- [Becca] It was a beautiful dry day when Mother sent me

and Jack back to the tree house to fetch a pot.

We thought it was just a boring errand,

boy were we in for a surprise.

Uh oh, is this place torn up!

Well there's the pot.

This is strange. - [Jack] Huh? Sure is.

Somebody's been playing chess.

- [Becca] But that's impossible.

I saw Mom straighten up before we left here.

Jack this can mean one thing,

somebody else got into our home!

- [Jack] Mommy! Mommy! - [Becca] Mother! Mother!

- [Becca] Something terrible has happened!

- [Jack] Mommy come quick!

- What are you two so upset about?

- Mother it was awful!

- Tell me what happened, did you lose that pot?

- That's got nothing to do with it.

Where's Dad now?

- [Father] What's going on Becca?

- Oh Daddy our house is all messed up,

somebody broke in and threw our things all over the place!

- Really?

- Mom didn't you pack up all our stuff

and put it away before we left?

- Yes, as a matter of fact you helped me.

We stored everything so it would be neat when we returned.

- That's what I thought but now it's all messed up!

- Oh!

(Fritz laughing)

- Maybe they were monsters

or something else from your dream world.

To listen to you, one would think that this island

was inhabited by monsters, strange beasts and little men!

- But Fritz I didn't make this up,

the place was a mess, I'm serious, isn't that right Jack?

- Somebody's been playing chess in the house Mom!

(Mother gasps) - Ernst!

- I'll just go take a look.

- [Becca] See Dad I wasn't making it up, see Dad!

- [Father] Yes I see.

And the house looked like this when you came in?

- Yes Dad, we didn't mess it up

or anything, really I promise.

Then I thought someone was still here so we ran out.

- Maybe it's an animal that can climb trees?

- That's possible, I won't rule anything out.

- That's strange, there ought to be

plenty of ripe melons here ready to eat.

- [Becca] That night we all sat around the dinner table

trying to figure out the mystery.

- You know Anna this is the same time of year that

our boat ran into that storm and went down.

It's not impossible the same thing

might happen to someone else.

From now on I'll keep an eye out

for survivors on the island.

- Father I'm sure it's an animal and not a man.

The only storm we had recently wasn't that bad

and if it was a survivor by now

we'd probably would have seen him.

Don't you think so Dad?

- Mmm hmm.

- I don't, what if he were sick

and couldn't call out for help

or what if he were injured and couldn't move around?

- But if he couldn't move,

how did he get into our house and wreck it?

- That's true.

- Right and with all the rain we've had,

you'd think he'd want to stay dry indoors,

just like we have for so long.

- That's it! He lives in a cave!

- Alright that's enough, now Fritz you

and I will keep a close look out.

Maybe there is someone here and maybe there isn't.

Let's stop guessing till we find out.

(light soft music)

- Beautiful day isn't it? You can see for miles.

- Great, it appears the rainy season's over, aye Fritz?

- Mmm hmm.

- If a ship sank out there we ought

to see some sign of debris.

- [Fritz] What do you see out there Father?

- [Father] Nothing yet. Maybe over this way.

- Hey Becca do you really think he'll show up?

- I'm almost positive Jack,

he was here at least once before,

he's got to come back.

They always return to the scene of the crime.

- Fritz I'm sure it was no animal that did this.

Only a man would take the whole melon,

an animal would have left traces, like the rind.

- But a wild boar could have eaten

seeds, rind and everything.

- Mmm hmm, that's what I was thinking at first too son,

a wild boar might have done this

but only a man with a knife could make a cut this clean.

- Then it is a man!

- I think we should keep a close

watch on this garden of ours, I believe he'll be back.

In fact I think it's certain that he will.

(soft dreamy music)

- Father?

- Oh you're not going to go out now are you?

- Sorry dear but Fritz

and I have to keep an eye on the field.

- Ahhh!

- Do you really need to take your rifle?

