Betty, Michael, when is Stillwater going to get home?

He's coming home today, Carl, but it's still going to be a while.

Oh, do you want to help us with the welcome home decorations?

I already finished my picture.

I'm going to wait outside for Stillwater.

How much longer?

It's still going to be a while, Carl.

How much is a while?

Still a few more hours, okay?

That's forever.

I can't wait forever.

Why don't you go feed Stillwater's koi fish?

That'll give you something to do. I already did.

Can I feed them again?

Stillwater said only once a day.

Okay.

Why can't Stillwater be home right now?

Because he's coming from a long way away.

And that means an airplane and a train ride. And then he has to walk from the

train station to home.

Can we go to the train station and meet him there?

You would still have to wait.

Only there instead of here.

Please.

How much longer now?

Carl, I told you it was still going to be a while and we'd have to wait here

too. Are you hungry?

Mom packed us sandwiches.

No, thank you. My tummy is too... to eat.

We're excited to see Stillwater, too.

The clock just moved.

Is he coming now?

No, Carl.

Not yet.

Addy, what does that mean?

It means we have to wait some more.

No more waiting!

Uh, would you like to hear a story?

I only want to hear a Stillwater story.

From Stillwater!

Okay, I guess we can just keep waiting until he gets here.

the story the kind that starts like this

there once was a family who was taking a very long trip in a

covered wagon oh i learned in school that on the oregon trail it could take

up to six months take to the story right sorry there was a big

brother a big sister and a little brother like you carl It was a long and

bumpy journey, and they had to cross big open fields, wide rivers, and steep

rolling hills.

Sounds like fun.

It was for the big brother and big sister, but the little brother didn't

think so. He said the same thing over and over.

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

And he kept asking.

Are we there yet? And asking.

Are we there yet? Then ask him. Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

How come you never ask if we're there yet? Because we know a secret.

A secret?

Yes. A secret that makes waiting feel, well, less like waiting.

Do you think he's ready?

Maybe.

Close your eyes.

Then you have to imagine, where could we be right now?

With the wagon bumping, it feels like we're on a pirate ship sailing through

the rocky seas.

I can feel it too!

It's a whole lot more fun taking a trip on a bumpy pirate ship than this old

wagon.

Now open your eyes and look up.

What do you see?

A giant steam engine.

Hmm, I see.

A windmill.

Ooh, I just see a buffalo.

Like in that song you sing.

Can you teach me the song? The one about the buffalo.

There once was a wandering buffalo who walked

all the way to where the green grass grows.

He tramped over hills and across the plains.

And to the rolling meadows, the sweet falling rain.

Wander, wander, buffalo.

Walk a thousand miles and I will take it slow.

The younger brother realized that sometimes you have to wait.

And sometimes you have to wait for a really long time.

But even if you can't do anything about the waiting, with a little imagination,

You can always make it feel less like waiting and more like fun.

Wonder, wonder, buffalo.

Walk a thousand miles and always take it slow.

Stillwater!

Hello,

my friends.

I've missed you all.

I missed you too.

hear the train arrive.

I could tell.

That was a very nice story and song.

And I know the secret to waiting.

You play games and look at clouds and sing songs and pretend.

Did you bring us anything?

Carl! I do have some small gifts we can open at home.

But there is one thing I brought with me I can share right away.

To be back here with my friends, Addie, Michael, Carl.

Will we be going?

I can't wait for Uncle's house.

And will it take a long... Oh, it's a long walk.

It's not that far.

Yes, it is. It's like a million zillion miles away.

But I know the secret to making things that take a long time fun.

So you won't even notice the how long it takes to get there part.

Which way is it to home?

I find with my little eye something that is waving.

Now let's walk backwards.

If we walk backwards, I think the rule should be that.

To backwards talk we.

I believe we have arrived.

A zillion miles home.

It did not seem long at all.

May we walk some more?

We can walk some more this way.

Welcome home, Stillwater.

And Coop.

Oh, thank you, Addie.

We have bamboo and carrot.

Oh, my favorite.

I can tell that you took good care of things while I was away.

Thanks to all of you.

You know, Carl, now that I'm home, I can finally do something.

I've been waiting for a long time to do.

Build a trampoline? Pick apples?

Play tickle tag?

All very good ideas.

But what I would really like to do now is tell you a story.

And this one is about all the fun things I'm looking forward to in the days

ahead.

I'm looking forward to baking.

and rocket shooting, and fun games in the park.

Hey, Addy, whatcha

baking?

I'm making two dozen lemon sprinkle cupcakes for the school's charity bake

sale. And we're donating the money to kids who need school supplies.

Mmm, can I help too?

I'd love that, Carl.

Yay, I'll pour the sprinkles.

Uh, Addy, there's no more sprinkles.

Oh, uh, maybe Maya will have some.

I'll give her a call.

I've got your sprinkles.

Thanks. You're a lifesaver. You done with your cupcakes yet?

No.

I tried three batches already, and they either turned out too salty, too sweet,

or too burned.

I don't know how you make it look so easy.

I know.

I can make extra cupcakes, so you won't have to.

Really? Are you sure?

Yeah. I'll just double the batch.

No big deal.

That would be seriously amazing.

Then I can have more time to decorate the table.

