♪ (Giggling) Hi!
Gotcha, Hal!
Wow!
You'’re really good at flashlight tag, Daisy!
Thanks!
One down, two to go... Ha ha!
Gotcha, Squeeks.
Oh, rats.
You got me!
That just leaves Nature Cat to find!
Ahem.
Ahem, I'’m by the door.
Found you, Nature Cat!
Aw, you got me!
Now the game'’s over!
Boy, time sure flies when you'’re having fun, am I right?
Well, anyway, looks like it'’s time to head inside... Whoa, where are you going?
Let'’s play one more game!
Or four more!
No wait, five more games!
No, okay, okay, ten!
Or... we can just go play inside.
You know, where it'’s light, and safe, and not dark... Um...
Nature Cat, are you, by chance, afraid of the dark?
Me?
Nature Cat?
Afraid?
Pshaw-- (Creature chittering) Aah!
What was that?!
(Creature squeaking) Gulp!
And that?!
(Creature chirping) Yipes!
And that!
Something kinda tells me that you are scared, Nature Cat.
Well, yes, now I suppose you mention it, in retrospect, I might be a tad bit scared of the dark night... and all those scary sounds.
I'’m pretty sure there'’s a logical explanation for those sounds.
See?
A raccoon.
(Chittering) SQUEEKS: A bat.
(Squeaking) HAL: And a cute little cricket guy!
(Chirping) Hi, cute little cricket guy, it'’s me, Hal!
What are they doing out here at this hour!
I mean, don'’t they know it'’s dark and also... dark?
And did I mention dark?
Some animals wake up when other animals go to sleep, I guess.
But why?
Let'’s see what they'’re doing... Hey, look!
The raccoon'’s looking for food.
SQUEEKS: Whoa!
The bat'’s finding food too!
Eww!
It'’s trying to eat a moth!
Moth?
What'’s a moth?
Is that even a word?
Moth?
Sounds weird.
A moth is an insect that'’s sort of like a butterfly.
But some moths only come out at night.
Right, just like bats.
Hey, maybe the bat hunts at night, '’cause that'’s the best time for it to catch its food, like that moth!
Why anyone would want to eat a moth is beyond me.
Exactly!
So, you see, Nature Cat?
Night time isn'’t anything to be scared of.
There'’s an explanation for everything going on out here.
Yes, yes, I can see that now.
Some animals are out and about, looking for food.
Ha ha, there'’s nothing to be scared of-- Except for that!
Aahh!
How do you explain that?!
I... have no clue!