- Just to be safe, no one will be hurt

but I'm not sure what we might find.

Anyway if Fritz is right and it is a boar,

we'll have a nice dinner.

- [Mother] Really?

- You said it Dad, with all of our melons in him,

he'd have to be the largest pig in the whole world!

- Yes well just be careful out there, will you please?

- [Father] We will, don't worry.

- Father I want to come! (Mother gasps)

I can help you both keep a sharp lookout!

- You'll do no such thing! - [Becca] Oh Mom!

- Becca not tonight, mind what your Mother says.

- Be a good girl Becca!

- Oh rats! But girls are never allowed

to do the really exciting stuff.

(Father laughs)

- We'll be back soon.

- [Mother] You two be careful now!

- [Becca] I'm going to look tomorrow during the daytime.

- [Father] Alright Becca.

- I wonder who the new survivor is?

Hey! Maybe it's a girl Mom!

- Perhaps but I doubt that very strongly.

You remember what your Father said, didn't you Becca?

There was no sign of anyone landing a raft on the beach.

- Well it's possible to wash up on the beach.

- I suppose being washed ashore is a possibility,

but not for a little girl like you,

it would probably have to be a big strong sailor.

- Just what we need, another man.

- Well it's possible. Come on in I'll fix you a snack.

- [Becca] Oh thanks Mom.

- Sure is dark tonight, isn't it Dad?

- Sure is we'll have to stay close

to the field to see anything.

- What do you really think of all this Father?

I mean are you worried about it?

- No, as a matter of fact, it would be nice to have

some company around here for a change.

It might cause friction to have more people with us.

It's hard for people to get along in a tense situation

but I think it would be good and it might

increase our chances of getting away.

- If we had a couple of men to help us we could

probably build a large seaworthy boat.

- That's right.

(light bright music)

(Brewster yawning)

- Not now Jack, I have to sleep some more.

I wonder if Dad's back? Dad! Oh Dad!

Dad! Oh! Dad!

Dad, where are you?

Mom, did Dad and Fritz find anyone?

- Don't you say good morning first?

- Good morning, did they see anyone?

- Not a soul, not even a field mouse.

- Oh rats! Hey, can I look? In the garden I mean.

- I don't know it could be awfully dangerous,

especially if it's a wild beast Becca.

- Can't be, any animal that eats

melons won't eat people, now would they?

- That's not necessarily so.

- Mom please can I? Pretty please Mother!

- Alright we'll go up there together

after we finish our breakfast.

- Yay I did it, hurray!

- [Mother] Easy children I can't get up

these hills as fast as I used to.

- [Becca] Please hurry up Mom, we're almost there.

- Don't pull me so hard Becca I'm libel to trip!

- Can you run any faster Mother?

- [Mother] Let me rest.

- Ok but I'm going to run ahead now, bye!

- [Jack] Hey wait for me, that's not fair!

(Mother sighing)

- [Becca] I'll beat you by a mile!

(Becca gasps)

(suspenseful music)

- Huh?

(Becca gasps)

- Who are you? Where did you come from?

Don't be afraid.

(Becca laughs)

Hey wait a minute!

(Jack gasps)

- Yikes!

(Jack yelling with fright)

Mommy help, Mommy!

- You're welcome to have this.

Now what's your name? My name's Becca.

- I'm Tom Tom.

- Hi there, you can really have this melon.

- Hurry, hurry, come on! - [Mother] Alright, alright!

- Come on, Mom come on! - [Mother] Who's here?

Who's here Jack?

(Tom Tom gasps)

- [Jack] There he is!

- Don't worry Tom Tom it's only my Mother.

(Mother gasps)

- It's alright, you're just a little boy aren't you?

You have absolutely nothing to fear from us.

Put the knife down son.

- Yeah put the knife down!

(Jack exclaims with fright)

(Becca gasps)

- It's alright now.

Where did you come from?

Oh, a ship? Right, where's your ship now?

