Roro, Dodo & Kiki The Dried Pond Mystery
Added:Look at me go. Look at me go. See how fast I am. Look. All right, team. We're here.
>> Quack.
>> Let's be careful. It's dusty.
>> Don't worry. I know exactly what to do.
The adventure begins.
Let's see what wonders await us today.
[music] [singing] >> Ph. What a hot day for a science adventure team. Quack.
>> [music] >> H I wonder what we will discover today.
Maybe we will discover some shade.
[laughter] Waddles to you, my friend. Welcome, Rooro. Quack. It's a bit warm today, but the mission continues.
Quack, quack. I think I need a break.
Time for an adventure. Quack, quack. It is too hot. Let's go.
>> Quack. Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? Quack. I think I'll walk a bit. Quack.
My chubby tummy is melting. Quack.
Uhhuh. I really hope we discover a big cool puddle. Quack.
I want to swim. Water is the best thing in the summer.
Meow. I'm here. Great timing, Kiki.
We've been waiting, Quack. Now we can begin. Look, it's Baby Fox. I'm here.
Let's go.
Meow. Ow.
>> Meow.
H. What's this?
Meow.
Please do not talk about splashing, Rooro.
Quack.
>> Meow. I brushed my gray fur for a long time this morning.
>> I must stay clean and dry.
But I agree, a cool place to sit would be very nice.
>> My paws are getting warm.
[music] I found it. I found it.
Uh-huh.
What is that?
I heard something. But But wait, is that Look out. Here I come. Ready or not, you're in for a surprise. Zoom.
We did it. Look, it's Baby Fox. He's here.
Hello.
Hello. Hello. Hello.
I am baby fox. It is a beautiful day.
>> Why are you walking so slowly?
We should run.
>> Running is fun.
>> Please do not run so fast, baby fox.
Why?
>> Why?
>> You might kick up some dust.
>> Oh, sorry.
>> This scarf must be impeccable. A true adventurer must always be tidy. Meow.
>> You are making dust fly into my clean gray fur.
>> Quack. You have too much energy for a hot day.
Running makes you hot. Swimming makes you cool. Quack.
>> Do you know where a puddle is, baby fox?
Not around here, Dodo. Quack. I think we need to keep looking.
>> No pu. No puddles here. The sun drank all the water.
>> [laughter] >> But I know where a big stream is. It is far away over the hill.
[screaming] >> The stream.
[laughter] That is a great idea.
We can go to the stream to cool down.
Quack.
>> Meow.
>> But first, >> wait, what was that?
>> And that's how we'll find it. Sniff, sniff. Did you hear that? Sounds sad.
Let's go see. Yay! Hoohoo!
Listen team.
>> There's something over there. Come on.
>> I hear someone. Let's find them.
Okay, here it is. I need to be quiet.
Quack. Look, a fox. Meow.
>> Hello.
>> Hi, everyone. I'm Baby Fox.
[crying] >> Zoom, zoom, zoom. I'm so fast.
>> What's next? Oh, this is no good. We have to do something. Let's think this through carefully. Woohoo! What's happening here? Hello there. Hi. Be careful. Don't worry, he's friendly.
Quack.
What is that? Hey, look. Is that the new kid? Hi there. Welcome to the tiny forest. I'm Baby Fox. It's great to meet you all. We're heading this way. These are my friends, Roro, Kiki, and Baby Fox.
>> Zoom, zoom, zoom. We are zooming.
Ready or not, here I come.
I am baby_fox rartr1.
I am super energetic and I love running and bouncing. Zoom, zoom. We're here.
How are things? So happy to see you.
We've got this [laughter] broken zoom. I love zooming. Watch your step.
But it's so fun. A little too much fun.
My little pond.
Look.
[whistles] >> Zoom. Zoom. Zoom.
I play in it every day. That sounds like fun.
>> But it's so hot. Quack. Don't worry.
We'll fix it. Zoom. Zoom. Bouncing.
Hooray. Hello there. You seem very fast.
Quack. So tired.
Look at me go. Wee. So much fun. I'm so fast.
Time for an adventure.
Follow me.
Look at how fast I can go. I'm a zooming hero.
>> Zoom zoom zoom. I am ready to go exploring.
