00:01At harvest time,
00:03farmer Rankins liked having a few extra hands around to help pick the apples.
00:10This year, he also had extra feet.
00:22It's real nice of you two to help out.
00:25Our orchard is small, so getting every apple is important.
00:31Well, that's what neighbors are for.
00:47He's certainly built for apple picking.
00:55Can't say the same for your hat.
01:01I'm going to join the missus round back.
01:03Once you've filled that cart, you can unload it in the washing trough.
01:07Will do!
01:08Where is the magic of apple,
01:11and how does the apple get wet,
01:13where is the apple getting wet?
01:15It's a little bit.
01:18You can't even dance.
01:19All right,
01:20let's go!
01:21We'll blow it out soon.
01:22You know what!
01:23Uh-huh.
01:24Hey!
01:27Oh, what?
01:30Oh, what?
01:34Oh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh?
01:40Ah, oh, ah.
01:43Uh-oh, huh, huh, huh, huh.
01:47Uh-oh, uh-huh, ah-huh.
01:50Ah-ha.
01:53Chumpy had found a perfect apple.
01:58Oh, one more?
02:22Okay, put it in.
02:25Jumpy's perfect apple was in there somewhere.
02:38But where?
02:44Chumpy apparently didn't know that the Rinkins needed every apple.
02:49Easy now, George.
02:51That lever releases all of the apples.
02:54George thought that was an excellent way to get Jumpy out of the cart.
03:01No!
03:05And it worked.
03:16Jumpy decided he should hide his perfect apple.
03:20Maybe in there.
03:27Well, that's okay.
03:28We can gather them up again.
03:33Or I can just do it myself.
03:46What was this?
03:47It must have been some kind of monkey playground with all sorts of things to climb on and swing from.
04:01But George wasn't there to play.
04:03He had to get that apple from Jumpy.
04:05If only he could find a light switch.
04:08A-ha!
04:09A-ha!
04:10A-ha!
04:11A-ha!
04:12A-ha!
04:13A-ha!
04:14A-ha!
04:15A-ha!
04:16A-ha!
04:17A-ha!
04:18A-ha!
04:19A-ha!
04:20A-ha!
04:21A-ha!
04:22A-ha!
04:23A-ha!
04:24A-ha!
04:25A-ha!
04:26A-ha!
04:27A-ha!
04:28A-ha!
04:29A-ha!
04:30A-ha!
04:31A-ha!
04:32A-ha!
04:33A-ha!
04:34A-ha!
04:35A-ha!
04:36George was surprised that he made a ride for them.
04:41Those buckets must be there to carry the apples high out of the reach of squirrels.
04:47Wait, where was Jumpy?
05:01When a monkey's looking forward to helping feed Bill's bunnies,
05:06the men with the yellow hat can't drive from the city to the country fast enough.
05:22Hi, George. Afraid we won't get to play this weekend. I'm going to my grandmother's.
05:31The bunnies are coming, too.
05:32Grandma sure likes bunnies. She says,
05:38Bill, I sure like bunnies.
05:45See ya.
05:52Sadly, there'd be no bunny feeding this trip.
05:55But there were still birds that needed to eat.
06:11George's head was so full of bunnies,
06:14he almost forgot how much he liked to feed the birds.
06:16You sure you want such a giant bag of bird feed, George?
06:35This big bag would feed more birds than a small box could,
06:42and George planned to watch lots of birds eat.
06:44Huh?
06:44That's a big deal.
06:47Yeah?
06:47That's so cool.
06:49I don't know.
06:50Yeah.
06:50Oh, wow.
06:50Yeah.
06:51What?
06:51Yeah.
06:52Oh.
06:52So much.
06:53Oh, I think we were talking about stuff.
06:55Go.
06:59Go.
07:00Oh, uh, uh.
07:01Oh, uh, uh.
07:01Oh, uh, uh.
07:03Oh, uh, uh, uh.
