Read it!
SQUEEKS: "It was a beautiful summer day, and the Tiny Pals were on their way to a big tasty picnic!"
♪ Uh-oh!
To get to our big tasty picnic, we have to go through... the swamp!
(Fly buzzing) Okay-dokay!
Let's goooo!
Hal, wait!
Wait?!
Come on!
Why wait?
Because the swamp is dangerous for little critters!
We have to be careful of the plants here!
Oh, the plants!
Yup!
Obviously!
(Chuckling) Wait, why?
Because, here in this swamp, there are plants that eat bug-size critters like... us!
Uh, excuse me.
Did you say plants that eat bug-size critters like us?
Then why did you make us so small?
It's uh-- It makes the story way better!
It adds tension.
Yeah so these swamp plants can't get enough of what they need from the soil.
So another way they get their food is by eating bugs and other little critters.
Bug eating plants!
Whoa, that is so cool!
But beware the plants that trap!
And beware the plants that stick!
And beware the plants that close bugs in and eat them for a snack.
Okay!
I mean this is all interesting information, but how am I supposed to remember?
Can you sing me a song or something?
Oh yeah!
Yeah, yeah, you got it, Hal.
Hit it!
