Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears jeans and an orange T-shirt.

Laura is in her twenties, with above the shoulders straight brown hair with bangs and wears jeans and a purple T-shirt.

As a song plays, Lucas and Laura walk in the woods, cross a bridge, balance on a fallen tree trunk, cross a stream, run across the city and in a park full of geese.

The song says PACK UP YOUR BAGS
KISS YOUR TURTLE GOODBYE
COME UP AND CLIMB
WHERE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY
SO MUCH TO SEE
SO MUCH TO DO
IN OUR TREE FORT
WE GOT A SHOW FOR
THAT TVOKIDS, THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW

Laura says PASSWORD PLEASE.
[FWEET!]

Lucas whispers something in Laura's ear as a caption reads "Dictionary."

In animation, a dialogue bubble pop out of a map with a caption "That TVO Kids Show."

(music plays)

Laura and Lucas stand in the tree fort.

Lucas says WHAT'S UP, TVOkids?
WELCOME TO WORD DAY.

Laura says IT IS WORD DAY!

Lucas says WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE WORD?

Laura says OH, NO.
MAYBE IT'S SQUIRREL.

Lucas says REALLY?

Laura says YES.
IT'S FUN TO SAY.

Lucas says SQUIRREL.

Laura says FUN TO SPELL.

Lucas says BUT SO COMMON TO SEE IN
ONTARIO.

Laura says SO WHY CAN'T IT BE MY
FAVOURITE?

Lucas says IT CAN TOTALLY BE YOUR
FAVOURITE.
YOUR RULES.
YOU CHOOSE.

They high-five.

Laura says WELL, DID YOU GUESS THE
PASSWORD, TVOkids?
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
IT'S A BIT OF A SCRAMBLE.

Lucas says YES.
IF YOU UNSCRAMBLED IT, YOU MIGHT
HAVE GOT DICTIONARY AND YOU
WOULD HAVE GOT THE PASSWORD.

Laura says AND YOU ALL DID, BECAUSE
YOU'RE AMAZING.

Lucas laughs.

Laura says WHAT?

[Frog horn]

Lucas says YOU ARE.
I WAS LAUGHING AT YOU.
YOU'RE FUN.
OKAY, WE'VE GOT A CARLE.

Laura takes the call and says HELLO, WHO'S CALLING?

The caller says JATHU.

Laura says DO YOU KNOW THE PASSWORD FOR
THE FORT TODAY?

Jathu says DICTIONARY.

Laura says YES, YOU ARE GOING IN THE
SKY.

Jathu pops up on the sky scree. She's 9, with long straight brown hair and wears a pink blouse.

Lucas says WELCOME.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE WORDS?
DO YOU HAVE ANY?

Jathu says LOVE, FAMILY AND LITTLE
BROTHER.

Laura says OH, AMAZING.

Lucas says NOT BIG BROTHER.

Laura says SOUNDS LIKE ALL YOUR
FAVOURITE THINGS.

Jathu says YES.

Laura says OKAY, DO YOU LIKE TO READ?

Jathu says I LOVE READING.
IT'S THE BEST.

Laura says YES.
SO WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT IT?

Jathu says WHEN YOU'RE READING, LIKE,
TRUE STORIES YOU LEARN MORE
INFORMATION, AND IT MAKES YOUR
BRAIN GROW.
AND IF IT'S FANTASY, YOU HAVE
MORE INTERESTING STUFF TO ENJOY
AND HAVE FUN.

Lucas says OH, SO YOU LIKE NON-FICTION
AND FICTION.

Jathu says I LIKE BOTH OF THEM.
BECAUSE IT'S FUN TO READ BOTH.

Lucas says WOULD YOU CALL YOURSELF A
BOOK WORM?

Jathu says YES.

Lucas says WOULD YOU CALL YOURSELF A
BOOK SQUIRREL?

Laura says NOT A THING.

Jathu says I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

Lucas says ME EITHER.
I MADE IT UP.

Laura says YOU HAD ANOTHER FAVOURITE
WORD, RIGHT?

Jathu says YES, IT WAS EXQUISITE.

Lucas says YES.
THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL WORD.

Laura says WHY DO YOU LIKE THAT WORD?

Jathu says WELL, I HAVE TWO MEANINGS,
BECAUSE ONE I LIKE THE WORD OF
HOW IT SOUNDS.

Laura says YES.

Jathu says AND THE OTHER THING IS THE
WAY IT ACTUALLY MEANS, BECAUSE
IT MEANS BEAUTIFUL AND, LIKE,
PRECIOUS.

Laura says YES.
IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT IT MEANS.
WHICH IS?

Lucas says EXQUISITE.

Laura says ONOMATOPOEDIA IS THE WORD FOR
THAT, WHEN THE WORD SOUNDS LIKE
WHAT IT MEANS.

Lucas says THAT'S SUCH A COOL WORD.
WE'LL SHOW YOU A CUTE TIME OUT
AND YOU GET TO RATE IT, OKAY?

Jathu says OKAY.

Lucas says OKAY, HERE IT COMES.

A series of pets appear with the title "Cute time oot."

A clip shows a black dog running across a yard in slow motion.