07:05Oh, uh, uh.
07:06Uh, uh.
07:07Uh, uh, uh, uh.
07:10Uh.
07:12Uh, uh.
07:12And now, a fun weekend of watching happy birds eat.
07:42George never saw birds eat so fast, they must be starving.
07:56These birds were lucky they had a generous monkey around.
08:03Oh!
08:10Oh!
08:15Oh!
08:20Oh!
08:29How did Jumpy Squirrel get up into the bird feeder?
08:46That's how.
08:53George wished there was some easier way to get the feed to the feeder.
08:57Like in a dump truck or a crane.
09:01Or in this nice handy scooper.
09:06Some days, having a working brain really pays off.
09:17If George wanted to watch birds eat, he had to keep Jumpy away.
09:27That squirrel wouldn't be able to climb up this thing and get into the feeder from way over here.
09:38Being back in the country was exciting.
09:43George wondered if anything had changed since he'd been gone.
09:46George had never seen so many flowers at Bill's house.
09:53That's some garden you've got going.
09:56Thanks to the Rankin's compost.
10:04George couldn't figure out why Bill was adding dirt...
10:07...to the dirt.
10:14Compost isn't just dirt.
10:16Take leaves, grass, leftover food, mix it in a hole with air, dirt, and water.
10:24Compost!
10:25It didn't smell like leftovers.
10:31It's food for plants.
10:33After all, plants get hungry too.
10:34Oh!
10:35Oh!
10:47George never fed these plants.
10:49They had to be starving.
10:51These leftovers would be perfect.
11:12Oh!
11:13These leftovers would be perfect.
11:16George felt like the world's best monkey compost chef.
11:39George got up early, so he could serve the plants breakfast.
12:03George, do you want blueberries with your...
12:07Ooh!
12:09What is that smell?
12:12Ah-ha-ha!
12:17Were you trying to make compost?
12:21What?
12:21I think you need to hear from the experts.
12:25Ooh!
12:27This makes good compost, George.
12:30Leftover fruit and vegetables, bits of plant, and dirt.
12:37Mm-hmm. You can use any leftovers except meat, fish, and dairy products like milk, butter, cheese, or mayonnaise.
12:46That makes it smell bad and attracts animals.
12:51After a few weeks, these different things turn old.
12:55They decay and become food for other plants.
12:58George was glad to hear there was a use for forgotten bananas.
13:10Now this is what your compost should look like.
13:14And smell like.
13:18It smelled like... earth.
13:23Stir it up so it gets lots of air.
13:28Ha, ha, ha.
13:28Ha, ha, ha.
13:35This will keep your plants healthy and green.
13:38Ooh.
13:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
13:53Ah, ha.
13:54George took his compost container back to the city with him, in case he found other plants in need.
14:05I'll get dinner started.
14:12This plant looked hungry.
14:21They all did.
14:24Fortunately, George knew what to do.
14:27George liked everything on the menu at the Why Go Buy Diner, especially the maze puzzles.
14:36Good job, George.
14:38But do you think you're ready to face the maze at Rankin's Farm?
14:48Wow, there it is.
14:51That was the maze?
14:53George was going to need a bigger crayon.
14:57Welcome, radio listeners, to the amazing maze race.
15:04The annual contest to see who can solve Farmer Rankin's cornfield maze the fastest.
15:10This year, Farmer Rankin's has cut a doozy of a path, with more T intersections and dead ends than ever.
15:17Who ever first finds the exit, way over by the barn, wins, don't you know?
15:24I see our competitors have received their maps.
15:28Let's find out what strategies they'll be using.
15:32Oh, we're leaving it all up to Tina.
15:35Who's Tina?
15:36Not who? What? Our tiny, intelligent navigation aid.
15:44Tina uses satellites, sonar, and infrared signals.
15:48Yeah. In fact, we won't even need our map.
15:51Yeah.
15:52Where's your partner, Sprint?
