Fortunately, no one was hurt,

but some valuable exotic birdshave disappeared from the accident site.

If you have any information onthese birds, please contact this station.

[Doc] Sprocket, look.

I found this poor bird on our doorstep. He was unconscious.

[parrot squawks] Where am I? Who am I?

He must have amnesia.

Oh, how are we ever gonna find outwho he belongs to?

[barking]

Sprocket, this is no timeto listen to the radio, boy.

Sprocket, this is no timeto listen to the radio, boy.

We've got a lost bird on our hands.

-[parrot squawks, whistles]-Aw, there, there. There, there.

[Wembley humming]

-Now, Wembley, let's go over it again.-Okay.

Gobo, you've made him do thisa million times.

You can't be too carefulwhen it's your first solo overnight hike.

That's just it. It's not your first solo overnight hike.

-It's Wembley's.-Well, bye-bye!

-Ah! Now, one more time.-Okay.

What does a Fraggle takeon his first overnight hike?

Maps, pickax, change of shirt and cookies.

-[laughs]-[Gobo] Yeah, that's right.

Uh, now let's see youpack them up in your...

Backpack. I already did.

I'm all readyfor my first solo overnight hike.

Gobo, this is the most exciting thingthat's ever happened to me. Hoo-hoo!

Watch out, rock, here I come!

[shouts]

And did you remember to pack your pickax?

Don't wait up! [laughs] Don't wait up! [laughs]

[Red chuckles]

Aw.

There, there.

[Wembley shouts]

♪ A Fraggle on his ownls a wondrous sight to see ♪

♪ Especially when the FraggleHappens to be me ♪

♪ Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo ♪

[laughs] This is so much fun,

and this looks like a perfect placefor my campsite, right here.

[gasps]

I mean, right here.

Whoa! Uh... [nervous laughter]

No problem.

I won't let a little thinglike a falling rock ruin a good time.

Whoa! Uh...

I mean, I won't let a little thinglike two falling rocks ruin a good time.

Uh, oh, oh, this is no longer a good time!

[groans]

[Wembley groaning]

There, there.

Where, where? [groans]

No, no. No. No.

"There, there" is what you say to someonewhen they've been moaning like this.

Oh! Oh!

Oh, I... I think it was more like... Oh, I... I think it was more like...

Ugh! Ugh!

Well, whichever one it was, that's what you're supposed to say.

Every Mudbunny knows that.

You're... You're a Mudbunny. [moans]

Very good.

Hey. [grunts]

Are you really the rarest creaturein the universe?

Well, let me put it to you this way.

How many times have you seena Mudbunny in your life?

Uh, once?

Have you seen anything elseless than once?

Well, I don't think so.

Well, then I'm as rare as it gets.[chuckles]

-Uh, Mudwell's the name.-Oh. Wembley Fraggle.

-[groans] Whoa.-Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Easy there, little Fraggle.

You've had a nasty bump on your head.

Oh, it was... it was a rockslide.

I know. I dug you out.

Oh.

You saved my life.

Oh, there, there.

There, there. There, there.

[both chuckle]

-Here. Try some of my special soup.-Oh, thanks.

Well?

[gasps]

-Peach and pepper potage! My favorite!-Mine too! [chuckles]

I especially like this with... - Ah. Turnip toast?-Yes!

Say no more. [chuckles]

Oh, Mudwell, you know, this is the bestbump on the head I've ever had.

Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself,

but remember, you still gotta take it easy.

Oh, that's okay, because I know how tohave fun and rest at the same time.

Well, how do you do that?

Oh, well, I play games in my head.

-Want to try?-Sure.

Okay, okay. Here goes. Um...

Uh, okay, if you founda three-eyed mind melter under your bed,

what would you do?

Well, uh, I'd fill his shoes with jam, and then I'd turn his hat inside out.

Well, uh, I'd fill his shoes with jam, and then I'd turn his hat inside out.

That's right!

[laughs]

-Have you ever played this before?-Never. I swear.

This is amazing. No one besides mehas ever been able to play this game.

-Oh. Can I try?-Sure!

Um, if you looked in the mirror,

-and you saw your nose had disappeared...-Uh-huh.

-what would you do?-Oh, oh, oh. Oh.

I'd knit a blue sweaterfor the first pumpkin I saw.

-Perfect!-Yes!

[both laughing]

You know, I don't knowwhen I've had so much fun.

-Oh, you can say that again.-Okay.

You know, I don't knowwhen I've had so much fun.

[both laughing]

-You can say it again!-Okay. You know...

[moaning softly]

[groans]

Nothing like laughing yourself to sleep, is there, Mudwell?

Mudwell?

Oh.

Well, he's probably out pickingthe ingredients for another great soup.

[chuckles] [chuckles]

[sighs]

♪ Feel the water flowing ♪

[whistling]

[Mudwell] You still here?

You can say that again! [laughs]

I would've thoughtyou'd been gone hours ago.

-[chuckles]-Here, take your things and go.

-But, Mudwell... You heard me, go!

I don't understand.

There's nothing to understand.

But we were having so much fun.

