[Karl] When's the train going to get here?
Two minutes ago, according to the schedule. It's late.
How lucky for the passengers.
They get to enjoy their train ride for that much longer.
I've never thought of it that way.
It's nice to find new ways to think about things.
I'm so excited to meet your niece.
Yeah, me too.
How long is she going to stay?
She'll be staying for a few weeks, Karl.
I know Koo is excited to meet all of you.
Michael, what are these?
Capsule dispensers.
You put a coin in the slot, then turn the dial and a toy comes out.
Really? Can I use my coin I've been saving?
Sure. You want me to help you?
No, I can do it.
-[mechanism clicks] -[coin rattles]
[Karl chuckles]
-What did you get? -Look!
[Michael] It's a little panda.
[train whistle blowing]
-The train's here! The train's here! -[train approaching]
Koo! Welcome.
And how was your journey?
My journey was long.
I'm so pleased to see you, Uncle Stillwater.
Aw.
I'm pleased to see you, precious niece.
May I introduce my friends?
Addy, Michael and Karl.
I have heard so much. To meet you brings me great joy.
A small gift for you.
Thank you.
Thanks.
-Thank you. -[Stillwater laughs] Oh!
Shall we head home? [laughs]
Ooh.
Ohh! It's beautiful here.
All the things I see and hear.
[gasps, sniffs] And it smells so good.
We like it here too. That's our house over there.
Then we are neighbors. My visit will be so fun.
Will we play later?
Oh, yeah. We have lots of fun things planned.
Would you like to see your room?
This is gonna be so much fun.
We'll see you soon, Koo.
Isn't she the sweetest? She's so nice.
I like how curious she is.
Did you see how she noticed everything?
What do you think of Koo, Karl?
She's fine, I guess.
I bet she's going to be great at sports.
[Addy] I wonder what kind of games she likes.
Hi, Koo.
This should be everything we need.
Here's what we'll be making. [chuckles]
Cute, aren't they?
So very precious.
I look forward to felting. Such a fun new craft.
Can you help me make this puzzle, Addy?
I'd love to, Karl, but I'm showing Koo how to make felt animals.
But it's the new one we've been wanting to do.
We've already planned all these fun things for Koo. She's our guest.
Why don't you join us?
I'm going to play cars.
Michael, come inside and see my racetrack. It has a double loop!
Sounds cool, but I'm getting ready to teach Koo how to play catch.
It was a real hoot to make this little fellow.
-What will we do now? -[Michael] Baseball!
Ready to learn how to play?
Here, Koo. Try on this glove for size.
Wait, Karl! Aren't you gonna join us?
I don't feel like it. I'm going to go fly my kite.
Hi, Stillwater.
I'm going to go fly my kite. Do you want to fly it with me?
I'll be taking Koo to the market shortly. Perhaps when we return.
That's okay. Never mind. [sighs]
Would you like to keep me company until Koo comes home?
Hmm. You're having some big feelings right now.
I feel sad.
Nobody will do anything I want to do because Koo's here.
And everyone's only paying attention to her.
I wish things were back the way they were.
We were all used to things a certain way before.
But things have changed today, haven't they?
Yeah.
Is everyone going to forget about me now that Koo is here?
No one could ever forget about you, Karl.
Really?
Really. But I understand how you feel.
Would you like to hear a story about someone else who had these same feelings?
Though he was getting bigger every day,
little Joey loved spending time with his mama.
Look how fast I can go.
That is some serious hopping, my love.
[giggles]
Ah, what an angel.
So adorable. Mm-hmm.
Peek, peek.
Now, where's my little peek-a-roo?
Peek. [giggles]
[chuckles] Dorris. Dorris. You have to come see this.
Ooh. [chuckles] Peekaboo.
-Peek. -[both chuckling]
[giggles]
-[Dorris chuckles] Oh. -Oh, yeah? Well, look what I can do.
Mm-hmm. [squeals]
-Peekaboo. [squeals, chuckles] -[baby] Peek.
