(waves crashing)

- All that hard work and our boat is gone!

- [Voiceover] I'm afraid so, Becca.

Our boat has been severely damaged by the storm.

How will we ever leave the island now?

- [Becca] It was so hard to look at the boat

that Fritz and father worked so long on.

All their hard work destroyed, and now

all our hopes of getting off this island shattered!

I tried to make myself feel better

by at least appreciating the fact that we were all safe

and not sailing during such a violent storm.

Still, I couldn't help wishing we were home

and I don't know how we'll ever get off this island!

- [Father] All of our hard work is

resting at the bottom of the ocean now, I'm afraid.

- [Becca] I just can't believe it, father!

- Hey, I know what! Maybe we could salvage it!

- I'm sorry son, that's just wishful thinking.

(waves crashing)

- Becca look over there by Brewster!

The storm knocked down a whole

bunch of coconuts! Look at these!

That dog, he must like coconuts too!

This is great! Finally we'll be able to eat all we want!

- Let's go show mommy. - Yay!

- Hey, take a look at this piece

of wood! I think it's from the ship!

- Huh? Let me see!

- [Mother] That doesn't seem possible.

- It's the post we use to moor the boat.

- Oh! You're right!

- [Mother] Imagine the strength of the

storm that sank our boat last night! How terrible!

- [Father] You know, we're fortunate it sank.

(gasp)

- If we had left the island on our boat,

we would have all been killed when the first storm hit.

The next boat we build will have to be

sturdy enough to withstand the weather

conditions we will face on the open sea.

- I don't know about that Ernest.

It seems much more risky to try to make our own boat.

- It could work, we just have to find materials

durable enough to weather the strength of the ocean.

Fritz and I will be working on it

until we find something, won't we son?

- Mm hm.

- What a big pile of coconuts! What you got there, Brewster?

- [Becca] We'll probably be sick of coconuts

by the time we finish all of these!

Hey! Where'd you get that bottle, Jack?

Let me see it! - Hey! That's mine!

- There's nothing in it!

- I know! But I still want it back!

- Well, I hoped there'd be a message!

- Becca! Give it back!

- It would be so romantic to find

a note from a handsome prince!

- Come on! Hand it over.

- There! I do wonder how this ended up here.

(dog barking)

- Time to head home! - Jack! Becca! Let's go!

- [Becca] We're coming mom!

- Hey! What about the coconuts?

- [Becca] Don't worry! We'll come and get them later.

- Okay!

- [Becca] It seemed as if it would go on raining forever!

I was grateful that at least we had a roof over our heads.

- [Mother] I don't know how in the world

I'll get able to cook anything

for dinner if the storm keeps up!

- [Becca] Although the rain was starting to make me feel

a bit caged, I think the animals suffered most because

they weren't used to being cooped up inside.

I wasn't used to having all of them indoors either.

The house never seemed so small before.

- [Fritz] This rock must way a ton!

- [Father] Not quite, Fritz.

- [Fritz] It feels like we're almost there.

Mom will be able to cook dinner tonight, after all.

(grunting)

- By that time, we'll have earned it!

- [Fritz] My arms feel like they're two inches longer,

but it'll be worth it if you make your famous chowder mom.

(Mother laughs)

- [Mother] You always know just what to say, Fritz.

- [Father] There, now it's secured.

- [Fritz] Ready?

- [Ernest] One last heave-ho, and we'll have it!

(children laugh)

- [Becca] I think that looks more like a wheel than a stove!

- [Ernest] There you go, Anna.

You can cook till your heart's content.

- Well, what do you think of it?

Would you like to be the one to build the first fire?

- Oh, alright!

- [Ernest] Hey, would you two hurry it up with that fire?

Jack and I are as hungry as bears over here!

- Sure thing! We're just about finished.

- We haven't made a fire indoors

since we were back at our old house.

- This is the first time we've built a fire

on the second story of our house.

I wonder if the food will taste different.

- I doubt it. You have quite an imagination though, Becca.

- [Becca] The fire's ready to go mom!

- [Mother] Thank you! That didn't take long at all!

You must be hungry too!

- [Fritz] Did you already make the chowder mom?

- [Mother] Yes! It'll just take a moment to heat it up.

- Soup's on everyone!

- [Fritz] I would have hauled up six rocks for this chowder!

(slurping)

- Anna, I'll bet you're the only woman I know

who can cook this well so far from civilization.

- Thank you! Although, actually I think

our little treehouse is becoming quite civilized.

- There's not much to do in the rain.

