Mom, what is that over there? Are you tired from the trip?

Oh, no, I fell down. >> [laughter]

>> Wow, it is so big. I feel very calm now.

Why do some stars look brighter? This breakfast is really good today.

Yeah, I like it a lot. I hear the doorbell.

Who is it? I'm not sure. Maybe someone is here.

You two keep eating. I'll get the door. Okay, Dad.

Hello, sir. I have a letter for you. Thank you.

I'll take it. Dad,

who sent the letter? It's from your grandmother.

She wants you to visit her this summer. Really? I'd love to go. I miss Grandma

and her house. I want to go there soon.

We can plan the trip together. >> [snorts]

>> Yeah, it's going to be a great summer. >> [laughter]

>> I'll bring this ball to Grandma's house. I want to bring my favorite things, too.

Hurry up, we're going to be late. We're coming. Just a second.

Wait, I think I forgot my phone. Are you sure? Please check quickly.

Where did I put my phone? I think I left it here.

I can't find my phone anywhere. This is not good. I NEED IT NOW.

I'LL call your phone now. Yes, please do it quickly. Oh, my phone

is in my suitcase. See?

You always forget things. We're here at the train station.

Be careful when you get out. I'll carry my bag.

Me, too. I can carry it. Thank you for the ride.

>> [laughter] >> Hello, I would like to buy train

tickets. Sure. How many tickets do you need?

I need four tickets, two adults and two children.

Where do you want to go? We want to go to Grandma's town in province A.

What time do you want to leave? The next train is fine for us.

Okay, I will book the tickets now. Here are your four tickets.

Thank you very much. I got the tickets, we can go now. Great,

let's go to the platform. How is the train? Is it big?

I think it is very long and fast. I want to sit near the window.

Me, too. I want to see outside. Wow, the train is so long.

It is bigger than I think. Be careful, step slowly.

Yes, Dad. I am very excited. I can see everything outside.

This is so amazing. Excuse me, can we buy some food? Yes,

what would you like? Thank you, Mom. I am a little hungry.

This looks very tasty. Look, the mountains are so big. The view

is so beautiful. We will stop at station A soon. Please

get ready to get off the train. I am ready. I have my bag.

Me, too. Dad, that man is taking our suitcase.

Look, he is going away. No, our suitcase is right here.

Do not worry, Ethan. Wait, where is our suitcase?

It was here just now. Stop, that is my suitcase.

Someone took my suitcase. My cake, what happened?

I am sorry, my suitcase was taken by someone. Please understand, I need to

catch him now. Hey, my bird. This is a very bad day.

But I must get my suitcase back before it's too late.

STOP HIM, HE TOOK MY SUITCASE. THAT IS MY BAG, PLEASE HELP ME.

Stop right there. Do not move.

I finally found it. Is this your suitcase?

Yes, this is mine. Thank you. Thank you very much for your help.

You are welcome. Be careful next time. I think Uncle David will come soon.

Let us wait here for him. Hello, I am here to pick you up.

Come here, everyone. Oh my god, look at you.

>> [laughter] >> Why are you like this?

It is a long story. I am very tired. I will tell you later.

Wow, this car is very different. I want to sit on it now. Be careful when you

get on. Hold tight and sit still.

Put the bags here, it is safe. Everything is ready now.

This ride is so fun. I like this car very much.

Mom, what is that over there? That is a big field in the countryside.

And what is that small house? That is the horse's house.

Oh. That makes sense.

I like this place so much. Me, too. It is very beautiful.

Grandma, we miss you so much. >> I miss you, too. How are you?

Are you tired from the trip? Are you hungry now?

We are not tired. We want to help you. Yes, we can help you cook. We have

chicken, pork, beef, and fish.

We have cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, and beans. Everything is fresh and clean.

What meat do you like to eat? I like chicken. It is my favorite. I

will cook steamed chicken for you. Thank you, Grandma. I love it.

>> [laughter] >> Grandma, I got good grades in my test

last week. Yes, and I helped my friends in class, too.

I am very proud of you both. You are kind and hard-working.

Let's go outside and play. Okay, but we go quietly.

This place is so fun. Yes, let us run faster.

>> [laughter] >> Oh, no, I fell down.

Be careful, the road is wet. >> [laughter]

>> I am scared. I want Mom. Do not cry. I will help you.

Where are Ethan and Noah? I cannot see them anywhere.

They are not in the house. This is not good. They are not here.

>> [panting] >> I am very worried now.

Did you see my children? No, I did not see them.

Are you okay? We fell down on the road.

Do not worry. I will help you. Thank you. I feel better now.

>> [laughter] >> I know your house. Follow me.

Thank you for helping us. Thank you for helping my children.

You are a very kind boy. We fell down and got lost.

I helped them come back home. I am sorry, Mom. I went out without

telling you. But can I go play with Kai later? I am not sure. It may not be

safe. You just got lost a moment ago.

Hey kids, do you want to go out and play?

