[Ruby reading]
Don't you just love
ballet class, Valerie?
The tutus and
the ballet slippers,
it's all so beautiful.
Ballet class is fun,
but I'm really looking forward
to making the poster for the
Bunny Scout dance recital.
Yes, it was a great idea
to draw a life-size
bunny ballerina.
Thanks.
I've never tried to draw
a life-size bunny ballerina.
Have you, Valerie?
No, but how hard can it be?
We're both bunnies, and we're
both ballerinas, right?
Ooh!
Well, almost.
I guess I need more practice.
There will be lots of time
for that after we finish
the poster.
Hmm.
[wind blowing]
[gasps]
Let's try drawing
the outline first,
and then we'll fill
in the rest later.
What position
should she be in?
Hmm.
The arabesque.
That's my favorite.
Mine too.
Ooh!
Maybe we can draw
it better than we can do it.
Max, your shadow's
getting in the way.
Shadow?
You know what your
shadow is, don't you, Max?
Everyone has a shadow.
See?
It's what happens
when a light
shines on you.
Your shadow does
whatever you do.
Say hello
to your shadow, Max.
You play with your shadow
while Valerie and I
work on our poster.
Shadow!
Shadow?
Wow, that's a great
elephant, Ruby.
I like elephants.
So do I,
but this isn't supposed
to be a zoo poster,
It's supposed to be a life-size
bunny ballerina poster.
We'll have to start again.
Shadow.
Max, I thought you were
playing with your shadow
over by the fence.
Your shadow can't be
here without you, Max.
Here, Valerie,
you try drawing
another ballerina
while I take Max
to play with his shadow.
Shadow!
See? There it is.
Have fun, Max.
I started to draw a ballerina,
but it ended up
looking more like a giraffe.
Hmm.
What we need
is a ballerina
we can copy,
something life-size,
like me.
Valerie, that's it!
I can copy you.
Shadow!
Max, you and your shadow
should be playing over
by the fence, not here.
We're trying to work.
Okay, Max, you go put on
your ballerina costume.
I'll be right back.
[wind blowing]
There it is,
right where you left it.
Have a good time, Max.
You too, Max's shadow.
Hi, Max.
Playing with your shadow,
are you?
Have you ever tried this?
Looks just like a dog,
doesn't it?
Woof!
Woof!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Nice meeting
your dog, Max. Bye.
[wind blowing]
Woof, woof.
That's it, Valerie.
Now hold still
while I draw you.
Okay.
Are you done yet?
Keep still. You're making
the lines go all wiggly.
I can't help it.
Hold on.
Hurry, I'm going to fall!
I'm drawing
as fast as I can.
Ah!
Sorry, Ruby.
I guess I need
more lessons.
That's okay.
Shadow.
What's the matter, Max?
Why aren't you playing
with your shadow?
He's going to be lonely
over there without you.
Come on, let's go back
and keep him company.
It looks like your shadow
has gone, Max.
The sun must be behind
that cloud.
Shadows don't like to play
outside when it's cloudy.
Why don't you play
with your balloon
while I get back to
my ballerina poster?
We'll never get this poster
finished, Ruby.
What are we going to do?
Don't worry, Valerie.
We'll think of something.
Grandma always says
there's sunshine
around every corner.
Here comes the sun, Max!
Start looking for your
[gasping]
Freeze, Max!
Max's shadow reaching
for his balloon
is a perfect arabesque pose.
Thanks, Max.
Now we have our poster,
and whenever
the sun goes away,
You still have your
Shadow.
[Ruby reading]
More tea, Mr. Quack?
Thank you for coming
to my tea party.
What's that, Emily?
Curly Shirley wants another
cookie but she's too shy
to ask?
Of course you can have another
cookie, Curly Shirley.
Don't feel shy.
Wait, Max.
What's that tied
around your finger?
String.
A string tied around your
finger can only mean one thing.
You know what it means,
don't you, Curly Shirley?
It's what you do when you're
trying to remember something.
You tie a string around
your finger like this,
and every time you see it
you think of the thing
you're supposed to remember.
So, what are you trying
to remember with that string
around your finger, Max?
String.
Don't tell me you've
forgotten already.
Don't worry, Max.
I'll help you remember
why you've tied that string
around your finger.
Aha!
You didn't put
your dirty dishes
in the sink after lunch.
Is this what you wanted
to remember?
String.
This is no time to play, Max.
We have to remember
what you're supposed
to remember.
Aha!
This must be what
you want to remember,
to finish your jigsaw puzzle.
Let's see, I wonder
what the picture is?
Hmm, this is the last piece.
Let's see how it fits
into the puzzle.
It's a spaceship!
That's that puzzle solved.
You don't need that string
anymore, Max.
Let me take it off
your finger for you.
String.
You mean finishing
your jigsaw puzzle,
isn't what you wanted
to remember?
What else can it be?
Hmm.
Maybe there's something
upstairs you have
to remember.
I see you remembered to brush
your teeth, Max.
Ooh! But you didn't remember
to put the top back
on the toothpaste tube,
or clean your toothbrush
and put it back in its holder.
Is that it, Max?
String.
Hmm.
What you want to remember
must be in your bedroom.
Aha!
This room is a big mess.
I think someone wanted
to remember to clean
all this up.
