(dog barking)

(dramatic music)

- [Voiceover] Our first morning on the island,

Brewster made a terrible discovery.

(dog barks)

(dramatic music)

- What do you think he's after, Father?

- [Father] We'll soon find out.

(barking)

- Keep up with us, Jack.

- Hey wait, Becca, Mercedes wants to come with us too.

(chirping noise)

- Alright now, Mercedes, come on.

- Oh. Come here Mercedes.

- Let's go!

- Ahh, ohh oh.

Hey, wait for me.

(panting)

- Brewster, where are you?

(gasps)

I hope he's alive. I wonder who he is?

- [Father] Look at his uniform.

It's someone from the ship's crew.

(panting)

(gasps)

- Oh.

- [Father] I don't believe it.

- Oh no. It's the Captain.

Can you feel a pulse?

(grunts negatively)

(cries)

- [Becca] Look! Brewster found someone!

- [Mother] Oh, the poor soul.

- Oh!

(dog moaning)

Oh dear, it's the Captain. Is he alive?

- He was a brave man, he died while saving my life.

(cries)

(mournful music)

- [Jack] Does that mean the Captain

won't be playing with us anymore?

(crying)

- [Becca] I was soon finding out

that life is filled with the unexpected.

Sometimes good, and sometimes sad.

(sad music)

Father and Fritz were soon busy

preparing a resting place for our dear Captain.

(digging sounds)

We all had a lot to think about.

Wondering about the other people from the ship

and what would happen to us on this island.

It sure was a far cry from living in Australia.

(grunting)

- Whoo.

(digging)

- [Voiceover] Mother and I were helping

in our own way, too.

Luckily, Jack had his new friend to play with,

but I still missed my friends.

(chirp)

(laughter)

- Oh, hey.

Mercedes, Mercedes come back here, Mercedes.

You can't get away from me.

I can catch up to you.

You little rascal, come here.

Come on. Oh.

Oh, oww.

- [Becca] I think the saddest one of all that day

was poor Brewster.

He lost his very best friend.

- Take these.

(mournful music)

- [Becca] And that day, we said goodbye

to our good friend, the Captain.

- [Father] We commit this body to the grave,

looking for that blessed hope,

the resurrection from the dead,

and life everlasting through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Let us pray.

Gracious God, look down on our sorrows

and give us hope.

Teach us to accept the joys and sorrows

of life without complaining.

Comfort us with your love,

and guide us by your spirit.

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

(howling)

(howling)

(breaking noise)

- [Jack] What's that loud noise?

- Oh!

- [Fritz] It's our ship!

I hope Emily got away okay.

- [Mother] I can't believe my own eyes.

- [Jack] Goodbye, ship.

(crash)

(gasps)

- It's the end of the Blackburn Rock.

- At least it waited for the Captain to be buried first.

(whooshing)

- [Jack] Bye bye.

(sinking sound)

- All of my animal friends went down with the ship.

I promised I'd return for them.

But there wasn't time for me come back to save them.

- [Jack] Wow, it disappeared.

- [Mother] Everything is gone, now. Everything.

- [Becca] After that, I didn't feel

like doing much of anything.

- Mercedes, Mercedes, wait for me, wait.

Okay let's go.

(sad music)

- Hmm.

Is there anything you'd like to talk about, Becca?

- I can't stop thinking about those animals

that went down with the ship.

I didn't keep my promise to them.

- But you mustn't blame yourself,

it wasn't your fault.

Besides, what could you have possibly done

to save them, Becca?

At least they didn't have to starve,

since you left them a lot of food,

that was very thoughtful.

- Mhmm.

- That's right, now come along

we're having a family meeting.

You too, come on Jack.

- Coming.

- I'm planning on taking a journey.

- But where?

- Hooray, how fun!

- Not so fast. As it happens, I'm going by myself.

- Why not us?

- I want to go with you.

- Me too.

- No, I can go a lot faster alone.

You three will stay here with your mother.

I expect to be gone for about three days.

