- [Voiceover] When we built the tree house

for our island home,

the one thing we hadn't counted on

was how hard it would rain.

We were fortunate to find this cave for shelter.

- Morning, mother!

- [Mother] Oh, good morning Fritz.

(laughter)

(baby babbling)

- Boy, the storm hasn't let up at all, has it?

- [Mother] It's been constant.

- Huh?

Why all the buckets?

Uh, Father, may I ask what you're doing?

- Well I'm just collecting rainwater, Fritz.

- Oh.

Why do we need that much rainwater?

- I think that you'll agree this is much easier

than walking all the way back to the treehouse

for water and we're not near a river.

- Right.

I forgot about our well.

There's no convenient water around here.

- Oh, there's my new roommate!

(groaning)

I must've slept so well because I have my own room now.

I bet if we stayed here, I'd sleep good every night.

(grunting)

(grunting)

(shouting)

Hmm?

Oh, I'm sorry for startling you, Beatrice.

Won't you please say good morning?

There.

How are you this morning?

(laughing)

Huh?

Beatrice?

Oh please, anyone knows you're supposed to knock

before entering a lady's room.

- I'm sorry, Becca,

but you don't even have a door to knock on.

- That doesn't matter, use the wall!

Hmm!

- Oh, this is ridiculous.

Hello, knock knock!

- Just a minute!

- Becca, I just wanted to see if you...

- I haven't answered the door!

- Well, silly me walking through

an unopened door.

Knock knock.

- Yes?

- It's your brother, Fritz.

Can I come in?

- The door is open.

Please enter.

(sighing)

- It's about time.

It's so good of you to see me today, Becca.

- Think nothing of it, Fritz.

Did you get the order

to bring breakfast?

- Don't push it, Becca!

(giggling)

(gasping)

Oh, it's just a bat.

It startled me.

- She's my new roommate.

- You two are friends?

I didn't catch her name.

- I call her Beatrice.

I found her in my room last night

when I came to bed.

What was it you wanted?

- You, Becca.

Everybody else is ready to have breakfast.

So I came in to wake you up.

- I'm missing breakfast?

Shouldn't have been sleeping.

(slurping)

- Well, Becca, dear,

tell us how you slept last night.

- I slept really great.

I'm sure everybody else

slept better without the rain coming in

and getting our beds wet.

- No doubt about it. - Mm-hmm.

- So you wouldn't mind staying here

for a while?

- Not at all, Father.

- Well, the cave might provide

adequate protection from a rain storm,

but it's almost impossible to read a book

in the daytime.

- Huh?

But if we burn the candles in every room

all day long,

we'll run out of the candles in no time.

- I have a plan, but it will take everybody's cooperation.

We'll divide up the candles,

one per day in each room.

It will be up to each of us

to make the candle last.

And I'll see about making torches

for the front of the cave.

- Ah!

After we put torches everywhere,

the place will look like a palace!

(laughing)

- A palatial cave!

Actually, I don't want to burn the whole forest down,

I just want to make the candles go farther.

- Oh, well, no palace.

- [Jack] Did you like your breakfast, Mercedes?

(squeaking)

That's good.

May I have some more water please, Mom?

- [Becca] Me too, please!

- I'm afraid there isn't any right now.

- That's right.

We've all had our one cup.

- What do you mean?

We can only have one cup of water?

- We will be having more water shortly.

When the buckets are full.

- Huh?

- She means those buckets I put in the rain.

It's our closest source of water.

So be patient, they'll be full soon.

- All right.

- I hope it's not too much longer.

I wouldn't mind another drink, myself.

- Oh, I have an idea!

Let's look in Mr. Bates' diary.

It might tell us how he got water.

- You might have something there, Becca.

May we look at it, Father?

- Why, yes, of course.

I'll be interested in hearing his experience.

- All right, let's see.

Hmm.

Mmm.

Made further exploration of the island today,

found gourd-shaped fruit and divided one up.

The center was full of black seeds.

It was fairly delicious.

- Mr. Bates is describing the same type of fruit we eat.

Let's see!

- Ow, Becca!

Be careful with that candle, will you?

- Sorry about that, Fritz.

- Later, found a plant that resembled a sweet potato.

Dug up the root,

boiled and ate it.

Very bitter taste.

I will look for other vegetables.

- That's silly.

Mr. Bates probably didn't even peel it.

And the potato has...

- I would appreciate it

if you stopped interrupting!

- Oh.

- Let's see.

Caught a fish today.

My first one.

I made a fire,

and had roast fish for dinner.

- All he writes about is eating fish and sweet potatoes.

Isn't there anything interesting?

- It's about survival.

Food's pretty interesting when you're hungry.

I'll try to find something

that doesn't have anything to do with eating.

Uh, what does this say?

Move the light in a little closer, please.

Hmm, uh, help, I yelled help for hours.

- Why was he yelling?

- Let me read.

Uh, I shouted until I had no voice left.