15:54My partner would just slow me down.
15:57So would read in the map.
15:59I plan to keep running until I find the exit.
16:02I'm keeping track of where I go by dropping kernels of corn.
16:05Or maize, as it's known throughout the world.
16:08We're going to rely on our map.
16:11George is great at paper mazes.
16:16Don't worry, George.
16:18The map is just like the maze on your menu, only a little bigger.
16:25Okay.
16:26The only rule is that you cannot cut through the corn stalks.
16:30Everybody ready?
16:31Yes!
16:32On your marks, get set.
16:36Maze!
16:38Turn right.
16:57Come in, throw up.
17:00See?
17:01We are here.
17:03That way has a dead end around the corner.
17:07Ah, rats!
17:08Get in!
17:11So, we should go this way.
17:14Ah-ha!
17:16Excuse me.
17:24Bear left.
17:26Oh, this is incredible.
17:34Already one team has reached checkpoint one, where they must ring the bell.
17:44Continue straight.
17:46Ah-ha!
17:47Straight.
17:48On your left.
17:49I know the bell sounded like it's that way, but we are here.
17:58The map says left.
17:59The map says left.
18:01Woo-hoo!
18:02Ha-ha-ha-ha!
18:02Hold on, George.
18:05Ha-ha!
18:05Hmm.
18:07Oh, tough break for the little monkey.
18:09He's hit another dead end, leaving them in last place there.
18:13Oh, but Team Quint has hit checkpoint two.
18:17That has to be a record.
18:20And young Bill is a-catching up.
18:23I've already been there and there, so now I go right.
18:30Here we are.
18:33Ah-ha!
18:35You want to ring the bell?
18:36Woo-hoo!
18:37Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
18:38Team George is the last to reach checkpoint one.
18:43I doubt they'll ever catch Team Quint.
18:49Now, turn.
18:52Hmm.
18:53Just turn?
18:55Well, whatever you say, Tina.
18:57This doesn't feel right.
19:06See?
19:07Here's the bridge and the red tractor.
19:10It's all on the map.
19:11Ah!
19:13The maze looked a lot more like the map when seen from above.
19:18And now George could easily see the path to the next bell.
19:21Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:23Woo-hoo!
19:23Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:25I'm right behind you, George.
19:29George and the man with the yellow hat were giving Professor Wiseman a hand, testing her
19:33newest invention.
19:35Oh, this is great!
19:37Ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:39The Wiseman Digzacta measures how much soil you remove.
19:43Perfect for archaeological excavation.
19:46Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:48Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:49Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:50Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:51Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:53That shows you've removed exactly one square foot of dirt.
19:56Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:57Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:58Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
19:59I get it!
20:00When you talk to the science board, you won't have to use it.
20:03Just answer any questions they may have.
20:05Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
20:06Oh, sure.
20:07I can do that.
20:08It's so simple, I won't even get nervous.
20:12Thanks a million.
20:13I'd do it myself, but I have to fly to Turkey.
20:16A new find at Sagalassos.
20:18Your Digzacta is in good hands.
20:21Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
20:24I don't know how other geniuses do it without a guy and a monkey like you.
20:28Bye!
20:29Hi!
20:30George!
20:31Stop right there!
20:33Ha-ha-ha-ha!
20:35Don't touch that stuff with three leaves.
20:38It's poison ivy.
20:40Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
20:42If it touches your skin, you get a red rash and blisters.
20:45Very itchy.
20:47Ooh!
20:48Yuck!
20:49Remember the three leaves.
20:51Leaves of three, let it be.
20:54Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
20:56Uh-huh.
20:57When you work in a garden, you must always be very careful to...
21:02Oh!
21:03Uh!
21:04Oh!
21:05Oh!
21:06Oh!
21:07Oh!
21:08Oh!
21:09This isn't good.
21:15I washed my hands right away, but they're still itchy!
21:19Washing your hands immediately is the right thing to do, but you have had a severe allergic reaction.
