Daisy: Soil Turmoil 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!

Daisy's voice: See any soil, Nature Cat?

Nature Cat's voice: Not yet.

Still looking.

Squeeks voice: (Gasps) Wait!

Stop!

(Gasps) Cheese!

Ahh!!

Gorgonzola!

Oh dear!

Run!

Loud speaker voice: Clean up in aisle three!

Nature Cat's voice: I see it!

Nature Cat's voice: Steve's soil is gone!

It's sold out!

(Hal panting) Hal's voice: Doggie Snacks!

Yum yum yum yum!

Loudspeaker voice Clean up in aisle seven!

Squeeks: Are you guys sure it's okay to do this?

Nature Cat: I think so.

There's a lotta soil here.

We can dig up a little from here... and a little from there... Hal: Nobody'll know, right?

Besides, we're doing it for Steve.

He needs soil!

Daisy: Let's dig here.

These plants look very healthy so the soil must be good!

All: For Steve!

Beetle: Hey!

Whoa whoa whoa!

Whattaya think you're doin', bub?

Nature Cat: Oh, we're just taking a little soil you see, just enough to cover Steve's home.

Centipede: You may be helping Steve but you're hurting us.

Beetle: Don't you see that you're destroying our home?

Pill Bug: And our food!

Hal: Okay, we're just taking a little bit.

Okay?

Just a little bit!

Centipede: Even if you take just a little soil, you can hurt the plants living there, which means less food for the animals that eat the plants.

Nature Cat: Oh.

I never thought of that.

Squeeks: Me either!

Hal: Me either too too also as well!

Beetle: And what's left of the soil may wash away when it rains, because the plants and their roots are gone.

Centipede: Yep!

Fewer plants, less soil, not a good home for us anymore!

Pill Bug: Mmm hmm!

Too true!

Beetle: Which means the soil loses our help in keeping it healthy.

Pill Bug: See?

Even taking just a little soil can make a big problem over time.

Nature Cat: We're nothing but hole digging soil stealers!

(Nature Cat sobbing) Squeeks: We're no different than Ronald.

Hal: Oh what he said!

(Sobbing) and she said!

(Sobbing) Ronald... Daisy: So taking the soil didn't just hurt Steve.

It hurt other plants and animals, too!

And the soil that's still there is in danger.

How are we going to fix this if we don't put back the soil Ronald took?

Nature Cat: We need another plan.

Squeeks: Here's your soil back!

Centipede: Thank you!

Squeeks: We need to replace the soil that Ronald took.

Who knows how many living things he hurt?!

Daisy: But we can't take the soil from someone else 'cause then they won't have soil.

Hal: If we can't take the soil from somewhere else, where are we going to get it?

Nature Cat: Think, gang!

I feel the answer is right in front of us... Whoa!

Nature Cat: What is this?

Daisy: Just my compost heap.

Squeeks: Looks like garbage to me.

Daisy: (Gasps) Wait!

That's it!

The answer to our problem.

Hal: But we need soil not garbage.

Daisy: But this isn't garbage!

Those are food and plant scraps that can be used to make more soil!

All this compost will cook in the sun for a while and it will become, wait for it... soil!

Nature Cat: Yes yes!

We can take some of your compost, and give it to Steve.

Daisy: But I need this compost for my garden.

Nature Cat: Hmmm, well suppose we make a new batch for Steve?

Daisy: Man oh man, that's it!

It's free and easy to make.

We just need Veggie scraps, corn husks, coffee grounds, egg shells, tea leaves, regular leaves, grass clippings...Um.

Is anyone writing this down?

Nature Cat: Thanks for the used coffee grounds, fellow human.

Nature Cat: Thank you for the veggie scraps and corn husks, human being like us.

Nature Cat: Stop right there, Ronald!

Ronald: Excuse me, Nature Cat?

Nature Cat: Do you have any idea what you're doing?

Ronald: Yes.

I'm becoming more famous!

Soon, the whole world will know about Ronald's Gift of the Earth Soil!

Daisy: You're disturbing the plants and animals that live in that soil.

Ronald: I am?

Squeeks: Yes you are, Ronald!

And when the plants don't grow, more of the soil that is left may wash away!

Ronald: It may?

Nature Cat: You can't just go around taking soil, Ronald!

Ronald: I didn't know that!

I never meant to harm nature or soil or ruin anyone's homes.

I...I just wanted be famous!

Ugh!

I'll put it all back.

All: Steve!

Check it out!

Steve: Hey!

You got my soil back?

Nature Cat: Uh, not exactly Steve.

