- [Becca] My family and I were shipwrecked

in the Indian Ocean.

Everyone on the ship escaped in lifeboats,

except for us.

But we worked hard and built ourselves

a raft to get to the island nearby.

As we drifted closer and closer,

we wondered what the island would be like.

(water swishing)

(chicken clucks)

Would it be a tropical paradise?

Or a dangerous jungle?

I couldn't tell.

Oh, Brewster, here comes your friend the rooster.

See?

(Becca laughs)

(gentle music)

(rooster clucks)

(Brewster barks)

- What's the matter, Brewster?

- Do you see something out there, Brewster?

What is it?

(Brewster whines)

- Maybe he sees something on the island.

- [Fritz] Do you see any people, Becca?

- [Becca] I don't see anything moving.

(water swishing)

Ooh, whoa!

What's happening?

(scraping noise)

(water splashing)

- We've run aground on something.

- My, that sure was a big noise.

(water lapping)

- We hit a patch of coral reef.

- Coral reefs, really?

- You were supposed to be looking, Becca.

So this wouldn't happen.

Now we're stuck.

- Well, I couldn't see it down there in the water.

- Go ahead and reef the sail, Fritz.

- Right away, Dad.

(sail flaps)

- Just throw the ends over the top.

(both grunt)

Now, let's push off.

(water swishing)

(both grunting)

(water lapping)

(water bubbling)

Keep rowing on your side, Fritz.

- Okay, Dad.

(Fritz grunts)

- [Ernest] That's it.

(waves crashing distantly)

Just look at this place.

It's going to be impossible to land here

with all of these steep cliffs.

- The people in the lifeboats must have

really had a rough time, Ernest.

- Yes, especially with a storm raging.

(Brewster barks)

- The Captain must be on the island

by the way Brewster is barking.

- I sure hope so.

- We'll drift slowly and look around for a little while.

See if you can find a good place

to bring this raft to shore, Becca.

- Alright.

I see where the cliff ends.

We can land right over there.

(water swishing)

- [Ernest] Oh, you're right, Becca.

We could land there.

I think it's still a little too rocky.

It'll be hard to carry all our baggage

up to a safe place.

Why don't you look some more

and see if you can find a beach along here somewhere.

- [Becca] We sailed on and on.

Looking for a place to land our raft,

but we never found a beach.

We were all very tired.

(Fritz pants)

- Hand me the binoculars, please, Becca.

- Sure, Dad.

- [Ernest] There must be someplace we can land.

Ah, wait a minute!

I think I see an inlet.

- Yay!

- Great!

(Ernest grunts)

- Fritz, be careful of the rocks.

There are a lot more of them in here

close to the shore.

- Okay, Dad.

(Fritz grunts)

(Brewster barks)

- Uh oh!

(dramatic music)

Watch out!

There's a rock!

- Uh oh.

Stop rowing, Fritz.

We gotta turn!

- Okay!

Oh!

(tense music)

(water swishing)

- [Fritz] Dad, watch out!

(crashing sound)

Oh!

(grunting)

(water splashing)

- Ooh, ooh, ooh!

(rooster clucks)

Ooh!

Ooh.

(Becca gasps)

Whew!

Oh!

Hey!

There's a beach!

- [Ernest} You're right, Becca.

It's a good thing the tide's coming in.

- We can land now, can't we, Ernest?

- Sure.

(Brewster Barks)

- Dad, I'm so excited!

We made it.

We're here!

(water splashing)

Yippy!

- Hey, hey, hey.

Wait a minute, Becca.

You can't get off the raft until I check things out.

- [Anna] Be careful, Ernest.

(water splashes)

- Are there lions?

- Cannibals, maybe.

- Uh oh.

- Do you see anything, Dad?

- Not yet.

(waves crashing distantly)

- [Jack] Where'd he go, Mom?

- [Anna] I don't know.

(sad music)

- Dad?

(sad music)

(sighs)

- Look, he's alright.

