In the TVOkids tree fort Laura wears an orange shirt and blue jeans. Her dark hair is split into two braids. Beside her, Matt wears a light blue shirt and black pants. Matt waves.
Laura says, HEY, TVOKIDS, WELCOME TO
THE TREE FORT.

Matt says, AH! TELL ‘EM. TELL ‘EM!
Laura shouts, IT’S PEACH DAY!
Matt shouts, IT’S PEACH DAY!
Laura says, WHICH IS SO EXCITING BECAUSE YOU CAN

Matt says, PEACH ICE-CREAM.
BARBECUED PEACHES.
Laura says, PEACH EVERYTHING!
Matt says, OH, AND TVOKIDS, THERE IS MORE
EXCITING NEWS FOR YOU.
TODAY RIGHT AFTER THIS SHOW WE
HAVE EPISODES OF BIG WORDS,
SMALL STORIES, WHERE FOUR KIDS
LEARN A NEW DELICIOUS
MULTI-SYLLABIC WORD EVERY
EPISODE.
Laura says, OKAY, OKAY, LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
Laura and Matt jump. They look excited.
In a preview of the Big Words, Small Stories, a boy, a dog and two squirrels stand on a beach at a starting line. They all wear swim suits and water wings. One of the squirrels runs off and the dog follows. The boy sighs. The squirrel runs through an obstacle course but the dog stops to wipe sand off her paw. The squirrel jumps on a trampoline to leap over an obstacle while the dog washes her paws in a bucket of water. The squirrel pole vaults over a third obstacle. The boy and the other squirrel remain at the starting point.
The boy says, HURRY ABIGAIL! THEY’RE WINNING.
Abigail the dog steps into sandals. She takes a step, trips, and falls face first into the sand. Abigail joins the boy as the squirrel running the course makes it back to the starting point. He and the other squirrel have their picture taken with two trophies when they jump in the air.
Abigail asks, WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THESE
TROPHIES?
The boy says, THEY KEEP WINNING BECAUSE YOU
KEEP LOLLYGAGGING.
Text reads, Lollygagging.
Abigail says, WELL THEN, MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST GO HOME.
Abigail crosses her arms angrily, then smiles.
She says, YEAH, LET'S GO HOME.
Abigail starts to leave but the boy stops her.
The boy says, AFTER THE SAND CASTLE
BUILDING COMPETITION.
Abigail says, FINE.
Near the water, Abigail digs a moat while the boy adds to a sandcastle. The boy turns and sees the squirrels much larger sand castle being built with an excavator.
The boy says, ABIGAIL!
Back in the tree fort, Matt laughs.
Laura says, OKAY.
THAT LOOKS LIKE SO GOOD, BUT
THAT JUST REMIND ME I SHOULD STOP
LOLLYGAGGING BECAUSE I WAS
SUPPOSED TO GO A PEACH FARM
TODAY WHICH IS SO EXCITING.
Matt says, OH MY GOSH, YEAH
OKAY.
Laura says, SO I’M GOING TO GET GOING.
Matt says YEAH CAN YOU GRAB ME SOME PEACHES?
Laura says, TOTALLY
Matt says, AND PEACH COOKIES?
Laura says, OKAY.
A man wearing glasses with white hair appears in the sky.
The man says, ATTENTION TREE FORT DWELLERS.
PLEASE VACATE THIS ELEVATED TIMBER DWELLING
IMMEDIATELY!
IT IS MINE NOW.
Laura says, WAIT.
WHO ARE YOU?
The man asks WHO AM I?
ARE YOU JOKING?
JESTING OR JOSHING WITH ME?
YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHO I AM?
Matt says, NO.
YOU LOOK LIKE A LIBRARIAN
VAMPIRE, YOU JUST SHOWED UP.
The man says, INCONCEIVABLE, UNTHINKABLE.
WHACK!
YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM?
WELL, THEN, ALLOW ME TO
INTRODUCE MYSELF.
MY NAME IS DR. THESAURUS AND I
AM THE SMARTEST AND MOST VERBOSE
VILLAIN YOU HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED!
WITH SUCH FEARSOME AND VOLUMINOUS
VOCABULARY THAT IT STUNS MY VICTIMS
INTO STUPEFIED SILENCE.
HA HA!
JUST LIKE THAT.
Matt and Laura look confused.
Laura says, OKAY, SO, YOU KNOW ABOUT WORDS?
Dr. Thesaurus says, YES.
Matt says, UH, COOL?
Dr. Thesaurus says, YES! IT IS COOL.
Laura says, OKAY WAIT.
YOU CANNOT TAKE THE TREE FORT
FROM US.
THAT IS SO NOT COOL.
Matt says, YEAH!
Dr. Thesaurus says, I CAN AND I WILL.
UNLESS YOU CAN SOLVE THE MOST
FIENDISH WORD RIDDLE EVER
DEVISED AND BECAUSE I’M A
GENEROUS AND SPORTING RAPSCALLION I’LL
EVEN GIVE YOU A CHEEKY CLUE.
BEHOLD!
Laura looks confused.
She asks, WHAT?
Text shows the letters RUMP with two letters missing before it, and five letters missing after it.
Matt says, OH, IT’S LIKE
A FILL IN THE BLANKS.
Dr. Thesaurus says, THE ONLY CLUE I SHALL GRANT
IS THAT THE UNFINISHED WORD IS A
SYNONYM FOR DELICIOUS.
SOLVE IT BY THE END OF YOUR LITTLE PROGRAM
AND I’LL LEAVE.
FAIL TO SOLVE IT AND YOU WILL LEAVE.
SEE YOU SOON AND SEE YOU AND
FEAR YOUR BRAIN OWNERS.
(Evil laughter)
(Thunder rumbles)
Matt and Laura look worried.
Matt says, OH, MY GOSH.
Laura says, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
ANOTHER VILLAIN TO DEAL WITH?
THAT’S AS IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO
DEAL WITH LAUREL AND LUCIOUS.
Matt says, UH OKAY, A SYNONYM IS
A WORD THAT HAS THE SAME OR
SIMILAR MEANING TO
ANOTHER WORD AND WE NEED TO FIND
ONE OF THOSE FOR DELICIOUS THAT
HAS THE WORD RUMP IN IT OR WE
LOSE THE TREE FORT?!
Laura says, I HAVE NO IDEA! I MEAN,
I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE TREE
FARM, I MEAN THE PEACH FARM.
(Frog horn)
Matt says, UH, YEAH, I DON'T THINK YOU CAN.
WE NEED YOU HERE TO HELP
FIND THIS, THE SOLUTION.
(Frog horn)
Laura says, UH, OKAY, OKAY, LET ME GET THE CALL.
