The zebra herd looks huge from here. How can that leopard stay up there?

>> I just want one closer picture of them. >> It's coming closer. Please close the

window. >> Oh, no. That was too close for us.

>> I cannot believe we are really here today.

>> Wow. Oh.

>> Is this different from a normal zoo? >> Animals [music] live more freely here,

close to nature. >> Wow. That sounds much more exciting

already. >> This feels like a real wild adventure.

>> [laughter] >> My friend York will guide us today.

>> [laughter] >> I want to see every animal out there

now. >> Welcome, friends. Let's begin our safari

trip. >> [laughter]

>> It is great to see you again, York. >> Please get in slowly and stay seated

inside. >> Come in carefully.

What rules should we follow on the safari?

>> Stay calm, keep inside, and never scare animals.

Don't lean out and keep a safe distance. >> This feels more real than I imagined

before. >> Yes, it feels exciting and a little

scary, too. >> Here you may see animals living

naturally today. >> Wow. This is the grassland area in the

safari. >> I feel like anything could appear now.

>> Look, there are so many zebras. Which animals migrate in this season here?

>> Wildebeest and zebras move for fresh grass and water.

>> The zebra herd looks huge from here. >> Their stripes help confuse danger and

identify each other. >> Now, look over there. Those elephants

are massive. >> They are so big.

But they look [music] gentle, too. >> Elephants are social

and care deeply for family. [music] >> They really do seem loving and close.

Huh, how can that leopard stay up there? >> It climbs well like a cat.

>> Leopards climb trees to rest and protect their food.

>> I want a better photo of that leopard. >> Stay safe and take photos only from

here, Ethan. >> It's beautiful, but still very

dangerous. >> Those lions are much closer than I

expected. >> I just want one closer picture of them.

>> It's coming closer. Please close the window.

>> I know, that was too close for us. >> Huh?

York, please be careful out there. >> He knows him and stays calm with him.

>> I helped its injured leg before, so he remembers.

>> Animals can remember kindness in special ways.

>> Can we take one photo a little closer? >> Yes, but stay careful and keep enough

distance. Take it fast, then return to the car.

>> That was amazing, but still very [music] scary.

>> I didn't know wild animals could remember love.

>> That was the end of our safari journey, guys.

>> Thank you, York, for [music] guiding us so well.

>> These photos will help me remember everything.

>> Safari feels different because animals live naturally here.

>> Respecting animals means giving them space

and peace. >> Nature is best [music]

when humans act with care. >> Would you like to visit a real safari

one day? >> You are late for school. Maya is

waiting. >> Oh, no. I am late. I need to brush my

teeth. >> Wait, Leo. Did you drop your milk box on

the street? >> Yes, Daddy.

The box is empty. >> Look at your hands. Dirty hands will

make your stomach hurt. >> Turn off the iPad. You must go to

[music] sleep early. >> Just 5 more minutes, Daddy.

I want to win this game. >> Hello, class.

Are you ready for a short writing test? >> Yes, teacher.

We are ready. >> Great.

Please write about your daily routine. Do you have any bad habits?

>> Hmm. My bad habits?

Let me remember my morning. >> Good morning, Leo.

Please wake up. >> Oh, no, Mommy. I am so sleepy.

Five more minutes? >> No.

You are late for school. Maya is waiting.

>> Oh, no. I am late. I need to brush my teeth.

>> Leo, did you forget to make your bed?

>> Oh, sorry. Must I fold the blanket now?

>> Yes. Making your bed is a good habit.

>> Here we are. Have a good day at school. >> Thank you for driving us, Daddy.

>> Yummy strawberry milk. >> I am done.

>> Wait, Leo. Did you drop your milk box on the street?

>> Yes, Daddy. The box is empty.

>> You must put it in the green bin. We must keep the street clean.

>> Daddy is right, Leo. Throwing trash is a bad habit.

>> I understand. I will put it in the bin.

>> Good job, Leo. >> This red paint is very fun, Tom.

>> Yes. Look at our dirty hands, Leo.

>> [laughter] >> The bell is ringing.

Lunchtime. Wow, a big hamburger. I want to eat

[music] it now. >> Stop right there, Leo.

>> Why, Maya? >> I am very hungry right now.

Look at your hands. Dirty hands will make your stomach hurt. [music]

>> Oh, I forgot. I will wash my hands right now.

