT. THAT'S WHY I CALL IT MY
LUCKY SHIRT.

EVERY TIME I WEAR IT, SOMETHING
GREAT HAPPENS.

Olive says, YEAH.
THAT WAS A DELICIOUS BANANA
CAKE, AND YOU ALL KNOW HOW
MUCH I LOVE BANANAS.

[Grunting, pop]

Elinor says, I DON'T KNOW, ARI.
IT LOOKS A LITTLE SMALL.

Ari says, WHAT? NAH.

[Grunting]

Ari says, I CAN'T MOVE MY
ARMS VERY MUCH, BUT IT'S FINE.

I JUST HAVEN'T WORN IT IN A
WHILE. I'M SURE IT WILL STRETCH
OUT. NOW, LET'S PLAY SOCCER.

[Grunting, Olive clears her throat]

Olive opens a door for Ari.

[Creak]

Olive says, HERE YOU GO.

Elinor picks up a green shirt.

[Rustling]

Elinor says, HMM. I'LL ALSO BRING
A BIGGER SHIRT. YOU KNOW, JUST
IN CASE.

Ari says, OKAY, BUT WE WON'T NEED
IT. WE HAVE MY LUCKY SHIRT ON
OUR SIDE. WHOA.

[Boing]

Ari says, WHOA, WHOA.

Olive, Elinor, and Ari arrive at a soccer field.

Ari asks, WHO'S READY TO BE
A SUPER SOCCER GOALIE?

Olive notices Ranger Rabbit standing beside a goal net.

Olive asks, RANGER RABBIT?

Ari says, NO. I MEANT ME.

NOW THAT I HAVE MY LUCKY SHIRT,
I'M GOING TO STOP EVERY BALL.
THE ONES TO THE LEFT... HA.

...AND THE ONES TO THE RI--OOPS.

Ranger Rabbit says, CAREFUL THERE,
ARI. HI, KIDS.

Elinor says, HI, MOM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

Ranger Rabbit says, WELL, THERE
WAS AN ANIMAL ON THE SOCCER
FIELD THAT SHOULDN'T BE THERE,
SO I CAME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE
FOREST WHERE IT BELONGS.

Olive says, OOH. WHAT IS IT?

[Rustling]

Ranger Rabbit says, IT'S A CUTE
LITTLE BABY GARTER SNAKE.

[Hiss, Ari screams]

Ari says, SNAKE?

[Grunting]

Ari says, LITTLE HELP, PLEASE?

[Rustling]

Ranger Rabbit says, NOW, REMEMBER,
KIDS, IF YOU SEE A SNAKE, YOU
SHOULDN'T GET NEAR IT UNLESS
YOU'RE WITH A GROWN-UP
LIKE ME.

Elinor asks, ARE SNAKES
DANGEROUS, MOM?

Ranger Rabbit says, SOME ARE.
THIS ONE ISN'T POISONOUS,
BUT IT CAN STILL BITE, SO WE
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.

AND IT'S A LIVING CREATURE,
SO WE SHOULD TREAT IT WITH
GENTLENESS AND RESPECT.

[Insects chirp, hissing]

Olive says, LOOK AT ITS TONGUE
FLICKING. WHY DOES IT DO THAT?

Ranger Rabbit says, TO SMELL
THINGS. SNAKES SMELL WITH
THEIR TONGUES.

Elinor says, COME LOOK, ARI.

Ari says, UH, THAT'S OKAY. I CAN
SEE IT JUST FINE FROM BACK
HERE, THANKS.

[Giggling]

Elinor says, IT'S SO PRETTY. LOOK AT
THE ZIGZAG PATTERN ON ITS SKIN.

Olive says, YEAH, BUT ITS SKIN
LOOKS KIND OF FLAKY. IT'S NOT
SHINY LIKE SNAKESKIN USUALLY IS.

Ranger Rabbit says, THAT'S A GOOD
OBSERVATION, OLIVE. HOW DO YOU
KNOW THAT?

Olive says, OH, I LOVE LOOKING AT
PICTURES OF SNAKES IN MY NATURE
BOOK. THEY ARE SO COOL.

Elinor asks, IS THE SNAKE OKAY?

Ranger Rabbit says, IT'S FINE, ELINOR.

WHAT OLIVE OBSERVED IS JUST A
NORMAL PART OF GROWING UP
FOR A LITTLE SNAKE LIKE THIS.

[Whistle blows, upbeat music plays]

Ms. Mole says, OKAY, KIDS.

IT'S TIME FOR OUR PRACTICE
BEFORE THE BIG GAME
THIS AFTERNOON.

Elinor asks, WHERE ARE YOU GOING
TO TAKE THE SNAKE, MOM?