- Tom Tom where's your ship?

Don't you understand Tom Tom?

- Mmm hmm.

- Where is it son, the far side of the island?

- Our boat is gone.

- Oh dear! It sank in that awful

storm we had just the other day?

We went through the same thing.

Thank goodness you survived. You're all alone?

Are there other survivors that you know of?

- Mmm hmm.

- Yeah! How many Tom Tom, how many?

- Just one.

- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

- It's alright.

- Where is this other person now?

- The caves?

(somber music)

- [Becca] And so our new friend Tom Tom

led us to the other survivor from his ship.

We were all anxious about meeting this stranger.

- [Tam Tam] He's inside.

- [Man] Who's out there? Tommy is that you?

- Yes it's me!

- [Man] Is someone with you?

- What's his name Tom?

- Mr. Morton.

(Mother exclaims)

- Mr. Morton?

- [Mr. Morton] Who are you and what do you want?

- [Father] I live here and I'd like to be friends.

My name is Ernst Robinson. My family and I were shipwrecked

and we've been here for quite some time.

- You shouldn't enter somebody's

house without their permission.

(Mr. Morton groans)

- Let me help you with that.

Looks like you took quite a blow.

- Get away from there! What do you think you're doing?

- I'm a doctor Mr. Morton.

- Oh, a doctor huh?

- Yes. Let me take a look at this wound.

- There's really no point in making a fuss.

Who are these people, they with you?

- I'd like you to meet my family Mr. Morton.

My wife, Anna, our children Fritz, Jack and Becca.

I won't beat around the bush Mr. Morton,

you've got a compound fracture and it's infected.

We simply must operate.

Fritz I need you to get my instrument bag please.

- Yes sir!

- Hey boy! Save yourself the trouble.

I don't need any help from any of you.

Well young lady, why do you keep staring at me for huh?

(Becca gasps)

- It's just I haven't seen another person in awhile

and I'm happy about it.

- Yeah? Well I was happy when I thought

this was an uninhabited island

but now that I know there's people here I feel differently.

(Mother and Becca gasp)

- [Becca] I guess Mr. Morton was just nervous

about the operation, I know I was.

- Alright Anna, you and Fritz hold

Mr. Morton down good and tight now.

- Right.

- Hey what are you -

- Please lie still now Mr. Morton.

Unfortunately we have no anesthetic.

- I don't care, I would let you use it even if you had some.

I don't get my courage from a drug,

I'll stay quiet without it!

- I'm glad, that'll be a big help.

- Mr. Morten, please bite down on this.

- Not a chance! Just fetch me a glass of wine!

- Sorry, we don't have any wine.

- No whiskey or nothing?

I gotta stay sober while you poke around on my leg!

- That's why I suggest you use this.

It'll keep you from biting your tongue

and make you feel much more comfortable Mr. Morton.

- Please comply with my wife's request Mr. Morton.

As it happens she's quite an excellent nurse.

- Bite down, here.

- We're ready to begin.

What we're about to do is going to leave a scar

but I'm sure you'll be able to

walk as well as ever afterward.

(Mr. Morton groans)

- He hasn't even touched you yet.

- No?

(Becca giggles)

Becca, I'd prefer it if you didn't watch.

- I'm okay Mom.

- I am too.

- Dear, what are your feelings?

- It's alright with me,

she's stuck with us as parents, right Anna?

Might as well learn something.

- Well just don't make any noise

or get in the way you two, promise?

- [Becca] We promise! - [Jack] We promise!

- Fritz I'm counting on you to hold him down good and tight.

Are you ready Anna?

- Ready.

(Mr. Morton groans)

(Mr. Morton writhing in pain)

Easy.

(Mr. Morton groaning in pain)

(suspenseful music)

- [Becca] I had never seen an operation before

and I thought it would be interesting,

but after awhile I started to feel kind of dizzy.

I just couldn't watch.

- Hey Becca are you alright?

- Yes.