Don't forget to fold
your pajamas, Max.
Remember to put all your toys
neatly on the bed
so they're right where
you need them at bed time.
Books go back
on the bookshelf.
Smelly socks go
in the laundry hamper.
As quickly as possible.
Phew!
It's a good thing
we remembered to do that.
You can untie
that string, Max.
All the chores you needed
to remember are done.
String!
You mean remembering
to do your chores
isn't why you tied that string
around your finger?
This is no time
for games, Max.
I have to help you remember.
It might be something important.
Aha!
That string must be
to remind you to feed your ants.
Back to the ant farm.
Quick, march.
Ants can't resist
this special ant food.
To ants this food tastes like
chocolate cake with raspberry
fluff icing.
You can take that string
off your finger now, Max.
You remembered to feed
your ants.
String!
I could use some chocolate
cake with raspberry fluff icing
right about now too.
Mmm Grandma's famous
chocolate cake,
and a glass of milk.
Maybe that's what you wanted
to remember, Max,
to have a snack.
You can take off the string now,
Max, we've solved the mystery.
String!
How can you think about toys
at a time like this, Max?
I'm trying to help
you remember
why you tied that string
around your finger.
It isn't grandma's birthday.
You don't have any overdue
Library books,
and you remembered
to brush your teeth.
I finished
your jigsaw puzzle,
cleaned up your room,
rescued your ant farm,
and made you a snack.
I've done all your chores.
There's nothing left
to remember.
I wish I knew
what that string was for.
I don't know why you want
to play with that yo-yo, Max.
It doesn't even have a
String!
Ha ha ha, Max!
[Max reading]
[bell ringing]
Candy
No, Max.
We're not here
to eat candy,
We're here
to help sell it.
And not a moment too soon.
Hi, Ruby.
Hi, Max.
[both]
Hi, Candi.
Thanks for helping me earn
my Bunny Scout career badge.
I can't wait to learn
all about running
a candy store.
Well, you're going
to learn a lot today.
I just received a shipment
of new candies,
and you're going
to design the display.
I am?
This is going
to be great,
isn't it, Max?
Candy.
No, Max, no eating.
I think you have
the best job
in the whole world.
Yes, I have to admit,
it's a pretty sweet job.
What do you
want me to do?
You can come
to the back
of the store
and get more candies
for display.
Max, you can't
eat candy,
But I have a special snack
for you, all right?
Grapes.
They're good for you,
and tasty, too.
What do I need to know to be
a good candy store owner, Candi?
Know your product.
You can't sell your customers
something unless you know
it's good.
You mean it's all right for
me to taste all your candies?
All right?
It's your job.
Now I'm positive you have the
best job in the world.
I'll take these
to the front.
Candi says it's my job to know
what all the candies taste like.
Mmm.
Lemony good with just enough
sweetness to make it yummy.
Candy.
No, Max, I'm not eating
this candy for fun,
I'm doing my job.
Are the grapes all gone?
All right, I guess it's okay
if you have one candy.
Mmm.
Max, if you're still hungry
you can have these cherries.
You'll get sick
if all you eat
is candy.
Hmm.
There, that's better.
I'm going to get some more
candies to put on display.
I'll be right back.
You eat your cherries, Max.
I put the lemon yums
on the right side
of the counter.
Is that okay, Candi?
Right sounds
just right to me.
See what you can do with
these little sweethearts.
Candy.
Max, you need
to eat healthy foods
like fruit.
Here, have these orange slices.
They're juicy and sweet.
Choco-strawberry bubbles.
I wonder if they're
as good as they sound.
It's my job to find out.
Mmm.
Bursting with strawberry flavor
and wrapped in an extra
chocolaty chocolate coating.
I think I'm getting the hang
of this candy store business.
How's my new worker
working out?
Just fine, Candi.
Goody gumdrops, as we
candy-store owners
like to say.
Ready for some more?
Ready as
Brownies in the oven.
That's a good one.
I'll have to remember that.
Candy!
No, Max.
I don't want you
to get sick.
Here, eat some strawberries
while I decide where
to put these candies.
Raspberry sparkles,
cherry sweetheart cremes,
and orange dreamboats.
It all sounds so scrumptious!
I'll have to try
each one of them.
First, the raspberry sparkles.
Mmm.
Mouth-sparklingly delicious.
Next I'll try the cherry
sweetheart cremes.
Mmm They melt
in your mouth.
And the orange dreamboats
Are too heavenly
to describe!
I think I should put the
most delicious one out front,
but which one is the
most delicious?
I'll have to try each
of them again.
Mmm.
Definitely the
choco-strawberry bubbles.
Phew, I'm feeling
a little funny.
One more box
and that's it, Ruby.
All right, Candi.
I had no idea owning a candy
store was so much work.
It's true, but I wouldn't
switch jobs for all
the bees' honey.
Triple fudge
marshmallow clouds?
They sound luscious.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
They're three times as luscious
as regular marshmallow clouds.
Oh, my. Now that's
a honey of a display.
What a wonderful idea
to use real fruit.
Real fruit?
Max!
As a thank you,
I'd like you to choose
whatever treat you want.
Thanks, but I
I don't feel very well.
I think I had too much
Too much
Too much what, Ruby?
Candy!