21:25How long will my hands be bandaged?
21:34Three weeks. Always avoid poison ivy.
21:38Remember, leaves of three, let it be.
21:41Oh, three leaves. Mm-hmm.
21:43Three weeks. Oh, boy.
21:49Luckily, I won't need my hands to answer the science board's questions about Professor Wiseman's invention.
21:54Maybe three weeks without using my hands won't be so tough.
22:02I can't get my keys out of my pocket. Can you get them, George? In my jacket, up here.
22:16That tickles.
22:17George was more than happy to do everything the man usually did.
22:26I guess I'm gonna need your help, George.
22:31Oh, that looks good.
22:47The symphony.
22:50Oh, a western.
22:53Happy Animal Channel again.
22:54Oh, that's quick.
22:58George.
23:01O.
23:03M.
23:07It's just...
23:09It's...
23:12George, we've been doing this for two hours.
23:20What do we have?
23:22Dear...
23:23Mom.
23:25Well,
23:26what do you say we do more tomorrow?
23:27Uh-huh!
23:29I think we need to figure out ways I can do things for myself.
23:55Oh.
24:00Oh.
24:04Um, how would I use those?
24:07Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho.
24:16It works!
24:17You may be a genius!
24:20Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
24:21Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!
24:22It was a warm summer day in the country.
24:35A perfect day for kite flying with Bill.
24:41Faster!
24:42But Bill was busy yelling at a mound of dirt.
24:44You can do it! Show him what you got!
24:47George was pretty sure that a mound of dirt wouldn't move,
24:50no matter how much you encouraged it.
24:53Hi, George!
24:57Being a city kid, you probably don't race worms, huh?
25:03They're in there, burrowing.
25:08First one to dig its way out wins.
25:13Here they come!
25:17Freddy's in the lead!
25:18Oh, right! Fast! Freddy wins again!
25:29Isn't he a butte, George?
25:33George?
25:33George went to find his own racing worms,
25:40and he knew just where to find them.
25:43Sometimes they were under the damp leaves in the shade.
25:46Sometimes he would find them hiding just below the soft earth by the roses.
26:08And eat them more.
26:20Wow! That sure is a biggie, George!
26:22Hehehehe!
26:23And he sure got a lot of wiggle power!
26:26Look at all those segments.
26:29Huh?
26:30Worms' bodies are divided into little sections called segments,
26:35which are like muscles that help them to burrow in the soil.
26:38Oh!
26:41So what are you going to do with your new worm, George?
26:46You want to race fast, Freddy?
26:50The proper way to have a challenge race is on neutral territory,
26:54not in any racer's home yard.
26:57So, Bill and George took their worms to neutral territory,
27:01Lake Wanasink Lake.
27:04On your mark, get set!
27:07Go, worms!
27:09Kick, Freddy, dick!
27:13A worm race?
27:18Why, I haven't seen a good worm race since we were first dating.
27:23Yeah, silly sport though, worm racing.
27:27I'd rather use worms for catching catfish.
27:30Worm race over here!
27:33Did I hear worm race?
27:35Worm race!
27:36Worm race!
27:37Worm race!
27:38Worm race!
27:39Everybody loves a good worm race.
27:41Go, worms go!
27:42Go, worms go!
27:43Go, worms go!
27:44You can do it!
27:45Go, worms go!
27:46Go, worms go!
27:47Go, worms go!
27:48Go, worms go!
27:49Go, worms go!
27:50What's all the excitement?
27:51Well...
28:00Worm race!
28:01Wow!
28:02I haven't been to one of those since I was twelve!
28:03Go, Freddy! Dig, dig, dig!
28:06Go! Uh, what's George's worm's name?
28:11Oh, okay.
28:15I can't stand the suspense.
28:19That's George!
28:27Go! Um...
28:29Ha-ha!
28:30Go, Freddy! Go!
28:34Here comes Fast Freddy!