Fritz, do you want to play chess

after we're finished eating?

- Of course! I'd be happy to play with you

if you don't mind losing again.

- You'll regret that, big talker!

- First, I'd like for you to do the

dishes then worry about your game.

(together) Sure!

(laughs)

- [Fritz] This game should be finished in no time.

- I hope that you're right, I want to win first!

- You better start paying attention

instead of boasting so much.

- [Becca] Alright take that!

- Huh? Look at that! I bungled it.

- Look! The rain's finally stopped.

- Do you think it will rain again, dad?

- Who knows, Becca, but I think

I'll go to the woods while I can!

- What for?

- I'm going to gather up the coconuts.

- I'll go!

- [Becca] Are you running away from our game?

- Why of course not!

(laughs)

- I think it's best if I go alone.

I know what you can do, why don't

you gather leaves for the goat!

- Right.

- That's fine with me as long as we leave the game set up.

- Oh alright, I'd probably say

the same thing if I were winning.

- [Becca] While dad and Brewster collected coconuts,

Fritz and I picked leaves for the animals.

We wanted to get as much done as we could before it rained.

- This is sure going to be the easiest

time I've ever had gathering coconuts.

Unfortunately, what was good for me

wasn't good for that tree. Poor thing.

That storm did even more damage than I thought.

- [Fritz] We'll be here all day!

I've only picked enough leaves to feed one goat!

- We'll just have to go faster! Here's a few more Fritz!

- Huh! Not rain again! I think

I should take you home, Becca.

- Let's stay! We don't have enough leaves yet.

We'd just have to come back.

- Alright, but we're going to get soaked!

- It doesn't bother me, it just makes me feel clean!

- Oh, brother!

- It's fun to be out in the rain! I feel quite happy! Ahh!

(dog barks)

- You're right, Brewster. It is time to go home.

- [Fritz] Boy! You must have been starving little fella!

- [Becca] I hope you all appreciate all the time

I spent drying off these leaves for you.

Don't worry, you can eat as much as you want!

Hey Fritz! How's the donkey?

- Hungry! He hasn't come up for air yet.

Are the goats thankful to us for getting sopping wet

just so they could have their dinner?

- I'm sure they'd say that our

little adventure was worth while!

- Me too! Even if we got wet!

- Speaking of getting wet, I'm home!

- You're soaked, dad!

- [Ernest] This is quite a hair raising chess game.

- [Becca] Fritz, it's your turn!

- [Fritz] I know it is!

- I just hope that your clothes are almost dry.

I'm getting cold just looking at you two.

- I don't feel one bit cold!

- It's fun! We can pretend it's summer!

- Yes, Anna, it does feel quite comfortable.

- Oh! You're as bad as they are, really!

- It is summer time, 'cause your shirt's off?

- Since it's a lot warmer in the summer,

you don't need as many clothes, see?

- Oh! I want it to be summer too!

- [Jack] Mercedes will be nice and warm!

(laughs)

- I think Mercedes also wishes it were summer.

- Mom, aren't you warm wearing all those clothes?

Come on! It's summer time!

- I'm really quite comfortable!

(Everyone laughs)

- You know, I really like having the whole family home

together for the afternoon, it's very cozy!

I almost hope it never stops raining!

- [Ernest] Never's a long time, Anna,

but it's nice to be inside with a family.

- [Becca] Check! - Hey! I'm not ready!

- It looks like I'm going to win!

- Oh!

- [Becca] As the storm grew worse,

the wind blew harder and harder until

I thought our house might be blown out of it's tree!

The rain, which had made our home seem so cozy

this afternoon, made it seem spooky at night.

I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep a wink!

Mercedes! Come here! Are you scared?

I wonder how the other animals are.

(donkey neighs)

- [Becca] The storm raged all night long.

I couldn't help but wish we were back in our

old home in Switzerland with its solid foundation.

But when morning came and I saw how beautiful

the rain drops looked glistening in the sun,

I was glad to be continuing our island adventure.

Water sparkles like diamonds in the sun!

- [Ernest] You're observant, Becca, they both reflect light.

- [Anna] Ernest! Ernest! If you'd like to come along,

I'm going to check on how the garden held up in the storm.

- [Ernest] Of course, my dear, I'll go with you!

- I'll go too! - Me too!

- Actually, since it's finally nice out,

I'd appreciate it if you two would

stay and take care of the animals.

- Mm hmm! Alright.

- Well, I guess we'll just have to hope for the best.

What's this! Everything's under water!

- [Ernest] It certainly is a mess.