And what is my bad habit at night?

This game is so fun. >> [laughter]

>> Leo, turn off [music] the iPad. You must go to sleep early.

>> Just 5 more minutes, Daddy. I want to win this game.

>> We are going to the zoo tomorrow. Sleep now.

>> The zoo is tomorrow, not tonight. I am not tired.

>> Good morning. Are you ready for the zoo?

>> Yes, Mommy. I am very excited to see the monkeys and

elephants. Oh, no, Mommy. I am very tired.

>> Why are you so tired today, Leo? >> I played games very late.

I am sorry. I finished [music] my test.

I must change my bad habits. Mom, Dad,

I had a writing test today. I have many bad habits.

>> Oh, really? What are your bad habits, Leo?

>> I wake up late, don't make my bed, and don't wash my hands.

But, I will change. >> That is wonderful, Leo. Bad routines

make us very [music] tired and sick. Good routines make us happy and healthy

every single day. Do you agree? >> Yes, Mommy.

>> [laughter] >> Hey, friends.

>> Just nothing. >> Nothing to do?

Look. I have a mission.

>> A mission? >> Yes. This baby tree needs a home. It

needs soil and sun. Will you help me? >> Did someone say help?

Super gardener is here. Let's go to the park.

>> Mom, why do we plant trees? Why are they important?

>> Good question. Trees are superheroes. [music] Breathe in

and breathe out. >> Mhm.

Fresh air. Thank you, Mr. Tree.

>> Trees make fresh air. It is called oxygen.

And look, they make shade, too.

>> And birds live in trees, too. Mhm.

It is a home for animals. >> Exactly, Maya. Oxygen, shade, and home.

Trees are amazing. >> Let's [music] plant it here.

This is the perfect spot. Mhm.

The soil is hard, but don't worry, kids. Watch your dad.

Uh-oh. >> [laughter]

>> Dad, you have dirt on your nose. >> Dad, you are funny.

Let me help. >> Woah.

Ah. Something is moving in the hole.

Is it a snake? >> Don't be scared. Look closely.

It is an earthworm. >> Ew. Ah.

It looks slimy. >> No, no. He is a friend. The worm is a

tiny gardener. He makes tunnels in the soil. This helps water reach the tree's

roots. >> Hello, Mr. Worm.

Please help our tree grow. [music] >> Now,

be gentle. Roots are like feet.

They drink water from the soil. >> Drink some water, baby tree.

Mom, look. It is so small.

It is shorter than me. When will it be big?

>> Patience, Leo. Trees grow slowly, [music] but they become strong. Just

like you and Maya. Every day, a little bit.

>> But, Mom, the park is big.

Will we forget our tree? >> Don't worry. I have a surprise.

Let's give it a name. >> The Happy Tree.

Perfect. Because we are happy today.

>> Grow fast, grow fast, >> Happy Tree.

Good job, team. We did it.

High five. >> Yeah.

>> We had a great day. What about you? Do you like planting

trees? >> What tree did you plant? Tell us in the

comments. >> Please

Today is a very special day because it BBQ Day.

>> And we are inviting some special guests, too.

>> I helped Mom with the table, and I want it to look nice for the guests.

>> Wow, Maya. >> [laughter]

>> The flowers look [music] very lovely. >> Oh. Oh, no.

I cannot see anything. >> Mom, I am very hungry.

Can I [music] eat this? >> No, Leo. You cannot eat it now because

it is not cooked and you must wait. >> Something smells wonderful over here.

>> Hello, Mark. >> Hello, Sarah.

The weather is perfect for a BBQ. Come over and join the party.

>> Thank you for inviting us. >> We bring an apple pie for dessert and I

hope you like it. >> That is very kind, Sarah. Thank you.

Please make yourself at home. >> The grill looks [music] great, Ethan. Do

you need any help with the meat? >> Please have some water, Sarah.

By the way, how is your new life here? >> I really love it here, Grace. It's much

quieter than our old place. >> That is good to hear.

And I hope you feel comfortable [music] in your new home.

>> So, Mark, why do you move to this area and why do you choose this place?

>> Well, I got a new job at the city center, so

we needed to move closer. >> Moving to a new house is very hard for

us and we feel tired and stressed. But we are lucky because we have kind

neighbors. >> Yes.

