I love that sound.

It's the sound of fun.

The best kind is with a friend.

Can you catch this, Karl?

Hey, Koo, wanna play a bouncing game I made up?

You have to make a trick shot into the box.

Like this. See?

Don't forget, it has to bounce on the ground first.

[grunts]

[laughing] Oh, no. That's too high.

[laughs] Whoo! [laughs]

Amazing, Koo. You got a lucky shot.

That's just another lucky shot.

I'm tired of playing trick shot.

Come look at this, Koo. I'm really good at this game.

You are very good. How much practice does it take?

I have never played.

Well, you made that superhard trick shot, and you never played that game.

Uh-oh. Down the hole.

Want another try?

Hey, where you going?

Now, I'll pick a game. Watch me do a somersault. Then you can try too.

[groans, sighs]

Okay, you're better at somersaults.

Let's see who can swing higher.

One, two, three, go!

[laughing] Yeah! Whoo!

[strains, sighs]

[laughing] Whoo! Yeah! [laughs]

[growls]

[wind whistling]

You blinked! That means I win the staring contest.

Mmm. Uh. [stammers] Wait. I think I got it. [grunts]

I can see you try,

but that is not a crane, Karl. They should look like this.

Fine, you're the winner. But my plane can fly better than your crane can.

I won that one.

Yes, you did, Karl.

But how are you at hopping? Let's see who is best.

It's going to be me.

Stillwater! Stillwater!

Oops. [laughs]

Stillwater, look at me and Koo for a second.

One moment, please. [sighs]

Good afternoon, Koo and Karl. Thank you for your patience.

What is that, Stillwater?

This is a Kendama. A type of toy from Japan.

The object is to catch the little ball on the string here

with either one of the cups.

Or on the kensaki, this spike.

As you can see, it takes a lot of skill and practice.

Can Koo and I try the Kendama?

A new challenge, Karl.

Do you think you'd be better? I'd like you to try.

Yeah? I will! And I won't just be better,

I'll- [stammers] I'll be the best.

Oh, you think that's so?

You weren't the best at Hula, and I'm still hopping.

I am too.

I'm noticing you seem to be having a competition.

You have to tell us who's best at hopping, Stillwater.

Hmm, and this is important to you?

[Karl, Koo] Yes!

I wonder if I may tell you a story instead?

My leg's tired.

My leg's tired too.

We can call this round a tie? Let's take a break now.

Have I ever told you about the lion and the cheetah?

No.

[laughs] I have a feeling you both will relate to this story.

It takes place on the plains of Africa.

Every day, two friends, a lion cub and a cheetah cub

would fetch water from a stream.

Then they would play together.

Hey, pass me the ball.

[Stillwater] Until one day the lion cub found he had a new talent.

[roars]

Wow, you roared. That's so cool.

You think so? Can you roar?

Uh, I'm practicing my roar too.

[inhales, meows]

[laughs] You call that a roar?

I said I was practicing.

[roaring]

Hey, Lion, wanna race to that tree and back? Bet I can run faster.

Ready. Go!

[laughs] Beat you. [laughing]

Hey, I told you I would be faster than you. [chuckles] I won. [laughs]

[Stillwater] Soon, every day was the same.

[cheetah cub] I can run faster.

[lion cub] I can roar louder. [roars]

[Karl] Didn't they play together anymore?

[Stillwater] No, Karl. Now it seemed every time they crossed paths,

they felt the need to show each other who was best.

Day after day, year after year, they still wanted to prove who was better.

[roars]

[cheetah] I can run faster.

[Stillwater] Nothing ever changed for these two.

Until one of them had enough.

[roars]

You know what, Lion? I will never roar louder than you.

[scoffs] 'Course not.

And that's okay.

Oh, it- it is?

Yes, because that's something you do. And you do it really well.

I can still run really fast.

Well, you do run faster than me.

[laughs] Much faster.

Mmm. Thank you, Lion.

I miss when we played together as cubs.

Yes, until we were more concerned about who was better.

You know, it's still not too late. How about a game?

As long as we don't keep score. [laughs]

[lion] Good pass.

