WE THINK SOMEONE

WE DO?
WE DO?
REALLY?
WE DON'’T REALLY KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO IT,
BUT IT'’S GONE.
WOW, A MYSTERY!
DETECTIVE MIKE COULD
FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
WHO'’S
DETECTIVE MIKE?
OH, HE'’S THIS REALLY COOL
GUY IN THIS BOOK SERIES
WHO SOLVES ALL KINDS
OF MYSTERIES.
COME ON, I'’LL SHOW YOU
WHAT I MEAN.
DETECTIVE MIKE
CAN SOLVE
ANY MYSTERY
IN THE WORLD.
All: WOW.
DO YOU THINK
HE COULD FIGURE OU
WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE MERRY-GO-ROUND?
WELL, HE'’S NOT REAL.
BUT I BET HIS BOOKS
COULD TEACH US
HOW TO FIGURE
IT OUT.
THE FIRST THING
DETECTIVE MIKE
USUALLY DOES
IS A STAKEOUT.
"STAKEOUT"? MMM.
I LOVE STEAK!
MMM. ME, TOO.
MMM-MM. ME, TOO.
LET'’S DO A STAKEOUT.
HOLD IT, EVERYONE!
WHAT?WHAT?
WHAT?
A "STAKEOUT"
DOESN'’T MEAN
YOU GET TO EA
STEAK.
OH.OH.
OH.
IT MEANS
YOU HIDE
NEAR THE SCENE
OF THE MYSTERY
AND WAIT TO SEE
WHO SHOWS UP.
OH
OH
OH
BUT WHAT IF
NO ONE SHOWS UP?
THEN WHAT DO YOU EAT?
I THINK WE BETTER
PACK A LUNCH.
GUYS, FORGE
THE FOOD!
THE IMPORTAN
THING
IS TO JUS
BE THERE
IN CASE SOMEONE
SHOWS UP.
COME ON!
LET'’S GO TO
THE PLAYGROUND.
RIGHT!OK!
GREAT!
OK, DETECTIVE CLEO,
YOU HIDE INSIDE THE SLIDE.
I'’LL BE IN THE BUSHES.
AND DETECTIVE CLIFFORD
UH, CLIFFORD? WHERE ARE YOU?
HERE I AM.
HA! THAT'’S A GREA
HIDING PLACE.
NOW, WHERE'’S
DETECTIVE T-BONE?
HERE HE COMES.
WHAT'’S IN THE SACK, T-BONE?
SNACKS--JUST IN CASE.
Charley: BYE!
SEE YOU LATER!
HIDE!
WOW, THEY TOOK
THE MERRY-GO-ROUND ALREADY.
[GASPS]
[CHOMPING]
[LAUGHS]
[MUTTERING]
WHOA--OOH!
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
CHARLEY SAID, "THEYTOOK
THE MERRY-GO-ROUND ALREADY."
I THINK HE KNOWS
WHO "THEY" ARE!
I DIDN'’T HEAR HIM
SAY ANYTHING.
DID YOU, CLIFFORD?
NO. I WAS TOO FAR AWAY.
HOW ABOUT YOU, T-BONE?
SORRY. I ONLY HEARD
CHEWING SOUNDS.
WELL, IHEARD HIM.
WE BELIEVE YOU, CLEO.
WE JUST DON'’T KNOW
WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
WELL, LET'’S SEE
WHAT THE BOOK SAYS
DETECTIVE MIKE WOULD DO.
HUH?
IT LOOKS LIKE DETECTIVE MIKE
IS FOLLOWING THAT GUY.
[MUTTERS]
RIGHT.
HE'’S TAILING HIM.
HEY, I'’VE GOT A TAIL!
ME, TOO!
ME, TOO!
NO, NOT THA
KIND OF TAIL.
"TAILING" MEANS YOU
FOLLOW SOMEONE--
WITHOUT BEING SEEN.
OH.
OH.
OH.
WELL, GREAT!
SO LET'’S START TAILING
CHARLEY. COME ON!
UH, I THINK
I BETTER STAY HERE
AND STAKEOU
SOME MORE, GUYS--
JUST IN CASE.
GOOD IDEA, T-BONE--
JUST IN CASE.
ALL RIGHT
HEY, LOOK, HE'’S GOING
INTO THE SEASHELL SHOP.
