Mouse: Oh, hi! 
Today, Rabbit and I got stuck on a problem. 
Really stuck. 
And it took a lot of working together to figure things out! 
It all started when we were playing our favorite game...
Rabbit: Meesy, Mousey, Mohver, Mouse, hop over!
Mouse: Ribbity, rabbity, rover, Rabbit, hop over!
Rabbit: Meesy, Mousey, Mohver, Mouse, hop over.
Mouse: Whoa! 
Aw, soggy salamanders, that's my best hopping pole!
Rabbit: Not to worry, Mouse. 
We'll find it!
Mouse: It's got to be here somewhere.
Rabbit: Hmm... 
Oh... Hmm... 
Whoops. 
Hey, there it is!
Mouse: Great!
Rabbit: I'll thump it down for you.
Mouse: Thanks, Rabbit. 
Uh, you can let go now.
Rabbit: I can't! 
I'm stuck to it!
Mouse: Me, too! 
That tree put something sticky all over my hopping pole.
Rabbit: Ew... 
Come on, let's go wash this stuff off at the pond!
Mouse: Whoa! Rabbit! 
He always forgets how fast he is. 
Aah! Stop! 
Oh no! 
Now I'm stuck to a stick and my feet are wet.
Pearl: Hi, guys.
Coral: Whatcha doing?
Amber: Why are you washing that stick?
Jade: Is it dirty?
Rabbit: It's the pole Mouse uses to play "hop over". 
That's a game we invented.
Mouse: It got sticky goo on it from a funny tree. 
Now we're stuck to it!
Pearl: A funny tree?
Coral: Uh-oh.
Amber: Did it have scaly bark...
Jade: And big leaves?
Mouse: Yes!
Rabbit: Uh-huh.
Mouse: How did you know?
Pearl: That's the sticky, icky tree.
Amber: Whenever it gets scratched, it oozes super, sticky, tree resin to heal itself.
Coral: Jasper uses it to fix his pondi-floater, 'cause it's waterproof.
Jade: That means, it won't wash off.
Mouse: Won't wash off?! 
Then how can we get unstuck?!
Rabbit: Time for a hop-think! 
The question is... how can we get unstuck from this stick?
Jade: I know! 
Why don't you just pull it off, really fast?
Rabbit: But that'll rip out some fur!
Mouse: That sounds ouchy. 
No way!
Pearl: What if you break the stick? 
Then you wouldn't be stuck together.
Mouse: But it's my perfect, hopping pole!
Rabbit: And we'd still be attached to the broken ends.
Coral: Hmm... Hey! 
Maybe we can use something to scrape off the goo. 
Like... this old shell!
Pearl, Amber and Jade: Ooh!
Rabbit: Aww... 
Aww...
Coral: Oops. 
I decorated your pole by accident.
Jade: I still think you should rip it off.
Rabbit: Huh?!
Jade: Even if you do lose some fur.
Pearl: Unless you want to be stuck together forever.
Mouse: Together... forever? 
Hmm... 
I wonder what that would be like?
Rabbit: That sounds carrotastic! 
We're together most of the time anyway.
Mouse: Just like you Gibble Goose Girls! 
You always stick together, and you have lots of fun. 
Right?
Pearl: That's true.
Amber: We're never lonely.
Coral: Or bored. 
And if I get an itch...
Jade: I'm always there to scratch it.
Rabbit: Exactly! 
It'll be easy.
Jade: Wait. 
We didn't say it was easy.
Mouse: Then it's settled. 
Rabbit and I will stay stuck together forever!
Rabbit: Woo-hoo!
Mouse: This is gonna be great!
Rabbit: And I know just what I want to do first; go swimming! 
Come on.
Mouse: But wait! 
I don't like to swim!
Rabbit: Oh. Right. 
You don't.
Mouse: Does this mean I have to swim, even if I hate it?
Rabbit: Does it mean I can never go swimming again?
Pearl: You know, when we can't agree on the perfect thing to do...
Coral: We agree goosely instead!
Amber: That's when we find an answer that works for everyone.
Jade: Even if it's not perfect.
Rabbit: That makes sense!
Mouse: Hey! I have an idea!
Rabbit: This is a great, goosely agreement! 
I can't swim too far, but at least I can cool off.
Mouse: And I get to stay dry! 
Agh! Brrr! Mostly dry.
Jade: Look. Stuff is still getting stuck to your pole!
Rabbit: Oh, cabbage!
Mouse: Oh! Excuse me. 
My tummy is growly. 
Is anyone else hungry?
