[00:03:47]>> You were standing here.

[00:03:48]>> That does not mean I did it.

[00:03:51]I never touched it.

[00:03:53]>> Poor children always want shiny things.

[00:03:58]>> [laughter and gasps] >> That is not fair.

[00:04:01]>> Those words hurt Berry.

[00:04:12]>> Berry did not do it.

[00:04:14]>> Benny, stay calm.

[00:04:18]>> This is not your place.

[00:04:57]>> Are you a bad person?

[00:05:00]>> No, Benny. I am honest.

[00:05:04]>> I believe you. Why did he say that?

[00:05:09]>> Sometimes people judge too quickly.

[00:05:14]>> That feels wrong.

[00:05:20]>> Yes, they do.

[00:05:22]It really hurts.

[00:05:25]>> I'm sorry, Berry.

[00:05:39]>> Berry did not break it.

[00:05:42]>> What do you mean?

[00:05:44]>> I broke it, Dad.

[00:05:46]>> The truth stops him cold.

[00:05:48]>> I wanted to show off.

[00:05:52]>> Bella shows where it happened.

[00:05:56]>> Why did you hide it?

[00:06:05]>> The truth becomes clear.

[00:06:08]>> I hid the truth.

[00:06:10]>> You made a mistake.

[00:06:32]>> Barry, wait.

[00:06:33]>> Bella?

[00:06:39]>> I'm sorry, Barry.

[00:06:42]>> Why are you sorry?

[00:06:46]>> Because I was wrong.

[00:06:48]I broke the trophy.

[00:06:51]I let Dad blame you.

[00:06:54]>> That hurt me, Bella.

[00:06:58]>> I know.

[00:06:59]I'm sorry.

[00:07:01]Can you forgive me?

[00:07:04]>> I forgive you, Bella.

[00:07:08]>> Thank you, Barry.

[00:07:10]>> Can the trophy forgive you?

[00:07:12]>> Bella feels shy and sorry.

[00:07:17]>> A trophy cannot talk.

[00:07:21]So, it cannot scold?

[00:07:23]>> [laughter] >> Good. No scolding trophy.

[00:07:30]That helps a little.

[00:07:32]>> A little laughter returns.

[00:07:34]>> [laughter] >> Mr. Golden Pineapple comes outside.

[00:07:41]I judged you too quickly.

[00:07:43]>> [music] >> I am sorry, Barry.

[00:07:45]>> Thank you for saying sorry. I accept your apology.

[00:07:50]>> Mama Rosie [music] comes to Barry.

[00:07:53]>> Are you okay, Barry?

[00:07:55]>> I'm okay, Mama.

[00:07:58]>> I am here, sweetheart.

[00:08:14]I promise to remember.

[00:08:19]>> Let's fix it together.

[00:08:23]>> I want to help.

[00:08:25]Can buns fix trophies?

[00:08:30]Can I eat one? Let's share the buns.
