(slow, gentle music)

- [Becca] The nicest thing about living

on a deserted island is that you can

sleep in as late as you like.

I can't think of one reason for waking up

too early in the morning, but certain people

have secrets that no one else knows about.

(yawns)

(Father groans)

(Mercedes squeaks)

(shushes)

- There.

(panting)

(Brewster barking)

That's pretty.

(giggles)

I'll wash it off.

There's another one.

- [Father] This looks delicious, dear.

- [Becca] Mhmm, I'm starving.

- Bye!

- Hmm? - Hmm?

- Jack was certainly in a hurry to go.

- He's acting very strangely lately.

Is he up to something?

- A little kid like Jack couldn't keep a secret.

(grunts)

- [Father] I guess you're right, Becca.

- [Mother] Where are you going, Jack?

- [Jack] To the beach, bye!

- I still think he's up to something.

- It's wonderful that he's having fun.

I don't care what he's doing.

- Aren't you curious at all?

- Your mother's point is that we're pleased

Jack has found something to keep him

interested in this deserted island.

What about you, Becca?

- Becca's only interested in food, right?

- No, but I would like some chocolate.

A piece of cake or candied fruit with sugar

on it would be nice.

- Come now, Becca.

You know that we used up what little sugar

we had a long time ago.

- I know, but I'd really like to

eat something sweet.

- I understand.

But there are no candy stores on a deserted island.

- Right.

You'll just have to live without sugar.

- I don't think I can.

Life simply isn't worth living if I

can't have sweets.

(gentle music)

- Our crops are coming up very quickly,

but so are these pesky weeds.

- True.

- I had a thought, Ernest.

- What was that, dear?

- It would be nice if we could expand the farm

and grow more crops, but of course,

that's impossible without seeds.

However, it is possible for us to

grow sugar cane.

You and Fritz saw some further from the beach.

We could replant some here.

- Wow, real sugar cane?

- That's right.

Of course, it will be very sweet.

I hope that's all right with you, Becca.

- It's wonderful, Mom.

- It'll be simple enough to transplant,

although it will take some time for it to grow.

We could make a little sugar from the

sugar cane's there, I guess, since you

can't live without it.

- Hurray!

My life is worth living again.

Thank you both.

(Father and Mother giggle)

- Why don't you run along and find Jack?

We may as well get ready to leave.

- Okay!

(playful music)

Jack! Jack!

Jack, guess what?

We're going to get some sugar.

What are you doing over there, Jack?

(Jack gasps) Come on!

Dad's gonna make some sugar for us all.

Isn't that great?

- [Jack] That's nice.

- That's all you can say about getting sugar?

Hey, what are you hiding?

- They're all my treasures.

No one else is supposed to see.

- Treasure?

What do you mean?

Let me see.

(mumbles in disapproval)

Huh?

Nothing but shells.

- Give my treasures back.

I collected them myself, Becca.

- That's what you've been up to.

- Don't laugh at me.

- I'm not laughing at you, Jack.

I think your treasures are very beautiful.

- Really, Becca?

- Mhmm.

- Okay.

Guess you're allowed to look at them a bit.

- How did you collect so many shells

without anyone knowing?

- I get them in the morning when everyone's asleep.

- I can't believe you've got so many.

You must have one of every kind

that's on the beach.

- Yeah, I have.

I've run out of new treasures that I can gather.

- There must be other pretty things

you can look for, Jack.

You'll just have to start a new collection.

- I hope I can find treasures as pretty as these.

(animal baas)

(Father and Fritz grunt)

- A little higher.

- Right there is perfect.

The animals will be safe while we're gone,

up here where the jackals can't reach them.

(Mercedes squeaks)

- Hi.

Now you be good while we're gone, Mercedes.

I'm leaving you in charge.

- (grunts) That should keep it safe

'til we get back.

- Mom?

Will there be shells where we're going?

- No, we're going to go inland.

