(music plays)

A blue background with a beige hamster reading a book in the middle appears on screen with a caption that reads "Tumbleweed Presents."

Now a blue book with an animated clip of a city at night and a title that reads "Tumbletown Reads" appears on screen. The animation passes a library and stops at the Tumbletown Gazette.

The book opens and Tumbleweed says TODAY?S TALE:
I DON?T LIKE READING.

Tumbleweed sits at his desk at the Tumbletown Gazette and says TYPING, TYPING,
EATING, YUM, YUM, YUM, YUM,
EATING, TYPING...

Chief says TUMBLEWEED, THERE'S A
BREAKING STORY DOWN AT MAYBEL'S
FARM!
THERE'S A MOUSE STUCK IN A TREE!

Tumbleweed says I'M ON IT, CHIEF!

Chief says I WANT PICTURES FOR THIS
STORY.
BETTER TAKE LEWIS WITH YOU,
TA-TA!

Tumbleweed says LEWIS?
THE PHOTOGRAPHER?
IT'S JUST HE'S NOT THE MOST
EXCITING GUY TO BE STUCK IN A
VAN DRIVING HALF A DAY WITH...
CHIEF.

Lewis says [Yawning]
OKAY, LET'S GO.
[Music playing]

Tumbleweed and Lewis drive to the gas station.

Tumbleweed says [Humming]

Lewis says PLEASE DON'T SING.

Tumbleweed says WHA, OH, OKAY.
[Humming quietly]
SO, LEWIS, LOUIE, CAN I CALL YOU
LOUIE?

They stop for gas and Lewis says NO.

Tumbleweed says LOU?

Lewis says NO.

Tumbleweed says OKAY, LEWIS IT IS
THEN.
READ ANY GOOD BOOKS LATELY?

Lewis says NO, I DON'T LIKE
READING.

Tumbleweed says I SEE.
UM, DO WE STILL HAVE FAR TO GO?

Lewis says ACCORDING TO THIS MAP,
WE NEED TO KEEP DRIVING.

Tumbleweed and Lewis drive again and Tumbleweed says OKAY.
SO, DID YOU READ MY ARTICLE
ABOUT THE ELECTRIC CAR SHOW?

Lewis says NO, I DON'T LIKE
READING.

Tumbleweed says OKAY.

Lewis says DINER NEXT EXIT.
LET'S PULL OVER, I'M HUNGRY.
[Sniffing]
I SMELL PIE.

Now Tumbleweed and Lewis walk into a diner.

Tumbleweed says OH, YOU SAID THE
MAGIC WORDS, LEWIS!
OKAY, HERE WE GO!
TURN, SIGNAL AND BLIND SPOT AND
WEE!
OOH, LOOK AT ALL THE SEEDS THEY
HAVE ON THE MENU!
I CAN'T WAIT, MMM, YUM, YUM,
YUM, I THINK I'LL HAVE THE SEED
DU-JOURS, THAT LOOKS GOOD.

Lewis says REAL ORIGINAL.
I'LL HAVE THE SEED LOAF WITH A
SIDE OF PUMPKIN SEEDS.
I HEAR THEY'RE GOOD.

Tumbleweed says SO, READ ANY GOOD
COOK BOOKS LATELY?

Lewis says NO, I DON'T LIKE
READING.
I'M GONNA SEE WHAT'S ON THE
JUKEBOX.

Tumbleweed says OKAY, I'LL JUST
WAIT HERE.
[Music playing]

Tumbleweed says OH, I LOVE THIS
SONG!

Back on the road, Tumbleweed says IT'S TIME FOR US TO

Lewis says STOP THAT.

Tumbleweed says OH, I'M SORRY, I
FORGOT, NO SINGING.
SO DID YOU SEE THE RODENT BALL
GAME ON TV LAST NIGHT?

Lewis says NO, I JUST CHECKED THE
SCORE IN THE MORNING PAPER.

Tumbleweed says I SEE.
SO, UM, NICE WEATHER, I HOPE IT
DOESN'T RAIN.

Lewis says I LOOKED AT THE
FORECAST, SUNNY ALL DAY.

Tumbleweed says OH, ANYTHING ELSE
INTERESTING IN THE PAPER?

Lewis says NO, I DON'T LIKE
READING.

Tumbleweed says OH, IS THIS DAY
EVER GONNA END?

Lewis says WHAT DID YOU SAY?

Tumbleweed says I SAID, I HAVE A
LOT OF PAY TO SPEND.
OH, HERE'S OUR EXIT, MAYBEL'S
FARM.
[Chuckling]

Now Tumbleweed and Lewis appear on screen at Maybel?s farm.

Tumbleweed says SO, HOW DID YOU GET STUCK IN A
TREE, MA'AM?

Maybel says WELL, I WANTED TO SEE THE
VIEW AND IT IS NICE.

Tumbleweed says UH HUH.
LEWIS, CAN YOU GET A PICTURE?

Lewis says HANG ON, IT'S A NEW
CAMERA.
I HAVE TO READ THE MANUAL.

Tumbleweed says YOU KNOW, FOR A
GUY WHO DOESN'T LIKE TO READ,
YOU SURE DO READ A LOT.

Lewis says HUH, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

Tumbleweed says WELL, YOU SAY YOU
DON'T LIKE READING BUT JUST ON
THIS TRIP, YOU READ A MAP, YOU
READ THE ROAD SIGNS, OUR MENU,
THE JUKEBOX AND JUST THIS
MORNING YOU READ THE SPORTS
SCORES AND THE WEATHER FORECAST.

Lewis says AND NOW I'M READING
THE MANUAL FOR MY CAMERA!
YOU'RE RIGHT, TUMBLEWEED.
I READ ALL THE TIME!

Maybel says SURE, MAYBE YOU DON'T LIKE
READING STORIES BUT YOU LIKE
READING THINGS THAT ARE
PRACTICAL, THAT HELP YOU GET
THROUGH YOUR DAY.
READING IS GREAT FOR THAT!

Lewis says YOU'RE RIGHT, I DO
LOVE TO READ!

Maybel says GOOD!

Lewis says NOW LET'S GET SOME
PICTURES!

Maybel says OH, OF ME?

Lewis says ALRIGHT, SHOW ME SOME
TEETH.

Maybel says OKAY.

Lewis says LET ME SEE IT.

Maybel says LIKE THIS?

Lewis says A LITTLE BIT LESS OF
THOSE.

Maybel says UM, OKAY BUT GUYS, CAN YOU
HELP ME DOWN NOW?

Tumbleweed says READING IS GREAT,
ISN'T IT, LEWIS?

Lewis says YAY, READING!

Tumbleweed says YAY, READING!

Lewis says I LOVE READING.

Maybel says I'M STILL STUCK IN THE TREE.

Tumbleweed says I'M GLAD WE
FIGURED THAT OUT.

Lewis says YEAH.

Maybel says UH, GUYS?

Lewis says UH HUH?

Maybel says HOW ABOUT SOME PICTURES OF ME
ON THE GROUND?