[cheetah laughs] Look at your fancy footwork.

- Come on now. [chuckles] - [lion grunts, chuckles]

The lion and the cheetah

spent a lot of time trying to show who was best

instead of having fun together.

Are we doing that? [sighs]

Always competing isn't fun, playing with you is.

Competition can be fun, and so can celebrating the talents of others.

We should do that, Koo. We should celebrate all the things we can do.

I know what to do. We can have a talent show. Won't that be fun, Karl?

Yeah!

Thank you, thank you, pandas and cats for coming to Karl and Koo's talent show!

First is Koo and her amazing magic!

As you can see here, the box is very empty.

Now watch me closely.

Wow!

Ooh! Well done, Koo.

Get ready to laugh.

Comedy Karl and Mu Mu, they're coming up next.

[laughs]

[as Mu Mu] Hey, Karl, where do cows go to have fun on the weekend?

I don't know, Mu Mu. Where?

[as Mu Mu] They go to the moo-vies.

[laughs]

[giggles]

Wow!

Whoa, but where did Mu Mu go?

Amazing! Did you see that, Jasper?

[purrs, meows]

But wait, we have one more act!

[laughs] Uncle Stillwater, you have a cool talent too.

Come up and show us.

Oh, I suppose it's my turn.

- Wow! - Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Oh. Ah. [grunts]

- Whoa! - Whoo! Whoo!

- Wow. Whoo! - Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

- Whoa! - Awesome!

[Jasper meows]

This is my favorite time of year. I love everything about it.

Pumpkin patches, pumpkin carving...

[inhales deeply] ...pumpkin bread baking in the oven.

The taste of pumpkin bread going in my mouth. Mmm.

[chuckles] I like eating pumpkin bread too, Karl.

What's your favorite thing about fall, Michael?

The changing of the leaves.

Did you know it's caused by having shorter days and changes in temperature?

That makes the green go away, and we get to see the other colors.

Red, orange, brown,

yellow-brown and orange-brown, and red.

[chuckles] That's a lot of colors, Karl.

That's because there's a lot of leaves.

[Michael] Whoa. That is a lot of leaves.

It looks like Mr. Morgan hasn't been able to rake his yard.

Well, raking leaves is a lot of work. Especially for Mr. Morgan.

Hey, kids.

[children] Hi, Mr. Morgan.

I know! We can help Mr. Morgan by raking the leaves off his lawn.

That's a great idea, Michael.

I bet Stillwater has rakes in the shed we can borrow.

- We'll be back in a minute, Mr. Morgan. - Okay, kids.

[chuckles] I wonder what they're up to now.

[bird chirping]

[chuckles] Welcome.

Hi, Stillwater. Do you have any rakes we can borrow?

And a green bin?

For all the leaves.

[chuckles] It sounds like you have a plan in mind.

We're going to rake all the leaves in Mr. Morgan's yard. He's got this many.

What a kind thing to do. May I help?

We'd love that. The more, the merrier.

Let's go!

You're back.

Just like we said.

Hello, Mr. Morgan.

We're going to rake your yard.

You are?

If it's okay with you.

Well, [sighs] let me think about that. Hmm.

We'll make sure there's not a single leaf left on the ground.

Are you sure? There are a lot of leaves out there.

[Karl] We know. That's why we want to help you.

[Mr. Morgan] That sounds wonderful.

[Karl] Yay!

[laughs] And while you're raking,

I'm gonna make pumpkin bread for when you're ready to take a break.

- Really? - All right!

We were just talking about pumpkin bread.

[laughs] Then, uh, I better get started.

[Michael] Hmm. This is gonna be a lot of work.

Why don't we each take a part of the yard?

Karl and Stillwater can do the left side,

Addy and I can do the right side.

I'm gonna split my section up into rows and rake one row at a time.

I think I'll just make one gigantic pile.

Sure. Everyone can do it their own way.

Leaf plane. [imitating airplane]

[humming, chuckles]

[Karl imitating airplane]

You sure have a big pile of leaves there.

It's perfect for jumping, isn't it?

Can we?