Matt says, YEAH, GET THE CALL
Laura says, OKAY.
Matt says, YEAH, GET THE CALL,
MAYBE THEY’LL KNOW SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS.
Laura says, OKAY.
Laura presses an orange button.
She says, HELLO?
WHO’S CALLING?
A young voice says, JEMMA.
Laura asks, WHAT'S THE PASSWORD FOR THE FORT
TODAY?
Jemma says, PIT.
Laura says PIT! YES!
LIKE IN A PEACH.
OKAY…
(Typing on a keyboard)
Laura says … JEMMA YOU ARE GOING IN THE SKY.
Laura puts Jemma in the sky. Jemma has long dark hair. Matt waves to Jemma.
Laura says, HEY JEMMA.
Laura walks back to join Matt. Jemma is 8 years old.
Jemma says, HI.
Laura asks, HOW'S IT GOING?
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
Jemma says, I’M GOOD.
Laura says, OKAY.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU JUST SAW
DR. THESAURUS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HIM?
Jemma says, PRETTY EVIL.
Matt says, I AGREE.
Laura says, YEAH.
Matt says, EVIL IS RIGHT.
AND ONE GOOD THING IS, IS IT'S PEACH
DAY.
DO YOU LIKE PEACHES?
Jemma says, YES, I LIKE THEM.
Matt says, DO YOU LIKE…
Jemma says, [indiscernible]
Matt says, YES, THEY ARE AMAZING.
DO YOU LIKE PEACH PIE?
Jemma says, YES.
Jemma smiles and Matt laughs.
Laura says, OKAY.
JEMMA, WHAT IS THAT BEHIND YOU?
Behind Emma is a poster with facts about peaches. Jemma’s name is written beside a drawing of a peach. Text reads that August is peach month, peaches are fuzzy and that peach trees have pink blossoms. Jemma looks at the poster behind her.
Jemma says, IT IS [indiscernible] FOR THE SHOW.
Laura says, WHOA.
YOU MADE THAT?
ALL ON YOUR OWN?
Jemma says, I LEARNT SOME INTERESTING THINGS.
LIKE, AUGUST IS PEACH MONTH
AND THAT A NECTARINE AND A PEACH…
Jemma holds up a nectarine and a peach.
She continue, …ARE IDENTICAL PLANTS,
EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT A PEACH
IS FUZZY AND NECTARINES SMOOTH.
BUT IF YOU…
Laura says, WOW
Jemma says, UM, THEY’D BE IDENTICAL PLANTS.
Matt says, YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT
PEACHES.
AND HEY, I’D LOVE TO GET
YOUR OPINION ON THE CHAMPION.
YOU WANT TO SEE THE CHAMPION
THIS WEEK?
Jemma says, YES.
Matt says, ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE IT.
A male announcer says, CHAMPION!
An animated unicorn dances. Matt laughs.
Laura says, OKAY, UM
THIS UNICORN HAS BEEN THE
CHAMPION FOR A WHILE.
JEMMA, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Jemma says, I THINK IT'S PRETTY GOOD AT
DANCING.
I THINK I’D RATE IT AT 8 OUT OF 10.
Together, Matt and Laura say, 8 OUT OF 10.
Laura says, OKAY.
LET'S SEE HOW THAT DOES AGAINST
THE CHALLENGER.
The announcer says, CHALLENGER!
A white rat nibbles a peach.
Laura says, OOOO.
Matt says, A LITTLE RAT.
(Laura laughing)
Matt says, JUST HAVING A LITTLE TINY
NIBBLE ON A PEACH.
Laura jumps in and says, JUST HAVING A LITTLE SNACK
OF A PEACH THERE.
Matt says, HMM.
A LITTLE DELECTABLE BITE.
Laura says, HMM.
Matt asks, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT, JEMMA?
WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE IT FOR
CUTENESS OUT OF 10?
Jemma says, I, I’D GIVE IT A 10 OUT OF 10.
Together, Matt and Laura scream, 10 OUT OF 10.
Matt and Laura jump up and down. Matt laughs.
Laura says, THE RAT EATING A PEACH WINS.
JEMMA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
HANGING OUT.
WE LOVED YOUR POSTER AND THANKS
FOR TEACHING US MORE ABOUT
PEACHES.
Jemma says, THANKS FOR HAVING ME, AND
BEFORE I GO [indiscernible] TVOKIDS.
Matt says, THANK YOU!
Laura says, AMAZING.
JEMMA, WE HOPE YOU CALL IN AGAIN
SOON.
Matt says, BYE, JEMMA.
Laura says, BYE!
Matt says, THANK YOU.
Matt and Laura wave to Jemma.
Jemma disappears from the sky.
Laura says, OKAY, TVOKIDS, IF YOU WANT
TO BE UP IN THE SKY JUST LIKE
JEMMA, REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN
ALWAYS CALL IN.
Text reads, Call us at 1-888-886-5437.
Laura says, BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT
THIS WHOLE TREE FORT SCENARIO?
Matt says, OKAY…
Matt gasps
He says, LAURA.
Laura asks, WHAT?
Matt says, I THINK YOU CAN STILL GO TO
THE PEACH FARM.
Laura says, REALLY?
Matt says, YOU CAN GO, BUT WHEN YOU’RE
THERE, MAYBE WHEN YOU’RE
EATING ALL THESE DELICIOUS
THINGS, YOU’LL BE INSPIRED AND
THINK OF A SYNONYM FOR DELICIOUS
THAT HAS THE WORD "WITH
RUMP IN IT."
Laura says, OKAY MAYBE YOU’RE RIGHT!
Matt says, YEAH, YEAH!
Laura says, I WILL AND I WILL DO IT ALL
FOR THE TREE FORT BECAUSE I
CAN’T BELIEVE DR. THESAURUS IS
ANOTHER VILLAIN, LIKE WHAT ARE
WE SUPPOSED TO DO?
As Laura leaves Matt calls out, GOOD LUCK!
YOU’RE OUR ONLY HOPE!
Matt looks worried.
He says, I HOPE SHE FIGURES IT OUT.
Outside, Laura walks down a sidewalk.
Laura says, DR. THESAURUS, AND HIS
BIG WORDS ALL THE TIME.
IT’S JUST LIKE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO THINK OF ALL THESE BIG WORDS?
OKAY, DR. THESAURUS, I’LL TRY.
BUT LIKE HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO
THINK ABOUT THEM?
I CAN’T THINK OF ALL THESE WORDS
ALL THE TIME.
Laura walks past a sign that reads, Two Century Farm, 1787, The Smiths. Laura walks down a trail on the farm. She sighs.
Laura says, SYNONYM FOR DELICIOUS.
YUMMY? NO THAT’S NOT IT.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
Laura sits on a swing.