28:38And the winner is...
28:45Wow, city slang.
28:49The winner is George's worm via segment.
28:53Yay, George!
29:00What are you doing, George?
29:08Oh, digging for more worms, I see.
29:12Oh!
29:14Well, it's time to wash up for lunch.
29:16Ha-ha!
29:20Oh!
29:21Ah!
29:24Early on Sunday, the man with the yellow hat got called to an important meeting.
29:32I lost my snaky staircase!
29:34George, have you seen my snaky staircase?
29:37I... what?
29:38That's not possible!
29:39I...
29:40Hey!
29:41Oh!
29:42Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
29:43Oh, boy.
29:46Ha-ha-ha-ha!
29:47Oh!
29:49Oh.
29:51Thanks.
29:52Professor Wiseman says I should show my drawings to Dr. Forbin, but she didn't say why.
29:57Ooh!
29:58Ha-ha-ha-ha!
30:00She only said it's a great chance and I should hurry over.
30:03Come on!
30:04Can't be late!
30:05Ha-ha-ha-ha!
30:07I have to be at the airport in an hour.
30:15I can't wait around.
30:17Don't worry.
30:18He's always on time.
30:21Usually.
30:22Well, you'll love his drawings when he gets here.
30:27Ah, we're in too much of a hurry to walk.
30:30We're gonna take the bus.
30:31Ha-ha!
30:32You want to see where we're going on the map?
30:43Uh-huh.
30:43Okay.
30:44Here's where we are now.
30:46We're going up here on the other side of the park.
30:50Oh!
30:50Ha-ha-ha-ha!
30:52We'll ride the bus over to where the library is and turn left.
30:55Uh-huh.
30:56Then we'll go up past 1st Street, 2nd Street, all the way to 10th Street.
31:00Ah!
31:01Then we'll turn left again and go over to the glass palace.
31:06Okay.
31:07Huh.
31:08George wanted to take a map with him to trace their route, but there were no free maps left.
31:14Ah!
31:16Here's the bus.
31:17Ah!
31:26Next stop, library.
31:31George enjoyed riding the bus and watching the city go by.
31:36George saw something that really caught his eye.
31:55Woo!
31:56A bus stop with lots of free maps.
31:59George?
32:06George?
32:08George?
32:14George, this isn't our stop.
32:16We have a long way to go.
32:19Next stop, 1st Street.
32:22Uh-oh.
32:22My portfolio!
32:24Wait!
32:24Stop!
32:25Stop!
32:25Huh?
32:25Huh?
32:27Ah!
32:27Ah!
32:28Ah!
32:37Oh.
32:38Okay, okay.
32:40This is not a problem.
32:42This is not a problem.
32:43All that happened is the bus drove off with my presentation.
32:47The one I'm supposed to show in 7 minutes.
32:55Right.
32:55We have a map.
32:56So we know exactly where that bus is going.
32:59We just have to catch up with it.
33:06He can get on that bike and catch the bus.
33:08Taxi!
33:10Taxi!
33:12Taxi!
33:14Taxi!
33:15Taxi!
33:16Oh!
33:19George!
33:22George, come back!
33:24Taxi!
33:27I have to leave in 6 minutes.
33:30He'll be here.
33:38George knew from the map they were on the same route as the bus.
33:56But could they catch it?
34:01Taxi!
34:04Quick!
34:05I'm trying to catch a bus.
34:08You're taking a cab to catch a bus.
34:10And keep your eyes open for a monkey on a bicycle.
34:14You want me to find you a monkey on a bicycle.
34:18It was a good day for bouncing balls.
34:35Huh?
34:36Huh?
34:38If one bouncing ball was fun, George could hardly imagine how much fun he'd have with that many.
34:56Welcome to the launch of the new mecha-bouncing fun ball.
35:03George wondered how far a mega-bouncing ball could mega-bounce.
35:05George wondered how far a mega-bouncing ball could mega-bounce.