We will never forget >> [music]

>> how you helped us yesterday. >> Oh, no.

Look at those dark clouds. It is starting to rain very heavily.

It seems like new neighbors are moving in next door.

>> Oh, no. Please stop raining.

My books are getting wet. Help.

>> Ouch, my leg hurts. And I cannot move this furniture fast.

Don't worry. We are coming to help [music] you right

now. >> Kids,

grab the umbrellas and follow me. Hurry up.

>> Hold the cover tight >> [music]

>> and don't let water go inside. >> Ma'am,

please stand under my umbrella. It is dry here.

>> [music] >> Give me the heavy books. I will carry

them inside for you. >> Run fast, Mom.

I will protect you from the rain. >> [music]

>> One last box. I got this.

>> [panting] >> It is very heavy.

Phew. We made it.

You guys truly saved our furniture. >> Thank you so much and you [music]

are the best neighbors. >> We are all wet now, but at [music] least

we are happy. Okay, everyone. The meat is ready.

>> Thank you again, Ethan. Now, let's enjoy this delicious food.

>> Please sit down here, Sarah. Mark, you can [music] sit next to Ethan.

>> Oh, wow. Look at this.

It is bigger than my face. >> Here is some apple juice [music] for

you. By the way, Mark, you said you moved for

work. What do you do? >> I work as a sales manager for a luxury

sports car company. Wait. Sports cars. [music] Did you say

sports cars? Are you kidding me? I love cars. I have many small model cars at

home. >> That is [music] great. You must come to

my showroom and see the real cars. >> Look at the two men. They are talking

[music] about cars and it is funny. Sarah, do you work, too?

>> Yes, I work at home and I write children's books.

>> Well, a writer.

That is my dream job. [music] Do you write fairy tales?

>> Yes, Maya. I write fun stories about magic and friends [music] and maybe I

can read my new story to you one day. >> Yes, please.

That would be amazing. >> Okay, everyone.

Let's clean up the table together before we eat dessert.

>> I will help you carry these dirty plates to the kitchen, Grace.

>> I will clean the table now and I will throw the trash away.

>> Come on, Leo. We need to make space for the yummy

apple pie. >> Here is the homemade apple pie.

>> I love sweet food, so I can eat more. >> Yes, Leo is right and we can [music]

always eat apple pie. >> Did you live far from here before you

moved here? >> Yes, Maya. We lived in a busy city and

there were many tall buildings. >> Was your old house bigger than this

house? >> [music]

>> No, Leo. This new house is much bigger because we need more space.

>> Why do you need more space? There are only two people in your

family. >> Actually, Leo, we are not two. [music]

We will be three people very soon. >> Three?

Does that mean are you [music] having a

>> Yes, Grace. You are right. We will have a new baby soon.

>> Oh my goodness. >> Sarah,

Mark, congratulations to both [music] of you.

>> That is great. Let's celebrate the new baby.

>> Yay, a baby and I will be a good big sister to the baby.

>> And I will teach >> [music]

>> the baby to play with toy cars and Lego.

>> Thank [clears throat] you, kids. [music] And you will be very good friends for

our baby. >> Thank you for the good barbecue. And we

had a great time today. We are neighbors now. So, if you need help, please tell

us and we will help you. >> Take care of yourself, [music] Sarah.

Don't lift heavy boxes anymore. >> We promise.

>> Goodbye, neighbors. See you tomorrow.

>> Good food, good friends,

and good news. What a perfect day.

>> Wait. Mom, Dad, I brought my fastest cars [music] for the baby.

>> And I have a teddy bear. >> Oh, sweethearts.

Don't rush. We have to wait many months for the

baby. >> That is right. Good things take time.

Just like a good BBQ. >> Big green trees. I love camping.

>> But, Dad, are we there yet? It is a long drive.

>> Not yet, Maya. But, we are close.

Just 10 minutes. >> Go straight.

>> Hmm. Look at that road.

It looks interesting. >> Ethan,

the map says go straight. Please follow the map.

>> No, I know a secret way. It is a shortcut. It is faster. Trust me.

>> Ethan! >> Ah.

Ah. >> Dad,

this road is very bumpy. >> Ethan,

I don't see any cars. I think we are lost.

>> Don't worry. We are just exploring nature.

It is an adventure. >> [music]

>> I am getting worried. Can we go back?

>> Okay. I made a mistake.