She gasps and says, TASTY!
NO.
DELECTABLE!
THAT’S NOT IT EITHER.
Laura looks frustrated. She picks a pear from a tree and takes a bite.
Laura says HMMM.
SO FLAVOURFUL.
Laura sighs. She walks through a field.
Laura says, WHAT CAN IT BE?
ENJOYABLE?
THAT'S NOT THE WORD.
HEAVENLY?
NO.
TASTE-TASTIC!
THAT'S NOT IT.
Laura takes a bite out of a peach.
Laura says, HMM, EXQUISITE.
Laura looks frustrated.
She says, THAT'S NOT THE WORD EITHER.
Laura takes another bite of peach. She walks through a field and sighs.
Laura says, SORRY, MATT.
I COULDN'T THINK OF THE WORD.
WHAT AM I GONNA DO.
Laura gasps.
She says, I AM AT A PEACH FARM.
MAYBE IF I TALK TO SOME REAL
PEACH FARMERS THAT'LL INSPIRE
ME.
OKAY, LET'S DO IT.
Back in the tree fort, Matt reads a list of words written on a board handing on an easel. He holds a black marker.
Matt says, OH, TASTEFUL.
NO, DOESN'T HAVE "RUMP IN IT.
Matt crosses out the word tasteful.
Matt says, PALATABLE.
THAT DOESN'T ALSO HAVE RUMP IN IT.
Matt crosses out the word palatable.
He says, FLAVOURY.
Matt crosses out the word flavoury.
He says, TVO KIDS THOSE ARE THE ONLY SYNONYMS I
CAN THINK OF.
(Thunder rumbles)
Dr. Thesaurus appears in the sky.
Dr. Thesaurus says, OH, POOR SIMPLE MATTHEW.
I ALMOST FEEL SORRY FOR YOU.
FACE THE MUSIC MAN. YOU AND YOUR
FRIENDS SIMPLY DON’T POSSESS
THE MENTAL CAPACITY TO BEST ME.
Matt says, NEVER!
Dr. Thesaurus says, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY GIVE UP
WHILE YOU STILL POSSESS A SHRED
OF YOUR DIGNITY.
Matt says, WE WILL FIGURE THIS OUT
AND YOU’RE NOT TAKING OUR FORT!
NEVER EVER.
Dr. Thesaurus says, WE SHALL SEE VERY SOON WON'T
WE, MATTHEW, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK.
Matt says, NO! NO!
(Evil laughter)
Matt says, D’AH MAN.
Dr. Thesaurus disappears from the sky.
Matt says, AH, TVOKIDS, HE IS JUST SO EVIL.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I’M GONNA
KEEP WORKING ON MY LIST.
AH, YOU CHECK OUT THIS MULTIPLE CHOICE
MONICA AND I’M GONNA THINK
OF MORE SYNONYMS FOR DELICIOUS.
Matt uncaps his marker and goes back to his list.
(Exciting, upbeat music plays)
A male narrator asks, IS IT A, B, C, OR D?
IT'S MULTIPLE CHOICE MONICA.
Monica pops up wearing a red sweater.
She asks, DID SOMEBODY SAY MULTIPLE
CHOICE?
Monica wears a pink t-shirt under a long sleeve plaid button up shirt. She holds a peach. In the background, a woman picks a peach from a peach tree.
Monica says, AUGUST IS NATIONAL PEACH MONTH
IN CANADA.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OVER
2,000 KINDS OF PEACHES?
THAT'S 2,000 KINDS OF DELICIOUS.
NOW WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE
NOT RELATED TO PEACHES?
IS IT A, APRICOTS, B, BANANAS, C,
PLUMS OR D, WOLVERINES?
Monica turns and sees a wolverine behind her.
Monica says, OH, NO, I MEAN NECTARINES.
NO, NOT WOLVERINES, OKAY.
THAT’S BETTER.
I’LL GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO DECIDE.
UNTIL THEN I’LL STARE AT THIS
PEACH.
Monica holds up a peach and stares at it.
(Ticking clock)
Monica narrows her eyes at the peach. She raises an eyebrow and squints at the peach.
Monica says, READY FOR THE ANSWER?
THE OPTION NOT RELATED TO
PEACHES WAS…
(Drum roll)
Monica says, …B, BANANAS.
DID YOU GET IT RIGHT?
ALL OF THE OTHER CHOICES ARE
STONE FRUITS WHICH MEANS THEY
HAVE A HARD PIT IN THE MIDDLE
THAT CONTAINS THE SEED OF THE
FRUIT.
THAT MAKES PEACHES RELATED TO
PLUMS, APRICOTS, EVEN ALMONDS
DISTANTLY.
IN FACT, NECTARINES ARE TECHNICALLY
JUST A TYPE OF FUZZYLESS PEACH.
SPEAKING OF WHICH.
Monica takes a bite out of the peach she holds. Peach juice drips from her mouth.
Monica says, SO GOOD.
Monica takes another bite of peach.
The narrator says, IS IT A, B, C, OR D?
IT'S MULTIPLE CHOICE MONICA.
Back in the tree fort, Matt looks nervous.
He says, UH, YUMMYLISH?
Laura enters carrying two plates of food.
Laura says, OKAY, MATT, I’M BACK AND
I HAD THE BEST
TIME AT THE PEACH FARM.
YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE IT!
I PICKED MY OWN PEACHES.
Laura hands Matt a plate.
Laura says, IT WAS THE TWO CENTURY FARM AND I
MET PEACH FARMERS JILLIAN AND
SIDNEY AND THEY TAUGHT ME ALL ABOUT
PEACHES AND IT WAS SO MUCH
FUN AND THEY WERE SO DELICIOUS I HAD
THE BEST TIME.
She looks excited. Her fork falls off her plate.
Matt asks, DID YOU HAPPEN TO THINK OF A
SYNONYM FOR DELICIOUS THAT HAS
THE WORD "RUMP" IN IT?
Laura says, OH, YEAH, I TOTALLY FORGOT I WAS
SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.
Matt says, OH, MAN.
Laura says, I’M SORRY.
Matt says, I ALSO COULDN'T THINK OF A
SYNONYM FOR DELICIOUS THAT HAS
THE WORD RUMP IN IT.
Laura says, I JUST GOT SO CAUGHT UP WITH ALL THE
COOL STUFF ABOUT THE FARM.
I MEAN, DID YOU KNOW THAT
TO GROW PEACHES IN ONTARIO YOU
NEED SOMETHING CALLED A MICROCLIMATE.
Matt asks, A MICRO WHAT?
Laura says, YEAH, A MICROCLIMATE.