- For three days?

- [Father] At least that long.

I want to explore the land,

I'm not even sure if we're on an island or not.

Our survival depends on this.

- [Becca] One potato, two potato, three potato four,

five potato, six potato, seven potato more.

- [Mother] Ernest?

- What is is, Anna?

You know you can count on Fritz

to take care of things while I'm gone.

- Of course, but I'm worried about you,

three days is an awfully long time to be away from us.

- I can take care of myself.

- But you might run into something dangerous out there

and you'd be all alone with nobody to help you.

We don't know this place and there could be

all kinds of strange animals or Natives around.

- Mhmm

- So I think it would be a good idea

for you to take someone along with you.

- Take me!

- No dear, I need you with me.

Fritz is the logical choice.

- But my dear, can you manage without both of us?

- We'll be fine. This place seems safe to me,

and besides we have another rifle

should any emergency come up.

- All right dear, if you insist,

I will take Fritz with me.

Somehow we'll all manage.

- Mhmm. Be a good girl, dear,

and add some food to their satchel.

- Oh, I wanted to go.

Will you take me with you next time, Father?

- Yes, and I'm counting on you to take care of everybody.

- You have my word.

- Take care of yourselves and hurry back.

- We will.

I promise we'll be back in three days.

- Our prayers will be with you.

- See you soon.

- In three days. Good bye.

- Bye bye.

- [Becca] I felt proud that Father left me in charge,

but sad at the same time at seeing them walk away.

(Jack laughs)

(whistling)

- I am glad that mother insisted you come along.

- Me too father.

(animal noises)

(gasps)

Hoo, it was only a bird.

- Keep up, Fritz.

Careful on these rocks, Son.

(grunts)

(rushing water)

- [Fritz] It's a beautiful sight, isn't it Father?

- Yes, son. But it's also treacherous terrain.

We'll cross over on these rocks.

Be careful, now.

You alright there?

- I'm right behind you.

- [Anna] Your father taught me how to handle this,

but i'm still a bit nervous.

I should practice, but I hope I'll never have to use it.

(cocks gun)

(hammer clicks)

- Oh, you have no bullets.

- I know, Becca, I'm just getting the feel for it.

(cocks gun)

- Whee!

- Becca, that's not funny. A gun could be dangerous.

- You said there were no bullets!

- But it's still not safe.

- You're handling it well.

- Thank you, but please be careful.

- Let me try it.

Like this?

Oh, ohhh, oh.

(sighs)

I'll never be a sharpshooter.

(grunting)

- [Fritz] There's no sign

that the lifeboats reached the shore.

There's nothing but the sea and those mountains over there.

- I think we should climb the mountain.

When we get to the top

we can get a better view of this place.

- Good idea, Father.

It's a good thing that we Swiss

are expert mountain climbers.

- [Ernest] Did you know that your Grandfather

was a world champion climber?

- [Fritz] Really?

(cracking rocks)

- Gotcha. Step to your left.

- [Becca] Every meal that day was a picnic on the beach.

(meows)

- Here Jack, feed this to your hungry friend.

- Mercedes, Mercedes, eat.

- It's real good food.

(sniffing)

(chirps)

- Poor little thing. I don't know what he eats,

I never fed a marsupial.

- [Becca] Mother and I were managing pretty well.

But in the back of our minds,

we were thinking about Father and Fritz

and wondering what they were up to.

- [Fritz] It's like a beautiful painting.

If I didn't know better,

I'd think I was back in Switzerland.

- It looks quite uninhabited from here,

we still have to find out if this place is an island.

We should climb down to the other side

before it becomes dark.

(birds chirping)

- [Becca] You'd make a good girl scout, mother.

You should receive an honorary badge of merit.

- [Anna] Thank you, Becca,

it's really just using common sense.

And Brewster will be our honorary scout dog,

now I want you stand guard,

and bark if anyone approaches.

- Who might come? Cannibals?

- No, Becca, there might be animals, but small ones.