(Becca sighs)

(Mr. Morton groaning loudly)

- Ernst he has passed out!

- That's alright it makes this easier for all of us.

Hey son, are you alright?

- Sure I'm fine.

- [Jack] Hey Mercedes, come back here with that!

Come back here I told you! You're a bad girl!

Hey stop, will you?

You better give it back! Hey!

Mom told you to stop teasing me,

now give it back before I tell!

- How's our patient doing now Anna?

- He hasn't awaken since the operation.

- Really? In addition to everything else

he's suffering from malnutrition.

Let's make it a point to give him some

light food as soon as he wakes up.

- I'll make some clear broth.

- Did you happen to notice how upset Becca got

while she was watching us perform the operation?

- It's normal. After all, she's just a little child.

I'll tell you what surprised me today,

the way Jack watched but didn't even bat an eye.

- Right. I don't think it means he's tougher,

I think it was just beyond his comprehension.

But Fritz did a good job, didn't he?

- Yes, the apple doesn't fall very

far from the tree does it?

- It's a good thing he's going to

be a musician when he grows up,

did you see how nervous he was?

(Father laughs)

- Yes I sure did. I wonder, do you think Tom Tom

and Mr. Morten are the only two survivors from their ship?

- He never said how many people were aboard the boat.

Well for the time being we have two brand new companions.

- Yes, this man here is a rather difficult

companion to please, wouldn't you say?

- I know but I think it's just fear,

because of that wound he's been unable to walk.

When he's on his feet again he'll be a new man.

- [Anna] You're probably right dear.

(soft light music)

- [Anna] Dinner's ready, everyone to the table!

Oh hello, you're just in time for dinner.

Come and join us Tom Tom.

What are you waiting for? Come on dear.

- No thank you.

- Come along Tom Tom, you're more than welcome to join us.

Becca bring Tom Tom over to the table please.

- [Becca] Alright.

Dinner's ready, come to the table.

That's not nice come on, let's go!

- No thanks!

Hey, no thank you!

Oh, alright.

- You can sit right here Tom Tom.

Go on, sit down.

- We'd be honored to have you join us for dinner,

so there's no reason for you to be shy around us.

- Come on and sit down.

- Here you go, eat it all up now.

- Well Tom Tom, Mr Morten's resting comfortably.

Were you concerned about him?

- Here you are dear.

- Thank you.

- Mr Morten, it's time to eat something.

I hope you're feeling better after your long sleep.

Now it's time to get your strength up by

eating something nutritious, here you go.

(Mr. Morten grunts)

(Mother gasps)

- I'm sorry but I don't like to be treated like a baby!

I'm a grown man with two hands!

- Very well you can feed yourself then.

Let's sit up now. - [Mr. Morton] Don't touch me!

Hey Tommy, come over here and help me!

- Alright.

- Here you are. Please do eat and I hope you enjoy it.

- Do you have to stare at me while I eat?

- Oh! I'm terribly sorry,

I'll let you eat in peace Mr. Morton.

Will you bring back the bowl?

- Alright, I'll wait for it Mom.

- You're very brave and very strong.

(Mr. Morton slurps)

Yes because you're able to just

fall asleep during the operation.

- I fell asleep? Oh yes, of course I didn't want to worry

about things like an operation.

(Tom Tom laughs)

- My sister got frightened just watching it happen you know?

- Well I never in my life saw such a serious operation.

(Mr. Morten laughs)

- Did you feel any pain?

- No I just slept like a baby, no problem.

- What? My Mom said you had passed out.

- Huh?

Course not, why I can go to sleep at any time and any place.

If you can't do that then you're not a good sailor

and they'll laugh you right off the ship!

(Mr. Morton slurping)

More. - Of course.

- [Becca] This is how Mr. Morten

and Tom Tom came to live with us.

They were kind of hard to get to know

but it sure was exciting to have guests.

Life on our little island was getting

more interesting all the time.