IT'S, IT’S A SMALL AREA THAT FOR SOME
REASONS OF GEOGRAPHY HAS A
DIFFERENT CLIMATE THAN THE AREA
AROUND IT SO THE NIAGARA REGION
FARMS ARE SPECIAL BECAUSE THEY
HAVE LAKE ONTARIO ON ONE SIDE
AND THE TALL ESCARPMENT OF CLIFFS
ON THE OTHER.
SO THAT KEEPS IT COOL IN THE SUMMER
AND WARM IN THE FALL.
PERFECT FOR GROWING PEACHES.
Matt says, WOW, THAT IS REALLY
FASCINATING.
BUT I GUESS WE’LL JUST EAT
THIS DELICIOUS PEACH PIE AND SAY
GOOD-BYE TO THE TREE FORT.
Laura says, YEAH.
I GUESS.
Matt says, WELL…
Laura sighs.
Matt says, …HERE WE GO.
Laura says, CHEERS.
Laura takes a bite of pie.
Matt says, I WISH WE COULD THINK OF A
WORD FOR DELICIOUS THAT HAS
RUMP IN THE MIDDLE.
Text shows the word RUMP with two letters missing before it, and five letters missing after it.
Laura says, HMM, YEAH.
WOW, THIS PIE IS SCRUMPTIOUS.
Matt takes a bite of pie, then looks shocked.
(Thunder rumbles)
Text reads, scrumptious.
Laura says, AND WHEN I SAY SCRUMPTIOUS,
I MEAN SCRUMPTIOUS…
Matt interrupts Laura.
He says, LAURA, DID YOU IT!
SCRUMPTIOUS.
Laura says, I DID WHAT?
Matt says, THAT'S THE WORD!
Laura says, HUH?
Matt says, SCRUMPTIOUS IS A SYNONYM FOR
DELICIOUS AND IT HAS THE WORD "RUMP" IN
IT.
Speaking over Matt, Dr. Thesaurus appears in the sky and says, UNCONFOUNDED!
HOW DID YOUR MINISCULE MELONS MANAGE
TO MATCH WITS WITH MY MAD CEREBRAL
SKILLS?
Matt says, WHAT CAN I SAY?
LAURA AND I ARE SOME PRETTY SMART
MONKEYS.
Dr. Thesaurus says, HARDLY.
WELL, YOU WIN THIS ONE, MONKEYS,
BUT NEXT TIME THE WORD CHALLENGE
I GIVE YOU WILL BE SO PUZZLING
SO PERPLEXING, SO PROBLEMATIC
THAT YOUR BRAINS WILL OOZE OUT
OF YOUR EARS AND I WILL WIN THE
TREE FORT.
Matt says, WHATEVER YOU SAY,
DR. DICTIONARY.
WE’LL BE READY.
Dr. Thesaurus says, IT'S NOT DR. DICTIONARY.
IT'S DR. THESAURUS.
Matt laughs.
Dr. Thesaurus says, HEY, YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE.
YOU’RE MEAN.
I’M LEAVING.
GOOD DAY, SIR.
Matt says, BYE.
Matt waves to Dr. Thesaurus.
Laura says, BYE, DR. THESAURUS.
Dr. Thesaurus leaves. He disappears from the sky.
Laura says, WE DID IT!
Matt says, WE DID IT!
Laura says, WE SAVED THE TREE FORT!
Matt and Laura jump up and down.
Matt says, WE SAVED THE TREE FORT!
WE GET TO KEEP THE TREE FORT
AND WE GET TO EAT PIE.
Laura says, THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER
I THINK.
Matt says, THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.
Laura says, OKAY BUT, MATT, NOW THAT WE KNOW
DR. THESAURUS IS AROUND IN THE
FOREST WE BETTER KEEP UP ON OUR
VOCABULARY DON'T YOU THINK?
Matt says, THAT IS SO TRUE.
WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR A
DR. THESAURUS ATTACK AT ANY
TIME.
Laura says, YEAH, TOTALLY.
AND, YOU KNOW WHAT IS COMING UP
UP NEXT?
Matt asks, WHAT?
Laura says, BIG WORDS, SMALL STORIES!
Matt says, BIG WORDS, SMALL STORIES,
THAT'S RIGHT.
I’M GONNA LEARN SO MANY BIG WORDS
FROM WATCHING THAT SHOW.
AND THEN I’LL ALWAYS HAVE A
WORD TOP OF MIND FOR
DR. THESAURUS.
Laura says, EXACTLY.
LIKE, WHAT WAS OUR WORD AGAIN TODAY?
Matt says, SCRUMPTIOUS.
Laura says, SCRUMPTIOUS.
Matt says, SCRUMPTIOUS!
Laura says, THAT'S RIGHT!
Matt says, AH, I’M SO GLAD.
I LOVE YOU, FROG HORN
Matt hugs the frog horn. He runs around the tree fort.
Matt says, AND, AND
SUNGLASSES AND BASEBALL BAT
ATTACHED TO WALL.
AND PHONE THING
Laura says, AND MOUNTAIN PILLOWS AND TINY
DINO.
Matt says, MMM AND THIS PEACH PIE.
Matt eats a forkful of pie.
Laura says, WE’RE NEVER GOING TO LOSE THIS TREE
FORT.
HEY, TVOKIDS, THAT REMINDS ME,

THE EPISODES OF THAT TVOKDIS
SHOW AND US HANGING OUT IN

Laura asks, WHAT?
Matt says, I’M GONNA SLEEP WITH THIS – THESAURUS,
UNDER MY PILLOW.
Laura says, REALLY?!
Matt asks, THAT’LL WORK…
Laura says, WAIT…
Matt asks, RIGHT?
Laura says, ARE YOU SURE THAT’LL WORK?
Matt says, UH, TVOKIDS, IF YOU THINK
THAT'LL WORK SEND US AN EMAIL AT
TVOKIDS@TVO.ORG
AND LET ME KNOW IF THAT
ACTUALLY IS SCIENCE.
Laura says, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
SCIENCE, MATT, BUT, HEY, WE CAN
GIVE IT A TRY.
Matt says, YEAH WE CAN ALWAYS GIVE IT A TRY
AND WE CAN ALSO GO TO TVOKIDS.COM TO
CHECK OUT LOTS OF FUN GAMES ABOUT
VOCABULARY AND ENGLISH WHICH IS GONNA
HELP WITH GOING BACK TO
SCHOOL CAUSE THAT'S COMING UP, RIGHT?
Laura says, THAT’S VERY TRUE, BUT
AS FOR TODAY WE SAVED THE
TREE FORT.
Matt says, WE SAVED THE TREE FORT!
AND WE HAVE PEACH PIE.
Matt takes a bite of pie.
Laura says, THAT’S TRUE!
SEE YOU LATER, TVOKIDS.