Look, let me make this simple for ya,

since you seem to be havingsuch a hard time:

Leave!

Never darken my mudpuddle again.

[Sprocket barks]

[parrot] Good doggy.

[jazz music playing on radio]

[Sprocket humming]

[parrot] Huh? Oh.

Very good doggy.

[man on radio] We interruptthe musical portion of our program

to report that there is no wordon the one bird still missing

to report that there is no wordon the one bird still missing

after yesterday's mishap involvingthe pet store truck.

Well, Sprocket, how is our patientdoing today?

-[parrot] What's up, Doc?-[laughs]

Well, you're sounding a lot better.

Sprockie must be takingvery good care of you.

[parrot] Good doggy.

Aw! Isn't that cute?

He really likes you.

[barks]

You must be feeling terriblethat he's so far away from his home.

Oh, I'd better go out and put upthese "Macaw Found" posters

up around the neighborhood.

Don't worry, Sprocket. We'll soon find the owner.

[Sprocket whimpers]

-[barks]-[squawks]

Very, very good doggy.

[Sprocket whimpers]

-[chattering]-[Gobo] Oh.

Wembley should have been back by now.

Oh, Gobo, stop worrying.

Wembley's perfectly capableof taking care of himself.

Of course he is.

Why, I'll bet he's gonna comebouncing in here any second,

Why, I'll bet he's gonna comebouncing in here any second,

-just laughing about all the fun he's had.-Yeah.

-Yeah.-[Wembley sighs]

Right again, guys.

Wembley. Wembley, what... What happened? Are you all right?

-I don't wanna talk about it.-[gasps] Are you hurt? Oh.

-No.-Oh.

Oh, well, did something happen?

-Yes.-[all gasp]

[sighs]

Was it terrible?

Yes and no.

Oh, was it wonderful?

-No.-Oh.

-Yes.-Oh.

And no.

Wembley, what happened?

I said I didn't wanna talk about it.

[sighs] Wembley, this can't go on.

No matter how terrible you feel, you gotta eat.

I'm not hungry.

But... But, Wembley, I've madeyour favorite dish.

Peach and pepper potage.

[Wembley sobbing]

[Boober sighs]

-[Boober yelps]-[wailing, sobbing]

[Red, Mokey groan]

[groans]

This has gone on long enough.

I'm gonna get Wembley to tell uswhat's going on

even if I have to sit on himuntil he does.

And... And then he did the meanest thinganybody's ever done to me.

-[Red gasps]-He kicked me out.

-Oh!-[Boober] Oh.

Well, Wembley, Mudbunniesare very mysterious creatures,

and you must expect themto act in mysterious ways.

That doesn't help, Mokey.

Oh, well...

Well... Well, I sayif someone treats you badly,

you should just forget about them.

Friends don't do that to each other.[huffs]

But... But you get real mad at us, and we're still friends.

-Oh, well, uh, that's different.-How?

Ah, well, it just is.

[groans]

Look, Wembley,

we all act weird sometimes, we all act weird sometimes,

but usually there's an explanation.

Why don't you just go backto Mudwell and...

And tell him you want to understandwhat's going on?

I... Boober, what do you think?

Oh, don't ask me. I'm still reelingfrom the part where you said

his peach and pepper potagewas better than mine.

[sighs]

[Wembley sighs]

Mudwell owes me an explanation?

Then I'm on my way.

Why?

Why did I do it?

I feel so guilty.

What a terrible time to goand make a friend.

What was I supposed to do?

Leave him buried under those rocks?

Well, I didn't, and the worst happened.

I had to hurt somebodythat cared about me.

Well, I can put that all behind me now.

'Cause the time has come.-The time for what?

'Cause the time has come.-The time for what?

What are you doing here? I thought I told you to...

Forget it, Mudwell. It won't work.

Friends don't act mean to each otherwithout a reason.

And I've come back to find outwhat that reason is.

-I see.-Well? Spill it.

And don't try anything like,

"Mudbunnies and Fraggles arevery different

and really can't understand each other."

Well, the truth is Mudbunniesand Fraggles are very different.

[sighs]

I don't think they really canunderstand each other.

Really? Why not?

Well, Fraggles are always runningaround, being friends together,

having lots of fun.

But... But we're friends, and we had lots of fun too.

We sure did.

More fun than I've ever had in my life.

Well, then why did you push me away?

Because a Mudbunny never knowswhen the time will come.

Though that's all right with me,

it's bound to hurt anyone I've madefriends with when I have to say goodbye.

Then don't say goodbye.

Let's just hang around togetherand have fun.

I really like you. I really like you.

And I really like you, Wembley.

But the mud is ready...

and the time has come.

Ah.

Perfect.

Goodbye.

Mudwell, what are you doing?

This is no time to take a nap. I want to work things out.

Come on, Mudwell. Wake up.

Mudwell?

He's dead.

Sprocket, I am ashamed of you.

[murmurs]

Well, I'll tell you why. I just happenedto come from Ned Shimmelfinney's,

Well, I'll tell you why. I just happenedto come from Ned Shimmelfinney's,

where he and his cat Fluffinella

were listening to your favorite show, Pet News.

