I've lost something.
I've lost my box of crayons with all my crayons inside it.
I can't remember where I left the box.
Has that ever happened to you?
Have you ever lost something?
How would it make you feel to lose something?
I'm feeling something.
I don't think I'm mad, I think I'm sad and frustrated.
What should I do?
I could try to forget I lost it or I could go look for it.
Maybe I'll find it.
If I don't find that box of crayons though, at least I know I tried to find it.
Wanna help me look for my missing box of crayons?
Let's see.
Where was I?
I remember I was at the playground a little while ago.
Maybe that's the first place we should look.
Let's go see.
You go first, I'll follow you.
It's that way over there.
To get to the playground, we'll take the path behind my tree.
It goes down to the stream and across the bridge.
There's the stream and there's the bridge.
(birds chirping) We just hop across and here we are at the playground.
(birds chirping) So I need to remember what I did when I was here and look to see if this is where I left my box of crayons.
Okay, I played on the swing set.
(birds chirping) I also played on the seesaw.
(birds chirping) I went on the merry-go-round and I got dizzy, I remember that.
(birds chirping) I don't see where I would've left my crayons though.
I also jumped on the bouncing trampoline three times.
I went really high in the air without flapping my feet.
(trampoline banging) And then there's the yellow slide, I don't think I went on it but I did go down the big mudslide into the water.
Oh, well, I guess we need to go down the mudslide.
You first, I'll be right behind you.
(Derb chuckles) (birds chirping) (water splashes) Here I come.
(water splashes) Well, I didn't find the crayons here so I didn't have my crayon box with me at the playground.
Where else could they be?
Hmm?
Oh, I did visit Berb this morning at his nest.
Maybe I left the box of crayons at Berb's nest.
Let's go check there.
You go on ahead, I'll catch up with you along the path.
I need to get out of this water first.
(water burbles) (birds chirping) Past the trading post, all the way to the bridge that goes to the Great Book.
There's the bridge.
(birds chirping) Berb looks busy.
I don't see my crayon box anywhere.
Where did I leave my box of crayons?
(birds chirping) Hey, wait a minute, I think I remember something.
All the trees around here remind me of something.
I was drawing a tree, a big pine tree with my crayons.
Where was I?
Last time I was drawing was at the schoolhouse.
I think that's where they are.
Tell you what?
I'll meet you at the schoolhouse near the big pond.
I just wanna say a quick hello to Berb before I go.
Meet you at the schoolhouse.
(birds chirping) (birds chirping) Hey, I caught up, I'm right behind you.
To get to the schoolhouse, we go past the trading post again and go up the stairs to our right.
Up those stairs too.
The schoolhouse is at the far end of the big pond.
(birds chirping) There's the schoolhouse, let's go inside.
- Hi, Derb, what brings you to the schoolhouse?
- Oh, hi, Waddle.
Something's missing and I think I might have left it here.
I lost my box of crayons.
Hey, look, there's a picture on the wall that I drew.
Wow, the teacher hung it up on the wall.
- Is that your drawing of a tree?
I really like it.
That's a nice picture of a tree.
- And look, on the teacher's desk, the teacher must have found my missing box of crayons and put it on her desk.
I did leave it here.
I'm so happy.
Now I can do some more drawings.
- Oh, I'm happy for you that you found your missing box of crayons.
- You know what?
I'm gonna draw a picture of the schoolhouse to give to the teacher as a thank you for keeping my crayons safe.
- The teacher will like that.
- Do you wanna make a drawing?
I'd really like to see what you can draw.
You might be great artists at home.
You never know, you never know.
- [Polly] Hey, kids, what time is it?
- It's Puzzle Time.
(bright upbeat music) - Hello Waddle.
Hello Derb.
Want to play a game?
- Okay, that might be fun.
How about you Waddle?
Do you wanna play a game?
- Sure.
Polly, do you have a new bubble popping game to play?
- I have a new bubble popping game.
It is a discovery game for you to play.
My screen is covered with bubbles.
One by one the bubbles will pop revealing the image behind them.
The objective of the game is to correctly guess what the image behind the bubbles is before the last bubble pops.
Are you ready to play?
- I'm ready.
Derb, you say start when you're ready.
- Okay, five, four, three, two, one, start.
(bright upbeat music) - [Waddle] Okay, okay.
What do you see?
What do you see?
- [Derb] I see green.
Green and brown.
- Okay, okay.
What do you see?
What do you see?