OK, HE'’S GONE INSIDE.
THIS IS THE TIME
WHEN DETECTIVE MIKE
WOULD DO SOME
INVESTIGATING.
WHAT'’S
"INVESTIGATING"?
THAT'’S WHEN YOU LOOK A
SOMETHING VERY CLOSELY.
SO WHY DON'’T YOU GO
AND LOOK CLOSELY
AT WHAT'’S IN
CHARLEY'’S CRATE.
RIGHT!
[YELLS]
CRABS.
CRABS.
[CHUCKLES]
LOOKS LIKE CURIOSITY
GOT THE BEST OF YOU
THIS TIME, CLEO.
I WAS JUST TAKING THESE CRABS
OVER TO MY DAD'’S RESTAURANT.
SEE YOU LATER.
I DON'’T THINK THOSE CRABS
HAD ANYTHING TO DO
WITH THE MISSING
MERRY-GO-ROUND.
LET'’S HEAD BACK
TO THE PARK TO SEE
HOW DETECTIVE T-BONE'’S
STAKEOUT IS GOING.
[ALL GASP]
Clifford:
NOW ALL THE PLAYGROUND
EQUIPMENT IS MISSING.
K.C.: GOOD THING
DETECTIVE T-BONE WAS HERE.
HE CAN TELL US
WHAT HAPPENED.
I DON'’T THINK SO.
[SNORING]
T-BONE! T-BONE,
WE'’RE BACK.
WHA? WHO? HUH?
DID YOU SEE ANYTHING,
T-BONE?
HEY, WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE PLAYGROUND?
I GUESS NOT.
DID YOU SEE ANYTHING
AT ALL SUSPICIOUS, "T"?
I--I DON'’T THINK SO.
OK, THEN. LET'’S LOOK
IN THE BOOK AND SEE
WHAT DETECTIVE MIKE
WOULD DO NEXT.
Cleo: LOOKS LIKE
HE'’S GOING TO FOLLOW
SOME TRACKS.
HERE'’S SOME TRACKS.
I BET FOLLOWING THESE
WILL GIVE US SOME ANSWERS.
[SNIFFING]
[MUTTERING]
HEY, CAREFUL.
LOOKS LIKE
THE TRACKS STOP HERE.
HEY, DOESN'’T THAT TRUCK
BELONG TO YOUR HUMAN BRUNO?
IT ISBRUNO'’S TRUCK!
WHOA, QUICK,
HIDE, YOU GUYS!
LOOK OUT!
TAKE COVER!
K.C.: WHAT IS
BRUNO DOING?
[CAR HONKS]
LOOK!
OH, MY GOSH!
SHERIFF LEWIS!
GOSH,
I CAN'’T BELIEVE
BRUNO WOULD TAKE
THE PLAYGROUND
EQUIPMENT.
OR SHERIFF LEWIS,
EITHER!
THERE'’S GOT TO BE
MORE TO IT.
OH, WHAT WOULD
DETECTIVE MIKE DO
IN A CASE LIKE THIS?
Clifford: IT LOOKS
LIKE HE'’S LISTENING
THROUGH THE WALL
WITH THAT GLASS.
K.C.: WE DON'’T HAVE ANY
GLASS TO LISTEN WITH.
I KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO.
Bruno: WELL, SHERIFF LEWIS,
I REALLY THINK FOLKS
ARE GOING TO LIKE
THE NEW COLOR
I'’M GOING TO PAIN
THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT.
I KNOW THE KIDS
WILL LIKE IT.
DID YOU HEAR THAT,
GUYS?
BRUNO IS PAINTING
THE EQUIPMENT.
Bruno: WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO TAKE ALL THIS
BACK TO THE PLAYGROUND
BY TOMORROW.
AND SHERIFF LEWIS
IS HELPING HIM.
SO THAT'’S WHAT'’S
GOING ON.
I KNEW NO ONE AROUND HERE
WOULD STEAL ANYTHING.
ISN'’T THIS GREAT,
DETECTIVE K.C.?
BRUNO IS JUST PAINTING
THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT.
WOW! YOU'’RE RIGHT.
WE DIDSOLVE
A MYSTERY--
JUST LIKE
DETECTIVE MIKE.
THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING
MERRY-GO-ROUND!