We'll have to try and salvage what we can.

- The wheat! I spent some much time

trying to grow that wheat, it's just

got to be alright! Oh my, look! It's ruined!

(sheep baaing)

- You have to be patient!

Your mother hasn't eaten for a long time!

So she wants to graze a little longer than usual.

- Be careful! Don't tip the bowl!

You've done it again! The chickens need help!

- What's wrong, Jack?

- They keep knocking their bowl over

into the wet mud! See, look!

- [Becca] The poor things must be starved

if they're eating that wet grain.

Hey, I just thought of a great idea! Come on! Hurry Jack!

It'll be impossible for the chickens

to spill their grain now!

- [Jack] That's a good idea, now they won't spill any!

- [Becca] You know Jack, sometimes I think I'm a genius!

- [Ernest] This is really work, but it'll

be worth it if we save the garden.

- [Fritz] I'm just glad I'm outside again!

I was beginning to get a bad case of cabin fever!

- [Ernest] So that's why you have so much energy.

We'll have this field drained before your mother

has a chance to worry about it. That should be enough.

- Hey, we did it!

It almost looks like a waterfall.

- [Ernest] The water's draining

off the field remarkably fast!

- Look at all the water mother!

- That didn't take very long at all!

Thanks for helping your father,

my vegetables look better already.

- The rain will never be able to destroy our crops again.

- Fields are just a lot of bother.

Seems there's either too much rain

or there's not enough rain.

- That's right, gardens are sensitive to the weather,

but I think they're well worth the trouble.

- [Fritz] I guess you're right.

I know I'm glad we're having melon for dinner.

- [Ernest] That goes double for me!

(water rushing)

- What? Look at those fish!

- [Fritz] I don't understand how

all these fish got on the bridge.

- The fish swam too far upstream

when the river rose during the storm.

Now that the water's gone down they're stranded.

- Well they sure don't look very happy about it.

- I'm sure they're not. Would you be?

- Well no!

- Mm hmm! Unfortunately, the only thing that

would help those fish right now is some more rain.

If the water rises again, then they'll be

able to swim back to the ocean.

- [Fritz] Will it rain again?

- Well, all I know is that seeing all these fish makes

me want to cook some of them for dinner!

I've got one! See if you can get one, Fritz.

- Oh! Take a look at this one!

This turned out to be quite a unique fishing trip.

- The rain did produce an unexpected crop.

- Yes! We'll have to fish on the bridge more often!

- Becca will be awfully mad that

we went fishing without her!

- You lied! Dad you said that you were going to the garden.

You didn't say anything about fishing!

(Fritz laughs)

(Anna laughs)

- Honestly! The only place we went was the garden, Becca.

- I don't know, it's hard for me to believe dad and Fritz

caught these fish with their bare hands.

- It's really true, Becca.

- Oh rats! I wish that I could have gone!

- Me too!

- Hmm. I know!

I'll bet this is just what you needed to cheer you up.

- Ahh!

- [Anna] Now what do you say?

- Thanks a lot mom! - Thank you mother!

- This is great! - I like this fish!

- [Becca] I found it hard to believe

that it rained for three more days.

Thanks to the ditches that dad and Fritz dug,

mom's vegetable garden was alright.

Although, I didn't think I'd be able to stand it

much longer, I was going out of my mind with boredom!

- What's the matter, Becca?

You've been standing here all day.

- Oh, well I'd like to go fishing

if it'd just stop raining for a minute.

- Oh! I see.

Would you be willing to go even if you get soaking wet?

- Huh? Yeah!

- Good! I'm getting tired of staying inside myself.

- Thanks dad! Jack! You want to go fishing with me?

- I sure do!

- Fishing, really? Not in this rain!

- Don't worry, besides I want to go myself!

- Oh Ernest!

- I know why you want to go, it's

because it's so easy to catch fish right now.

- Well, (laughs) you're right Fritz!

I have to admit that is fun to be

able to catch all the fish I want!

(Anna laughs)

- Dad, do you think there's going to be

a lot of fish on the bridge today? Huh!

- I hope so. The odds should be in

our favor, the rain has kept up.

- [Becca] I hope we get even more

fish than you did with Fritz!

- [Ernest] We'll see.

- I don't see a single solitary fish, do you Jack?

- [Jack] Nope.

- Dad, are you positive this is the right place?

- Yes, I'm positive this is the right place.

Ahh! What's this? One fish, and one more.

(Children laugh)

- [Ernest] Alright, I'm going to toss 'em to you!

Hang on! They're slippery!