Rabbit and Gibble Goose Girls: Me!
Rabbit: Let's go see if the corn is ripe!
Mouse: Higher! Higher, Rabbit! 
Got it! 
Good news. 
It is ripe!
Rabbit: Great! 
Two should be enough.
Pearl: Mmm, yummy!
Rabbit: Be sure to get all the outsides off. 
They stick in my teeth! 
Mmm! 
Hey!
Mouse: Hey!
Rabbit: Hmm?
Mouse: Eating together is going to be harder than I thought!
Coral: Mouse? 
Why don't you and Rabbit try taking turns. 
Like we do!
Pearl: Mmm! 
Delicious! 
Your turn!
Rabbit: Take turns! 
We can do that.
Mouse: What if you eat when the corn goes that way, and I'll eat when it comes back this way.
Rabbit: OK! You go first.
Mmm!
Mouse: Taking turns really does help!
Rabbit: That was yummy. 
I'm stuffed!
Mouse: What should we do now?
Pearl: We could play that game.
Amber: What game?
Pearl: The one they made up.
Coral: What was it called?
Gibble Goose Girls: Hmm...
Jade: "Hop over"!
Rabbit: Oh, yeah! 
We love "hop over"!
Amber: But we don't know how to play.
Rabbit: Not to worry. 
We'll show ya, come on. 
We can play in the meadow!
Mouse: Rabbit, watch out for the... 
Aah! 
... cornhusks.
OK, here's how you play. 
One friend crouches down like this...
Rabbit: And the other one hops over. 
It's really fun! 
Watch!
Mouse: Ribbity, rabbity rover, Rabbit, hop over! 
Whoa!
Rabbit: Oh, cabbage. 
That never happened before.
Mouse: We weren't stuck to the pole before.
Jade: I don't think you're going to be able to play "hop over" anymore.
Rabbit: But it's our favorite game!
Mouse: This pole is turning into one sticky problem!
Rabbit: Unless... maybe the pole is not the problem.
Mouse: What do you mean?
Rabbit: Maybe we need a new game. 
One where it's good to be stuck to a pole!
Mouse: You mean, we should make up a game that needs a pole? 
That just might work!
Rabbit: OK, let's hop-think. 
What kind of game can we play with this?
Pearl: Well, it has a pinecone...
Coral: And a shell...
Amber: And it's swishy...
Jade: But sticky, so we shouldn't touch it...
Rabbit: Thumpeka! I've got it!
Gibble Goose Girls: Waddle, waddle, duck, duck! 
Waddle, waddle, duck, duck! 
Waddle, waddle, duck, duck!
Rabbit: I call... Pearl!
Pearl: Woo-hoo! Yay!
Mouse: Remember, when you go under the pole, don't touch it!
Pearl: OK, girls.
Coral, Jade and Amber: Waddle, waddle, duck, duck! 
Waddle, waddle...
Pearl: Too easy. 
Make it lower!
Rabbit: OK.
Mouse: Coral. Jade. Amber...
Coral, Jade and Amber: Waddle, waddle...
Rabbit: Alright! 
Way to go! 
Woo-hoo! 
Hoptastic! 
Mouse!
Mouse: Yippee!
Rabbit: Ow, ow, ow, ow! Stop! 
It's twisting my paw!
Mouse: Sorry! 
I almost forgot we were attached.
Rabbit: Me, too. 
It seems like no matter how good we get at being stuck together, there are still things we can't do. 
Like playing "hop over", and "duck and waddle".
Mouse: Yeah. 
Maybe it's time to get ourselves off this pole.
Rabbit: But how are we gonna do that? 
Our fur is really stuck!
Jade: You know how. 
I already told you.
Mouse: You mean...
Jade: You're gonna have to rip the pole off your fur.
Rabbit: OK.
Mouse: Let's do it.
Gibble Goose Girls: Yay! Woo-hoo!
Jade: On the count of three!
All: One, two, three!
Rabbit and Mouse: Oof!
Gibble Goose Girls: Hooray!
Rabbit: Mouse! We did it!
Mouse: And it hardly hurt at all!
Rabbit and Mouse: Yay! Yeah! 
Ow! Ooh!
Mouse: OK. 
That hurt a little.
Rabbit: Come on, let's soak our paws until they feel better.
Gibble Goose Girls: Yay!
Mouse: Being stuck to Rabbit was harder than I thought. 
We had to agree goosely, take turns, and try a few goofy ideas.
And in the end, we still had to lose some fur!
But it's good to know that Rabbit and I can solve just about any problem.
As long as we stick to it!