- You mean man-eating animals?

(laughs)

- Of course not, nothing like that.

(laughs)

- I was worried they'd be bigger than Brewster.

- [Anna] I hope not.

Now there's nothing to worry about, Becca,

we have our trusty rifle here to protect us.

- Uh huh.

(brooding music)

(grunting)

- Hmm.

Oh what's to become of us?

It seems like an eternity ago that I was playing music

and dancing with Emily on the ship.

- [Becca] We all slept really soundly that night.

It was almost like sleeping in my bed

back in Switzerland.

Living on the island was a great new adventure,

and somehow I knew that everything

would turn out alright.

Even though there might be some struggles ahead.

- Ahh

(barks)

- Hmm, what's wrong?

Why is Brewster barking?

- Calm down, I've got everything under control.

Stay behind me.

Come here, boy. What were you barking at, Brewster?

Why he looks fast asleep to me,

it probably wasn't anything at all.

- Mother?

- What is it, Rebecca?

(clears throat)

- Oh!

- You can't shoot backwards.

- Oh!

(laughter)

Oh, silly me.

(laughing)

- Jack, why were you screaming?

- I got woken up by Mercedes.

See? She was tickling me and it startled me.

A hah! Stop it, stop it.

- Jack, you made such a fuss you got us all worried.

- Sorry mom, ah, he gets silly sometimes.

(munching)

- Why, look. I think he's looking for food

under Jack's shirt. He must be really hungry.

- Of course he's hungry, he hasn't eaten all day

I tried to feed him but he wouldn't take

a morsel from me.

- I know what you mean, Mother.

I also tried to feed him.

You know, we should have asked Father before he left

what kind of food we should be feeding Mercedes.

- He's a baby. I'm sure he would prefer to drink some milk,

but I wouldn't know where to find any for him.

(chirping)

Oh dear, the poor thing is so hungry

I don't know what to do.

- But he whines all the time.

- Hey, I've got a super idea.

- What is it?

- Coconuts.

- What about them?

- Oh boy, I'd love to eat coconuts,

I've seen trees everywhere.

- That's right, coconuts have lots of milk.

And we can feed it to Mercedes

so he'll grow up to be big and healthy.

Why didn't I think of it earlier?

- It's a very good idea, but what can we do right now?

I suppose you could climb up a tree

but it would be dangerous at this late hour.

- No problem, I did it all the time at home.

- Yay.

- Oh Mother, please let me for Mercedes.

- All right, I want you to be careful climbing up the tree.

(chirping)

- [Jack] Mercedes says thank you.

(sucking sound)

(laughs)

He's so cute.

- [Becca] While we went off searching for coconuts,

I was hoping that Father and Fritz

were getting a good night's sleep.

(ominous music)

(animal noises)

(growling)

(growling)

(wave noise)

- [Jack] What'd I tell ya? There's hundreds of them.

- [Anna] They're awfully high up there.

- [Becca] Very high.

- [Jack] Sometimes they fall down.

- [Anna] Let's spread out.

- Look, I found one! Here.

- There's one here, too.

- [Jack] I wanna try one.

- Oh dear, it's broken.

- Oh!

Let me have yours, Becca.

- This one's broken, too.

- Oh, no.

(sniffs)

- It smells fresh.

I think someone's been here and drank from it.

- Who do you mean?

Do you think there's somebody else lurking around here?

- I think it was just an animal.

- Well, let's just hope it was a small one.

- What are we gonna do?

There's no coconuts and Mercedes is still hungry.

- We'll have to pluck them off the tree.

There's no other way!

- I don't know, it's a long way up.

Are you sure you can do this, Rebecca?

- I'll do my best but I never climbed

a tree without branches.

- [Jack] I can do it!

- [Anna] Oh no you won't.

You come down here this minute,

it's much too dangerous for you.

- Ouch!

- You never listen to me!

- How about trying to shoot them down

from the tree, Mom?

- All right, I'll give it a try.