- Are there pretty things there?

- I'm not sure, Jack.

Why do you ask?

- No reason, really.

- We're going on a real adventure.

- Are you kidding, Becca?

We've been on an adventure since

we first landed on this island.

- (laughs) Good point, Fritz.

- Yes, but we've never been on an adventure

for sugar before.

The animals are watching us.

Stay there, we'll be back soon.

Bye animals, behave yourselves while we're gone.

- I'm sure they will.

(upbeat, adventurous music)

- We're going to get sugar!

♫ When we row across the bay

♫ There we see pretty maidens gay

♫ We just leads to a mountain high

♫ Hear them sing as we pass by

♫ Hole-dee-ra

♫ Hole-dree-hee-hee-a

♫ Hole-dree-hee-hee

♫ Hole-dree-hee-hee-a

♫ Hole-dree-hee-hee

♫ Hol-dree-hee-hee-a

♫ Hole-dree-hee-hee

♫ Hole-dree-hee-hee-a

♫ Hole ♫

- Listen Becca, you'd better save a little

of that energy for walking.

We've got a long way to go.

- Don't worry.

Just thinking about sugar gives me energy.

- Becca hasn't been this excited in weeks.

I'm glad we're doing this, Ernest.

It's fun for the children.

♫ Hole-dree-hee-hee-a

♫ Hole-dree-hee-ho

♫ Hole-dree-hee-hee-a

♫ Hole-dree-hee-ho

♫ Hole-dree-hee-hee-a

♫ Hole-dree-hee-ho

♫ Hole-dree-hee-hee-a

♫ Hole ♫

- Mmm. (Becca continues to sing)

A pretty butterfly!

(gasps)

(Brewster barks)

- Hmm?

- I see Brewster, but where's Jack?

- Jack? - Jack?

- Son, come back here.

- Oh, where have you gone?

- [Jack] Here I come.

- Come right back here.

(Jack panting)

What on earth are you doing,

going into the forest by yourself?

- I wasn't alone, the butterfly was with me.

- Son, it's dangerous for you to wander off

the path we cut.

You could lose your way.

- Maybe it would be more fun for you

to walk with Becca.

What do you think?

- Yeah!

- Good.

(birds chirping)

- (squeals) Stop pulling me!

- No wandering away, Jack.

- I'm not walking with you.

Mom, Becca's a bully.

- Hmph. Children.

What's a person to do?

- Don't be mad at your sister, Jack.

She just doesn't want you to get lost

looking for butterflies.

- What about grasshoppers, Mommy?

They're pretty.

- They certainly are.

- So I can chase them, Mommy?

Can I?

- Wait until we get there to catch things, all right?

- All right.

(slow trumpet music)

- Hurray, we're here at last.

- Yay! - Yay!

(Fritz laughs)

(Becca and Jack laugh)

- Are all of those plants sugar cane, Ernest?

- That's right, Anna.

Enough to keep everybody's sweet tooth happy.

- [Jack] There's a lot of 'em!

(Fritz grunts)

- Here.

- Hmm?

- Here, try licking it.

- Ah, mmm!

It's great!

Mmm, it tastes just like sugar.

- It's pretty tough.

- (laughs) You seem to be a little off target, Jack.

- It's easy.

(slurping)

- It's wood candy.

(slurping)

- It's going to take a bit of work

to get all of these cut down, isn't it Ernest?

- We won't need all of them, dear.

It's starting to get a bit dark.

We should set up camp and start work in the morning.

(soft music)

(grunts)

- [Mother] Do you remember how frightened I was

when we first landed here?

- Certainly do.

It seems there was always another

savage beast to scare you.

- Of course, I'm much calmer these days.

- I was never afraid of animals or monsters.

- I guess both of us are brave now.

- [Becca] You're not scared of monsters?

- Of course not, Becca.

I'm not scared of anything anymore.

