A hamster reading a book appears in a circle against a blue slate with the caption "Tumbleweed Presents."

A blue book with the title "Tumbletown Reads" appears. A picture of a street in Tumbletown illustrates the cover.

The book opens and a picture of the Tumbletown Gazette building appears with the name of today’s tale: "Start at the Beginning."

Mike says AND THAT'S WHAT I DID
ON THE WEEKEND.

Tumbleweed says WOW, SKIING AND
WIND SURFING ON THE SAME DAY?

Mike says YUP, I'M LIKE THAT
THOUGH.
WILD AND UNPREDICTABLE.

Tumbleweed says OH, OH, LISTEN TO
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME ON THE
WEEKEND!
TRUE STORY.
WELL, I WATCHED THIS REALLY
FUNNY OLD MOVIE WITH MY NEW
FRIEND ELSA BUT THAT WAS ONLY
AFTER A LOT OF DIGGING BECAUSE
LET'S FACE IT, NOTHING GETS OUT
BLUEBERRY JUICE.

Mike says HUH?
TUMBLEWEED!

Tumbleweed says YEAH?

Mike says NOTHING YOU JUST SAID
MAKES ANY SENSE TO ME.

Tumbleweed munches and says WHY?

Mike says YOU WERE DIGGING AND
YOU FOUND A MOVIE?

Tumbleweed says UH HUH.

Mike says WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO
DO WITH BLUEBERRY JUICE AND A
MAP?

Tumbleweed says OH, OF COURSE!
I FORGOT TO MENTION, I SAW THIS
REALLY NICE CARPET AT A YARD
SALE.

Mike says WHAT?

Tumbleweed says WELL, I PULLED
OVER AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
WHEN I SAW THIS CARPET TO
REPLACE MY OLD ONE.
AND ELSA GAVE ME A REALLY GOOD
PRICE SO I HAD TO SAY YES.

Mike says AND WHAT DOES THAT HAVE
TO DO WITH BLUEBERRY JUICE?

Tumbleweed says OH, RIGHT!
OH, OH NO!
I ACCIDENTLY KNOCKED MY GLASS OF
BLUEBERRY JUICE ONTO THE CARPET
AND THEN I...
WAIT, NO, LET ME START AGAIN.
HOLD ON, UM...
[Mumbling]
OKAY, ALL DONE.
I BROUGHT THE NEW CARPET HOME,
THE MAP TOLD ME AND ELSA WHERE
TO DIG.

Jim , a dark gray rodent, says COULD YOU KEEP IT DOWN
OVER THERE?
SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO GET
SOME WORK DONE, YOU KNOW?

Mike says JIM, GET BACK TO WORK!

Jim says OH, YOU KNOW, FAT CATS
TOLD ME I COULD...

Mike says TUMBLEWEED, YOU WERE
TELLING A STORY.

Tumbleweed says YES.

Jim says THIS IS A WORK AREA.

Mike says AND IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY
SENSE.

Tumbleweed says BUT...

Mike says YOU NEED TO GET THE
EVENTS IN ORDER.
START AT THE BEGINNING.

Tumbleweed says UM...

Mike says WHAT WAS THE FIRST
THING THAT HAPPENED?

Tumbleweed says OH, THANKS FOR
ASKING.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I SPILT SOME
BLUEBERRY JUICE ON MY RUG.
OH NO!
AND THEN I DROVE TO THE STORE.
THE SALESMAN TOLD ME NOTHING
GETS OUT BLUEBERRY JUICE.

He drives to the carpet store.

The salesman says UH, NOTHING GETS OUT
BLUEBERRY JUICE, SON.

Tumbleweed munches a rug.

The salesman says UM, DON'T EAT ALL MY RUGS.

Tumbleweed says AFTER FILLING UP
ON CARPET, I SAW A GARAGE SALE
AND THERE I FOUND THIS REALLY
NICE NEW CARPET.

Mike says AND THAT'S WHERE YOU
MET ELSA?

Tumbleweed says DIDN'T I MENTION
THAT?

Mike says NO, CONTINUE PLEASE.

Elsa says LET ME HELP YOU LOAD
THAT ONTO YOUR CAR.

Tumbleweed says WHEN I GOT THE
NEW RUG HOME, THERE WAS A NOTE
AND A MAP INSIDE.
HEY, A MAP!
I WONDER WHERE IT LEADS!
PERHAPS TO TREASURE!
[Laughing]
SO, I SHOWED THE MAP TO ELSA.
SHE SAID IT WAS A MAP TO HER
BACKYARD.

Elsa says WHY, THIS IS A MAP TO
MY BACKYARD!

Tumbleweed says AND THE NOTE TOLD
US TO DIG IN A PLACE MARKED WITH
AN "X."
ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT
PLACE?

Elsa says YES, KEEP DIGGING!

Tumbleweed says SO, I DID.
HEY, I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING
AND IT LOOKS HEAVY.

Elsa says BETTER BRING IT UP
THEN.

Tumbleweed says YEAH, WELL I
MIGHT AS WELL.
I'VE DONE EVERYTHING ELSE.
WE FOUND A FANCY BOX.

Elsa says OOH!

Tumbleweed says OH, OH, IT MUST
BE TREASURE!
QUICK, QUICK, WE GOTTA OPEN IT,
WE GOTTA OPEN IT!

Elsa says OH BOY, LOOK AT THAT!

Tumbleweed says I'M SO EXCITED!
OH, I WONDER IF IT'S SEEDS!
INSIDE, THERE WAS A PROJECTOR
WITH SOME OLD MOVIES.
A PROJECTOR!

Elsa says OLD MOVIES!

Tumbleweed says LET'S GO SET IT
UP!
THEY WERE MOVIES OF ELSA WHEN
SHE WAS JUST A BABY.

Elsa says LOOK, IT'S ME.

Tumbleweed says YOU LOOK A LOT
YOUNGER THERE.
[Chuckling]
NOT THAT YOU LOOK OLD NOW.

Elsa says HMM.

Tumbleweed says UH, NOT, I WAS
JUST SAYING...

Elsa says JUST DROP IT.

Tumbleweed says OKAY.
IT WAS HER GREAT GRANDFATHER WHO
TOOK THEM AND THEN HE BURIED
THEM IN A TIME CAPSULE SO SHE
WOULD FIND THEM MUCH LATER.

Mike says THAT'S AN AMAZING
STORY!

Tumbleweed says UH HUH.

Mike says ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU
GOT THE FACTS IN ORDER.

Tumbleweed says YEAH, WELL THAT
WAS MY FRIDAY.

Tumbleweed says SO, ON SATURDAY,
IT TOOK ME FIVE TIMES TO GET MY
TIE RIGHT BECAUSE THE DISHES
WERE DIRTY AND THEN I HAD THE
GARAGE DOOR OPEN WHICH WAS CRAZY
'CAUSE IT WAS WINDY.

The book closes and the caption "The end" appears.

The TVO Kids logo appears.