>> [music] >> Sorry, everyone.

>> Wait. What?

Look over there. >> What is it, Leo?

>> It is a hidden sign. It says, "Campground, turn left."

>> [music] >> Good eyes, Leo.

You found the way. >> Sorry, guys. I was too excited. Next

time, I will use the map. >> It is okay, [music] but remember, more

haste, less speed. Preparation is important.

>> At least the view is amazing now. Let's take a photo.

>> Did you learn new words today? Shortcut, bumpy, or hidden [music] sign.

Do you like camping? Tell us in the comments.

>> Wow. Look at this big tiger, Maya.

>> Please be quiet in here. >> Oh, no, Leo. Remember [music] our

library rules. >> [laughter]

>> And he is eating a big banana. So funny. >> Hello there, little boy.

The library is for focusing. You must keep quiet here.

>> Yay! We are at the library. I love reading books.

>> Wait, kids. This is a very special place. [music]

We must keep quiet and use our whisper voices inside, okay? [music]

>> Okay, Mommy. I'll be very, very quiet.

>> Me, too. Let's go find some good books. >> Wow. It is so big and quiet in here.

Look. The animal books are over there.

>> I want to read this [music] beautiful story.

>> Ooh, a big nature book. I want this one.

Wow. What is inside this book? Wow.

Look at this big tiger, Maya. >> Please be quiet in here.

>> Oh, no, Leo. Remember our library rules. Shh.

Please be quiet, my darling. >> Oops.

I'm so sorry, Mommy. >> Let's sit down here and read nicely.

>> Wow. This Jungle Book [music] is awesome.

The animals look so real. Maya, look.

>> [laughter] >> This silly monkey is wearing a hat.

>> [laughter] >> And he is eating a big banana.

So funny. >> [laughter]

>> Excuse me, please keep it down. Oh, dear.

I need to talk to that little boy. Hello there, little boy.

The library is for focusing. You must keep quiet here.

>> I'm very sorry. I forgot the rules again.

>> It's okay. Just remember your whisper voice, all

right? Enjoy your books, everyone.

>> It's hard, but I know you can do it, Leo.

>> Yes, Mommy. I will try my best.

>> My story is so magical. >> And I love your whisper voice, Leo.

>> Oh, wow. The baby elephant is finding its mom.

>> Oops, I dropped my heavy bag. Hello.

Yeah, I'm at the library right now. >> [laughter]

>> Oh, no. That is way too loud. Mommy, it's so noisy.

I can't read my book. You see, Leo?

This is how other people feel when you laugh and talk [music] too

loudly in here. Huh! I understand now. I was too loud

earlier. I don't want to bother anyone. I will be quiet.

Mommy, I want to borrow this book and take it home. Excuse me.

Can I borrow this book, please? >> Of course, my good boy. Here you go.

>> Do you read books at the library? [music]

It is great, but remember to keep quiet. Keeping quiet is hard.

But I did it. Respecting others is good.

>> Please, stop that blue truck. My little boy is inside.

>> Daddy, where are you?

It's too bumpy. Mommy,

Daddy, I want to go home.

>> Wait for me right here, okay? I'm just going inside for a second.

>> Okay, Daddy. I will stay here.

One, two, three, catch. >> [gasps]

>> Oops. Oh, no, my ball.

Ah! There it is. Inside the truck. Gotcha.

Come here, little ball. >> La la la.

>> [music] >> Rock and roll.

>> All right, next stop. Let's go. Leo,

where are you? Please answer Daddy.

Ah, his shoe. Oh my gosh, the truck. No, no, no. He is

in the truck. Hey.

Stop. Please, stop the truck. I have to

>> [panting] >> catch them.

No, no, no. Our red light. Please wait. Excuse me. Please let me pass.

My son. No.

I lost them. Where did it go?

Huh? My little boy's ball.

It it fell out.

The truck went right. The truck went right.

I know it. I'm coming, Leo. Don't be scared.

>> [laughter] >> Help.

>> [panting] >> I need help.

Ah. A police officer. Thank goodness. Officer,

please help. My little boy is trapped in a blue truck.

>> We have an emergency. We need to stop a BLUE TRUCK RIGHT NOW.

>> PLEASE HURRY, SIR. He must be so scared.

>> Look. There's the blue truck. Pull over. Stop

your truck right now. >> Rock and roll, baby.