Ernest!

Did you find a safe place?

- Yes!

- Yay!

(Becca laughs)

- Oh, dear me.

I'm still holding this rifle.

- [Fritz] Take it with you, Mother.

We need to bring all our baggage anyway.

- Well, alright.

Maybe I should.

- Fritz, let's tie the raft somewhere

so it won't float away.

- Okay.

(Anna grunts)

Hmm?

- Let's go.

- The sand feels so good on my feet.

(laughs)

(happy music)

Yay!

(grunts)

- Come on!

Whoa!

(water splashes)

Silly donkey.

(laughs)

- Wait up!

(both grunt)

(kids laughing)

- Oh, look.

- Dad, dad!

(laughs)

- Oh my.

(Ernest laughs)

(giggling)

(laughing)

(happy music)

- Look at it.

It sparkles.

(laughs)

It's so warm.

I love the sand.

(contented sigh)

(serene music)

(Brewster whines)

(licking sound)

(moans sleepily)

(Brewster barks)

- What?

(Brewster barks)

- What is it?

- What's the matter, Brewster?

(Brewster barks)

- Oh, I know.

Good boy.

He's telling us the sun is going down.

Well, maybe we should get up

(grunts)

and finish our work before it gets dark.

- Becca, wake up.

Come on, Jack.

(yawns)

(waves lapping)

(cloth flapping)

- Well, Fritz.

I think the cliff will make a good wall

to protect us from the strong wind and the rain.

- We sure found a good spot, huh?

- Yes, we did.

- Here's some wood.

- Here.

- Thank you.

- Nobody seems to live here.

- I think you're right.

I didn't see any footprints.

(ocean sounds)

(fire crackling)

(eating noises)

- Mmm, this tastes good, Anna.

I cooked this meal with things we brought

over from the ship.

But unfortunately, that won't last very long.

We'll have to search for our food from now on.

- Well, you're right, Anna.

- I can go fishing, Mom.

- Hey, Mother, I'm gonna find shells.

- And I think I'll go look for some fruit.

There must be bananas and papayas around here.

Oh!

(Brewster barks)

- We totally forgot about Brewster.

He must be hungry.

- I didn't forget about him, Dear.

Here, here's something special.

C'mon, boy.

There.

This is for you.

Becca, you didn't forget to loosen

the donkey's rope, did you?

- Oh no, I forgot.

- He's probably getting very hungry by now.

Especially if he can't reach his food.

- I'll go now.

(donkey brays)

I'm sorry, Mr. Donkey.

I hope that's enough food for you, Mr. Donkey.

(donkey whinnies)

- [Anna] Well children, it's time to get ready for bed.

There, now your bed's ready.

- Good night.

- Good night, my children.

Don't forget to say your prayers.

Won't you be going to bed now, Ernest?

- Fritz and I will take turns keeping watch tonight.

Since we have no idea what's on this island.

(hums in agreement)

Now, go to sleep.

And don't worry about a thing.

Fritz, I'll wake you at one.

- Okay, Dad.

- Night, Father.

- Hey.

- No.

- Becca, quit fighting over it.

- Jack started it.

- I did not.

You did, Becca.

(angry noises)

- You two, keep quiet.

- Ow!

- You'll be sorry.

- Get him!

(laughing)

- If you act like we're camping out

we'll never get any rest.

And all of the wild animals.

Don't let them stay up too late, Anna.

(kids laughing)

(waves crashing)

(patting sounds)

- I wonder what Marie is doing.

- Back home when you couldn't sleep,

you would crawl into her bed and she would

sing you a sweet, little lullaby.

Do you remember, Becca?

- She told me she once slept in a cabin on the ground,

just like we are now.

She grew up in the mountains, you know.

I know.

I'll write her a letter and tell her everything

that's happened to us.

- Hey, silly.

Where are you going to mail a letter around here anyway?

- Oh,

- Huh?

- Well,

- I didn't think of that.