I'm so sorry, your soils gone.

But we brought you...

This!

Steve: Uh, you brought me garbage?

Squeeks: That's what I thought!

But actually, Steve, this is future soil!

Steve: Looks like garbage to me!

Daisy: This is soil, Steve.

Well, it will be in time.

Squeeks: And when we add it back into the hole, things will grow in it for you to eat.

Steve: Ey!

Whoa whoa!

I am not gonna live and eat in a pile of old food and rotten leaves.

Nature Cat: Steve, let me explain.

All of this plant stuff in a pile will warm up under the sun and bugs will come along to help and after a little while it won't look like this anymore.

It will look like beautiful, rich soil!

Hal: Compost is nature's recycling center.

Wait did I just make that up?

Steve: An- and how exactly is nature gonna do this?

Daisy: Um- (clears throat) Excuse me...

Cue the compost heap building montage!

Daisy: It's not complicated.

Just take the stuff you collected... Daisy:...and pile it up close to where you want to use it.

Daisy: Veggie scraps, coffee grounds, corn husks, leaves, grass, and other plants... Daisy:...all make for good soil.

Daisy: Good for planting... Daisy: Good for living under... Daisy: And don't be concerned when your friends stop by for a meal or two.

Daisy: They actually help break everything down and turn it into dark, rich soil.

Daisy: When you're done piling, build a little fence around it and...voila!

The pile is ready to cook!

Nature Cat: Ronald!

What are you doing here?

Ronald: I came to see my friend Steve.

Steve: Friends don't destroy other friends homes, Ronald.

Ronald: I know, I know.

And I'm really sorry.

It was a selfish, thoughtless thing that I did.

Squeeks: It was unthinking... unyielding..and cold.. Ronald: Yeah.

That too.

Nature Cat: And uncaring!

Ronald: Okay!

I heard you!

I'm sorry, Steve.

Steve: Apology accepted, Ronald.

Ronald: Awe thanks, Steve!

Hey!

I brought more stuff for your compost!

Steve: Thanks, Ronald!

Nature Cat: Okay, so what's next, Daisy?

Daisy: We wait?

Squeeks: How long?

Daisy: Oh you know, maybe a few months... Steve: A few months?!

Wait!

Where am I gonna live?

Ronald: Hey!

You could live with me until your soil's ready.

Steve: Really, awe thanks, Ronald.

♪ Daisy: It's done!

And it smells like soil!

Nature Cat: Look!

Now you can rebuild your home, Steve!

Steve: The Steve-ster reporting for duty, sir!

I'm goin' in!

Steve: Op!

Almost forgot.

Thanks so much, guys.

Okay.

I gotta go!

All: (Cheers) Daisy: Wisteria Hysteria Hal: Two outs, bottom of the ninth, two strikes!

We have a real jim-dandy here, baby!

Hal: Can Nature Cat come through with a big hit?

Hal: Can Nature Cat rise to the occasion and win the game?

(Echo's) Game...game...game... Hal: Can Nature Cat...

Nature Cat: Hal, shh, please.

I need some quiet to concentrate.

Hal: ...and this dog sports commentator is going to shush now to give Nature Cat some quiet for concentration.

Daisy: Heeelllpppppp!

Hal:: Steeeeeerike three!

Squeeks wins!

Nature Cat: Oh come on!

Daisy: Guys!

I need your help!

Hal: I'll help you, Daisy!

I alway love to help you, ask anyone!

Nature Cat: What's wrong, Daisy?

Squeeks: Yeah, Dais, you look scared!

What's up?

Daisy: Oh man oh man I am!

I was just on my way to Granny Bunny's to bring her these delicious goodies when... A flashback could really help me set the scene, please... Daisy: La lalalala!

La lalalala!

Daisy:...So I was heading to Granny Bunny's and I came to that tunnel of vines we always go through to get to her house.

Daisy: As I was about to go through, I heard a loud noise that sounded like a twig breaking.

Daisy: Hey, who threw that?!

Daisy: I looked around but there was no one there.

As I was about to go through, I heard that sound again... Daisy: Hey stop throwing things at me!

Daisy: So I ran back here and now I can't get to Granny's!

Squeeks: That is just not right, Daisy!

Who would throw stuff at you?

Hal: Ooh, I know!

Pick me!

Pick me!

Pick me!

Pick me!

Daisy: Uh.

Hal!

Hal: Yes, thank you.

So, it just so happens that my best friend Charlie the dog, knows a dog whose best friend's sister's best friend's cousin's best friend's brother who just so happens to be my best friend Charlie the dog... said he just saw the Big Bad Wolf in that area!