Yeah. >> He can't hear us. Wait. I will stop him.

>> Officer, is something wrong?

I was just driving. >> Open the back. My son is in there.

Hurry. >> Daddy,

you are here. Daddy.

It was so dark and scary. >> Oh, my brave boy.

I've got you. You are safe [music] now.

>> Leo, where is my Leo?

>> Mommy, look. Daddy found him. >> Oh, my sweet baby.

>> [crying] >> We were so worried about you.

>> Parents, always watch your kids.

>> Please, [music] never take your eyes off them.

And kids, never play near or hide in trucks.

>> Oh, no. Look at the time. The boat.

We completely forgot the boat schedule. >> Oh, no. It's going away.

>> It is getting dark. Daddy,

I am so cold. >> Wow.

Look at that giant tree, everyone. >> [laughter]

>> Ooh. These flowers are beautiful.

Cheese. I love this island so much.

>> Huh? What is that [music] loud sound?

Oh, no. Look at the time. The boat.

We completely forgot the boat schedule. >> Oh my gosh, we're late. Let's run.

Hurry up, kids. Run to the beach. >> Ooh.

>> [panting] >> Where is our boat? Oh, no.

It's going away. >> Oh, dear.

I have no signal here. I'm so sorry.

I forgot the time, so we are left behind.

>> No, it's my fault. [music] I wanted to go deep into the forest.

>> Don't cry, Mom. It's okay. Maybe they will come back for us.

>> Yes, don't worry. We are superheroes. We will find a way.

>> Thank you, my darlings. I love you. >> Oh, no. It is getting dark.

Daddy, I am so cold.

>> Here, Maya. Put on my warm jacket.

>> We are together. We will be fine.

>> Let's find a safe shelter now, team. >> Do you see anything, Dad?

>> Look. >> [laughter]

>> A small dry cave over there. Listen, [music] team.

Leo and I will find dry wood. >> Maya and I will find some fruits near

here. >> I'm a good helper.

>> [laughter] >> Look at this wood. Yay!

>> I found some yummy berries. >> [laughter]

>> Hooray! >> Almost there.

Come on, fire. >> Wow!

>> [laughter] >> The fire is so warm.

>> Eat some fruits, my darlings, and [music] go to sleep.

>> Hmm. Is it morning already?

Huh? What?

What is that? A boat? Wake up, everyone. The boat is here.

>> Oh, oh, [laughter] oh. Really?

Let's go outside quickly. >> Hurry, kids. [music]

Run to the beach. Look.

The boat is coming back. We are here.

>> Hello. >> [screaming]

[laughter] >> Yay! We're on the boat.

>> I am very sorry. I didn't check the numbers.

>> We are sorry, too. We played too long. >> Yes, we forgot the time [music]

completely. >> Remember, kids, we must always follow

the schedule to be safe. >> We will always look at the clock, Dad.

>> But it was a great survival adventure, right? [music]

>> What a beautiful day to visit the zoo. >> I want to see the monkeys.

>> And the lions. >> Okay, everyone. I have the tickets.

Let's go inside. >> Dad, it's upside down.

>> Thanks, Maya. >> Look, Mom.

The giraffe is so tall. >> Yes, Leo.

And look at its neck. It has a very long neck.

>> I am tall, too. Look. I am stretching my neck.

Can I eat leaves like a giraffe? >> No, Dad. You are too short. Look at the

monkey swinging on the ropes. That one is going really high.

>> I am a monkey, too. >> Oh, Ethan, you are so funny.

>> [laughter] >> They are eating bananas. They look

happy. I will draw monkey.

>> Come on. Let's see the king of the jungle, the lion.

>> Oh, no. The lion is

sleeping. >> Sleeping?

No. Wake up. Wake up, Mr. Lion. Roar.

>> Ethan, shh. Quiet. >> But

>> [music] >> I want to hear a roar.

>> The lion is tired. We must not bother him. It is rude.

[music] >> You are right, Grace.

Sorry, Mr. Lion. >> Today we saw many animals. They are

beautiful, but remember, kids, respect the animals.

>> Yes, Mom. And look at my drawings. >> Yeah, I love the zoo.

>> Wow. >> Wow.

>> Wow. They're beautiful. >> Wow. Great drawing, Maya.

I love the zoo. >> Did you like the animals? [music]