(gentle music)

(fire crackling)

(birds squawking)

- Hmm?

I'm jumpy.

It's only a bird.

(gentle music)

(donkey whinnies)

Hey, old fella.

I'm sorry you're all alone out here.

If anything happens, just give me a great, big bellow.

(donkey brays)

(fire crackling)

- Fritz, Fritz, wake up.

- What?

- Time for guard duty.

- Oh yeah.

- I'm sorry you're so tired.

- That's alright.

- Be careful.

- I will.

- Don't let the fire go out.

Animals will stay away as long as it burns, alright?

(hums in agreement)

And don't fall asleep.

- Okay, Dad.

- And remember to look after the donkey too.

He's all alone out there in the dark

and he could be attacked at any time.

- Alright.

(blanket rustling)

(fire crackling)

(sleepy noises)

Huh, oh.

(grunts)

(fire crackling)

(gasps)

Oh, I know, I shouldn't be sitting.

(water splashing)

(shore noises)

Dear Lord, thank you for taking care of our family.

We have a lot to be thankful for,

but I'm worried about Emily.

(polka music)

(leaves rustling)

Huh?

(donkey brays)

What's wrong?

What's wrong, donkey?

(donkey brays)

(tense music)

(donkey brays)

(tense music)

(donkey brays)

(leaves rustling)

(donkey noises)

(rifle clicks)

(leaves rustling)

(high-pitched noise)

(gun fires)

(all gasp)

- Fritz, what happened?

Fritz, what was it?

- I shot it, I shot it!

- What, what?

You shot a what?

- I don't know.

There were two shiny eyes.

He was going to attack our donkey.

There!

Right up there.

Really.

- What happened, Ernest?

- An animal.

- What do you think it is?

Some sort of a bear?

- Let me see.

It's a petite cuscus.

- A petite what?

- A gentle animal that lives in South Pacific areas.

Poor little thing.

- But, I didn't --

(dejected sigh)

- It's not your fault, Fritz.

I would have shot it too if I'd seen it

come out of the dark like that.

It's a female.

Looks like it was a mother that just has a little baby.

- Oh, poor little animal.

- We better not let Becca and Jack see it.

(hums in agreement)

(gentle music)

- Oh.

Oh, it's a beautiful morning.

(gentle music)

(yawns)

(screaming sound)

Huh?

- What's wrong, Anna?

- Oh Ernest!

- What's the matter?

- Over there!

- Huh?

(animal cries)

- Is it a cat?

- A rat?

- It's a baby petite cuscus.

- A petite what?

- Oh, this is the ba --

- Shh.

- May I touch it?

(hums in consent)

It's so cute.

Yes.

(giggles)

Oops.

Hey.

Where you going?

- What a sweet little thing.

(cuscus peeps)

- Ah!

(all laugh)

- What is it?

- [Anna] It's the newest member of our family.

Isn't it sweet?

- We found you a new friend.

- No, no, no!

It's mine!

- Mine!

- It's mine!

- It's mine!

- [Anna] Stop it you two.

- Come on now, take it easy on the little guy.

- Why don't you two work at trying to find

a good name for your new little friend?

- It's awfully hard to call him Petite Cuscus.

- Oh.

Well, I think maybe a French name would be nice.

What day is it today?

- I believe today is Wednesday, Becca.

- Dad, how do you say Wednesday in French?

- [Ernest] Mercredi.

- I know.

His name should be Mercedes.

- [Ernest] It's Mercredi, Becca.

- Oh, that doesn't matter.

Mercedes is close enough.

- Mercedes.

Mercedes.

- [Becca] Here Mercedes.

(Brewster barks)

(Brewster barks)

- What's wrong, Brewster?

(Brewster barks)

- I think he wants us to come with him.

- Fritz, let's go see what he's found.

(soft guitar and flute music)

(Brewster barks)

(running on sand noise)

(gentle flute music)

- Let's change our clothes and go look too.

Come on, children.
