Nature Cat: Ahhhhh!
Nothing like a little nature jog!
Exercise for the mind and body!
Aye-what?
Squeeks: Yep!
Good for the heart!
Daisy: And good for the soul!
Hal: What she said and she said, baby.
Nature Cat: Yes yes!
Nothing can stop us now!
Tally...
Whoaaaaaa!!!
Nature Cat: I gotta stop saying that!
Squeeks: Nature Cat?
You okay, man?
Nature Cat: Yes, thank you Squeeks.
I don't remember this hole.
Daisy: Hey yeah, it wasn't here yesterday.
Hal: Then what is it doing here today?
No offense, hole.
It's me, Hal.
Steve: That's what I'd like to know!
Nature Cat: Hello, Steve.
What happened?
Steve: Uh well!
You tell me!
Steve: One day this is the perfect place to live.
The next...Gone!
Oh, well except for this giant hole in the ground!
Hal: Oh!
This is the saddest dirt story I've ever heard, Steve.
(Gasps) I mean I think it's actually the only dirt story I've ever heard, but still... Steve: And this happened to be the perfect dirt.
Soft enough to dig through.
Firm enough to hold up my tunnels.
And healthy enough for lots of plants to grow.
And now look.
It's all gone!
Nature Cat: My word!
Who would take all this dirt?
Daisy: A hole digger?
Squeeks: The dirt stealer?
Hal: Uhh!
It could be a hole digging dirt stealer!
Oh no!!!
Steve: I just want my home back!
Is that too much for a little vole to ask for?
Nature Cat: Not to worry, Steve.
I, Nature Cat, dirt retriever extraordinaire, am on the case!
Steve: Uh, yeah, you're also on my tail.
Nature Cat: So sorry.
Squeeks: Ahh!
You guys you guys, look!
Wheel tracks!
Nature Cat: Maybe these will lead to the missing dirt!
Nature Cat: Onward and dirtward!
♪ The Gang: Huh?
Rudzies?
Nature Cat: The tracks stop here.
Daisy: Oh no!
Empty.
Squeeks: (Heavy breathing) Squeeks: As I suspected.
Traces of dirt.
Could it be...Steve's dirt?!
Hal: Awe, where'd it go?
Dirt?
Oh dirt?
Where are you?
It's me, Hal!
(Door clicks) All: (Gasp) Ronald: (Laughing) Ha ha ha ha!
Nature Cat: Ronald.
Did you take the dirt from Steve's home?
Ronald: Ah!
Bon jour, Nature Cat.
Ha ha.
Squeeks: Did you take the dirt or not, Ronald?
Ronald: Not that it is any of your business, but yes I did.
And what I took wasn't dirt.
Dirt is what's on your nose, Hal.
You really should wash it off.
Hal: Uhh!
Why didn't someone tell me that was there?!
So embarrassing.
Ronald: What I took is soil!
Nature Cat: Everyone knows that soil and dirt are the same thing, Ronald!
Ronald: Oh no they are not, Nature Cat.
No one wants dirt, but soil is as valuable as gold!
Everyone wants it!
Daisy: Hm... Says here that soil is a mix of broken down rock, minerals, and plant and animal matter.
I guess you could say soil is like the Earth's skin!
It's the stuff under your feet you can grow food in.
Nature Cat: So soil is what's in your garden, Daisy?
Daisy: Yep!
And good soil lets air and water to pass through.
So many living things depend on good soil to survive!
Ronald: Exactly, Daisy!
Ronald: Introducing Ronald's Gift Of The Earth Soil!
I provide soil to people whose soil isn't good for growing anymore.
Nature Cat: You're selling Steve's soil in Rudzie's?
Ronald: You want it back?
Go buy it!
In a few days I'll be famous.
Toodles to the ooo!