Nature Cat: The Big Bad Wolf?

Gulp!

Are you sure?

Hal: Oh yeah!

And he's just throwing things around on the account of him being so bad!

Wink wink!

Daisy: But that's the only way to get to Granny Bunny's house!

Squeeks: If Daisy needs to get those goodies to Granny, then those goodies are getting to Granny.

Nature Cat: Uh, don't forget about The Big Bad Wolf, I mean, he's big and bad, and not to mention he is a wolf as well, so, a literal triple threat.

Hal: Come on Nature Cat, Daisy really needs our help.

Nature Cat: Well what are we waiting for?

Onward and Yawn...waaaard.

Gee, anyone else want a nap first before we head off to a Big Bad Wolf?

Anyone?

Squeeks: Hop to, Nature Cat!

Daisy: Here we are...

Nature Cat: So this is where The Big Bad Wolf threw something at you?

Daisy: Yeah...

Nature Cat: (Gulp) Squeeks: It's so quiet you could hear a pinecone drop.

Maybe that Big Bad Wolf left?

Nature Cat: Ha ha!

Indeed he has.

The coast is now clear.

Nothing can stop us now!

(Crack) Nature Cat: Yoonwa-owwww!

That's the Wolf!

He's here!

Gotta go!

Uhh taxi!

Squeeks: Nature Cat, we are not giving up!

Daisy: Oh, it's no use, Squeeks.

We just can't go through when there's a Big Bad Wolf throwing stuff at us.

Nature Cat: Agreed, Daisy!

No other choice!

Let's go back home!

Daisy: Yeah...and too bad.

Granny sure would've loved these jumbo carrot muffins!

Daisy: Made with love!

Nature Cat: Made with love?

Daisy: Yup, made with love for Granny.

As well as all locally grown organic natural ingredients.

Nature Cat: Muffins made with love?

True love?

Daisy: Only way I know how to do it.

Nature Cat: Ah, you know true love gets me every time!

Hal: Me too.

Right here.

Nature Cat: Hear ye hear ye!

We must not let that Big Bad Wolf keep Granny from her jumbo carrot muffins made with true love!

All: For true love!

All: Wooooaaahh!

Nature Cat: Come on!

Come on!

Up up up!

Nature Cat: We try again!

Follow me!

For Granny Bunny and true love!

(Sobbing) Squeeks: Hey, hold your horses.

Let's have a check in.

Who's crying?

Daisy: Not me.

Nature Cat: Not me either!

Hal: Wait, am I?

Nope, not me either neither.

(Sobbing) Big Sad Wolf: It's me!

All: The Big Bad Wolf!

Nature Cat: Uh, And what pray tell do you have to be sad about, Big Bad Wolf?

Big Bad Wolf: (Sobbing) Nature Cat: Excuse me, Mr. Big Bad, would you mind trying to stop with the crying because, sometimes when someone else is crying, I start crying too.

(sobbing) Squeeks: Me too!

Hal: Me too too also as well!

Daisy: Uh.

What are you all crying about?

I'm the one who can't get my jumbo carrot muffins made with love to Granny Bunny!

Hal: Hey, Squeeks, what are we crying about again?

Squeeks: I dunno...

Nature Cat?

Nature Cat: I uh, was just following The Big Bad Wolfie here.

What say you, pal?

One minute you're throwing things at us and the next you're crying!

What is the big bad deal?

Big Bad Wolf: (Sniffing and sobbing) Big Sad Wolf: I'm Big Sad Wolf if you can't tell.

And I wasn't throwing things at you.

Someone was throwing stuff at me!

(Sobbing) Gang: You weren't?

Big Sad Wolf: No, I was trying to get this basket of hamburger muffins made with love to my grandma.

But I can't get through this tunnel!

Hal: Oh, well, maybe my best friend Charlie the dog, who knows a dog whose best friend's sister's best friend's cousin's best friend's brother who just so happens to be my best friend Charlie the dog was a little wrong!

Squeeks: Wolfie, we thought it was you throwing stuff at us!

A thousand pardons, man.

Daisy: Then who's throwing stuff at us?

There's no one else around here... Big Sad Wolf: Or I dunno... maybe it's three mean pigs?

Ring a bell anyone?

Hal: Oh me pick me!

Pick me!

I know!

Pick Hal!

Daisy: Uh, yes, Hal?

Hal: Maybe it's an invisible angry thrower guy?

You know he's all angry and thrower-y and invisibl-y and all at the same time.

It could be...

Nature Cat: Hmmm, not a bad thought, Hal.