- [Derb] I see green.
Green and brown.
- [Waddle] Is it a tree?
- [Derb] Now there's some blue and it's moving.
- Here's some more.
I'm not getting it yet.
- [Polly] 25% of the image has been revealed.
Would you like to take a guess?
(bright upbeat music) - Is it somewhere at Pollywog Pond?
- [Polly] Yes, it is.
Please be more specific to answer correctly.
- It's starting to look familiar.
- Hey, I think I see Berb.
- It's Berb, and I think I see his nest.
- [Polly] You are very close.
- There, I see the missing piece.
It's a butterfly.
It's Berb and butterfly at Bird's Nest.
- I agree.
Berb and a butterfly.
- [Polly] You are correct.
It is a video of Berb and a butterfly at Pollywog Pond.
- I wonder if Berb is playing with a butterfly or if the butterfly is playing with Berb.
- You so, so silly, Derb.
(bright upbeat music) (birds chirping) - Well, hello, Waddle.
What a nice surprise.
It's good to see you.
- Oh, Mrs. Michelle, I'm having an awful day.
- An awful day?
I'm sorry to hear.
Is there anything I can do to help?
- I think I just need someone to talk to.
That might help.
- Of course, I'll listen.
You seem pretty upset.
It's very brave of you to ask for help.
- Thank you.
I appreciate you listening.
I am really upset.
I just want to scream.
- Tell me what's been happening to you.
- It seems like everything that can go wrong is going terribly wrong today.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Try to stay calm.
What is the first thing that went wrong?
- Well, when I was having a cup of juice this morning, the cup slipped outta my hand and I dropped it all over the floor.
There was juice everywhere.
- Did the cup break?
- No, but when I was cleaning the juice, I accidentally knocked over the full waste basket that made a bigger mess.
It took me forever to clean.
- Oh, that does sound like it wasn't fun to deal with.
At least it's all cleaned up now, right?
- Yes, but that's just how my day started.
When I opened the door to go outside, I stumped my toe door.
It really hurt.
- Ouch!
I bet it hurt.
Is your toe okay now?
- Yes, but it really hurt for a few minutes.
When I went outside, I slipped on the pebble and fell into a mud puddle.
Just as it started rain, I mean, really rain.
I got drenched in a downpour of rain.
- Soaking wet?
- Dripping all over.
I went back inside my basket to get a towel to dry off and I got mud from the mud puddle all over the towel.
Then I noticed muddy footprints on the floor.
Once I got dry, I have to clean up all the mud spots.
- That's awful, you pour thing.
- Oh, and there's more, I'll bother you with all the details but I got a cone stuck in my hair.
Fell down and down the hill.
Got one of my hair ribbon caught in a bush branch and worst of all, I swallowed a bug.
(sobs) I'm so upset.
- Swallowed a bug.
I know, I know, now that makes it official.
- Official?
- Official.
You my friend are having what I like to call a horrendously horrible day.
- A horrendously horrible day?
- That's when everything is going wrong and it just seems to get worse and worse.
Just like when your hair is a mess and nothing you do seems to fix it.
- Exactly.
- I can see why you are so upset, that's what a horrendously horrible day will do to you.
- I just want to scream.
- Some days I feel like I wanna scream too, everyone has a bad day once in a while.
Do you know what I try to do to stay calm when I'm having a horrendously horrible day?
I just stop, take a deep breath in, breathe out slowly and say, "No worries, it's all good."
Just let it go, and don't let it bother me anymore.
- I know what you mean.

(bright upbeat music) (bright upbeat music) - [Announcer] Welcome to Words of Wisdom with Waddle.
- If at first you don't succeed, just sit down and eat cake.
Then try again.
(soft upbeat music) - [Announcer] This has been Words of Wisdom with Waddle.
Thank you.
(birds chirping) - Hi, when I came back home from a walk this morning, I found a note pinned to my door.
It's from my friend Curtis.
He lives in Stump Village.
It says, hi Derb.
That's me.
I hope you are well.
We look forward to your next visit to us.
I wanted to let you know that we have a new horse named Lucky at Stump Pond.
He's a reddish brown color with dark brown hair.
Clover, the older horse seems to be feeling down since Lucky arrived.
Thought maybe you could help.
Best wishes, Curtis.
Wow, a new horse at Stumped Pond.
Clover doesn't seem too happy to have a new friend.
Hey, do you wanna go visit Stump Village and see the new horse Lucky and see if we can cheer up Clover?