>> Hey, slow down, little guy. Yes, we have a plan.
>> I am so fast. I can do anything.
>> I miss my water. Quack, don't worry.
We'll find it. We will. I promise.
[laughter] H. What's down there? It looks deep. I can find it. Quack.
Quack.
Audio. Sad gentle voice. Welcome to the tiny forest adventure. A duckling and a turtle both need water. Be careful not to get dirty. We're glad you're here.
I understand your pain, baby turtle.
>> A dry pond is a tragedy, >> but we can fix it. Yes, let's make a plan.
>> H I have an idea.
[laughter] [clears throat] >> Do not cry, baby turtle.
I will go to the big stream and bring water back to you.
[music] Zoom, zoom, zoom to the top.
I made it.
[panting] Wow, look at the big stream. Amazing.
Splashes. Quack- quack. I am the duck. I am the rabbit. I am the cat. I am the fox. I got it.
[laughter] >> [music] >> What is that? M looks like water. Fresh water. It's not too hot now.
>> Zoom.
Here he is. Welcome back. Quack. Quack.
Yes. Yep. Yep. Let's go.
>> Tada! It's the perfect spot.
>> Oh, wow. You found it.
Oh no, the water ran away from my paws.
Don't worry, baby fox. We will help you.
Quack, we have a plan. Meow. Let's go.
>> Quack. Let me try. I have a big orange bill and I will use it to help us.
>> All right, team. Let's head for the hill.
Waddling all the way. Keeping up naturally.
>> [screaming] [music] >> Quack. Okay, heading back with the water.
Quack.
Oh, so thirsty. Quack.
>> Oh, whoops. I didn't mean to drink at all.
>> Oh. Oh, no. Rooro, what happened? Did you? I gulp. I did.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I couldn't find anything.
>> That's all right.
Quack.
Oops.
The water was very tasty.
Quack.
>> Meow.
>> These are very silly methods.
>> Meow.
>> Meow. Let's make sure everything is perfectly clean, shall we?
You cannot carry a whole pond in your paws or your mouth.
la.
>> I will never get my pond back.
Do not give up.
>> Quack.
Meow.
>> Science never gives up.
All right, perfect. Here we go. It's time to start the adventure.
>> I have a plan.
>> We cannot carry the water. I have a different plan.
>> Quack. Meow.
>> Ta-da.
Water is heavy and it slips away. But we can make the water walk here by itself.
Huh?
Make the water walk.
Water does not have legs.
Chuckles.
>> [laughter] >> It does not need legs. But if it had legs, imagine all the new places we could explore. H.
>> It needs gravity.
Okay. Ready?
Gravity is an invisible force. It pulls everything down to the ground.
If we look closely, the big stream is up on the hill. Baby Turtle's dry pond is down here. We need to help fill it.
>> Let's do it. We must be careful.
>> We just need to build a path for the water to flow down.
>> Zoom, zoom, zoom. [laughter] What's this way? Let's go.
>> Huh?
Yes.
A canal.
A canal is a long ditch in the dirt. We can do it.
We will dig a line from the stream all the way to this hole.
[laughter] Quack.
A water slide for the pond.
[laughter] Pa, I love science.
>> Meow.
>> Digging in the dirt sounds very messy, >> but I will help because baby turtle needs his home. Indeed. Let's bounce.
I am great at digging.
[screaming] Let's go team.
Let's build a canal.
>> Operation bring the water begins now.
All right, team. This way.
I'm getting a little tired, Quack. Let's keep moving. We can do this, Quack. Keep going, friends. We're almost there, Quack. Indeed. Let's maintain our pace.
We can do this.
We must make sure the path is straight.
If the path goes up, the water will stop. Water cannot climb hills by itself.
Quack. Down is good. Down is easy.
My chubby legs do not like walking up hills. I am ready to build the water slide.
Zoom zoom.
Hello everyone. Hey, you're here. Hi.
Zoom zoom zoom.
That's why I'm so fast.
Ah, >> do not worry. Do not worry.
We have a lot of time. I will run to the stream and look at the water for you.
>> [music] >> Wow, there is so much water. Whoosh!
Whoosh! It is cold and fast.
Meow! That is good news.
Now we just need to bring a little bit of that fast water to our slow turtle friend.