Daisy: I'm just not sure we'll ever know who's throwing stuff at us!

Nature Cat: Maybe if we can find out what's being thrown, it'll give us a clue about who the thrower is.

And then we can stop them.

Daisy: Sweet idea, Nature Cat!

Squeeks: Gorgeous idea, Nature Cat.

Just gorgeous...

Nature Cat: Alright, gang!

Let's play ball!

Hal: What is it?!

What is being thrown!

Nature Cat, Squeeks and Daisy are gonna catch it!

Hal: Oh, down goes Squeeks!

Down goes Squeeks!

Hal: Hey hey, holy cow.

Daisy: Woaah!

(Crash) Hal: Oh my!

Hal: It's up to Nature Cat folks!

Nature Cat: Huh!!

Uh oh.

Hal: Did he catch it!?

Did Nature Cat make the catch?!

Nature Cat: Huh!

Hal: Do you believe in miracles, people!!!

You should!

Nature Cat caught it!

Nature Cat caught it!

Nature Cat: Yes yes!

Daisy: What is it, what's the clue?!

Nature Cat: I don't know.

Squeeks: What?!

It looks like a seed!

Nature Cat: A seed huh?

Where would our thrower find so many of these?

And why throw them at us?

Daisy: Okay, we know some plants have ways to get their seeds to new growing places, sometimes wind carries them.

But these seeds don't look like the wind could carry them.

Big Sad Wolf: And there's no wind today.

Daisy: But ya know, animals can also carry seeds.

Hal: Oh yeah!

I remember I was the one carrying all of them!

Remember, last season, episode 110A, Travelin' Seeds?

I mean it's still on my DVR.

Squeeks: Well none of us carried these seeds here.

I guarantee.

Hal: Hey there little seed flattened pea thingy, it's me Hal.

Quick question.

Why is someone throwing you at us?!

Daisy: Hey guys.

I think I found something!

These little discs might be seeds from a wisteria vine!

Nature Cat: A seed from a wisteria vine!?

Hal: Oh okay, sure!

Yeah, a wisteria vine seed makes all the sense in the world!

Yeah a wisteria vine, of course!

Heh heh heh.

But just one teeny tiny question, what is a wisteria vine, please?

Big Sad Wolf: I have no idea!

Daisy: This... Squeeks: Oh these vines!

Vines!

I see vines!

Vines!

Are these wisteria vines?

Daisy: Hmm...the leaves look the same.

Leaves, pods, seeds... (Gasps) Man oh man!

We're standing in a tunnel of wisteria vines!

Nature Cat: Hmm.

This is all so very curious and so very mysterious.

One, we have the wisteria vines here.

Two, we have wisteria seeds being thrown at us.

Thrice, who could be throwing these wisteria seeds from these wisteria vines?

Nature Cat: Ha, if we could only see what is going on in this wisteria tunnel.

(Crack) Daisy: Um Nature Cat, turn around.

Nature Cat: Are you sure?

Do I have to?

Squeeks: Look up, Nature Cat!

Nature Cat: Whoa ho ho!

Daisy: Hey guys check this out, I got it on video!

Daisy: Whoa!

Look at that!

A plant pod that shoots out its seed!

Squeeks: That's totally blowing my mind, man!

What a way for a seed to travel!

Nature is crazy!

Big Sad Wolf: Now that's amazing!

(Snap) Hal: Whoa!

Did you see how far that seed traveled?!

Go on little seed, and do your growing thing!

Stay safe and send a postcard!

Big Sad Wolf: Wow, last year, the wisteria vines must've shot out a seed over here, and this year it's grown into a plant!

Ohh, they grow up so fast!

Nature Cat: Well we found our culprit!

Tis only an exploding seed pod, scaring our precious Daisy and our new fine friend Big Sad, and to be honest, scaring me probably the most!

Daisy: Now, I can bring Granny the jumbo carrot muffins made with love!

Big Sad Wolf: And I can bring my granny the hamburger muffins also made with love!

Nature Cat: Yes yes!

The mystery is solved!

Now let's get the muffins to Granny.

Nature Cat: Mmmm nummm!

Nature Cat: Muffins made with true love!

Yum yum!

Hal: Tell me folks, how does it feel to finally get to Granny's?

Daisy: Oh, feels great, Hal.

We had a game plan and we stuck to it.

I'd like to give a shout out to Big Sad Wolf for really helping us out.

Hal: This is Hal, the dog, enjoying some jumbo carrot muffins made with true love!

Until next time, I'll probably just stand right here.

(Crunch) Ho ho, he he he ho.