[HOWLING]
Emily Elizabeth: CLIFFORD!
IT'’S STORY TIME!
YOU WANT TO HEAR
A SPECKLE STORY, DON'’T YOU?
WOOF! WOOF!
I THOUGHT SO.
HE'’S YOUR FAVORITE.
TODAY'’S STORY IS "SPECKLE
AND THE CAMPING TRIP."
SPECKLE AND HIS FRIENDS
WERE EXCITED TO BE GOING
ON THEIR VERY FIRS
CAMPING TRIP.
WITH EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED
BUNDLED SNUGLY
IN THEIR BACKPACKS,
OFF THEY WENT IN SEARCH OF
THE PERFECT SPOT TO SET UP CAMP.
SOON THEY FOUND
A WONDERFUL PLACE,
AND SINCE THERE WAS
LOTS TO DO BEFORE NIGHTFALL,
EVERYONE AGREED TO TAKE ON
AN IMPORTANT JOB.
WORKING TOGETHER, SPECKLE
AND REBA SET UP THE TENTS.
RAVI CLEARED THE CAMPGROUND
OF ANY TWIGS OR BRANCHES.
AND LUNA AND DARNELL PREPARED
A SPECIAL CAMPING TREAT:
S'’MORES!
AS THE SUN WENT DOWN,
THEY GATHERED
AROUND THEIR LANTERN,
SHARING STORIES AND ENJOYING
THEIR WONDERFUL ADVENTURE
IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS--
RIGHT IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD.
THE END.
THAT WAS A GREAT STORY.
ISN'’T READING FUN?
WOOF!
[LAUGHS]
[BARKS]
[SHOUTS OF JOY]
I JUST DON'’
GET IT, MAC.
WHY WOULD ANYONE WAN
TO GO CAMPING ON PURPOSE?
I MEAN, IT WAS NICE
OF EMILY ELIZABETH
TO INVITE US AND ALL,
BUT I'’M REALLY GOING TO MISS
THE COMFORTS OF HOME.
[STRUGGLING]
[BARKS]
OH, WELL, COME ON, MACKIE.
AT LEAST WE CAN TRY
TO MAKE OURSELVES COMFORTABLE.
[STRUGGLING]
LET'’S HURRY AND GE
THIS TENT SET UP.
THEN WE CAN GO
FOR A HIKE.
SOUNDS COOL TO ME.
I LOVE HIKING.
IT WAS SO GREA
OF YOUR PARENTS
TO TAKE US ALL CAMPING,
EMILY ELIZABETH.
OUR WHOLE FAMILY
LOVES TO CAMP--
EVEN CLIFFORD.
[CURIOUS WHINES]
[LAUGHING]
I THINK WE'’LL
HAVE TO FIND YOU
SOMEPLACE ELSE
TO SLEEP TONIGHT, BOY.
WOOF!
[LAUGHING]
AH, YOUR TEN
LOOKS GREAT, GIRLS.
BUT WHERE'’S JETTA?
SHE'’S NOT SLEEPING
WITH US, DAD.
SHE BROUGHT HER
OWN SPECIAL TEN
TO STAY IN--SEE?
WELL, UH,
THAT'’S QUITE A TENT.
LET'’S GO OVER
AND SEE IF JETTA
NEEDS ANY HELP,
EMILY ELIZABETH.
OK.
Mary: JETTA,
ARE YOU THERE?
OH, HI, GUYS!
NEED ANY HELP?
SURE. YOU CAN HELP ME
HOOK UP MY VCR.
VCR?
VCR?
I GOT MY COMPUTER
HOOKED UP,
AND THE BATTERY PACK
IS WORKING GREAT,
BUT I JUST CAN'’T SEEM
TO GET THE VCR WORKING.
WOW, JETTA.
THIS LOOKS JUST LIKE
YOUR ROOM AT HOME.
I FIGURED SINCE WE'’RE
GOING TO BE WAY OUT HERE
IN THE WILDERNESS,
I BETTER BRING ALONG SOME
INTERESTING STUFF TO DO.
BUT THERE ARE LOTS OF
INTERESTING THINGS TO DO
IN THE WOODS, JETTA.
AND NONE OF THEM
NEED ELECTRICITY.
COME ON, KIDS.
WHY DON'’T WE ALL HIKE
DOWN TO THE WATERFALL?