Oh I can't, it's impossible,

I'm not good enough to hit it.

And I'm afraid of wasting the bullets.

- [Becca] I wish I was a monkey right now

I'd climb up there and shake them all down.

- [Jack] I know I could do it if I tried hard.

- Look, Mother, there something moving up the tree!

- What?

- [Jack] It's sure moving fast,

it looks like a giant ant.

- Look it's a crab! A great big giant crab,

and it's climbing right up to the top!

- [Jack] What's it doing up there?

- [Becca] I dont know, but he sure climbs well.

- [Anna] I think he may prove to be a blessing in disguise.

(gasps)

- [Becca] Uh-oh.

- [Anna] Move away, children!

(thud)

- [Becca] Bullseye.

He did that better than we could have,

what a smart crab!

- Oh look, another one.

(thud)

- [Becca] Good shot! Wasn't that nice of the crab

to knock a coconut down for us?

- Well I'm sure he wouldn't mind,

seeing as is it is an emergency for Mercedes.

- [Jack] I'm sure he'd understand, Mother.

- It's quite hard.

I've no idea how to open it.

(gasps)

- [Becca] The crab's coming down,

and he doesn't look happy.

- I think it would be a good idea

if we left right away, come on,

Becca, Jack, let's go.

Hurry along now.

(gasps)

Oh my goodness, I forgot my rifle.

I better walk by quietly.

Oh!

(gasps)

His claws are as sharp as scissors.

- Why is he making that sound, Mom?

- Shh!

He cut it perfectly in half!

- I'm going to get a better view.

(laughs)

- Look, he needs his milk, too!

I guess he's not very thirsty tonight.

I betcha he's going home now to be with his family.

- We'll just exchange coconuts, be quiet.

- Okay.

- Come along, children.

- Come on, Jack!

- I'll get the gun.

Wait for me!

Hey, slow down I can't run that fast!

(heavy breathing)

- That was pretty smart of us!

- It was, you know I haven't had this much fun in years.

- That crab's gonna be really mad!

- Especially since he worked so hard

to cut it in half for us!

(laughing)

- This gun's heavy.

- Here, we'll switch.

(laughing)

- [Becca] I felt really proud

of mother and myself that night.

We were like two brave soldiers,

combating the unseen forces of the night.

- You and Mercedes are sure thirsty,

now I want you to go directly to bed

when you're finished with your milk,

it's still the middle of the night

and tomorrow's a new day.

We'll do something special, okay?

- Oh, boy, we could go swimming.

(peaceful music)

- I'm glad he found a friend to play with,

they're so sweet together.

It keeps him from being lonely.

- It's like having another brother.

- I was nervous before,

but now I know we can manage.

- What do you think Father and Fritz

are doing right this very minute?

- I'm sure they're fast asleep out there,

Ernest knows how to camp in the outdoors.

They're probably camped somewhere quite comfortably.

(snoring)

(growling)

- Huah, ah!

Oh! No, get away!

No! Pull me up with the rope, Father,

hurry, wake up!

No, no, no! Get away!

- Hang on, Fritz!

It's all right, son! A few feet more.

Come on!

(breathes heavily)

- What a way to wake up.

- Bringing along this rope

was one of my better ideas.

That's what I call a rude awakening, Fritz.

- [Fritz] That should teach them not to go

barking up the wrong tree.

(laughs)

(moaning)

- [Becca] I hadn't seen the last of the coconut crab.

He was back in my dreams before the night was over.

Ahh! Ahh! Ah!

Help!

- I'll teach you not to steal my coconut,

you naughty little girl!

Give it back to me, give it back, I'll get you!

(screaming)

- Oh!

- What have you done with my coconut?

I worked very hard for it.

- I'm really sorry, Mr. Crab, it was for Mercedes and Jack,

I didn't have any of it, honest!

- Bleah, nyya, yaar!

(screaming)

(moaning)

- [Becca] Well, that was how we spent

our first night on the island.

It felt like the fullest and longest day

in my whole entire life.