I can take you around the village. Mom, Uncle David will go with us.

Please let us go. It will be safe. Okay, you can go with Uncle David, but you

must listen and stay together. But first, you need to clean yourselves.

Go take a bath now. Yes, Mom. We will be quick.

Then we can go play. I am ready. Let's go now.

We are waiting for you. Where are we going?

What will we do? It is a secret. Do not tell anyone.

You will see something special. I saw a bird nest over there.

Let's go and take a look. The tree is so tall.

The nest is up there. Stay here. I'll check.

Be careful, Uncle. There are small birds in the nest.

They are very tiny. I want to see them, too.

Can we come up? No, they are too small now. We must wait

until they grow. I feel a little sad.

Me, too. I want to see them. I cannot climb down.

This is too high. >> [panting]

>> We should call someone to help. This is dangerous. Wait, I still cannot

get down. Oh, no. What should I do now? Can you

help me, please? But do not call anyone.

I have an idea. We need a rope first. A rope? Yes, for

climbing. Look, there is a rope here. Yes, let's

use it. Catch the rope.

I got it. Good job. I will slide down slowly.

Stay there and watch me.

Be careful, Uncle. You can do it.

Ouch. I am okay. DO NOT WORRY.

>> [laughter] >> THAT WAS FUNNY.

YOU FELL DOWN. I did that on purpose. >> [laughter]

>> I just wanted to make you laugh. No, that was NOT ON PURPOSE.

>> [laughter] >> STAY CLOSE TO ME. DO NOT GO FAR.

YES, MOM. I will stay here. >> [laughter]

>> The butterflies are so beautiful. I want to catch one. Mom, look at the

butterflies. They are flying everywhere.

Mom, where are you? I cannot see you.

Mom, please answer me. I am here.

Mom, I am scared. >> [gasps]

>> Please come to me. >> [crying]

>> Mom, do not leave me. Noah, I am here.

Stay where you are. Mom, I was very scared.

It is okay. I am here now. Do not run away alone again.

Always stay close to me. That was very fun. Yes, I like it a lot.

It was the best. Sarah, we are here. What are you doing?

We are harvesting pumpkins. Come here and help us.

Okay, we will help you. This looks interesting. After this, we

go to the next field. We will harvest watermelons there.

I want to pick watermelons. Me, too. That sounds fun. Wow, there are

so many watermelons. They look so big and green. Look, I

found a worm. Oh.

It is moving in my hand. Oh, no. Take it away.

It is scary. Look, it is coming to you. Do not run.

IT IS FRIENDLY. >> [laughter]

>> NO, KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME. Do not bring it here.

It wants to say hello. >> [laughter]

>> Just look at it. Ethan, stop running. Do not scare your brother.

Okay, I will put it back. Thank you.

We have so many pumpkins and watermelons.

>> [laughter] >> Yes, today is very fun.

Let's take these things to the hill. We will have a picnic there.

I like going to the hill. It will be very exciting.

>> [laughter] >> The fire is ready now.

Let's cook together. Wait.

I see something there. Two red eyes are looking at us.

I feel scared. Stay close to me. I think something is

there. Stay calm. Do not move.

I will check it. Be careful.

Oh, it is just a small cat. There is nothing to worry about.

>> [laughter] >> I thought it was something scary.

Me, too. I was very afraid. It is just a little cat.

Now we can enjoy our meal. Look, it comes back again.

I think it is hungry. It is very cute.

Do not be afraid, little cat. Let's give it some food.

It looks hungry. >> [laughter]

>> This is a funny little cat. Yes, it came to join us. I like this

cat. Me, too. It is our new friend.

Wow, there are so many stars. They are so bright and beautiful. Mom, why are

the stars so bright here? Because there's no city light here, sweetie. Oh,

we can't see them like this in the city. Here the air is cleaner and clearer.

There is less light from buildings and streets.

What do you mean by less light? It is called light pollution.

In the city, many lights shine into the sky.

They make the stars hard to see. So here we can see more stars. Yes, because the

sky is darker. Wow.

Why do some stars look brighter? Some stars are closer

or bigger. I like the sky here.

Me, too. It is very peaceful. Wake up. It is morning now. Let's go to the

market with me. Are we going to the market?

>> [music] >> I want to see the market.

There are many people here. I hear many sounds.

Hello, how much are these vegetables? These vegetables are $10 per bunch

today. Mom, the vegetables look nice.

I like the colors. Stay close to me.

I'll tie them. Hold my hand.

Mom, wait. I cannot see Mom.

Mom, where are you? Please answer me. I am scared. I cannot find Mom.

Ethan, Noah, where are you? Oh, no. I lost them.

Hold my hand tight. Don't run around. We will find Mom together.

I am scared, but I stay with you. Do not leave me.

Excuse me, we lost our mom. Can you help us?

Do not worry, I will help you. Stay here with me.

What is your mother wearing? She is wearing a blue shirt.

Ethan, Noah, where are you? Please answer me. Will mom find us?