Matt waves. Laura takes a bite of pie.
Laura says, MMM, SCRUMPTIOUS!
Matt says, SCRUMPTIOUS!
(Upbeat music)

They are both in their twenties.
Lucas and Laura sing an upbeat song as they run over a bridge. They carefully balance on a fallen log as they cross over a creek. They duck under a wooden bridge as someone walks over it. Laura and Lucas smile as they run down stairs.

SMALL STORIES, WHERE FOUR KIDS
LEARN A NEW DELICIOUS
MULTI-SYLLABIC WORD EVERY
EPISODE.
Laura says, OKAY, OKAY, LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
Laura and Matt jump. They look excited.
In a preview of the Big Words, Small Stories, a boy, a dog and two squirrels stand on a beach at a starting line. They all wear swim suits and water wings. One of the squirrels runs off and the dog follows. The boy sighs. The squirrel runs through an obstacle course but the dog stops to wipe sand off her paw. The squirrel jumps on a trampoline to leap over an obstacle while the dog washes her paws in a bucket of water. The squirrel pole vaults over a third obstacle. The boy and the other squirrel remain at the starting point.
The boy says, HURRY ABIGAIL! THEY’RE WINNING.
Abigail the dog steps into sandals. She takes a step, trips, and falls face first into the sand. Abigail joins the boy as the squirrel running the course makes it back to the starting point. He and the other squirrel have their picture taken with two trophies when they jump in the air.
Abigail asks, WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THESE
TROPHIES?
The boy says, THEY KEEP WINNING BECAUSE YOU
KEEP LOLLYGAGGING.
Text reads, Lollygagging.
Abigail says, WELL THEN, MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST GO HOME.
Abigail crosses her arms angrily, then smiles.
She says, YEAH, LET'S GO HOME.
Abigail starts to leave but the boy stops her.
The boy says, AFTER THE SAND CASTLE
BUILDING COMPETITION.
Abigail says, FINE.
Near the water, Abigail digs a moat while the boy adds to a sandcastle. The boy turns and sees the squirrels much larger sand castle being built with an excavator.
The boy says, ABIGAIL!
Back in the tree fort, Matt laughs.
Laura says, OKAY.
THAT LOOKS LIKE SO GOOD, BUT
THAT JUST REMIND ME I SHOULD STOP
LOLLYGAGGING BECAUSE I WAS
SUPPOSED TO GO A PEACH FARM
TODAY WHICH IS SO EXCITING.
Matt says, OH MY GOSH, YEAH
OKAY.
Laura says, SO I’M GOING TO GET GOING.
Matt says YEAH CAN YOU GRAB ME SOME PEACHES?
Laura says, TOTALLY
Matt says, AND PEACH COOKIES?
Laura says, OKAY.
A man wearing glasses with white hair appears in the sky.
The man says, ATTENTION TREE FORT DWELLERS.
PLEASE VACATE THIS ELEVATED TIMBER DWELLING
IMMEDIATELY!
IT IS MINE NOW.
Laura says, WAIT.
WHO ARE YOU?
The man asks WHO AM I?
ARE YOU JOKING?
JESTING OR JOSHING WITH ME?
YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHO I AM?
Matt says, NO.
YOU LOOK LIKE A LIBRARIAN
VAMPIRE, YOU JUST SHOWED UP.
The man says, INCONCEIVABLE, UNTHINKABLE.
WHACK!
YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM?
WELL, THEN, ALLOW ME TO
INTRODUCE MYSELF.
MY NAME IS DR. THESAURUS AND I
AM THE SMARTEST AND MOST VERBOSE
VILLAIN YOU HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED!
WITH SUCH FEARSOME AND VOLUMINOUS
VOCABULARY THAT IT STUNS MY VICTIMS
INTO STUPEFIED SILENCE.
HA HA!
JUST LIKE THAT.
Matt and Laura look confused.
Laura says, OKAY, SO, YOU KNOW ABOUT WORDS?
Dr. Thesaurus says, YES.
Matt says, UH, COOL?
Dr. Thesaurus says, YES! IT IS COOL.
Laura says, OKAY WAIT.
YOU CANNOT TAKE THE TREE FORT
FROM US.
THAT IS SO NOT COOL.
Matt says, YEAH!
Dr. Thesaurus says, I CAN AND I WILL.
UNLESS YOU CAN SOLVE THE MOST
FIENDISH WORD RIDDLE EVER
DEVISED AND BECAUSE I’M A
GENEROUS AND SPORTING RAPSCALLION I’LL
EVEN GIVE YOU A CHEEKY CLUE.
BEHOLD!
Laura looks confused.
She asks, WHAT?
Text shows the letters RUMP with two letters missing before it, and five letters missing after it.
Matt says, OH, IT’S LIKE
A FILL IN THE BLANKS.
Dr. Thesaurus says, THE ONLY CLUE I SHALL GRANT
IS THAT THE UNFINISHED WORD IS A
SYNONYM FOR DELICIOUS.
SOLVE IT BY THE END OF YOUR LITTLE PROGRAM
AND I’LL LEAVE.
FAIL TO SOLVE IT AND YOU WILL LEAVE.
SEE YOU SOON AND SEE YOU AND
FEAR YOUR BRAIN OWNERS.
(Evil laughter)
(Thunder rumbles)
Matt and Laura look worried.
Matt says, OH, MY GOSH.
Laura says, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
ANOTHER VILLAIN TO DEAL WITH?
THAT’S AS IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO
DEAL WITH LAUREL AND LUCIOUS.
Matt says, UH OKAY, A SYNONYM IS
A WORD THAT HAS THE SAME OR
SIMILAR MEANING TO
ANOTHER WORD AND WE NEED TO FIND
ONE OF THOSE FOR DELICIOUS THAT
HAS THE WORD RUMP IN IT OR WE
LOSE THE TREE FORT?!
Laura says, I HAVE NO IDEA! I MEAN,
I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE TREE
FARM, I MEAN THE PEACH FARM.
(Frog horn)
Matt says, UH, YEAH, I DON'T THINK YOU CAN.
WE NEED YOU HERE TO HELP
FIND THIS, THE SOLUTION.
(Frog horn)
Laura says, UH, OKAY, OKAY, LET ME GET THE CALL.
Matt says, YEAH, GET THE CALL
Laura says, OKAY.
Matt says, YEAH, GET THE CALL,
MAYBE THEY’LL KNOW SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS.
Laura says, OKAY.
Laura presses an orange button.
She says, HELLO?
WHO’S CALLING?
A young voice says, JEMMA.
Laura asks, WHAT'S THE PASSWORD FOR THE FORT
TODAY?
Jemma says, PIT.
Laura says PIT! YES!
LIKE IN A PEACH.