-What an angel. -[chuckles]
-[baby] Peek. Peek. -[neighbor] Peekaboo.
-[Dorris] So adorable. -[chuckles]
-Look at him. -Oh. [chuckles]
[gasps]
Can we go now, Mama?
All right, my love.
Why are you sitting all alone, Joey?
'Cause that's how I feel, all alone.
Oh?
Ever since Sister came along, it's like I'm all invisible.
I can see how you might feel that way.
Having a sister is going to take some getting used to.
She also needs my love, but that doesn't mean I love you any less.
It doesn't?
Not in the least.
We have a very old saying,
"What is well planted will not be uprooted."
Just like this gum tree.
Its roots go deep, and it will always be a part of our community.
Just like you have deep roots in our family.
I do?
The deepest.
-Peek. -[giggles]
I'm glad I have deep roots.
And I'm glad I have a little sister. Wanna know why?
Why?
Because someone needs to teach Jilly how to do a triple hop.
And that's gonna be me.
Watch, Jilly.
Hop, hop, hop, hop.
You have to jump really high and really fast, like this.
Hop, hop.
[giggles] Joey, hug.
I have deep roots too, don't I? Just like Joey.
You do, indeed.
So I don't have to worry about everyone forgetting about me.
You're right.
Michael and Addy have all these fun things to do with Koo.
I want to have something fun to do with her too.
Ah, your very own triple hop.
Uncle! I played catch. And made this very sweet owl.
This day has been fun.
I'm very glad to hear it. Are you ready to go to the market now?
Maybe when you get back, Koo and I could play?
Uncle, I wonder, could perhaps the market wait so I can play now?
Of course. There's always time to shop later.
Oh! This is for you.
Uncle, look at this! A little me is inside.
I will cherish it.
What do you wanna do?
The puzzle looked fun. And the racing cars were neat.
But may we fly kites?
Sure! I'm just about the best kite flyer on our whole block,
so I can teach you everything I know.
[both giggling]
[imitates bird squawking]
Hi, Stillwater.
Thanks again for letting us use your house for the puppet show.
You're welcome, Addy.
And thank you for your invitation to watch later.
I'll be so happy to see my favorite friends do their puppet show.
I'm excited too, Koo. See you tonight!
I've been working really hard on this all week.
I've got the puppets, the stage, a background.
Now all I need to do is finish the story.
Who do we get to be?
Can I be the parrot? [chuckles] He's funny.
Good, 'cause I made him especially for you.
Really? Thanks, Addy!
[imitates parrot squawking]
Here's what I have so far. You guys can help me act it out.
Captain Carly was the best treasure hunter in all the seven seas.
She went everywhere with her best friend, Parrot.
[imitates parrot squawking]
Nice squawking, Karl. [chuckles]
And they were always running away from… Barnacle Barry.
That's you, Michael.
I just had an idea.
What if it's at nighttime instead to make it all spooky?
Watch this.
Argh, mateys.
[gasps]
Um, I guess.
And then what if the moon suddenly comes out,
and they see Barnacle Barry's been hiding on the ship?
Maybe.
And then, what if--
It's just… It took a lot of work painting that sunny day.
And I really wanted to use it.
I have an idea too!
What if her best friend is actually a space alien?
There aren't any aliens on pirate ships, Karl.
But I can do a really good alien voice, listen…
[imitates alien voice]
Maybe you can be an alien after the show, Karl.
I made the parrot specially for you, remember?
Oh, um, the thing is,
I don't know if it can be a parrot anymore.
[Addy] You glued on googly eyes?
[groans] It took me, like, forever to make that.
I was just trying to help.
This show isn't going the way I imagined it.
[sighs] I need a break.
[groans]
Wow, Addy looks mad.
Puppet shows have big feelings. What will happen next?
I'm not sure that was part of the show, Koo.
Perhaps I should see if Addy would like a breathing partner.
[breathing deeply]
[both breathe deeply]
And how is your breathing coming today, Addy?
[sighs] Not so good.
It seems you are finding it difficult to relax.