- What if they have horrible faces, like this?

(screams)

- (gasps) Becca, please don't do that!

(Becca laughs)

You scared me to death.

(Becca laughs) (Mother sighs)

(Fritz and Father groan)

- I'm certainly happy that we had a peaceful night.

- Yes, it seems to be a pretty quiet area.

- The soil is certainly fertile here.

Much better than back on the beach.

- Why don't we move up here and be

near the sugar cane?

- If we live this far from the beach, how'd

we ever know if a ship landed?

- Yes, our only chance of being rescued

is to stay near the sea.

- I guess you're right.

But being marooned doesn't seem so bad

with sugar nearby. Mmm, mmm.

(playful music)

- I don't see anything pretty that I can collect.

Oh, no seashells at all.

- [Father] There we are.

- I don't get it.

How do we get the sugar out?

- We're going to have to crush them all into a pulp.

- Seriously?

Oh. - Want to help?

- I don't know how.

- Well, the first thing we do is to

hollow out a tree stump.

(Father grunts)

- [Becca] I still don't understand how it works.

- [Father] Be patient, Becca.

You'll see.

(grunts)

Bring me the bucket, please.

- All right.

- Thanks, right here's fine.

(grunts)

There, that sits in perfectly.

Now Fritz, how are you doing?

- [Fritz] All set, Father.

- Good.

Be careful, Becca.

Don't stand too close to the stump.

- Oh!

- All right Fritz, you can tie it down there.

- [Fritz] Right.

- [Father] Nice and tight now.

- Do you understand what they're doing?

- Yes, dear.

It's simple.

- Explain it to me then, Mother.

- You'll understand faster by watching.

- [Fritz] I'm all set, Dad!

- Now Becca, put some of the

cut sugar cane on the stump.

- All right, Father.

- Here's a few.

(Becca grunts)

- Place them right in the center, please.

Right.

(Father and Fritz grunt)

Now keep your eye on the bucket, Becca.

- Oh, hey!

Juice!

Juice is coming out.

- Hey, it worked!

(Father and Fritz grunt)

- It's coming out!

It's coming!

Oh, there's no more.

It only made a bit of sugar.

- It'll take a lot to fill it.

We need more canes.

- Right.

- Mommy!

I caught one Mommy, I did!

Wait 'til you see how pretty he is.

He's the prettiest one in the whole forest.

- It must be a butterfly.

- I need something to put him in

so he doesn't escape.

- Let's see it.

- No peeking! - Give it!

(Becca and Jack gasp)

- See what you did!

(Mother screams)

- It's a horrible reptile!

Take it away!

- Huh?

(screams)

I can't stand him!

Take him away, take him away!

(cries)

- Huh? - Huh?

- Now my good friend has run away

because you two scared him by screaming.

- Huh? - Huh?

I thought he stuck in your net.

- Sorry Jack, but I just wasn't expecting

to see a lizard.

- He was so hard to catch.

I want my lizard, he's my treasure!

(cries)

- Want me to help you, Jack?

I'll catch you an even prettier treasure.

Would that be all right?

- (sniffles) Uh huh.

- Come back here, you!

Hey, slow down!

(cheerful music)

Stop!

- You're not supposed to swing the net so hard.

You're not being careful.

- I know exactly what I'm doing.

Don't be a worry wart.

(screams)

- Oh.

- That smarts.

- Now my net's broken.

- I'm sorry.

But don't cry, okay?

(Jack cries)

- Tired, Fritz?

- I sure am, Dad.

- You've earned a rest, son.

Hmm?

Did you have any luck, Becca?

- The net got smashed up a bit.

- Ah, yes, I'm afraid this net has had it.

- Me too.

The butterfly got away and I almost

broke my nose.

Is that the sugar, Mom?

It's a funny color.

Doesn't seem a bit like sugar.

- Of course not.

First sugar needs a little refining,

then it turns white.