GREAT!
OK!
I'’LL BE RIGHT THERE.
I JUST HAVE TO FIND MY SCOOTER.
THIS MAP SAYS
THE WATERFALL
IS AT THE END
OF THE TRAIL.
[KNOCKING]
LISTEN.
I HEAR A WOODPECKER.
[BIRDS CHIRP]
I CAN HEAR
A MOCKINGBIRD.
[MOTOR RUNS]
WHAT'’S THATNOISE?
IT'’S JETTA.
HI, GUYS.
SEE YOU AT THE WATERFALL!
LOOK! A FAMILY
OF RACCOONS!
RACCOONS? WHERE? WHERE?
JETTA, WATCH
WHERE YOU'’RE GOING!
[JETTA YELLS]
[MOTOR STOPS]
THIS IS REALLY NICE!
YEP. IT SURE IS
PRETTY UP HERE.
AND IT'’S SO QUIET.
YES! I MADE I
TO LEVEL 20!
[CHEERING]
[SIGHING]
WE SHOULD PROBABLY
GET GOING SOON,
EVERYONE.
OH, MY! LOOK, MARK!
THOSE ARE EASTERN-TAILED
BLUE BUTTERFLIES.
I'’VE NEVER SEEN ONE
SO CLOSE UP BEFORE.
LOOK! THERE'’S
A WHOLE FLOCK OF THEM!
WOW.
WOW.
[WHISPERING]
Jetta, you'’re missing it.
NO, I'’M NOT.
I'’M PRACTICALLY
AT LEVEL 21.
JETTA, YOU JUS
HAVE TO LOOK.
WOW!
Jetta, you have
to see this.
AHOO!
I DID IT! YES!
DID YOU SEE,
EMILY ELIZABETH?
DID YOU SEE
WHAT I DID ON MY GAME?
JETTA, I SEE YOU
PLAYING YOUR VIDEO GAME
ALL THE TIME!
BUT I'’VE NEVER SEEN
SO MANY BUTTERFLIES,
AND NOW YOU'’VE
SCARED THEM AWAY.
HUH? BUT I--
COME ON, GIRLS.
LET'’S GET MOVING.
THE WATERFALL
SHOULD BE JUST AHEAD.
OK, DAD.
DID I MISS SOMETHING?
[MUSIC PLAYS IN HEADPHONES]
[WATER FLOWS]
HEY, EVERYONE! I THINK
I HEAR THE WATERFALL!
WHOA!
COOL!
WOW!
COME ON, CLIFFORD!
LET'’S HURRY!
[LAUGHING AND BARKING]
OOH-OOH
[SQUEALS]
WAIT!
[SHOUTS OF JOY]
COME ON, DEAR!
[LAUGHING]
[SOUNDS OF FRIGHT]
[LAUGHING]
Charley:
CAN'’T CATCH ME!
WHERE'’S EVERYBODY GOING?
[SPLASH]
[LAUGHING]
WELL, I'’M NO
GOING TO GET IN
THAT FREEZING
COLD WATER.
NOT WHEN I HAVE
MY FULLY HEATED,
SELF-INFLATING
PORTA-POOL.
I'’M GLAD YOU DECIDED
TO COME IN AND PLAY
WITH ME, MAC.
[LAUGHING]
ME, TOO.
I THINK
MAYBE JETTA AND I
HAVE BEEN MISSING
A LOT OF FUN AROUND HERE.
[HOWLS]
[HOWLS]
AH, THE PERFEC
TEMPERATURE.
ANYONE WANT TO COME IN
MY POOL WITH ME?
ALLEY-OOP!
IT'’S HEATED.
I HAVE LOTS OF TOYS!
HEY, I CAN
FEEL THE FISH
NIBBLING MY TOES.
ME, TOO!
WELL, DON'’T JUST SIT THERE.
JUMP!
NIBBLE!
DO SOMETHING!
[SIGHS]
OH, I LOVE
COOKING OUTDOORS.
DON'’T YOU, MARK?
[SIGHING] UH-HUH.
HOW'’S YOUR COOKING
GOING, EMILY?
GREAT! CLIFFORD'’S
DOING PRETTY WELL, TOO.
RUFF!
HEY,
WHERE'’S JETTA!