OKAY…
(Typing on a keyboard)
Laura says … JEMMA YOU ARE GOING IN THE SKY.
Laura puts Jemma in the sky. Jemma has long dark hair. Matt waves to Jemma.
Laura says, HEY JEMMA.
Laura walks back to join Matt. Jemma is 8 years old.
Jemma says, HI.
Laura asks, HOW'S IT GOING?
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
Jemma says, I’M GOOD.
Laura says, OKAY.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU JUST SAW
DR. THESAURUS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HIM?
Jemma says, PRETTY EVIL.
Matt says, I AGREE.
Laura says, YEAH.
Matt says, EVIL IS RIGHT.
AND ONE GOOD THING IS, IS IT'S PEACH
DAY.
DO YOU LIKE PEACHES?
Jemma says, YES, I LIKE THEM.
Matt says, DO YOU LIKE…
Jemma says, [indiscernible]
Matt says, YES, THEY ARE AMAZING.
DO YOU LIKE PEACH PIE?
Jemma says, YES.
Jemma smiles and Matt laughs.
Laura says, OKAY.
JEMMA, WHAT IS THAT BEHIND YOU?
Behind Emma is a poster with facts about peaches. Jemma’s name is written beside a drawing of a peach. Text reads that August is peach month, peaches are fuzzy and that peach trees have pink blossoms. Jemma looks at the poster behind her.
Jemma says, IT IS [indiscernible] FOR THE SHOW.
Laura says, WHOA.
YOU MADE THAT?
ALL ON YOUR OWN?
Jemma says, I LEARNT SOME INTERESTING THINGS.
LIKE, AUGUST IS PEACH MONTH
AND THAT A NECTARINE AND A PEACH…
Jemma holds up a nectarine and a peach.
She continue, …ARE IDENTICAL PLANTS,
EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT A PEACH
IS FUZZY AND NECTARINES SMOOTH.
BUT IF YOU…
Laura says, WOW
Jemma says, UM, THEY’D BE IDENTICAL PLANTS.
Matt says, YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT
PEACHES.
AND HEY, I’D LOVE TO GET
YOUR OPINION ON THE CHAMPION.
YOU WANT TO SEE THE CHAMPION
THIS WEEK?
Jemma says, YES.
Matt says, ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE IT.
A male announcer says, CHAMPION!
An animated unicorn dances. Matt laughs.
Laura says, OKAY, UM
THIS UNICORN HAS BEEN THE
CHAMPION FOR A WHILE.
JEMMA, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Jemma says, I THINK IT'S PRETTY GOOD AT
DANCING.
I THINK I’D RATE IT AT 8 OUT OF 10.
Together, Matt and Laura say, 8 OUT OF 10.
Laura says, OKAY.
LET'S SEE HOW THAT DOES AGAINST
THE CHALLENGER.
The announcer says, CHALLENGER!
A white rat nibbles a peach.
Laura says, OOOO.
Matt says, A LITTLE RAT.
(Laura laughing)
Matt says, JUST HAVING A LITTLE TINY
NIBBLE ON A PEACH.
Laura jumps in and says, JUST HAVING A LITTLE SNACK
OF A PEACH THERE.
Matt says, HMM.
A LITTLE DELECTABLE BITE.
Laura says, HMM.
Matt asks, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT, JEMMA?
WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE IT FOR
CUTENESS OUT OF 10?
Jemma says, I, I’D GIVE IT A 10 OUT OF 10.
Together, Matt and Laura scream, 10 OUT OF 10.
Matt and Laura jump up and down. Matt laughs.
Laura says, THE RAT EATING A PEACH WINS.
JEMMA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
HANGING OUT.
WE LOVED YOUR POSTER AND THANKS
FOR TEACHING US MORE ABOUT
PEACHES.
Jemma says, THANKS FOR HAVING ME, AND
BEFORE I GO [indiscernible] TVOKIDS.
Matt says, THANK YOU!
Laura says, AMAZING.
JEMMA, WE HOPE YOU CALL IN AGAIN
SOON.
Matt says, BYE, JEMMA.
Laura says, BYE!
Matt says, THANK YOU.
Matt and Laura wave to Jemma.
Jemma disappears from the sky.
Laura says, OKAY, TVOKIDS, IF YOU WANT
TO BE UP IN THE SKY JUST LIKE
JEMMA, REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN
ALWAYS CALL IN.
Text reads, Call us at 1-888-886-5437.
Laura says, BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT
THIS WHOLE TREE FORT SCENARIO?
Matt says, OKAY…
Matt gasps
He says, LAURA.
Laura asks, WHAT?
Matt says, I THINK YOU CAN STILL GO TO
THE PEACH FARM.
Laura says, REALLY?
Matt says, YOU CAN GO, BUT WHEN YOU’RE
THERE, MAYBE WHEN YOU’RE
EATING ALL THESE DELICIOUS
THINGS, YOU’LL BE INSPIRED AND
THINK OF A SYNONYM FOR DELICIOUS
THAT HAS THE WORD "WITH
RUMP IN IT."
Laura says, OKAY MAYBE YOU’RE RIGHT!
Matt says, YEAH, YEAH!
Laura says, I WILL AND I WILL DO IT ALL
FOR THE TREE FORT BECAUSE I
CAN’T BELIEVE DR. THESAURUS IS
ANOTHER VILLAIN, LIKE WHAT ARE
WE SUPPOSED TO DO?
As Laura leaves Matt calls out, GOOD LUCK!
YOU’RE OUR ONLY HOPE!
Matt looks worried.
He says, I HOPE SHE FIGURES IT OUT.
Outside, Laura walks down a sidewalk.
Laura says, DR. THESAURUS, AND HIS
BIG WORDS ALL THE TIME.
IT’S JUST LIKE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO THINK OF ALL THESE BIG WORDS?
OKAY, DR. THESAURUS, I’LL TRY.
BUT LIKE HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO
THINK ABOUT THEM?
I CAN’T THINK OF ALL THESE WORDS
ALL THE TIME.
Laura walks past a sign that reads, Two Century Farm, 1787, The Smiths. Laura walks down a trail on the farm. She sighs.
Laura says, SYNONYM FOR DELICIOUS.
YUMMY? NO THAT’S NOT IT.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
Laura sits on a swing.
She gasps and says, TASTY!
NO.
DELECTABLE!
THAT’S NOT IT EITHER.
Laura looks frustrated. She picks a pear from a tree and takes a bite.
Laura says HMMM.
SO FLAVOURFUL.
Laura sighs. She walks through a field.
Laura says, WHAT CAN IT BE?
ENJOYABLE?
THAT'S NOT THE WORD.
HEAVENLY?
NO.
TASTE-TASTIC!
THAT'S NOT IT.