[Birds chirp]

Ranger Rabbit says, WELL, SNAKES
SHOULD BE DEEP IN THE FOREST
AWAY FROM WHERE KIDS PLAY,
AND WHERE THERE IS PLENTY
OF FOOD AND SHELTER FOR THEM.

SO, I'LL DROP IT OFF IN THE
FOREST NEAR THE RANGER STATION.

[Gasp]

Olive asks, CAN WE GO WATCH,
RANGER RABBIT?

Elinor says, YEAH.

CAN WE, MOM?

Ranger Rabbit says, OF COURSE.
HOW ABOUT YOU GO TO YOUR
PRACTICE, THEN YOU CAN HELP
ME PUT THE SNAKE BACK INTO
THE FOREST WHEN YOU HAVE
A BREAK?

Olive says, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

Elinor cheers, WOO-HOO!

[Upbeat music plays]

Ranger Rabbit says, GREAT.
I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU AT
THE RANGER STATION.

Elinor says, THANKS, MOM.
YOU'RE THE BEST.

Ranger Rabbit says, JUST DOING
MY DUTY AS A PARK RANGER.
HAVE FUN, HONEY.

Elinor says, BYE, LITTLE SNAKIE.

Olive says, SEE YOU SOON.

Ari says, BYE.

Ari stands in front of a goal net.

Ari says, ALL RIGHT. GOALIE ARI
IS READY. GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT.

[Grunting]

Ari says, WHOA. AH. NOPE. UH, WHOA.

Balls bounce past Ari into the net.

[Whooshing]

Olive says, ARI, YOUR SHIRT IS
TOO TIGHT FOR YOU TO MOVE.
WHY DON'T YOU CHANGE IT?

Ari asks, AND LOSE MY LUCKY SHIRT?
HOW ARE WE GOING TO WIN THE
BIG GAME?

Elinor peers at a pile of soccer balls in the net behind Ari.

Elinor says, BUT YOU HAVEN'T
STOPPED ANY SHOTS YET.

Ari says, THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T NEED LUCK TO PRACTISE.

ONCE THE GAME STARTS, THE
LUCKY SHIRT IS GOING TO WORK,
AND GUESS WHO'LL BE STOPPING
ALL THE SHOTS?

Olive asks, THE TREE?

Ari says, NO!
THIS BAT RIGHT HERE.

[Giggling, thumping]

Elinor says, I SURE HOPE SO,
BECAUSE MARY AND LIZZIE ARE
REALLY GOOD AT SOCCER.

[Whistle blows]

Ms. Mole says, OKAY, KIDS. LET'S
TAKE A BREAK AND MEET BACK
HERE LATER.

Olvie says, OOH. CAN WE GO TO
THE RANGER STATION AND SEE
THE SNAKE NOW?

Elinor says, YEAH. LET'S GO SEE
MY MOM. WE'LL BE BACK FOR THE
BIG GAME. SEE YOU.

Ari says, WAIT FOR ME. AAH!

[Door opens]

Ranger Rabbit sits on a chair behind a table at the ranger station as Elinor, Olive, and Ari enter.

Elinor says, HI, MOM.

Ranger Rabbit says, HEY THERE,
KIDS. ARE YOU READY TO HELP
ME TAKE THE SNAKE TO
THE FOREST?

Olive says, WE SURE ARE.

Ranger Rabbit says, GREAT. THE
SNAKE IS RIGHT BACK THERE IN
THE BOX. I'LL BE RIGHT OVER AS
SOON AS I'M DONE WITH THIS
RECYCLING REPORT.

Elinor says, OKAY, MOM.

Olive looks in the box.

Olive says, THERE'S THE SNAKE
RIGHT IN THE CORNER.

Elinor says, WAIT. I THOUGHT
THIS WAS THE SNAKE.

Olive says, HUH? ARE THERE TWO
SNAKES NOW?

Ari asks, TWO SNAKES?
THAT'S TOO MANY SNAKES.

[Nervous laugh]

Elinor says, THERE'S ONE SNAKE.

AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE, BUT
THIS ONE DOESN'T QUITE LOOK
LIKE A SNAKE.

Olive agrees, YEAH. IT LOOKS
REALLY DIFFERENT.

Elinor says, HMM.

WE NEED MORE OBSERVATIONS.

Olive gives Elinor a magnifying glass.

[Gentle music plays]

Elinor says, THANKS, OLIVE.

THIS SNAKE LOOKS LIKE IT'S
MADE OUT OF PAPER.

Olive says, YEAH. IT'S REALLY
THIN AND THERE'S
NOTHING INSIDE.

Elinor says, THIS ONE LOOKS
LIKE A REAL SNAKE.

BUT REMEMBER ITS SKIN
LOOKED OLD AND FLAKY BEFORE?
NOW, IT LOOKS SHINY.