We could take them fresh apples as treats.
Have you ever been to Stump Village?
If it's your first time, you're in for a surprise.
I'll get two apples and then we can go.
(birds chirping) I found some nice apples.
To get to Stump Village, we need to go to the crossroads sign and then go up the stairs to the big pond.
You go on ahead, I'll meet you there.
(birds chirping) A new horse, that's exciting.
(birds chirping) Here's the crossroad sign, it's up the stairs to go to the big pond.
(birds chirping) (birds chirping) We're here.
Look, see the tree stump?
That's not a normal tree stump, let's go take a closer look.
Look, do you see it?
There is a tiny village on top of the stump.
See the trees and the houses?
That's Stump Village.
Isn't it neat?
Super cool.
But that's not all, we can actually go there to visit.
Over here is the magical journey lens, it's like a teleporter.
If you look into it, it's like a magnifying glass.
I can see the doors on the houses.
All we need to do is hop up on that rock and look into the magical journey lens.
Touch it, and off we go.
It's not scary.
Are you ready?
(bright upbeat music) Well, here we are.
We're at the north end of the village.
This is the windmill.
At the windmill, they grind grains into flour for cooking.
Hi Bob.
Hi, Anne.
Bob and Anne live at the Windmill with their dog, Peanut.
Look at the windmill turning.
The wind must be pretty steady to push the sails on the windmill.
It's really turning, isn't it?
(bright upbeat music) That's the center of the village.
It looks like everyone is out enjoying the sunshine.
There's Chris and Jenny.
Wanna explore a bit before we go to the farm to see the horses?
We'll just hop around.
(bright upbeat music) It seems to be a popular thing to do here.
This place is hopping.
Wanna see a cow?
Mary usually takes her cow Blue Belt to the grassy spot just beyond these buildings to nibble on the grass.
(bright upbeat music) (bright upbeat music) Hi, Bill.
Hi, Sandy.
Good dog, Shaggy.
Let's go down to the little hill to the south side of the village.
(bright upbeat music) Hey, look, it's the twins, Carter and Jayden.
Hi guys, great day to be out hopping.
Down the little hill we go.
At the corner here is the farmhouse.
We came to see the horses.
Just past the house is the farm yard and the big barn.
Look at all the animals.
Oh.
(bright upbeat music) There's the new horse Lucky.
That's who we came to see.
Wow, he's tall.
Hi, Lucky, I'm Derb.
Welcome to Stump Village.
Would you like an apple?
(bright upbeat music) Oh, I see you have another friend.
Would you excuse me for a minute?
I wanna go say hi to someone.
Hi, Clover, my friend.
How are you?
I really missed you.
You look a little down.
Are you sad or upset?
Have you met Lucky the horse?
Oh, I think I know what's wrong.
Clover, are you afraid everyone will forget about you since lucky arrived?
Well, you don't need to worry about that.
You're a great friend to everyone at Stump Village.
This place wouldn't be the same without you.
Lucky isn't here to replace you, he's here to be your new friend.
Yep, you two might have a lot of fun playing together.
Maybe even just standing enjoying a sunny day or hopping.
Do you wanna give a new friend a chance?
Lucky, Clover can show you all around Stump Village.
He knows all the best places to nibble the sweet grasses.
Well, I think I'll let you two visit.
See you later.
Well, it looks like there are two new friends at Stump Village.
I know you need to get going, I think I'm going to stay here a while and visit with the three ducks, Larry, Mo and Curly Cube.
They really quack me up.
Thanks for coming with me to Stump Village, goodbye.
(soft upbeat music) Did you have a nice day, Waddle?
- Well, it started out kind of rough, you know?
A horrendously horrible day and all but it got better.
- Oh, that's good.
What's a horrendously horrible day?
- It's a day when everything goes wrong.
I learned to say, no worries, it's all good.
And try to forget the irritating things that happened.
Not easy but I'll work on it.
- Sorry you had a bad start to the day, I hope tomorrow's better.
My morning didn't start out too well either.
I lost my box of crayons, you were there when I found it.
- Yeah, you were pretty happy when you found it.
- I was, but before that, I was really upset but I wanted to scream I was so upset.
- Believe me, I know the feeling.
No worries.
- Hakuna matata.
- What?
I did this already today.
- It's all good.
- Good, no worries?
- No worries.
Hakuna, let it go, matata.
(Waddle chuckles) - Silly.