Laura takes a bite out of a peach.
Laura says, HMM, EXQUISITE.
Laura looks frustrated.
She says, THAT'S NOT THE WORD EITHER.
Laura takes another bite of peach. She walks through a field and sighs.
Laura says, SORRY, MATT.
I COULDN'T THINK OF THE WORD.
WHAT AM I GONNA DO.
Laura gasps.
She says, I AM AT A PEACH FARM.
MAYBE IF I TALK TO SOME REAL
PEACH FARMERS THAT'LL INSPIRE
ME.
OKAY, LET'S DO IT.
Back in the tree fort, Matt reads a list of words written on a board handing on an easel. He holds a black marker.
Matt says, OH, TASTEFUL.
NO, DOESN'T HAVE "RUMP IN IT.
Matt crosses out the word tasteful.
Matt says, PALATABLE.
THAT DOESN'T ALSO HAVE RUMP IN IT.
Matt crosses out the word palatable.
He says, FLAVOURY.
Matt crosses out the word flavoury.
He says, TVO KIDS THOSE ARE THE ONLY SYNONYMS I
CAN THINK OF.
(Thunder rumbles)
Dr. Thesaurus appears in the sky.
Dr. Thesaurus says, OH, POOR SIMPLE MATTHEW.
I ALMOST FEEL SORRY FOR YOU.
FACE THE MUSIC MAN. YOU AND YOUR
FRIENDS SIMPLY DON’T POSSESS
THE MENTAL CAPACITY TO BEST ME.
Matt says, NEVER!
Dr. Thesaurus says, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY GIVE UP
WHILE YOU STILL POSSESS A SHRED
OF YOUR DIGNITY.
Matt says, WE WILL FIGURE THIS OUT
AND YOU’RE NOT TAKING OUR FORT!
NEVER EVER.
Dr. Thesaurus says, WE SHALL SEE VERY SOON WON'T
WE, MATTHEW, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK.
Matt says, NO! NO!
(Evil laughter)
Matt says, D’AH MAN.
Dr. Thesaurus disappears from the sky.
Matt says, AH, TVOKIDS, HE IS JUST SO EVIL.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I’M GONNA
KEEP WORKING ON MY LIST.
AH, YOU CHECK OUT THIS MULTIPLE CHOICE
MONICA AND I’M GONNA THINK
OF MORE SYNONYMS FOR DELICIOUS.
Matt uncaps his marker and goes back to his list.
(Exciting, upbeat music plays)
A male narrator asks, IS IT A, B, C, OR D?
IT'S MULTIPLE CHOICE MONICA.
Monica pops up wearing a red sweater.
She asks, DID SOMEBODY SAY MULTIPLE
CHOICE?
Monica wears a pink t-shirt under a long sleeve plaid button up shirt. She holds a peach. In the background, a woman picks a peach from a peach tree.
Monica says, AUGUST IS NATIONAL PEACH MONTH
IN CANADA.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OVER
2,000 KINDS OF PEACHES?
THAT'S 2,000 KINDS OF DELICIOUS.
NOW WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE
NOT RELATED TO PEACHES?
IS IT A, APRICOTS, B, BANANAS, C,
PLUMS OR D, WOLVERINES?
Monica turns and sees a wolverine behind her.
Monica says, OH, NO, I MEAN NECTARINES.
NO, NOT WOLVERINES, OKAY.
THAT’S BETTER.
I’LL GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO DECIDE.
UNTIL THEN I’LL STARE AT THIS
PEACH.
Monica holds up a peach and stares at it.
(Ticking clock)
Monica narrows her eyes at the peach. She raises an eyebrow and squints at the peach.
Monica says, READY FOR THE ANSWER?
THE OPTION NOT RELATED TO
PEACHES WAS…
(Drum roll)
Monica says, …B, BANANAS.
DID YOU GET IT RIGHT?
ALL OF THE OTHER CHOICES ARE
STONE FRUITS WHICH MEANS THEY
HAVE A HARD PIT IN THE MIDDLE
THAT CONTAINS THE SEED OF THE
FRUIT.
THAT MAKES PEACHES RELATED TO
PLUMS, APRICOTS, EVEN ALMONDS
DISTANTLY.
IN FACT, NECTARINES ARE TECHNICALLY
JUST A TYPE OF FUZZYLESS PEACH.
SPEAKING OF WHICH.
Monica takes a bite out of the peach she holds. Peach juice drips from her mouth.
Monica says, SO GOOD.
Monica takes another bite of peach.
The narrator says, IS IT A, B, C, OR D?
IT'S MULTIPLE CHOICE MONICA.
Back in the tree fort, Matt looks nervous.
He says, UH, YUMMYLISH?
Laura enters carrying two plates of food.
Laura says, OKAY, MATT, I’M BACK AND
I HAD THE BEST
TIME AT THE PEACH FARM.
YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE IT!
I PICKED MY OWN PEACHES.
Laura hands Matt a plate.
Laura says, IT WAS THE TWO CENTURY FARM AND I
MET PEACH FARMERS JILLIAN AND
SIDNEY AND THEY TAUGHT ME ALL ABOUT
PEACHES AND IT WAS SO MUCH
FUN AND THEY WERE SO DELICIOUS I HAD
THE BEST TIME.
She looks excited. Her fork falls off her plate.
Matt asks, DID YOU HAPPEN TO THINK OF A
SYNONYM FOR DELICIOUS THAT HAS
THE WORD "RUMP" IN IT?
Laura says, OH, YEAH, I TOTALLY FORGOT I WAS
SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.
Matt says, OH, MAN.
Laura says, I’M SORRY.
Matt says, I ALSO COULDN'T THINK OF A
SYNONYM FOR DELICIOUS THAT HAS
THE WORD RUMP IN IT.
Laura says, I JUST GOT SO CAUGHT UP WITH ALL THE
COOL STUFF ABOUT THE FARM.
I MEAN, DID YOU KNOW THAT
TO GROW PEACHES IN ONTARIO YOU
NEED SOMETHING CALLED A MICROCLIMATE.
Matt asks, A MICRO WHAT?
Laura says, YEAH, A MICROCLIMATE.
IT'S, IT’S A SMALL AREA THAT FOR SOME
REASONS OF GEOGRAPHY HAS A
DIFFERENT CLIMATE THAN THE AREA
AROUND IT SO THE NIAGARA REGION
FARMS ARE SPECIAL BECAUSE THEY
HAVE LAKE ONTARIO ON ONE SIDE
AND THE TALL ESCARPMENT OF CLIFFS
ON THE OTHER.
SO THAT KEEPS IT COOL IN THE SUMMER
AND WARM IN THE FALL.
PERFECT FOR GROWING PEACHES.