>> All right, team. This looks like the spot. Quack. It's a bit fast. Let's assess the risks. Meow. No time for risks. It's an adventure. Quack.
>> Okay, team. It's time to build the canal. Let's do this.
>> Quack. Meow. We need to dig a long ditch in the dirt.
>> Okay, I'm on it.
>> I am the best digger. [laughter] >> Zooming in circles, bouncing on paws.
>> Dig, dig, dig.
>> Watch these lightning fast paws go.
>> I'm almost there.
Wa! Look at that dirt. Not my scarf.
[laughter] Meow.
Cough. Cough.
Baby fox. You are very enthusiastic, but you are making a dirt tornado.
>> Zoom.
Oops. Sorry, Kiki. Almost there. Just a little more. Quack. This looks good.
Meow. Very precise. Baby turtle approaches.
[panting] Look who's here. Hi guys. Quack. Good to see you. Hello. I have strong little claws. I can help dig too.
Meow. Hello. Quack. We need your help.
Let's build it together.
[clears throat] Do?
What can I do?
Ducks do not have claws. My feet are flat like pancakes.
>> Quack.
>> But your feet are perfect for swimming.
>> Science needs flat feet, Rooro.
>> Quack. Right, Dodo.
>> If the bottom of the canal is soft and bumpy, the water will sink into the mud.
We need to make the bottom very hard and flat. You can be the stomper. That sounds fun. I can help. Quack. Quack.
Stomping is my favorite thing. Quack.
Quack.
Ah.
[panting] Okay. The line is complete. Quack.
>> Keep it up, team. Quack.
>> Almost there, Dodo. Look, the canal is almost there. Quack. It's getting closer.
Let's ensure the path is clean.
Meow. This looks perfect. We did it.
Quack. It's beautiful. Woohoo. Let's play in it. Zoom. Zoom. I found it.
Uhhuh.
Ouch.
Ouch.
I hit something very hard.
Oh my. Would you look at that?
Zoom zoom. We've caught you.
Let's begin the adventure. Hi.
The canal is blocked.
I found water. We can fix the pond.
Let's move it.
>> [groaning] >> It's not moving.
>> Quack, need help. Quack, let the chubby duck try. Rooro, wait for us. Be careful of the dirt. Hey everyone, so glad you're here. Quack, we are ready. Quack, quack, quack. Must move. Quack, quack.
Heave. Quack, quack. Almost there.
Quack. We did it.
>> Quack. Quack. Quack.
Ph. QUACK.
[laughter] It is no use. It is heavier than 10 big fish.
Quack.
Meow.
It is stuck in the hard dirt.
>> The friction between the heavy rock and the ground is too strong.
We cannot push it.
>> Look at that. He's fast. Very impressive.
>> Team, remember our rule. Let's do this together and always put safety first.
Science never gives up. Let's head for that big rock, everyone.
>> Meow. It looks dirty. Quack. It's a bit of a walk. We cannot push the rock, but we can lift it. Quack. Quack. Quack.
Meow.
We just need the right machine.
>> We will build a lever.
[laughter] A lever is a very smart tool. We need two things. A long, strong stick and a small hard rock.
I see a small rock.
I will find a strong stick.
Look, I did it. I brought the biggest branch I could find.
Fantastic work, baby fox.
The fulcrum is set.
All right, team. Let's get this branch under here. We're almost there. Yes, looking solid. We've built the machine.
Now we have a lever. Roro, I need your chubby tummy.
>> Quack. Qu meow [laughter] >> quack. My chubby tummy is ready for science.
[laughter] >> On the count of three, we all push down together.
Ready?
>> Okay. 1 2 3. Push.
Push.
Squeak. Groan. Pop. The lever works perfectly.
We did it. The path is clear. Baby turtle, are you ready for your pond to come back?
>> Let's do it. Ready? Now.
[laughter] >> Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Zoom. Zoom. Dig. Dig. Splash. Zoom.
Zoom. Zoom.
>> [music] >> Welcome in.
Looks so refreshing. Watch the splashes.
Cannonball. QUACK.
Look what I found. Wow. Thank you. The birds sing again. Quack. I'm glad to see the water. Meow. It is clean. We did it.
Quack. Meow. Wee.
