A red book with a hamster on the cover appears against a background in which a castle can be seen.

Tumbleweed says TUMBLETOWN TALES!
STARRING ME,
TUMBLEWEED.

The red book opens. A popup castle comes up.

A group of hamsters work in booths in an office.
A sign on the office wall reads "Tumbletown Gazette."

One of the hamsters says GATHER ROUND,
EVERYONE.
YOUR
ATTENTION PLEASE.

She is gray and munches on some carrot.

A sign on the wall reads "Tumbletown food drive, this Saturday, donate or collect food items."

She continues NOW AS YOU MAY
ALREADY KNOW,
THE TUMBLETOWN FOOD
DRIVE IS THIS SATURDAY
AND I WANT EVERYONE
TO TAKE PART
BY COLLECTING
FOOD ITEMS.

Tumbleweed nervously says SATURDAY I USUALLY
GET MY FIR DOWN SO...

She answers TUMBLEWEED, SOME
RODENTS DON'T
HAVE
ENOUGH TO EAT.
AND WE CAN ALL
HELP.
SO LET'S GET
THE WELLY OUT.

A black hamster says WHAT?

She answers HELP COLLECT

STIFF UPPER LIP,
CHALKS AWAY,
TALLYHO AND

The black hamster says TOODLE

She answers TOODLE PIP
GOOD DAY!

Tumbleweed says WOW, SHE'S
REALLY INTO THIS.

The black hamster says WELL I HAVE A BIT OF TIME
THIS WEEKEND.

A brown hamster with a deep voice says YEAH I GUESS I CAN
HELP COLLECT SOME FOOD.

A small black hamster says LEWIS, THAT'S WHAT
I WAS GONNA SAY.

Tumbleweed says OKAY I'LL GET
MY WAGON
AND WE'LL SEE WHO
CAN COLLECT THE MOST.

A large brown hamster says YES!
LET'S TRY TO COLLECT
THE MOST FOOD EVER!

Another comments IT'S
ON.

Tumbleweed says PIP-PIP
CHEERIO!
I MEAN YAY, LET'S
DO THIS.
UH, OKAY,

He walks down the street dragging a red wagon behind him and says HERE WE GO.

Chinchilla opens the door and says CHINCHILLA.

Tumbleweed says AND A GOOD DAY TO
YOU TOO, CHINCHILLA.
I'M COLLECTING
DONATIONS
FOR THE
FOOD DRIVE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY
NONPARSHINABLE,
PARSH,
PERSHINABLE,

Chinchilla says CHINCHILLA.

Tumbleweed says YES, THANK
YOU.
ANYTHING IN
A CAN OR PACKAGE.
LIKE SOUP OR MACARONI
AND CHEESE.
I HEAR BOX SEEDS
ARE VERY POPULAR.

Chinchilla puts two cans in the wagon and says CHINCHILLA!

Tumbleweed says WOW, THAT'S
GREAT!
THANK YOU VERY
MUCH, CHINCHILLA!
I'M GONNA COLLECT
MORE THAN ANYBODY!

A hamster drives past him in a blue pickup truck packed with food and says HEY,
TUMBLEWEED!
LOOK AT ALL THE FOOD
I'VE GOT!

Tumbleweed looks at the truck and says LOOK HOW MUCH FOOD
JULIAN HAS ALREADY!
I BETTER GET
GOING
IF I HOPE
TO BEAT HIM.

He pulls the cart as he says I SHOULD'VE OILED
THESE WHEELS!

A white hamster sits on his boat porch and says I WOULD BE
HAPPY TO MAKE
A DONATION,
FUZZY FACE!
I GOT A LOT OF FISH,
YOU KNOW.

Tumbleweed says THANKS,
SEA CAPTAIN.
BUT THE FOOD NEEDS
TO BE NONPARSH
PERSHISH

Sea captain says ALMOST
THERE.
NON-PERISHABLE,
FUZZY FACE.
AND
I KNOW!
I MEANT CANNED TUNA
AND SALMON.

He throws some tuna cans in the cart.

Tumbleweed says OH, GOOD!

Rosa says HELLO,
TUMBLEWEED.
ARE YOU GETTING LOTS
OF FOOD DONATIONS?

Tumbleweed says I SURE
AM, ROSA.
LOOK AT MY
WAGON.

She shows him her wagon packed with food and says OH,
ME TOO.
LOOK AT MY
WAGON.

Sea captain jumps down from his boat porch and says OH,
BOY.
TIME TO STRETCH
ME SEA LEGS.

Tumbleweed walks up to Sal’s red and white fruit stand and says HEY, SAL, DO YOU
HAVE ANY FOOD?

He answers OH, SORRY,
TUMBLEWEED.
I ONLY HAVE
FRESH FOOD.
NO NONPERISHNA
PARSH
I DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING IN CAN.

Tumbleweed says OH,
OKAY.
WELL HOW ABOUT A
CASH DONATION?
SO THEY
CAN BUY
FRESH FOOD AND
VEGETABLES.

He answers OH, WELL, I DON'T
REALLY KNOW ABOUT THAT.

Tumbleweed says PLEASE?

Sal says OH,

He squeals PLEASE!

Sal says OKAY,
OKAY!
DON'T GO ANY
HIGHER.
MY EARS
ARE SENSITIVE.

Tumbleweed says THANK YOU,

A hamster drives by on a light blue and yellow large truck.

He says HEY,
TUMBLEWEED!
OVER
HERE!
THERE'S
TUMBLEWEED.

A smaller hamster in the truck says HEY,
TUMBLEWEED.
WE'RE ALL MEETING AT THE
DROP-OFF CENTRE.

He answers OKAY, GUYS,
I'M COMING!
WAIT
FOR ME!

He struggles and says I’M GOING TO PULL MY WAGON.

At the gathering, the large gray hamster in charge says CONGRATULATIONS
TO ALL OF YOU!
JOLLY
GOOD.
YOU'VE ALL DONE
A CAPITAL JOB.

Tumbleweed shows his small pile and says NOT
ME.
I DIDN'T COLLECT
AS MUCH
FOOD AS
YOU GUYS.

Rosa says OH, THAT'S OKAY,
TUMBLEWEED.
THE IMPORTANT
THING IS THAT
YOU ARE MAKING
A DIFFERENCE
IN SOMEBODY'S
LIFE.

The brown hamster says YES.
LOTS OF RODENTS
NEED A LITTLE HELP
AT THE END OF
THE MONTH.
THAT'S WHY
WE DO THIS.

A small black hamster comments THAT'S WHAT I KEEP
TRYING TO SAY!

Tumbleweed says YOU'RE
RIGHT!
AND YOU KNOW
WHAT?
IT FEELS REALLY GOOD
TO HELP OTHER RODENTS.

They all cheer and say YIPPEE!
JOLLY
GOOD SHOW.
SMASHING,
EVERYONE.

The hamster in charge says EVERYTHING IS
TICKITY-BOO.
TICKITY

The small black one says WHAT?

She repeats TICKITY-BOO.

Tumbleweed says THAT'S BECAUSE
THE BOO
YOU SEE,
IT'S TICKITY.

The TVO Kids logo appears.
