(music plays)

A boy pops up wearing cowboy clothes. He has wavy black hair.

A caption reads "Ranger Dalmar."

Then, a girl pops out of a barrel wearing a cowboy hat. She has curly brown hair. She winks an eye.

A caption reads "Ranger Kara."

Now another boy pops out of a saloon wearing ranger clothes. He has short blond hair.

A caption reads "Ranger Drew."

Now a woman with a white dress sits in a bookshop reading.

A caption reads "Miss Bookworth."

Now a woman and two bandits sit inside a room.

A caption reads "The Mayor McNab, Pinky and Giggles."

Now a man dances crazily as he laughs.

A caption reads "Cookie."

A sign in old Western style with a star on top, reads "The reading rangers."

The sign leaves a brand on a wooden wall.

Ranger Kara, Ranger Dalmar, Ranger Drew, and Mayor McNab appear on screen sitting around a campfire at night in the desert.

Ranger Kara says WELL, I THINK IT'S
TIME FOR RANGER DREW
TO TELL A STORY.

Ranger Drew says WHY, THANK YOU,
MA'AM.
ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS A STORY ABOUT A MAN
WHO WANTED TO DO SOMETHING
REALLY NICE FOR HIS
BOSS' BIRTHDAY.

Pinky appears on screen in Mayor McNab?s office.

Pinky says HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
MISS MAYOR.

Mayor McNab opens the box and says WHAT'S THIS?

Pinky says DECORATIVE
SHOE LACES.

Mayor McNab says OH... THANKS.

Ranger Drew says YEAR AFTER YEAR SHE NEVER
LIKED HER BIRTHDAY GIFTS.

Mayor McNab says WHAT'S THIS?

Pinky says DECORATIVE SOAPS.

Ranger Drew says OH... THANKS.
BUT SHE WOULD NEVER
BE HAPPY WITH THE PRESENT.
SO HE SEARCHED, AND HE
SEARCHED HIS MIND FOR ONE
THING THAT HIS BOSS
WOULD REALLY LIKE.

Pinky says CAKE.
I'LL BAKE HER A CAKE.

Ranger Drew says ONE PROBLEM THOUGH,
HE DIDN'T KNOW THE FIRST
THING ABOUT BAKING A CAKE.
AND SO GUESS WHAT HE DID?
HE WENT AND TOOK LESSONS
FROM THE MOST FAMOUS BAKER
IN DOCVILLE.

Pinky appears on screen with Ranger Kara and Ranger Kara says NOW EVERY CAKE IS MADE FROM
THE SAME BASIC INGREDIENTS.
YOU HAVE EGGS, SUGAR,
MILK, BUTTER AND FLOUR.
FLOWER?

Pinky says WELL, I GUESS THE
MAYOR WILL LIKE THAT.

Ranger Kara says YEAH, FLOUR.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE
SAME KIND OF FLOUR, RIGHT?

Pinky says YEAH, LIKE ROSES.

Ranger Kara says YEAH, LIKE ROSES.

Ranger Drew says THE BAKER WAS TALKING
ABOUT RED ROSES, THE FLOUR,
A FLOUR USED TO BAKE IT.
BUT WHEN HE HEARD
RED ROSES FLOUR,
HE THOUGHT RED
ROSES THE FLOWER.
SO EVERY TIME THAT SHE GAVE
HIM A RECIPE THAT SAID
RED ROSES FLOUR, HE WOULD PUT
RED ROSES, THE FLOWER IN IT.

Mayor McNab says THAT'S VERY FUNNY.

Ranger Dalmar says WAIT, WAIT, ARE WE TALKING
ABOUT FLOUR OR FLOWER?

Ranger Drew says BOTH, 'COS
THEY'RE HOMOPHONES.

Ranger Dalmar says HOMOPHONES?

Ranger Drew says YEAH, WORDS THAT
SOUND THE SAME BUT HAVE
DIFFERENT SPELLINGS
AND MEANINGS.
HOMOPHONES, LIKE FLOUR,
THE STUFF YOU BAKE WITH,
OR FLOWER, THE THINGS YOU
PLANT IN YOUR GARDEN.
THEY COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT
WHY EVERY CAKE THEY MADE WOULD
NEVER TURN OUT.

Back at the Inn, Ranger Kara brings the baked cake over to Pinky and he says OH, ANOTHER ONE?
I PUT IN ROSE PETALS
LIKE YOU TOLD ME.

Ranger Kara says ROSE PETALS?
FLOUR, NOT FLOWER.
I MEANT FOR YOU TO USE ROSES
FLOUR, NOT THE ROSE FLOWER.

Pinky says OH, I MIXED UP
FLOUR AND FLOWER.
OH, SHUCKS, I DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO.
MY BOSS' BIRTHDAY
IS COMING UP,
AND I DON'T HAVE A
GOOD CAKE TO GIVE HER.

Ranger Kara says FIRST RULE OF
BAKING,
YOU CAN COVER UP YOUR
MISTAKES WITH FROSTING.

Now Ranger Dalmar walks into Mayor McNab?s office and hands her a box.

Pinky says HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
MISS MAYOR.
I'M NOT SURE THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE IT.

Mayor McNab says WELL, IT WOULDN'T
BE THE FIRST TIME.
YOU BAKED ME A
CHOCOLATE CAKE?
FINALLY SOMETHING THAT
I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY.

Pinky says WELL, I'M NOT SURE IF IT
WILL TASTE VERY GOOD.

Mayor McNab says IT'S LIKE NOTHING I'VE
EVER TASTED BEFORE.
OH, I TOLD YOU YOU
WEREN'T GOING TO LIKE IT.

Pinky says IT'S GOOD.

Mayor McNab says IT'S REALLY GOOD.
MIND IF I TRY

Pinky says A PIECE?

Mayor McNab says NO, MY CAKE.

Back by the campfire, Ranger Drew says AND SO A
TRADITION WAS BORN.
EVERY YEAR, THE MAN WOULD
BAKE A CAKE FOR HIS BOSS
THAT WAS CHOCOLATE WITH NO
FLOUR, BUT WITH THE ESSENCE
OF ROSE PETALS THE FLOWER.
[chuckling]

Ranger Kara says THAT WAS A
GREAT STORY.

Ranger Drew says THANKS.

Ranger Kara says NOW WHO
BROUGHT DESSERT?

The TVO Kids logo appears on the wooden wall.