-[parrot] Uh-oh.-[Sprocket] Uh-oh.

Now, I know you listento this show every day.

So you know that this bird belongsat Goldberg's Pet Shop.

-[whimpers]-Well, why didn't you say anything?

-[murmurs]-Yes, yes, yes.

I know you care for him, but that doesn't matter.

This bird has gotta go backwhere he belongs.

-[Sprocket whimpers]-Now you just better say goodbye.

[whimpering]

[inhales, exhales deeply]

He's not gonna get over losing Mudwellunless we help him.

Well, I know what I'd doif I was faced with such a tragedy.

So do I.

So do I.

In fact, I've been preparingfor it all my life.

[Wembley sobbing]

[Mokey] Oh. Aw.

[Boober] Aw.

[Gobo sighs]

Well, I don't care what we doas long as we do it now.

- Okay, you ready, Wembley?-Ready. - Okay, you ready, Wembley?-Ready.

All right! Here we go. [chuckles]

This'll make you feel better.

[both screaming]

[screaming continues]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[droning]

Goodbye, my friend, goodbye.

Fear not, I shall not cry

or moan or fret or stub my toe upon the...

rock on which you lie.

[World's Oldest Fraggle] Put me down! I don't know what you expect me to do.

-Whoa!-[crash]

Look. You're the World's Oldest Fraggle. If anybody can help Wembley, it's you.

[grumbles]

So your little friend kicked the boulder,

left no forwarding address, left no forwarding address,

stayed down for the count,

headed for the big cave in the sky.

Whoa!

That's not what I meant!

It's okay, Gobo.

Yeah, my friend is gone,

and I'm having trouble believing it.

Oh, I know what you mean.

You keep thinking that your little pal

is just gonna comewalking through the door at any minute.

-Am I right?-That's right!

Well, anything's possible.

-Really?-But I wouldn't hold my breath!

[laughs]

Hey, I don't know... I don't know how you can laugh.

I feel just terrible.

Oh. Now... Now come on, little fella.

Lookee here, when you reach my age,

you don't take death so seriously.

In fact, when you've been in one placeas long as I have,

you can't help but look forwardto a change of scenery.

[laughing]

-Yes.-"Look forward to a...

- A change of scenery."-"A change of scenery."

- a change of scenery."-"A change of scenery."

[laughs] That's a new...

-[laughing] That's a... [laughing]

-Oh!-Oh, oh!

-[laughing]-I fell off the rock!

Yeah! [laughs] "Look forward to a change"...

"Change of scenery." [chuckles]

[Wembley] Huh. [chuckles] Yeah.

[sighs] Well,

I guess he didn't helpvery much either, did he?

[Wembley] Well, maybe not, butit... It did feel good to laugh. [chuckles]

[sighs]

Wembley, you know, when I was a little Fraggle, I...

I had a pet thimble bug.

-Oh.-Well, I don't know ifhe got lost or ran away or...

Or even died.

All I know is one day he was gone.

Did... Did that make youfeel as bad as I do?

Well, yeah, sure.

Ah.

But you know what?

Uh, that little thimble bug had built anest for himself in the corner of my room.

And, well, I still have that nest. And, well, I still have that nest.

And that helps?

Well, sure. It's...

It's likea... a part of him is still alive.

Ah, I get it.

It's like if... if somebody drew pictures, like Mokey,

or... or if somebody built a diving board, like Red,

we'd have those thingsto remember them by.

-Yeah.-Yeah.

But it doesn't even have to be a thingthat they leave behind.

It could just be a happy momentthat you... you keep alive in your memory.

Well... [chuckles]

Well, I... I had lots of happy momentswith Mudwell.

[chuckles, sighs]

But... But I don't feel like part of himis still alive

'cause I'm not used to all of himbeing gone.

Well...

Well, maybe you're just not... not readyto think about the happy times.

No. No, I'm not.

'Cause there's something I have to do.

[wind whistling]

What happened?

Mudwell? Is that you?

Oh. Um...

I... I don't know if you can hear me, but... but I just wanna say goodbye.

We had some good times, and...

And I'm gonna do my best to tryand remember them.

[gasps]

-Mudwell?-[coughing]

Sorry to disappoint you, pal.

I may only be a second old,

but I know that my name is not Mudwell.

Oh, well... I guess it's silly, but...

But for a moment there, I... But for a moment there, I...

Well, I thought that you weresomeone else.

Yeah, sure. I get it.

I hope you find, uh... What's his name? Mudwell.

I really do.

But, uh, now, if you don't mind, I'd like to check out my new place.

Oh.

Sure. I... I'm sorry I bothered you.

Well, here. Why don't you take theseas kind of a... a cave-warming gift?

Well, thanks. Don't mind if I do.

This place is kind ofmud-colored for my taste,

but these make itseem better already. Huh.

Yeah.

[Wembley humming]

What's that you're humming? Sounds kind of familiar.

Well, it's a song I really love. It goes like, um...

[whistling]

Yeah. Yeah. And I bet the rest of it goes like...