ISN'’T SHE GOING
TO EAT WITH US?
SHE'’S COOKING
INSIDE TONIGHT.
[BEEP]
AH, DINNER'’S READY, MAC.
ONE FOR YOU
AND ONE FOR ME.
[WHINES]
[SNIFFS]
MAC, COME BACK AND EAT!
[SNIFFS]
IT DOES SMELL PRETTY
GOOD OUT THERE,
DOESN'’T IT?
[SNIFFS]
THE FIRE
AND THE PINE TREES
AND THE HOT DOGS.
BUT WE'’RE HAVING
A DELICIOUS DINNER
INSIDE TONIGHT, MAC.
COME ON, BOY!
[SNIFFS]
[WHINES]
WOW! LOOK A
ALL THOSE STARS!
Charley: IT'’S HARD
TO SEE THEM ALL
WHEN WE'’RE AT HOME,
BUT OUT HERE, IT SEEMS
LIKE YOU CAN SEE FOREVER.
I WISH JETTA
WOULD COME JOIN US.
SHE'’S INSIDE
WATCHING A VIDEO.
MAYBE SHE'’LL
COME OUT LATER.
I HOPE SO.
[TV PLAYS]
WOW, THAT'’S PRETTY AMAZING,
ISN'’T IT, MAC?
I'’VE NEVER SEEN A SKY
LIKE THAT IN OUR BACKYARD.
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE
WAS AMAZING, MAC?
THAT WATERFALL.
I KIND OF WISH I'’D
STOOD UNDERNEATH I
LIKE VAZ AND CHARLEY DID.
MAYBE THIS CAMPING THING
ISN'’T SO BAD AFTER ALL, HUH?
[WHINES]
AWWHAT IS IT?
DO YOU WANT TO GO OU
AND BE WITH EVERYONE ELSE?
RUFF!
WELLOK, BOY.
IF YOUREALLY WANT TO,
I GUESS I COULD
GO OUT WITH YOU.
[PLAYS]
DID YOU SEE THAT,
EMILY ELIZABETH?
THAT WAS
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
IT SURE WAS.
THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME
CAMPING, EMILY ELIZABETH.
YOU'’RE WELCOME, JETTA.
IGOTCHA!
HEY, YOU'’RE NO
MY HEDGEHOG TOY.
BUT YOU SURE ARE
A GREAT TOY!
HI, CLEO!
CLEO, YOU FOUND
MY BUNNY SQUEAK TOY!
UHMRS. DILLER
JUST BOUGH
THIS TOY FOR ME.
OH
Emily Elizabeth:
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS
LIKE MAKING UP A STORY
WILL MAKE THINGS TURN OU
THE WAY WE WANT THEM TO.
UMI DON'’T REALLY FEEL
LIKE PLAYING RIGHT NOW, GUYS.
BUT MOST OF THE TIME
IT'’S A MUCH BETTER IDEA
TO JUST TELL THE TRUTH.
T-BONE, WAIT.
THIS ISYOUR BUNNY
SQUEAK TOY, T-BONE.
BUT YOU SAID MRS. DILLER
JUST BOUGHT IT FOR YOU.
I MADE THAT UP.
THE TOY
BELONGS TO YOU.
THANKS, CLEO!
TELLING THE TRUTH
ISN'’T ALWAYS EASY
WOO-HOO!
BUT IT IS ALWAYS
THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
THAT'’S WHY CLIFFORD'’S
BIG IDEA FOR TODAY IS:
BE TRUTHFUL.
AND THIS IS CLIFFORD,
MY BIG RED DOG.

BRUNO WOULD TAKE
THE PLAYGROUND
EQUIPMENT.
OR SHERIFF LEWIS,
EITHER!
THERE'’S GOT TO BE
MORE TO IT.
OH, WHAT WOULD
DETECTIVE MIKE DO
IN A CASE LIKE THIS?
Clifford: IT LOOKS
LIKE HE'’S LISTENING
THROUGH THE WALL
WITH THAT GLASS.
K.C.: WE DON'’T HAVE ANY
GLASS TO LISTEN WITH.
I KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO.
Bruno: WELL, SHERIFF LEWIS,
I REALLY THINK FOLKS
ARE GOING TO LIKE
THE NEW COLOR
I'’M GOING TO PAIN
THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT.
