[Whirring, chuckling]
Panda says, UH, DO YOU THINK THAT YOU'LL MAKE IT THROUGH THE FOREST IN YOUR WHEELCHAIR, JEFF?
Jeff says, HUH?
Panda says, OH, IT'S JUST THAT IT'S NOT A VERY SMOOTH PATH. THERE'S A LOT OF BUMPY VINES AND ROCKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

Jeff says, AH...IT'S HARD TO SEE ANYTHING AT ALL WITH ALL THIS TALL GRASS.
Panda says, YEAH.
[Moth giggling, Panda giggling]
Panda says, I HEARD THE HEE-HEE HIDER!
Jeff says, HEY, LOOK OVER THERE!
[Giggling, tense music plays]
The hee-hee hider hides in the tall grass.
Donkey says, OOH, I THINK IT'S IN THERE! OH, BUT IF WE GET ANY CLOSER TO THAT GRASS, THE HEE-HEE HIDER WILL KNOW WE ARE HERE.
Panda whispers, YEAH, AND MIGHT FLY AWAY.
Donkey whispers, HMM... UH... UH... AH, I DON'T WANT TO GET ANY CLOSER.
[Slide whistle]
Jeff takes out a grabber.
Jeff says, YOU KNOW WHAT? I GOT THIS. AH-HAH.
Panda says, WHOA! WHAT IS THAT THING?
Jeff says, MY GRABBER. SEE, YOU MIGHT USE YOUR HANDS TO REACH SOMETHING FAR, BUT I CAN USE THIS. WE CAN DO THE SAME THING DIFFERENT WAYS.
[Tense music plays, grass rustling, gasping, moth giggling]
Jeff pushes the tall grass to the side with his grabber.
Jeff says, OKAY...
[Camera clicking, Donkey gasping]
Jeff takes a photograph, and the hee-hee hider moth flies away.
Donkey asks, DID YOU GET THE PICTURE?
Jeff replies, LET'S SEE.
A photograph shows part of the moth’s wing and tall grass.
Jeff says, AWW, NO. I JUST GOT PART OF ITS WING.
Panda says, WOW. THAT MOTH IS REALLY GOOD AT HIDE AND SEEK.
[Whirring]
Jeff says, HMM, MAYBE I'LL BE ABLE TO FIND THE MOTH IN THE DISTANCE. THESE BINOCULARS HERE WILL HELP ME SEE FAR AWAY.

[Tense music plays]

[Moth giggling, grass rustling, light music plays]
Through the telescope, Panda watches the moth flutter through tall grass.
Panda says, OH, I SEE IT! I SEE IT!
[Gasping]
Panda says, IT IS HEADED TOWARDS THE RAINBOW TREE!
Donkey says, THEN THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO GO.
Jeff says, I REALLY, REALLY HOPE THAT I CAN GET A PICTURE OF THAT HEE-HEE HIDER MOTH.
Donkey says, WE FOUND IT TWICE BEFORE. I THINK WE CAN FIND IT AGAIN.
[Donkey humming, whirring]
Panda says, HEY-OH!
Jeff says, YEAH!
[Upbeat music plays]
They arrive at the rainbow tree. The tree has orange and yellow leaves and a ramp curves around the trunk.
Jeff says, OKAY, EVERYTHING EXPLORERS. LET'S FIND THAT HEE-HEE HIDER MOTH.
[Leaves rustling, moth giggling]
Everyone ducks under the dangling leaves.
Jeff says, LOOK!
[Gasping, moth giggling, flapping]
The moth flies from a rock at the base of the tree to a branch.
Donkey says, OH NO! THERE ARE SO MANY BRANCHES AND LEAVES! HOW WILL WE EVER GET A PHOTO?
Jeff says, HMM. WE NEED TO GET UP INTO THOSE BRANCHES TO GET A BETTER LOOK.
Panda says, WE DO?
Donkey says, MAYBE WE CAN ALL CLIMB THE TREE, AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO FIND IT, HUH?
[Gulping, light music plays, birds singing]
Panda says, HERE'S THE THING. UM, I'VE NEVER CLIMBED THE RAINBOW TREE. AND HERE IS THE OTHER THING. I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO.
Donkey says, HMM. WELL, UH, OH! OH, WELL, MAYBE YOU COULD JUST WALK UP THAT RAMP IF YOU WANT TO, PANDA.
[Slide whistle]
Donkey looks at a branch across from the ramp.
Donkey says, AND I'LL CLIMB THE BRANCHES.