(Children struggle)

- [Becca] These fish sure are slippery, aren't they?

- Ahh oh!

- Ahh, oh, oh! Quit that!

(laughs)

- Well Becca, I tried to warn you.

- I see what you mean!

- Hah!

- [Ernest] You would have been proud

to see Jack and Becca fishing.

- I'm sure I would, I didn't think

you'd catch this many fish.

- It wasn't easy, but our two fishermen here were determined

not to let the fish get the upper hand!

- So, are you happy now Becca?

- Yes, you know I've been thinking that

the rain has brought us good luck.

- [Ernest] Who'd have guessed it!

(everyone laughs)

- [Becca] The rain continued.

Fritz decided to challenge dad to a game of chess

since he hadn't been triumphant in our last match.

Are you paying attention? It's your turn.

- I know that, but I don't think it's any of your business!

- You're not going to move that one!

- I'll ask you when I want your advice!

- Hey, what's all the commotion about?

You two are making a lot of noise considering

you're not even both playing the same game.

- Anna, what's that? Corn?

- [Anna] Yes, I'm pounding it into flour

so I can make a special treat.

- What are you going to make mom?

- [Anna] Your favorite, cake!

- Cake!

- Why not? I haven't baked a cake in ages!

- Oh how wonderful!

(giggles)

Do you think I could make one, mother?

- I don't see why not.

- Ahh, oh! - [Becca] I can't wait!

- I'll make one also!

- I had no idea we had so many bakers!

Remember, the more you grind the corn,

the lighter your cake will be.

(Crushing corn)

- Mercedes, you can have some as soon as I'm finished.

- Mercedes will eat anything.

- I'm looking forward to having some of this cake myself!

- If it hadn't been for this rain,

who knows when I would have had the chance to make a cake.

I usually have to spend most of my time working outside.

- If it hadn't been for the rain, dad never would

have stopped working long enough to play chess.

- Well, you might be right.

- Now for the second step, are you

ready to add an egg to the batter?

- Yeah! - Sure!

- Mom, be careful, remember the last time

Becca tried to cook poor Brewster couldn't

keep anything down for the rest of the week!

- Cut it out, frog face!

- You cut it out!

- [Becca] And you're not eating any of my cake.

- Alright, I'll just have some of mom's cake instead.

- Oh! I'll have you know my cake's

going to be the best of all.

Actually, making a cake was hard work.

Beating up the egg made my arm so stiff,

I almost considered asking Fritz for help!

Oh!

I went right on stirring, it wouldn't do to

ask for help since Jack wasn't having any trouble.

I kept my strength up by thinking of the

delicious cake we'd soon be eating.

I was definitely relieved, though,

when it was time to pour the batter into

the molds that mom had made out of palm leaves.

We're done! Yay! - Hooray! We made a cake!

- Yay! - Great!

- And now for our final step, we have to

bake our cakes for at least 30 minutes.

- Yay!

(Brewster whines)

- [Anna] Guess what? I think our cakes are ready now!

Back up a little bit please, this is very hot.

They smell so scrumptious, they're making me hungry!

Now let me see, this one's Becca's.

(giggles)

- And this one's Jack's. - Ahh!

- I know I'm ready to have some cake!

- [Becca] At least we were going to be able to eat our cakes.

I could hardly wait to have Fritz

tell me what a good cook I was.

It looks so pretty, I almost hate to eat it!

- Hmm, hmm. Becca, tastes good!

- That's the one I made dad!

- [Ernest] Then, my compliments to the chef!

- Congratulations! - Hm!

- Fritz, please try the one I made.

- Alright, if you think I'll live to tell about it.

- Go ahead! - Here it goes.

- Well?

- This cake tastes like salt!

- You just made that up!

- [Fritz] Try it yourself then!

- Fritz was right!

- Do you think you might have made a mistake

and used salt instead of sugar, Becca?

- Oh, that's what I did!

(everyone laughs)

- Becca's really quite a cook.

- I think you should eat that cake, Fritz.

You know that salt is a preservative and

you deserve at least as much consideration

as the fish we put away for spring.

(Anna laughs)

- Instead, why don't you have a piece of cake I made.

- I know this cake will be good! Thank you mother!

- May I have some too?

- Sure! There.

- I admit it, I'd rather have mom's

cake than mine any old day.

- [Anna] Don't get discouraged though, Becca.

Remember, I've had years of practice.

- Here!

- Mm! And so ended another happy day on the island.

Today I learned it would take a lot more than rain

before I would ever be a good cook!