I KNOW THE KIDS
WILL LIKE IT.
DID YOU HEAR THAT,
GUYS?
BRUNO IS PAINTING
THE EQUIPMENT.
Bruno: WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO TAKE ALL THIS
BACK TO THE PLAYGROUND
BY TOMORROW.
AND SHERIFF LEWIS
IS HELPING HIM.
SO THAT'’S WHAT'’S
GOING ON.
I KNEW NO ONE AROUND HERE
WOULD STEAL ANYTHING.
ISN'’T THIS GREAT,
DETECTIVE K.C.?
BRUNO IS JUST PAINTING
THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT.
WOW! YOU'’RE RIGHT.
WE DIDSOLVE
A MYSTERY--
JUST LIKE
DETECTIVE MIKE.
THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING
MERRY-GO-ROUND!
[HOWLING]
Emily Elizabeth: CLIFFORD!
IT'’S STORY TIME!
YOU WANT TO HEAR
A SPECKLE STORY, DON'’T YOU?
WOOF! WOOF!
I THOUGHT SO.
HE'’S YOUR FAVORITE.
TODAY'’S STORY IS "SPECKLE
AND THE CAMPING TRIP."
SPECKLE AND HIS FRIENDS
WERE EXCITED TO BE GOING
ON THEIR VERY FIRS
CAMPING TRIP.
WITH EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED
BUNDLED SNUGLY
IN THEIR BACKPACKS,
OFF THEY WENT IN SEARCH OF
THE PERFECT SPOT TO SET UP CAMP.
SOON THEY FOUND
A WONDERFUL PLACE,
AND SINCE THERE WAS
LOTS TO DO BEFORE NIGHTFALL,
EVERYONE AGREED TO TAKE ON
AN IMPORTANT JOB.
WORKING TOGETHER, SPECKLE
AND REBA SET UP THE TENTS.
RAVI CLEARED THE CAMPGROUND
OF ANY TWIGS OR BRANCHES.
AND LUNA AND DARNELL PREPARED
A SPECIAL CAMPING TREAT:
S'’MORES!
AS THE SUN WENT DOWN,
THEY GATHERED
AROUND THEIR LANTERN,
SHARING STORIES AND ENJOYING
THEIR WONDERFUL ADVENTURE
IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS--
RIGHT IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD.
THE END.
THAT WAS A GREAT STORY.
ISN'’T READING FUN?
WOOF!
[LAUGHS]
[BARKS]
[SHOUTS OF JOY]
I JUST DON'’
GET IT, MAC.
WHY WOULD ANYONE WAN
TO GO CAMPING ON PURPOSE?
I MEAN, IT WAS NICE
OF EMILY ELIZABETH
TO INVITE US AND ALL,
BUT I'’M REALLY GOING TO MISS
THE COMFORTS OF HOME.
[STRUGGLING]
[BARKS]
OH, WELL, COME ON, MACKIE.
AT LEAST WE CAN TRY
TO MAKE OURSELVES COMFORTABLE.
[STRUGGLING]
LET'’S HURRY AND GE
THIS TENT SET UP.
THEN WE CAN GO
FOR A HIKE.
SOUNDS COOL TO ME.
I LOVE HIKING.
IT WAS SO GREA
OF YOUR PARENTS
TO TAKE US ALL CAMPING,
EMILY ELIZABETH.
OUR WHOLE FAMILY
LOVES TO CAMP--
EVEN CLIFFORD.
[CURIOUS WHINES]
[LAUGHING]
I THINK WE'’LL
HAVE TO FIND YOU
SOMEPLACE ELSE
TO SLEEP TONIGHT, BOY.
WOOF!
[LAUGHING]
AH, YOUR TEN
LOOKS GREAT, GIRLS.
BUT WHERE'’S JETTA?
SHE'’S NOT SLEEPING
WITH US, DAD.
SHE BROUGHT HER
OWN SPECIAL TEN
TO STAY IN--SEE?
WELL, UH,
THAT'’S QUITE A TENT.
LET'’S GO OVER
AND SEE IF JETTA
NEEDS ANY HELP,
EMILY ELIZABETH.
OK.
Mary: JETTA,
ARE YOU THERE?
OH, HI, GUYS!
NEED ANY HELP?
SURE. YOU CAN HELP ME
HOOK UP MY VCR.