Thanks so much, Addy.

My pleasure.

See you about the bake sale.

Cupcake batch number two coming up.

Hey, Tommy. Hey, I was just on my way to the park to set up the table.

How's the baking going?

So far, so good.

I've got one batch of cupcakes in the oven and one more on the way. Two

batches?

Sweet. Get it?

Cause they're sweet?

Anyways, are you going to make that banana bread you brought to Lexi's

birthday party?

My mom would totally buy some.

It was so yummy and banana-y.

Uh, okay.

I can do that.

I'll have to start the recipe from scratch, and I'm not sure if there's

enough room in the oven for another baking tray.

I'll just ask Stillwater if I can use his kitchen.

Awesome. See you at the bake sale.

Hi, Stillwater.

Why, hello, Addie. Can I please use your oven? Now I need to make banana bread

for the school's bake sale, but I ran out of space in our kitchen.

How generous of you to contribute your talents to the school bake sale.

I would be honored if you used my kitchen to make your banana bread.

Thanks so much.

I better start mixing the batter, or it won't be ready in time. Let me know if

you would like any... Help.

Asha?

Hey, Addy.

I had an idea.

Are you ready?

It's a pie... cake.

Get it? And inside is 3.14 layers of chocolate delicious with rainbow

sprinkles on top.

That's pretty amazing, Asha.

You think you can make it in time for the bake sale?

Oh, you want me to make it? Well, I was kind of hoping you would since this cake

is so special that only a great baker like you could do it.

And my mom won't let me use the oven.

Such a hit.

Sure, Asha.

Let me see what I can do.

You're the best, Addy.

I better go help Tommy set up. And don't forget the sprinkles.

Okay.

I'm going to need some extra hands.

Okay. Two times one and a half tablespoons equals... Lots of...

Time to take the cupcakes out.

Time to put cake layer three in the oven.

Um, which thing is that?

Cake layer one is ready in kitchen number two. On it.

Hmm.

We can help Addy.

Hmm. I'll be back soon to frost it. Gotta check if the cupcakes have cooled

off.

You did?

Look, they got a little melty.

Oh, no.

Sorry, I was checking the timer and they got into the cupcakes.

You're welcome.

Should we put these in the box for the bake sale?

No, I think these should be for us.

Why don't you take some distilled water?

Okay.

I'm really sorry, Addy. It's fine.

I just...

Need a break.

Stillwater, we have a present for you.

For me?

Oh, how kind.

And what a creative frosting style.

We did the frosting.

Addie was very surprised.

Now she's on the porch.

May I join you, Addie?

This bake sale is not going the way I thought it would.

Oh?

Usually, I love baking.

But right now, I'm just so worried about how much I have to do.

I should have never promised to make so many things for my friends.

I can see how hard you've been working.

You've certainly taken on a big order.

I can't let anyone down.

They're all counting on me.

But there's no way I'm going to be able to finish everything in time.

You know, I once heard a story about someone with a very similar problem.

Will you tell me about it, Stillwater?

There was once a traveler going on a journey over a mountain.

Good day.

I see you're going over the mountain today. Would you mind taking this letter

with you?

Of course.

I'm already going that way, and a letter hardly weighs a thing.

Greetings, neighbor.

Would you mind taking this package on your way over the mountain?

It's only a small package.

I'd be happy to.

It's a bit heavy, but could you take this over the mountain?

Of course. And this, too, if you don't mind.

Do be careful. It is rather fragile.

Though each step grew harder, the traveler never said no.

By the time he began to climb, the traveler was so weighted down with items

he was carrying for others that it became too much.

He was almost at the top of the mountain when...

The traveler realized too late that he took on more than he could carry and

should have spoken up when things got too heavy.

Sometimes a heavy load can burden even the kindest gesture.

And I like the traveler.

I didn't mind making cupcakes for Maya, but it was too much once I started

agreeing to help everyone else.

It's admirable to want to do things for others.

And it's also important to know your limits and speak up about them, even if

it might mean disappointing someone.

I think I know what I'm going to do.

Thank you, Snow Water.

cake going.

Actually, I wanted to let you both know something.

I can't do the banana bread or the pie cake.

I'm already baking a double batch of cupcakes, and I realized I don't have

enough time to do it all.

I'm so sorry, Addie.

If I knew how much baking you had to do, I never would have asked.

Me neither.

Don't even worry about anything extra.

Plenty of other people signed up to bake stuff.

I'm so glad you understand.

We've just been setting up. Is there anything we can do to help?

Actually, there is.

Check out our bake sale!

Support kids who need school supplies!

Hello, everyone.

What a delicious bunch of treats you've all made.

Glad you can make it.

How do you feel after all your baking, Addie?

I'm really happy I spoke up for myself.

It was so much fun baking cupcakes with all my friends.

I'd better make my purchase before the line gets too long.

How about a zucchini muffin?

Great choice.

Enjoy. Thank you, Addie.

I'm happy to help such a worthy cause.

Handy, delicious muffins.

With

our

spirits we were floating through the trees.

Like creatures we were soaring high, blowing off the steam, over a mountain

and a center that's so green, a never-ending dream.

I found a little bit of honey, now I'm a little sweeter than silence.

Just a little bit of honey.