35:10Gotcha!
35:11Hahaha.
35:12This is the first fun ball contest ever.
35:12I've messed with Jimmy.
35:25This is the first fun ball contest ever!
35:28this is the first fun ball contest ever anywhere and whoever comes closest to
35:44guessing the number of fun balls in this rocket gets to keep them all and a rocket
35:51and now your entries have to be in the guest box by five o'clock today don't bother entering
36:00cuz I'm gonna win oh really I've got a surefire secret number figuring formula
36:21this calls for some math good luck may the best girl win or monkey if one bouncing ball was fun
36:36George could hardly imagine how much fun he'd have with that many George just had to win if he had his
36:47own fun ball machine he could count how many balls fit inside it and win for sure maybe he
36:54didn't need a whole machine just something the same shape and size is the part that held the fun balls
37:17huh now he had to find the container this size and shape he didn't have one round container in his
37:30closet huh I want to practice my swing have you seen my golf balls George
37:43George remembered they had a hat box that was just the right shape
37:56a box this shape and size should hold about the same number of balls as the fun ball machine
38:19that machine held more fun balls than this because these were too big George needed smaller round
38:41things to fill the box found them but I can't practice now I gotta go pick up our fruit and veggies at
38:48the grocery store some fruit was smaller and round you'll pick them up oh well great George thanks I'll be at the park
39:02here they come Hundley
39:06Hundley forgot today was the day they promised to take George out on their neat orderly boat
39:18your buddy George is coming aboard Hundley
39:21we're both excited about this we even bought matching life vests
39:28you guys look very snappy let's stow your stuff George
39:34well here we go
39:45no sail yet George we use a small motor to get in and out of the docks
39:55okay we're ready to set sail
40:07oh that's just a little crack I'm getting it fixed tomorrow
40:35it didn't seem possible for one monkey to mess up a whole boat so Hundley decided to enjoy the trip
40:45look school of dolphins ahead
40:56you can see if you're up higher
41:01George be careful
41:11you all right George
41:25should it do that no we better head home before it gets worse sorry guys
41:35Hundley was relieved the sooner they got home the less George could make a mess of things
41:43if we stop at Wilson's Island I can reinforce the boom so we can sail back without worrying
41:54great
41:56yeah that is weird palm trees don't grow in this part of the world do they no mr. Wilson brought in rocks shells and trees from the tropics
42:18to create an exotic island home wow so mr. Wilson lives here
42:27no he never moved in so now it's a deserted tropical island like you read about
42:35Wilson brought that too
42:42there's nowhere else like this within 5,000 miles of here come on let's get some wood leaves and vines to reinforce the boom
42:52we'll be right back
42:57that sand look messy Hundley decided to wait in a clean boat
43:15George had a chance to collect shells and some unusual rocks
43:33oh
43:39oh
43:45George remembered seeing that thing on the boat it must have fallen out
44:03attention will the Antarctic research team please report to the conference room immediately come

44:21our objective is to observe and record the behavior of the region's flightless native seabirds
44:28we're here to take pictures of penguins
44:31see this small family of chin strap penguins
44:34well this breed gets its name from the unique marking on its head
44:43we didn't see them on our last visit and i'm worried

45:43george couldn't wait to meet a real penguin
45:45i'm moving on to the nesting grounds of the emperor penguins
46:02you'll meet us at this spot at 9 a.m. right right remember if you get lost use the outpost beacon to find your way back
46:11don't worry if we get lost we can always find an igloo for shelter
46:16no you can't igloos are found in the arctic not in the antarctic
46:23that's right

46:57oh
47:03hi uh um i found a penguin

47:28like something on the other side of this snow
47:30oh
47:43George had found one of the Chinstrap Penguin family.
48:06George was so excited, he forgot to call the man with the yellow hat.
48:11He also forgot to look where he was going.
48:13The camera was waterproof, now George wished it would stay in one place.