VCR?
VCR?
I GOT MY COMPUTER
HOOKED UP,
AND THE BATTERY PACK
IS WORKING GREAT,
BUT I JUST CAN'’T SEEM
TO GET THE VCR WORKING.
WOW, JETTA.
THIS LOOKS JUST LIKE
YOUR ROOM AT HOME.
I FIGURED SINCE WE'’RE
GOING TO BE WAY OUT HERE
IN THE WILDERNESS,
I BETTER BRING ALONG SOME
INTERESTING STUFF TO DO.
BUT THERE ARE LOTS OF
INTERESTING THINGS TO DO
IN THE WOODS, JETTA.
AND NONE OF THEM
NEED ELECTRICITY.
COME ON, KIDS.
WHY DON'’T WE ALL HIKE
DOWN TO THE WATERFALL?
GREAT!
OK!
I'’LL BE RIGHT THERE.
I JUST HAVE TO FIND MY SCOOTER.
THIS MAP SAYS
THE WATERFALL
IS AT THE END
OF THE TRAIL.
[KNOCKING]
LISTEN.
I HEAR A WOODPECKER.
[BIRDS CHIRP]
I CAN HEAR
A MOCKINGBIRD.
[MOTOR RUNS]
WHAT'’S THATNOISE?
IT'’S JETTA.
HI, GUYS.
SEE YOU AT THE WATERFALL!
LOOK! A FAMILY
OF RACCOONS!
RACCOONS? WHERE? WHERE?
JETTA, WATCH
WHERE YOU'’RE GOING!
[JETTA YELLS]
[MOTOR STOPS]
THIS IS REALLY NICE!
YEP. IT SURE IS
PRETTY UP HERE.
AND IT'’S SO QUIET.
YES! I MADE I
TO LEVEL 20!
[CHEERING]
[SIGHING]
WE SHOULD PROBABLY
GET GOING SOON,
EVERYONE.
OH, MY! LOOK, MARK!
THOSE ARE EASTERN-TAILED
BLUE BUTTERFLIES.
I'’VE NEVER SEEN ONE
SO CLOSE UP BEFORE.
LOOK! THERE'’S
A WHOLE FLOCK OF THEM!
WOW.
WOW.
[WHISPERING]
Jetta, you'’re missing it.
NO, I'’M NOT.
I'’M PRACTICALLY
AT LEVEL 21.
JETTA, YOU JUS
HAVE TO LOOK.
WOW!
Jetta, you have
to see this.
AHOO!
I DID IT! YES!
DID YOU SEE,
EMILY ELIZABETH?
DID YOU SEE
WHAT I DID ON MY GAME?
JETTA, I SEE YOU
PLAYING YOUR VIDEO GAME
ALL THE TIME!
BUT I'’VE NEVER SEEN
SO MANY BUTTERFLIES,
AND NOW YOU'’VE
SCARED THEM AWAY.
HUH? BUT I--
COME ON, GIRLS.
LET'’S GET MOVING.
THE WATERFALL
SHOULD BE JUST AHEAD.
OK, DAD.
DID I MISS SOMETHING?
[MUSIC PLAYS IN HEADPHONES]
[WATER FLOWS]
HEY, EVERYONE! I THINK
I HEAR THE WATERFALL!
WHOA!
COOL!
WOW!
COME ON, CLIFFORD!
LET'’S HURRY!
[LAUGHING AND BARKING]
OOH-OOH
[SQUEALS]
WAIT!
[SHOUTS OF JOY]
COME ON, DEAR!
[LAUGHING]
[SOUNDS OF FRIGHT]
[LAUGHING]
Charley:
CAN'’T CATCH ME!
WHERE'’S EVERYBODY GOING?
[SPLASH]
[LAUGHING]
WELL, I'’M NO
GOING TO GET IN
THAT FREEZING
COLD WATER.
NOT WHEN I HAVE
MY FULLY HEATED,
SELF-INFLATING
PORTA-POOL.
I'’M GLAD YOU DECIDED
TO COME IN AND PLAY
WITH ME, MAC.
[LAUGHING]
ME, TOO.
I THINK
MAYBE JETTA AND I
HAVE BEEN MISSING
A LOT OF FUN AROUND HERE.