- You mean this is brown sugar?

- That's right, so you'd better be careful

not to eat any.

- Why, Fritz?

- It might get under your skin.

You wouldn't want any more brown freckles

than you've got already, would you Becca?

(Father and Fritz laugh)

- Very funny.

- (giggles) Now stop that, Fritz.

Looks like it's about done.

- Is it really?

Could I try some of it?

It's thick like soup.

- It's still a bit hot.

- Becca can have first taste.

- All set?

- Yeah.

- [Fritz] Don't burn yourself.

- (blows) Mmm, it's great!

It's worth getting freckles.

(Fritz and Mother chuckle)

- I got to give some to Jack.

Jack?

Where on earth have you run off to, Jack?

I hope he hasn't gone and got lost.

Ah, there you are.

I got some brown sugar.

You can have some.

Want to lick some off?

- No Becca, I'm very busy.

- I'm serious, Jack.

I'll share some of it with you.

He's the strangest kid I've ever seen

in my entire life.

Imagine being too busy to want sugar.

(soft music)

- Oh Ernest, should I keep watch for awhile dear?

- No Anna, that's all right.

- How about some nice sugar water then?

- Oh, that would be delicious dear.

(rustling)

- Huh? Oh!

(screams)

- Huh, what?

- Something was moving in that shirt.

- Hmm.

What is it?

- It's something Jack brought back with him.

Oh Ernest, what if it's a snake or even a lizard?

- Be calm.

- Please be careful, Ernest.

- Don't worry, dear.

Jack wouldn't have brought back anything dangerous.

I wouldn't be concerned.

(Mother sighs)

- Ha, take a look at this!

- He brought a baby bird back with him.

- Right.

When Jack found it, he thought of it as

just a pretty egg to be collected.

Jack didn't realize an egg has to hatch.

(Mother giggles)

(chirping)

- It's the cutest thing!

- Yeah, I've never seen a bird that just hatched before.

- Huh?

- What should we do with it Ernest?

- Hey, we could keep him.

He could live with us.

- That's impossible.

We can't take care of a little baby chick.

- I could catch worms for him to eat.

- Finding food isn't the question, Becca.

A chick needs to be with its parents.

Some animals can take care of themselves

right after they're born, but not birds.

See Becca, they need to be with grown up birds

who will teach them how to fly.

- I understand.

- Father's right.

Maybe we should think about how to get

this little fellow back home to his nest.

- See Jack, the birdy needs to go home.

- All right.

But how did the little bird get here from its nest?

- (in unison) Huh?

- Wait, Jack.

Didn't you bring that egg back from the forest yesterday?

- Yep.

I brought it home 'cause it was the prettiest.

I couldn't find any more shells or any more

lizards or butterflies.

Maybe the little birdy saw me and decided

he'd like to follow me home.

- Oh no, he came out of the egg.

(everyone giggles)

- Well Jack, I guess you never thought

it'd might hatch.

Now, can you show us just where you

found the egg?

- All right.

- Well, this certainly seems to be the right spot.

(grunts)

Your brother's here.

(chirping)

He's back home now, safe and sound.

- He's all right now.

- Mhmm.

(happy music)

- [Fritz] It's lucky that egg didn't break

when it fell out of the tree.

- Silly Jack.

He finds an egg on the ground and doesn't

know there's a baby bird in it.

- You shouldn't make fun of him, Becca.

He's still little.

He can't be expected to know about everything.

- All he wants are his treasures.

- Hmm.

- [Becca] Jack come on, you're falling behind.

(Jack panting)

You better hold hands with me so you don't get lost.

Huh? Stop wiggling.

(screams)

Huge lizard!

(screams)

Get rid of that horrible thing!

I hate it, Jack!

- He's pretty, not horrible.

Come on, make friends.

- [Becca] Save me, Mommy! (Jack giggles)

Get away from me with that thing!

(Jack and Becca yell)