And then continued to call out in a whisper,

but they sailed on and took all my hope.

- I don't understand.

Do you know what he was talking about?

- Yes, he saw a ship,

just like we did, and he called after it

but it didn't come back for him.

- Oh.

It was sad to be reminded about the time

we almost got rescued,

but we had each other.

Mr. Bates had to go through it alone.

(sweet music)

Poor Mr. Bates.

- When are we gonna have the water story?

- Oh, I'm sorry.

There doesn't seem to be anything about water in here, Jack.

- No, huh?

I came in here for water.

Mother!

Are the buckets full yet?

- Jack has such a big imagination.

- Oh Jack's isn't the biggest one.

How about a cave with an invisible door?

- That's acting polite!

You don't know anything

about how ladies are treated!

Hmm!

- Hmm, right.

But is that the face of a lady?

(groans)

(growling)

- Sometimes that Fritz makes me so mad!

Huh?

I wonder where she went to.

Beatrice! Beatrice!

Oh!

Mother, Mother!

Have you seen my friend the bat anywhere?

- A bat?

Are there bats inside here?

- Just my new roommate.

Her name is Beatrice.

She's really friendly.

- I haven't seen her.

- Oh well.

Thanks.

- I hate the thought of those bats!

(grunting)

- Oh, I guess I can find another roommate to stay with.

Huh?

Beatrice!

Where have you been hiding this morning?

You look like you appeared right out of the wall!

Oh! There's a hole in the wall!

I can't see a thing on the other side.

Oh!

(crumbling)

Hmm. It looks like I found another cave!

Ooh!

(grunting)

Oh!

What's that?

(shouting)

I thought I saw someone.

(giggling) Well, time for a candle.

(humming)

- Becca, you're going to study today, aren't you?

- Huh?

Yes.

Studying, that's what I'm doing.

(laughing)

- Hmm.

I don't think caves are good for her.

- Well, here we go!

Oh!

Ooh!

Hello! (giggling)

- Mother, I think the rain's letting up.

- Oh, good!

Now your father can go gather those materials

for the torches.

- Oh!

This sure is a big cave!

Mm! It's also a very cold one.

Oh!

What a large chamber!

Oh!

There's a whole group of them.

These must all be friends of my Beatrice.

Huh.

Oh!

Hey, stalactites!

Oh!

Huh?

Oh!

(grunting)

Oh!

(bats squeaking)

Oh!

They sure make a lot of noise.

Hmm.

(grunting)

A light!

Maybe it's another opening.

I'm tired of the dark.

Hey!

It's beautiful in here!

Wow!

It's a museum of rock art.

Ceiling fresco,

tapestry,

sculpture.

Oh, Father has to see this!

He will love it!

He's going to...

Hey! Wait a minute!

It's a stream in a cave! (laughing)

(water running)

It seems to just come out of the rocks.

The water's clear enough.

Oh! Ugh!

Cold water!

Um.

(slurping)

Ah!

Boy, will everybody be surprised

when I tell them I found water!

And it's only a short walk away!

Hmm.

I wonder if I can.

(grunting)

Hello?

Yoo-hoo!

While I was off exploring my new discovery,

the rain stopped.

That meant that everyone could walk around

outside for a bit,

and get something to eat if they wanted to.

- Sampling a bit of the local cuisine, I see.

Father, can I give you a hand with that?

- [Father] Thanks, but I've got it, Fritz.

(humming)

- Hey!

My candle!

Oh!

How am I going to find my way back to the cave?

I'll make it somehow.

I can do it.

I'll just feel my way along the wall.

Besides, it wasn't that far.

I hope.

Hmm.

It's too dark.

I'm not sure if I can do this.

(grunting)

- [Jack] Here, Mommy, here's another one.

- [Mother] Thank you, darling.

- [Fritz] Hey Jack, I've got some more.

Do you want them or should I take them?

- [Jack] No, Fritz, they're mine!

I wanna carry them!

- [Fritz] All right, here.

- How are the torches, dear?

- I think pine branches will work fine for now.

(grunting)

- I'm not sure I'm gonna get out of this cavern!

(sniffling)

Hmm.

Is there anybody there?

(gasping)

(growling)

Father!

Mother!

(crying)

(bats squeaking)

(whimpering)

Ah!

Ah, what's that?

(grunting)

Hello?

(gasping)

Oh no!

(whimpering)

(growling)

Ah, help!

(ominous music)

(screaming)

Help me, Mama!

Help me, help me, Mama!

(crying)

(panting)

Go away!

(crying)

Oh go away, please go away!

(screaming)

I want my Mama!

Please don't hurt me, go away!

(dog barking)

(crying)

Huh?

Hmm?

Brewster?

Brewster!

Oh!

Am I ever glad you came along!

Brewster, you didn't bark when you were coming at me.

If you had made some noise or something,

I wouldn't have been so scared.

(barking)

(gasping)

Whew!

I'm famished.

- Ah, great!