[HOWLS]
[HOWLS]
AH, THE PERFEC
TEMPERATURE.
ANYONE WANT TO COME IN
MY POOL WITH ME?
ALLEY-OOP!
IT'’S HEATED.
I HAVE LOTS OF TOYS!
HEY, I CAN
FEEL THE FISH
NIBBLING MY TOES.
ME, TOO!
WELL, DON'’T JUST SIT THERE.
JUMP!
NIBBLE!
DO SOMETHING!
[SIGHS]
OH, I LOVE
COOKING OUTDOORS.
DON'’T YOU, MARK?
[SIGHING] UH-HUH.
HOW'’S YOUR COOKING
GOING, EMILY?
GREAT! CLIFFORD'’S
DOING PRETTY WELL, TOO.
RUFF!
HEY,
WHERE'’S JETTA!
ISN'’T SHE GOING
TO EAT WITH US?
SHE'’S COOKING
INSIDE TONIGHT.
[BEEP]
AH, DINNER'’S READY, MAC.
ONE FOR YOU
AND ONE FOR ME.
[WHINES]
[SNIFFS]
MAC, COME BACK AND EAT!
[SNIFFS]
IT DOES SMELL PRETTY
GOOD OUT THERE,
DOESN'’T IT?
[SNIFFS]
THE FIRE
AND THE PINE TREES
AND THE HOT DOGS.
BUT WE'’RE HAVING
A DELICIOUS DINNER
INSIDE TONIGHT, MAC.
COME ON, BOY!
[SNIFFS]
[WHINES]
WOW! LOOK A
ALL THOSE STARS!
Charley: IT'’S HARD
TO SEE THEM ALL
WHEN WE'’RE AT HOME,
BUT OUT HERE, IT SEEMS
LIKE YOU CAN SEE FOREVER.
I WISH JETTA
WOULD COME JOIN US.
SHE'’S INSIDE
WATCHING A VIDEO.
MAYBE SHE'’LL
COME OUT LATER.
I HOPE SO.
[TV PLAYS]
WOW, THAT'’S PRETTY AMAZING,
ISN'’T IT, MAC?
I'’VE NEVER SEEN A SKY
LIKE THAT IN OUR BACKYARD.
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE
WAS AMAZING, MAC?
THAT WATERFALL.
I KIND OF WISH I'’D
STOOD UNDERNEATH I
LIKE VAZ AND CHARLEY DID.
MAYBE THIS CAMPING THING
ISN'’T SO BAD AFTER ALL, HUH?
[WHINES]
AWWHAT IS IT?
DO YOU WANT TO GO OU
AND BE WITH EVERYONE ELSE?
RUFF!
WELLOK, BOY.
IF YOUREALLY WANT TO,
I GUESS I COULD
GO OUT WITH YOU.
[PLAYS]
DID YOU SEE THAT,
EMILY ELIZABETH?
THAT WAS
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
IT SURE WAS.
THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME
CAMPING, EMILY ELIZABETH.
YOU'’RE WELCOME, JETTA.
IGOTCHA!
HEY, YOU'’RE NO
MY HEDGEHOG TOY.
BUT YOU SURE ARE
A GREAT TOY!
HI, CLEO!
CLEO, YOU FOUND
MY BUNNY SQUEAK TOY!
UHMRS. DILLER
JUST BOUGH
THIS TOY FOR ME.
OH
Emily Elizabeth:
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS
LIKE MAKING UP A STORY
WILL MAKE THINGS TURN OU
THE WAY WE WANT THEM TO.
UMI DON'’T REALLY FEEL
LIKE PLAYING RIGHT NOW, GUYS.
BUT MOST OF THE TIME
IT'’S A MUCH BETTER IDEA
TO JUST TELL THE TRUTH.
T-BONE, WAIT.
THIS ISYOUR BUNNY
SQUEAK TOY, T-BONE.
BUT YOU SAID MRS. DILLER
JUST BOUGHT IT FOR YOU.
I MADE THAT UP.
THE TOY
BELONGS TO YOU.
THANKS, CLEO!
TELLING THE TRUTH
ISN'’T ALWAYS EASY
WOO-HOO!
BUT IT IS ALWAYS
THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
THAT'’S WHY CLIFFORD'’S
BIG IDEA FOR TODAY IS:
BE TRUTHFUL.