I had all these plans for the puppet show
and worked really hard setting everything up.
But when I asked Michael and Karl if they wanted to help,
they started ignoring my ideas and taking over with their own.
I thought it'd be fun doing it all together,
but maybe it would've been easier if I just kept it to myself.
[breathes deeply]
I can see why that would give you a lot of feelings.
You had a plan for this show, and suddenly that plan was questioned by others.
It feels a bit like what happened to my friend, the painter.
She had her own plan for a mural.
Did other people try to change her plans too?
[chuckles] Why don't I tell you about it?
[shutter clicks]
[Stillwater] Marina was a very fine artist.
One summer, she was asked by the town to turn the plain old harbor wall
into a beautiful mural for all her neighbors to enjoy.
[sighs]
Looking great, Marina.
Thanks. Just one last section to paint.
[Stillwater] But when she returned to finish her mural in the morning,
she was surprised by some changes that were made to it.
Oh, no!
Who painted over my mural?
You don't like it?
Bodhi.
You mean you did this?
You painted such a pretty picture of our beach,
but it felt lonely without anyone in it.
I thought maybe I could help you.
[sighs] Bodhi.
It was kind of you to try and help, but I had something different in mind.
Hey! Look at Marina's mural now.
How generous of you to let Bodhi paint himself in.
Uh, wha--
It was good before, but now it's even better.
You're right. It's so much better.
[Stillwater] As Marina listened to her neighbors admire her mural,
something changed in how she thought about it too.
This was a mural for everyone to enjoy, after all.
Maybe everyone had some ideas that could add something extra to her own.
What will you paint next, Marina?
Actually, I was wondering, what would you like to see?
-I have an idea! -Hey, I know!
-I know! -Me too.
Could you paint me on the beach too, like Bodhi?
What about on your surfboard?
[chuckles] Even better!
[giggles]
[Stillwater] When Marina saw how happy she made her neighbors,
she knew there was something special about this mural.
[Stillwater] It was a lot like the mural she had first imagined.
But the great thing about this new one was that she inspired others.
And that, in turn, inspired Marina.
It was still her painting, but it somehow also belonged to everyone.
I think I get it now.
Michael and Karl weren't trying to take over.
They were just excited to put in their ideas, too.
To have inspired them like that is a great compliment to your own creativity.
Maybe I could try being more open to their suggestions.
And maybe, with all of us, it could become something even better, like the mural.
I look forward to seeing the result tonight.
We're sorry, Addy.
We didn't mean to start changing everything you worked so hard on.
I'm sorry I turned your parrot into an alien.
But I fixed it!
You don't have to be sorry.
I'm glad you were excited about ideas for my show.
It got me thinking,
maybe the pirate ship can be hit by a dark and spooky thunderstorm.
Awesome!
Yes!
That way, we can still use your sunshine backdrop.
And, Karl, I think it'd be funny
if your parrot had a spell cast on him by the wicked witch of the sea
that turned him into a sea monster with lots of googly eyes.
[gasps] Then they have to find the right spell to change him back.
All right!
[clears throat] Koo and I had an idea, too.
We made curtains.
[chuckles]
See, Addy? I knew you were going to make the best show ever.
No, Karl.
We made the best show ever. And we better get it started.
[audience applauding]
[Addy] It all began
when Captain Carly's parrot got hit by the wicked witch's spell,
-turning him into a sea monster! -[Karl imitates sea monster]
[audience laughing]
Listen. They like it already!
Sounds like they really do.
[Michael] Argh. Storm's a-brewing, mateys.
[Karl and Michael imitate thunder and stormy weather]
What a clever storm. And such a funny parrot.
Don't you think, Uncle?
Mm-hmm.
[Koo] Never have I seen a show like Addy's before.
It's very special.
-Most special indeed, Koo. -[Karl imitating sea monster]
-[audience laughing] -[all laughing]
-[Michael] Argh, mateys. -[Addy] Heave to!
-[Stillwater chuckles] -[Karl squawks]