ARI, LOOK.

[Ari inhales and exhales, upbeat music plays]

Ari says, UGH.

Elinor says, HERE. I'LL HELP YOU.

Elinor holds the magnifying glass close to the snake.

[Rustling]

Ari says, WHOA. YOU'RE RIGHT.
I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED
TO ITS OLD SKIN.

WAIT A MINUTE. MAYBE THIS
PAPER-LOOKING THING IS ITS
OLD SKIN. IT MUST HAVE
FALLEN OFF.

Olive says, THE SKIN FELL OFF?
HOW CAN THAT BE?

WOULDN'T IT HURT THE SNAKE?

Elinor says, THE SNAKE SEEMS
OKAY WITH THIS NEW SKIN, BUT
WHY WOULD ITS OLD SKIN
FALL OFF?

Olive says, HMM. MAYBE BECAUSE
IT WAS TOO TIGHT?

Ari says, HUH.

Ranger Rabbit says, YOU KIDS
ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

Olvie asks, WE ARE?

[Upbeat music plays]

Ranger Rabbit says, YES, OLIVE.
WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS THE
SNAKE'S OLD SKIN, AND IT DID
FALL OFF BECAUSE IT WAS
TOO SMALL.

THE SNAKE GREW AND ITS OLD SKIN
DIDN'T FIT ANYMORE, SO IT GREW
A NEW, BIGGER, SKIN THAT WOULD
FIT ITS BIGGER BODY JUST RIGHT.

Olive and Elinor says, WOW.

Elinor says, SO, ITS SKIN JUST
COMES OFF IN ONE BIG PIECE?

Ranger Rabbit says, THAT'S RIGHT,
ELINOR. THIS IS CALLED MOULTING.

[Ari gasps]

Ari says, MY MOM SAYS I'M GROWING
REALLY FAST.

AM I GOING TO MOULT, TOO?

[Ranger Rabbit chuckles]

Ranger Rabbit says, NO, ARI. YOU
HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

IN MANY ANIMALS, LIKE BATS AND
RABBITS AND ELEPHANTS, THEIR
SKIN GROWS AS THE ANIMAL GROWS.

BUT IN OTHER ANIMALS, LIKE SNAKES,
THEIR SKIN DOESN'T GROW WITH THEM.

INSTEAD THEY GROW A NEW SKIN
UNDERNEATH, AND THEIR OLD SKIN
FALLS OFF.

Olive asks, DOES IT HURT THE SNAKE
WHEN THEY MOULT?

Ranger Rabbit says, NO.

THEY ACTUALLY FEEL MUCH BETTER,
BECAUSE THEIR OLD SKIN WAS
GETTING TIGHT AND UNCOMFORTABLE.

Ari asks, BUT WHAT IF THE SNAKE
LIKED ITS OLD SKIN?

WHAT IF IT WAS, LIKE, ITS LUCKY
SKIN AND IT DID ALL OF THESE
COOL THINGS IN IT?

Ranger Rabbit says, ARI, GROWING
UP IS A GOOD THING, AND SOMETIMES
THAT MEANS WE OUTGROW THE THINGS
THAT USED TO FIT US.

[Upbeat music plays]

Ari says, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

MAYBE IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
TO MY LUCKY SHIRT. IT DOESN'T
REALLY FIT ME ANYMORE. DO YOU
STILL HAVE THAT OTHER SHIRT?

Elinor says, NOW, YOU'LL BE NICE
AND COMFY, ARI. LIKE A SNAKE
WITH NEW SKIN.

The shirt hits Ari’s face.

[Slide whistle, thump]

[Shout, giggle]

[Upbeat music plays]

Olive, Elinor, and Ari sing,
ALL LIVING BEINGS
GROW AND GROW,

FROM YOUR HEAD
DOWN TO YOUR TOE.

SOME TAKE YEARS
AND SOME ONE DAY,

BECAUSE WE ALL GROW
IN OUR OWN WAY.

Elinor sings, WHEN YOU'RE A SNAKE
AND IT'S TIME TO GROW,

Olive sings, THERE'S ONE THING
THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

Ari sings, YOUR SKIN WILL START
TO FEEL REAL TIGH,

Elinor sings, BUT DON'T YOU WORRY
YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

Olive, Elinor, and Ari sing,
BECAUSE YOUR OLD SKIN
WILL MOULT AND SHED,

AND YOU'LL FEEL GOOD
FROM YOUR TAIL TO YOUR HEAD.

ALL LIVING BEINGS
GROW AND GROW,

FROM YOUR HEAD
DOWN TO YOUR TOE.

SOME TAKE YEARS
AND SOME ONE DAY,

BECAUSE WE ALL GROW
IN OUR OWN WAY.

Elinor sings, WOO
