The first day of fall!
Man-oh-man, I just love the fall!
The sights!
(Geese honking) The sounds!
And don't forget the smells!
(Sniffing) Mmmmm.
(Sniffing) Mmm.
The crisp air with the sweet smell of leaves with a hint of hay!
It's the fall!
If I could just piggyback on all this fall love, something amazing is going to happen today over in the Canyon!
Amazing?
Well, I love amazing!
Ask anyone!
What's going down over there man?
Okay, so when the sun is positioned just so around noon, the sunlight will fall through rock gaps into a cave to reveal...
The Golden Sun Stone!
SQUEEKS AND HAL: Ooooooh!
Sweet!
And it can only be seen on the very first day of fall.
Today!
Whoa!
What exactly is this, Nature Cat?
NATURE CAT: It's a calendar carved into stone hundreds-- nay, maybe even thousands of years ago.
People have used it to tell when fall begins!
Which is also the equinox!
Oh, fun fact guys.
That's when day time and night time have the same number of hours.
Oooooh!
Whoa!
I know, a must see!
And the last few years, I've set out early on the first day of fall to the Canyon to see this but... Got bad directions one year.
Ha-ha!
(Croaking) Slightly veered off course another year.
Ho-ho!
(Thudding) And then there was the time I got totally lost.
Hee-hee!
(Truck horn honking, screaming) I'm not gonna miss it this year!
It's still early enough to get there before noon!
Come on!
This way, onward and yonward!
Or wait, maybe it's this way!
Heh-heh.
No.
Scratch that.
I think it's this way!
Yeah, I can see why he got lost!
I think I'm lost.
Hey.
I hear you.
I get lost in my closet.
(Chuckling) Which direction again?
Nature Cat, how are we supposed to get to the Sunstone?
Easy!
You just head north.
Or north...
Uh, I mean, north.
Ugh!
I can see why I get lost.
Well this is what you need!
Oh, a circle!
It's a compass, Hal!
A compass!
Oh yeah!
We used it to follow Bad Dog Bart's treasure map!
Yep!
Remember, the way the compass works is I hold it very flat on my hand and move myself until the "N" on the compass lines up with the needle.
So according to the compass, this way is north.
North is the way we need to go!
Okie-dokie!
And just in case, the compass shows the other directions: east, south and west!
Guys!
Guys!
Guys!
I know how to remember directions: Never Eat Soggy Worms.
Soggy worms?
Blech!
Yeah, yeah.
It helps me remember the order of directions.
Never starts with N for north.
Eat starts with E for east.
HAL: Oh, oh, oh!
I get it!
Soggy starts with an S for South.
And worms starts with a W for West!
HAL, SQUEEKS: Never eat soggy worms!
S-- soggy worms.
Ugh.