Yes, she will come soon. Ethan,

Noah, I found you. Mom, I was very scared.

I am here, you are safe now. Thank you for helping my children. It is

okay, I am glad they are safe. Always stay close to me.

Stay with me and look carefully. Wow, I see many sea animals. Mom, what is this

fish? Why does it move so fast? It is a

freshwater fish. Fish use their fins and tails to swim

fast. Mom, what is this? It has no tail, how can it live? This is a snail. It

moves slowly with its body. Mom, I thought crabs are red.

Why is this one green? Crabs are green or brown when they are

alive. They turn red when we cook them. It jumped.

>> [laughter] >> That surprised me.

It wants to escape. Mom, why do shrimps swim backward?

That looks funny. Shrimps push water with their tails.

That helps them move backward quickly. I learned many new things today. The

market is very interesting. Oh, it scared me. It is trying to catch

you. Look at its claws. They are strong.

I will stay a little far away. It cannot reach you. Do not worry. Just watch, do

not touch. It is funny, but a little scary.

Yes, but it is interesting. Who wants to go fishing with me?

It will be very fun. Yay! I want to go. >> [laughter]

>> Me too, let's go. Be careful near the water. Do not go too close to the edge.

Do not worry, I will watch them. They will be safe with me.

I have never fished before. Today we will catch a big fish. First,

we put bait on the hook. Wow. Then, we throw the line into the water.

Is this correct? Yes, you are doing well.

Why is nothing happening? Fishing needs patience.

Look, it is moving. Something is there.

Oh, no, I lost it. You pulled too fast. What should we do now?

Try again, do not give up. I will try again.

I believe you. It is pulling hard. Now, slowly pull it up.

I CAUGHT A FISH. >> [screaming]

[laughter] >> YOU GOT IT.

GOOD JOB, that is your first fish. This is amazing.

>> [laughter] >> It is pulling again, very strong.

Be careful, do not fall. I cannot hold you.

Hold tight, do not let go. Step back slowly.

I am here, do not worry. I almost fell. You did well, stay calm.

Pull slowly, do not rush. Okay.

Let the fish get tired. Wow, it is so big. I got a big one. That

is A STRONG FISH. >> [laughter]

>> THIS IS THE BEST MOMENT. You are very good at fishing.

I learned from David. You were brave and careful. That is how you learn.

We caught many fish today. The bucket is full. They are still

moving. They are very strong. Look what we have.

We caught many fish. Wow, that is a lot of fish.

You did a great job. Ethan caught a big fish.

David helped me a lot. This is the best day ever.

Yes, I am very happy. Mom, Ethan almost fell into the pond. The fish pulled him

very hard. Ethan, are you okay?

Did you get hurt? I am okay, do not worry.

David helped me in time. Thank you for taking care of them.

It is my job, they did very well. I am glad you are safe.

We will be more careful next time. Mom, I remember something.

I have a plan this afternoon. I will meet Kai behind the hill.

We will fly kites with other kids. Can Noah and I go, Mom? Please, I want

to go, too. Yes. I will go with them. I am very good at

flying kites. Okay, you can go together.

Stay safe and listen to David. Thank you, Mom.

This will be so fun. The wind is strong today.

It is perfect for flying kites. You are here, come and join us.

We are ready to fly. Look, it is going up.

It is so high. Yeah, it's so high. So high.

Keep the line tight. Follow the wind.

I can do it. You are doing great.

It is too strong. Hold it tight.

Oh, no, my kite. It is flying away. Oh, no, my kite is flying away.

Run, we can catch it. Do not lose it, keep running.

I can still see it ahead. It stopped there.

We found it. I can get it down easily. It is falling.

Great job. Wait, do not move. What is wrong?

The dog looks angry. Stay very still. Slowly step back.

Do not run yet. Run now.

Hurry, this way. Do not stop. >> [panting]

>> I am so scared. That was too close.

>> [laughter] >> But we got the kite back.

The sky looks so beautiful now. The kite is flying again.

Now the wind is softer. It is easier to control.

I feel very calm now. Me, too. This is peaceful.

Days like this are special. You will remember them.

Today was full of fun and surprises. Yes, I will never forget it.

Let's go home soon. We are back home. I am very hungry now. Go wash your hands

now. Dinner is ready.

Come and sit down. Let's eat together.

This is your fish, Ethan. You caught it today.

I was lucky today. It is a big fish. Eat more, you played a

lot today. Ethan almost fell into the pond.

>> [laughter] >> Really? That sounds exciting.

You must be more careful next time. Yes, I will be careful.

Noah, this show is very funny. Ethan, I like watching TV with Grandma.

I bring some fruit for everyone. Who likes which fruit?

I will knit something for you. What do you kids like?

It looks very interesting. Can you teach me?

I help you feel better. This is for you, Grandma.

Thank you, my dear children. You are very kind.

This is a happy night. Yes, I feel very peaceful.

We did not just have a good day. We made a memory we will never lose.