[chuckles] That's the best part.

- Whoo! Whoo! [laughs] - [chuckles]

That does look tempting.

- Whoo! Yeah! Whoo! [chuckles] - Ooh. [chuckling]

[chuckles]

Come on in, Michael.

As long as we put the pile back when we're done. Incoming!

[children laughing]

Look at that. Not a single leaf left. All we have to do is put them in the bin.

Well, after all your hard work, I'd say it's about time for a break. And a treat.

- Thanks, Mr. Morgan. - Pumpkin bread.

Mmm. This is so good.

Yeah. Thanks, Mr. Morgan.

Thank you, Michael.

It would have taken me the rest of the fall to rake all those leaves by myself.

Hmm. [chuckles]

[wind whistling]

Uh-oh. It's getting a little windy.

Oh, no. The leaves are going everywhere.

We have to keep the leaves down. Come on.

[Karl] Turn off the wind!

Grab that one, Karl.

Come back, leaf.

I'm not having much better luck myself.

Just try to get the leaves to stay in the pile.

They're coming down from the trees too.

Oh, my.

I don't believe it. It looks like we didn't do anything.

We're sorry, Mr. Morgan.

We promised there wouldn't be a single leaf, but now they're everywhere again.

We worked so hard, but it's like it didn't even matter.

Well, on the bright side, I have more warm pumpkin bread.

And I have a story.

Those are two things we all like.

[Stillwater] Every fall, as soon as the weather started getting cold,

Farmer Zhu would begin plowing his field.

The job was a lot of hard work.

What do we do now, Papa?

We plant the seeds, Qui.

[Stillwater] But Farmer Zhu never complained

because he was growing food for the village.

The wheat they were planting would turn into

delicious bread for everyone to enjoy.

[sighs] That was a hard day's work. What do we do now, Papa?

[Zhu] We water the seeds.

Finally, we are finished. What do we do now, Papa?

We wait.

[Stillwater] Fall turned to winter.

Winter turned to spring.

And with the warm weather, the wheat grew and grew.

It took many months of hard work to grow this field.

What do we do now, Papa?

Tomorrow we will harvest.

[Stillwater] But that night, there was a late frost.

- [wind whistling] - [ice crackling]

The cold weather that came last night has ruined all of the crops.

I'm afraid we won't have any wheat this year.

But we plowed the field. We planted the seeds.

We watered and waited and now, all that work for nothing?

It is not for nothing, my son. This wheat will enrich the soil for our new crop.

A new crop?

Of course.

There will always be fields to plant and food to grow for our village.

What do we do now, Papa?

We begin again.

Farmer Zhu did all that work,

but he couldn't stop the frost from destroying the crops.

Is that like how we can't turn off the wind?

Just like that, Karl.

The only thing we can control is how we react to things that happen.

Farmer Zhu said there will always be seeds to plant.

And there will always be leaves to rake.

Some things just need to be done again and again.

Like picking up our toys?

And brushing our teeth.

And making our beds.

And it appears there's something I need to do again too:

slice some more pumpkin bread.

[all laugh]

You know, it still was a good day. I like the raking system I came up with.

I got to jump in the biggest pile of leaves ever.

And we got pumpkin bread and a story.

I sure appreciate your kindness.

Even if we didn't get all the leaves?

Even if you didn't get all of the leaves.

It was nice having you over to visit.

I'll be right back.

[chuckles] There will always be leaves to rake.

Very true.

What do we do now?

We begin again.

[Karl] I'm going to be a bulldozer this time.

- [chuckling] - Bulldozer Karl coming through! [laughs]

[Mr. Morgan] Hey, guys, watch out for that bulldozer.

[all laughing]

["Never Ending Dream" playing]

[singer] ? With our spirits We were floating through the trees ?

? Like creatures, we were soaring high Blowing off some steam ?

? Or a mountain And its effervescent green ?

? A never-ending dream ?

? I found a little bit of honey ?

? And now I'm a little sweeter inside ?

[singing in Japanese]

? It's just a little bit funny ?

? But now I have the world on my side ?

[singing in Japanese]

[song fades]
