Slow Swimming, slow Swimming.
Hi Teacher Harriet.
Hi Miss Elaina.
- Hi.
- I'm a slow turtle.
(all giggling) Oh... Look at this green box!
It kind of looks like...
Teacher Harriet, can I use this box to be my turtle shell, please?
- Oh, of course!
Here, let me help you.
There you go, Daniel-turtle.
- Whoa!
I like my shell!
Thanks!
- Wow!
You really look like a turtle now!
- Uh-huh!
Ok, I've gotta go back to my slow swimming.
Bye!
- Bye, Daniel!
- Glub, glub, glubbedy glub.
(Prince Wednesday laughing) - Royally cool box, Daniel!
Why is it on your back?
- I'm a slow turtle, swimming in the sea!
(Daniel giggling) - You are?
OK. Well...
I'm a silly... clownfish!
- Blub, blub, boop-she-blub!
- That's funny!
- I'm the silliest clownfish in the sea!
Follow me!
- OK... - Blub, blub, blub!
- Glub, glubbedy glub, glub.
- Blub, blub, blub.
- What are you playing, meow meow?
- I'm a silly, fast clownfish!
- And I'm a slow swimming turtle.
- Ooh, I want to play!
I'm a... a... squiggly wiggly octopus!
Wiggle, meow meow!
Wiggle, wiggle!
- Blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub.
Swim, swim!
- Glubbedy glub.
- Blub, blub, blub.

- Octopus wants to wiggle with her turtle and fishy friends, meow meow!
Wiggle!
Wiggle, wiggle!
- Hey... Woah.
I don't like that.
- Faster, octopus, faster!
Blub, blub, blub.
- Wiggle!
Wiggle!
Wiggle!
- Blub, blub, blub, blub, blub!
- Um... - Wiggle!
Wiggle!
Wiggle!
- Blub, blub, blub!
- Let's slow down this wiggling for a minute and talk with our friends.
Daniel, do you like this game?
- No, I don't.
- Oh!
Sorry.
- You don't?
- No.
I didn't like wiggling so fast.
- But Daniel, that's how the game goes.
We were playing squiggly wiggly octopus!
- I want to be a slow turtle today, not wiggly fast.
- I thought it was fun!
- Not everyone likes to play the same way all the time.
Sometimes, you might want to play fast... but right now, Daniel wants to play slowly and gently.

Sorry, Daniel.
I thought we were having fun.
I didn't know you wanted me to be gentle.
- Yeah, me neither.
- It's OK. - I wonder if you can think of a way to be gentle, and be a wiggly octopus... - Can we play gently like this, meow meow?
Wiggle... wiggle... slow and gentle.
- Wiggle, wiggle, slow and gentle.
- Better, meow meow?
- Yes.
Thanks, Katerina.
- You're welcome.