- You're to be commended, young lady,

for discovering this to everyone's benefit.

- Thanks! - Ah!

- And imagine such a beautiful place underground.

It's just amazing.

I've never seen anything like it before

in my entire life.

- If this were only in Switzerland,

this cavern would be known all over Europe.

- And at the mouth of it,

there'd be a statue of Rebecca Robinson,

discoverer of the cavern.

- Oh, I'm flattered.

(giggling)

- [Jack] May I have some more water, please?

- Yes, you may dear.

- All right, that's enough!

- I'd like a refill, please.

- Sure.

- [Father] While you're pouring.

- Well, we seem to be having a run on water.

- We should all be very careful

not to waste water.

- It's not a waste to drink it.

Besides, we now have an abundance of water.

- [Mother] Here you are.

- Ah, thank you!

- [Mother] You're welcome.

- Did you ever see abundance go so fast?

I don't get it.

I discover the new cave,

I explore the whole thing alone

I find the stream,

and now I'm in charge of getting the water.

They seem to forget

this is the Becca Robinson cave and waterworks.

(laughing)

One bucket of abundant water coming up!

(grunting)

Whew!

(snapping)

Huh?

Oh!

Huh?

(plodding)

Oh!

(panting)

Maybe it was an animal or something.

But it sure looked like a man to me.

I better tell Father right away!

The news that I might've seen someone

running in the cave

did not sit very well with my family.

- Well, Becca?

- I know what I saw!

It was a man, I'm sure of it!

- Mm-hmm. - [Becca] I think.

- And you say it was running away from you.

- I guess maybe I startled him or something getting water.

- But why did he run away?

- [Becca] Huh?

- I mean, you didn't do anything threatening.

- No.

- I know, maybe it was Mr. Bates' ghost

running away.

- Fritz, you're going to scare Jack.

You know there's no such thing as ghosts.

- I didn't mean to scare anyone.

I'm sorry, Mother.

Maybe it was some kind of an animal, Becca.

Maybe it was some kind of monkey.

- Hmm.

- Fritz said later that I was probably tired

from hauling all that water,

but I know I saw something.

Maybe someone else will see it tomorrow,

and put this issue to bed.

(yawning)

Speaking of bed.

- [Mother] Ernest?

- [Ernest] Yes, dear?

- What do you think Becca saw?

- I think she saw a thirsty animal

getting a drink of water.

You'd think a man would try to make contact.

- You're right, dear.

If it's an animal Becca saw,

I don't think it's a good idea

for her to go back in there alone.

- Hmm.

Either Fritz or myself will be responsible

for the water.

- Thank you, that makes me feel better.

- Of course, dear.

- [Mother] Good night, dear.

- [Father] Good night, darling.

(laughing)

- Big blue sky and I can fly!

Ah!

Oh, Mom, I'll bring you some fruit!

- [Mother] I have enough here, thank you.

- Hmm.

♫ Hand and paw ♫

- [Mother] There is something I could use.

- We need to find a candleberry tree?

- We still have enough candles.

This favor will require a short walk.

- Ready!

- When we moved here to the cave,

I only brought along one big pot,

and now I was wondering if you would go back

to the treehouse and bring me my other pot for cooking.

All right?

- Oh, I'm certain I can find it, Mother.

- [Mother] Thank you, Becca.

- [Jack] I wanna go, too!

- Then let's go!

Bye!

Let's take Brewster with us.

- [Jack] Yeah.

- [Becca] Brewster! Brewster!

- Becca, Brewster's not here.

- Where is he?

- He's with your father and Fritz

inside the cave exploring.

You can Jack can go without him this time.

- All right, let's go!

Bye! - Goodbye!

And you both be careful, all right?

- I'll keep an eye on Jack, Mother,

you don't have to worry about me.

- Bye bye!

- [Becca] Take my hand.

- [Jack] Where are we going, Becca?

(squeaking)

- Oh, here, Mercedes.

- [Voiceover] So we started on our way back

to see our old treehouse.

(laughing)

Ah! - Ah!

- Pretty, isn't it, Jack?

Look at the pretty rock I found.

Well, Mother's garden seems to be doing all right.

Do you wanna take some vegetables back?

- Mm-hmm!

- Come on! - [Jack] All right!

One, six.

- Well, here we are.

I know it's only been a few days,

but I'm really glad to see our house again.

- Ah!

- Oh!

- [Jack] What's the matter?

- Ah!

Did you see anything moving over there, Jack?

- No.

- Just a bird.

Or monkey.

(grunting)

Uh-oh.

Is this place torn up.

Good thing we moved to the cave.

Oh well, come on, Jack.

(grunting)

(gasping)

This stuff was packed away.

- Becca, look at the table!

- Huh?

Something's not right here.

The storm would've blown these right off the table.

- Hmm.

- There was someone in the cave,

and someone in the forest just now.

(squawking)

(screaming)

It's all right, Jack.

I wonder who else is living on the island with us,

and why does he keep running away all the time?