Matt says, WOW, THAT IS REALLY
FASCINATING.
BUT I GUESS WE’LL JUST EAT
THIS DELICIOUS PEACH PIE AND SAY
GOOD-BYE TO THE TREE FORT.
Laura says, YEAH.
I GUESS.
Matt says, WELL…
Laura sighs.
Matt says, …HERE WE GO.
Laura says, CHEERS.
Laura takes a bite of pie.
Matt says, I WISH WE COULD THINK OF A
WORD FOR DELICIOUS THAT HAS
RUMP IN THE MIDDLE.
Text shows the word RUMP with two letters missing before it, and five letters missing after it.
Laura says, HMM, YEAH.
WOW, THIS PIE IS SCRUMPTIOUS.
Matt takes a bite of pie, then looks shocked.
(Thunder rumbles)
Text reads, scrumptious.
Laura says, AND WHEN I SAY SCRUMPTIOUS,
I MEAN SCRUMPTIOUS…
Matt interrupts Laura.
He says, LAURA, DID YOU IT!
SCRUMPTIOUS.
Laura says, I DID WHAT?
Matt says, THAT'S THE WORD!
Laura says, HUH?
Matt says, SCRUMPTIOUS IS A SYNONYM FOR
DELICIOUS AND IT HAS THE WORD "RUMP" IN
IT.
Speaking over Matt, Dr. Thesaurus appears in the sky and says, UNCONFOUNDED!
HOW DID YOUR MINISCULE MELONS MANAGE
TO MATCH WITS WITH MY MAD CEREBRAL
SKILLS?
Matt says, WHAT CAN I SAY?
LAURA AND I ARE SOME PRETTY SMART
MONKEYS.
Dr. Thesaurus says, HARDLY.
WELL, YOU WIN THIS ONE, MONKEYS,
BUT NEXT TIME THE WORD CHALLENGE
I GIVE YOU WILL BE SO PUZZLING
SO PERPLEXING, SO PROBLEMATIC
THAT YOUR BRAINS WILL OOZE OUT
OF YOUR EARS AND I WILL WIN THE
TREE FORT.
Matt says, WHATEVER YOU SAY,
DR. DICTIONARY.
WE’LL BE READY.
Dr. Thesaurus says, IT'S NOT DR. DICTIONARY.
IT'S DR. THESAURUS.
Matt laughs.
Dr. Thesaurus says, HEY, YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE.
YOU’RE MEAN.
I’M LEAVING.
GOOD DAY, SIR.
Matt says, BYE.
Matt waves to Dr. Thesaurus.
Laura says, BYE, DR. THESAURUS.
Dr. Thesaurus leaves. He disappears from the sky.
Laura says, WE DID IT!
Matt says, WE DID IT!
Laura says, WE SAVED THE TREE FORT!
Matt and Laura jump up and down.
Matt says, WE SAVED THE TREE FORT!
WE GET TO KEEP THE TREE FORT
AND WE GET TO EAT PIE.
Laura says, THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER
I THINK.
Matt says, THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.
Laura says, OKAY BUT, MATT, NOW THAT WE KNOW
DR. THESAURUS IS AROUND IN THE
FOREST WE BETTER KEEP UP ON OUR
VOCABULARY DON'T YOU THINK?
Matt says, THAT IS SO TRUE.
WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR A
DR. THESAURUS ATTACK AT ANY
TIME.
Laura says, YEAH, TOTALLY.
AND, YOU KNOW WHAT IS COMING UP
UP NEXT?
Matt asks, WHAT?
Laura says, BIG WORDS, SMALL STORIES!
Matt says, BIG WORDS, SMALL STORIES,
THAT'S RIGHT.
I’M GONNA LEARN SO MANY BIG WORDS
FROM WATCHING THAT SHOW.
AND THEN I’LL ALWAYS HAVE A
WORD TOP OF MIND FOR
DR. THESAURUS.
Laura says, EXACTLY.
LIKE, WHAT WAS OUR WORD AGAIN TODAY?
Matt says, SCRUMPTIOUS.
Laura says, SCRUMPTIOUS.
Matt says, SCRUMPTIOUS!
Laura says, THAT'S RIGHT!
Matt says, AH, I’M SO GLAD.
I LOVE YOU, FROG HORN
Matt hugs the frog horn. He runs around the tree fort.
Matt says, AND, AND
SUNGLASSES AND BASEBALL BAT
ATTACHED TO WALL.
AND PHONE THING
Laura says, AND MOUNTAIN PILLOWS AND TINY
DINO.
Matt says, MMM AND THIS PEACH PIE.
Matt eats a forkful of pie.
Laura says, WE’RE NEVER GOING TO LOSE THIS TREE
FORT.
HEY, TVOKIDS, THAT REMINDS ME,
IF YOU WANT TO CATCH UP ON ALL
THE EPISODES OF THAT TVOKDIS
SHOW AND US HANGING OUT IN
THE TREE FORT, HEAD TO
TVOKIDS.COM AND YOU’LL FIND
ALL THE EPISODES THERE.
Matt says, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT’S
ANOTHER WAY THAT I CAN KEEP
REMEMBERING LOTS AND LOTS OF WORDS.
Laura asks, WHAT?
Matt says, I’M GONNA SLEEP WITH THIS – THESAURUS,
UNDER MY PILLOW.
Laura says, REALLY?!
Matt asks, THAT’LL WORK…
Laura says, WAIT…
Matt asks, RIGHT?
Laura says, ARE YOU SURE THAT’LL WORK?
Matt says, UH, TVOKIDS, IF YOU THINK
THAT'LL WORK SEND US AN EMAIL AT
TVOKIDS@TVO.ORG
AND LET ME KNOW IF THAT
ACTUALLY IS SCIENCE.
Laura says, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
SCIENCE, MATT, BUT, HEY, WE CAN
GIVE IT A TRY.
Matt says, YEAH WE CAN ALWAYS GIVE IT A TRY
AND WE CAN ALSO GO TO TVOKIDS.COM TO
CHECK OUT LOTS OF FUN GAMES ABOUT
VOCABULARY AND ENGLISH WHICH IS GONNA
HELP WITH GOING BACK TO
SCHOOL CAUSE THAT'S COMING UP, RIGHT?
Laura says, THAT’S VERY TRUE, BUT
AS FOR TODAY WE SAVED THE
TREE FORT.
Matt says, WE SAVED THE TREE FORT!
AND WE HAVE PEACH PIE.
Matt takes a bite of pie.
Laura says, THAT’S TRUE!
SEE YOU LATER, TVOKIDS.
Matt waves. Laura takes a bite of pie.
Laura says, MMM, SCRUMPTIOUS!
Matt says, SCRUMPTIOUS!
(Upbeat music)