Panda says, OH! ALL RIGHT. HEY-OH! LET'S GO, EVERYTHING EXPLORERS!
[Donkey giggling, panting, grunting, upbeat music plays, scraping, ramp creaking, whirring, doors thunking]
Donkey climbs the tree, Panda walks up the steep ramp, and Jeff backs his wheelchair into the elevator.
Panda says, OKAY, OKAY...
[Exhaling]
Panda looks around. He smiles and nods.
[Whirring]
Jeff looks at the leaves as he rides in the elevator.
Jeff says, HMM!
[Donkey grunting, Panda giggling, upbeat music continues, clunking, whirring, moth giggling]
Donkey climbs higher. Panda looks around, smiling. Jeff arrives and leaves the elevator. The moth lands on a branch near a deck, and everyone moves towards the railing.
Donkey quietly says, LOOK! IT'S UP ON THAT BRANCH.
Everyone says, WOW!
Panda quietly asks, CAN YOU GET THE PICTURE, JEFF?
Jeff quietly says, I THINK SO.
[Camera whirring, moth giggling, nervous giggling, camera clicking]
Jeff slowly positions his camera and focuses the lens. Panda and Donkey hold their hands to their mouths. Jeff takes a photograph, and the moth flies away.
Jeff says, GOT IT! MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM.
[Whirring, upbeat music plays]
Jeff, Donkey, and Panda meet at the base of the tree.
Jeff says, OKAY! HERE IT IS!
[Chiming]
Jeff shows Panda and Donkey the photograph of the hee-hee hider moth.
Panda says, HEY-OH!
Donkey says, HEE-HAWESOME!
[Donkey laughing]
Panda says, WOW, LOOK AT THAT.
[Whooshing]
Later, everyone looks at the hee-hee hider moth photograph in Jeff’s book.
Jeff says, WE DID IT, EXPLORERS!
Donkey says, WE EXPLORED! AND DID THE SAME THING IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
Panda says, AND FOUND THAT HEE-HEE HIDER MOTH TOGETHER!
Donkey cheers, HEE-HAW!
Panda cheers, HEY-OH!
Jeff cheers, HOORAY!
[Lively music plays]
Everyone sings, WE'RE THE EVERYTHING EXPLORERS, EXPLORING EVERYTHING. WE CAN DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY AND WE ALL LIKE TO SING. WE OBSERVE THINGS VERY CLOSELY. YES, WE SEARCH HIGH AND LOW. WE FOUND THAT HEE-HEE HIDER AND GOT A GREAT PHOTO. ZOOMY-ZOOM AND ZING-A-ZEE. WE FOUND THAT HIDING MOTH THAT SAYS HEE-HEE.

Donkey quietly says, LOOK! IT'S UP ON THAT BRANCH.
Everyone says, WOW!
Panda quietly asks, CAN YOU GET THE PICTURE, JEFF?
Jeff quietly says, I THINK SO.
[Camera whirring, moth giggling, nervous giggling, camera clicking]
Jeff slowly positions his camera and focuses the lens. Panda and Donkey hold their hands to their mouths. Jeff takes a photograph, and the moth flies away.
Jeff says, GOT IT! MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM.
[Whirring, upbeat music plays]
Jeff, Donkey, and Panda meet at the base of the tree.
Jeff says, OKAY! HERE IT IS!
[Chiming]
Jeff shows Panda and Donkey the photograph of the hee-hee hider moth.
Panda says, HEY-OH!
Donkey says, HEE-HAWESOME!
[Donkey laughing]
Panda says, WOW, LOOK AT THAT.
[Whooshing]
Later, everyone looks at the hee-hee hider moth photograph in Jeff’s book.
Jeff says, WE DID IT, EXPLORERS!
Donkey says, WE EXPLORED! AND DID THE SAME THING IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
Panda says, AND FOUND THAT HEE-HEE HIDER MOTH TOGETHER!
Donkey cheers, HEE-HAW!
Panda cheers, HEY-OH!
Jeff cheers, HOORAY!
[Lively music plays]
Everyone sings, WE'RE THE EVERYTHING EXPLORERS, EXPLORING EVERYTHING. WE CAN DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY AND WE ALL LIKE TO SING. WE OBSERVE THINGS VERY CLOSELY. YES, WE SEARCH HIGH AND LOW. WE FOUND THAT HEE-HEE HIDER AND GOT A GREAT PHOTO. ZOOMY-ZOOM AND ZING-A-ZEE. WE FOUND THAT HIDING MOTH THAT SAYS HEE-HEE.
Panda says, HEY-OH!