Laura says CHECK IT OUT.
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL CUTE TIME
OUT.
IT WAS SENT IN BY A TVOkid
TATUM.

Lucas says AND I THINK HIS DOG'S NAME IS
OSCAR.

Laura says YES, CHECK IT OUT.
OSCAR'S IN SLOW MOTION, AND THIS
IS EXQUISITE.

Lucas says THIS IS EXQUISITE, AND I WANT
THERE TO BE LIKE DRAMATIC MUSIC,
BUT WE DON'T GET IT.

Laura says I KNOW, IT'S LIKE HAVING THE
BEST MOMENT OF ITS LIFE.
I REALLY LOVE OSCAR.
LOOK AT HIM GO?

Lucas says HEY, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

Jathu says WELL, IT'S REALLY CUTE,
OBVIOUSLY.

Laura says YES.

Jathu says OBVIOUSLY.
AND IT'S PRECIOUS BECAUSE IT
MIGHT NOT BE A DOG EXACTLY LIKE
IT.

Lucas says YES, THAT'S TRUE.

Laura says TOTALLY.
AND WHAT DO YOU RATE IT?

Jathu says WELL, I WOULD RATE IT A
MILLION BILLION TRILLION
ZILLION, THE BIGGEST NUMBER IN
THE UNIVERSE.

Lucas says AND YOU ALSO INVENTED A
NUMBER.
THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN TODAY.

Laura says THANK YOU.

Jathu says BYE.

Laura says TALK TO YOU SOON.
[Applause]

Lucas says ALL RIGHT.
WE HAVE A GUEST.

Laura says WE HAVE AN AMAZING GUEST!

Lucas says HE'S SO COOL.

Laura says WHOA, AND ALONG WITH AIDEN, A
VERY AMAZING TROPHY.

Laura says CHECK IT OUT.

Lucas says TELL US ABOUT IT.

VANESSA, AGE 7, VANESSA WANTS TO
KNOW FROM YOU, AIDEN:

Laura says WHAT'S THE HARDEST WORD
YOU'VE EVER HAD TO SPELL?

Aiden says LIKE, FRUCTIFEROUS.

Lucas says I WISH I COULD SPELL THAT.

Laura says WHAT DOES THAT WORD MEAN?

Aiden says IT MEANS SOMETHING TO GO TO
DO WITH FRUIT.

Laura says AND I BET THAT HELPED YOU
FIGURE IDENTITY OW TO SPELL IT.

Lucas says HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A
SPELLING BEE.

Aiden says I LOOK THROUGH A DICTIONARY,
AND WHEN I FIND A WORD THAT'S
PARTICULARLY INTERESTING, AND I
DON'T KNOW THAT WORD, I JUST
LOOK AT THE MEANING, THE EXAMPLE
SENTENCES FT IT'S REALLY
INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY USE IT
IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT AND
DIFFERENT PLACES.

Laura says COOL.

Lucas says YOU LITERALLY READ THE
DICTIONARY.

Lucas says I LOVE THAT.

Laura says THAT'S SO COOL.
SO SAY IF I WANTED TO JOIN A
SPELLING BEE, HOW DOES ONE
BECOME A PART OF THIS TYPE OF
COMPETITION?

Aiden says YOU JUST GO TO
spellingbeeofCanada.ca.
REGISTRATION IS HOPE.
I THINK IT'S STILL OPEN.

Laura says AMAZING.

Lucas says COOL.
YOU SAID IT.

Laura says WE SHOULD PRACTICE LATER.
WHY DON'T WE DO OUR OWN SPELLING
BEE?

Lucas says LET'S DO THAT.
ARE YOU IN, AIDEN?

Laura says YEAH, I'M AIDEN.

Lucas says AIDEN ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE,
BUT WE WANT TO SEE HOW YOU GUYS
SPELL.

Laura says YEAH, LET'S CHECK IT OUT AND
SEE HOW YOU DO WITH SOME HARD

The opening of "Tree fort news" rolls.

Bruschetta says OH!
HELLO.

Landon says HELLO.

Bruschetta says WELCOME TO TREE FORT NEWS.

Landon says I'M LANDON FOG.

Bruschetta says AND I'M BRUSCHETTA JONES LIVE
FROM THE TREE FORT.

Landon says YES, YOU ARE AND THAT IS
WHERE WE ARE.
AND WE HAVE THE NEWS.

Bruschetta says GO AHEAD, THEN.

Landon says WELL, BRUSCHETTA, I DIDN'T
BRING THE NEWS.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE BRINGING IT
THIS WEEK.

Bruschetta says I NEVER BRING THE NEWS.
YOU'RE ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO BRING
IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT, WE MAY NOT HAVE
THE NEWS, BUT SINCE WE ARE THE
TOP NEWSCASTERS IN THE WORLD,
THERE'S NO REASON WE CAN'T MAKE
UP THE STORY BASED ON THE PHOTOS
WE SEE.

Landon says SILLY ME.
WE ALWAYS KNOW THE NEWS.
IT'S JUST OBVIOUS TO US.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AND SEE.

A picture of person in a mascot costume playing the guitar on a park bench appears on the screen.

Landon says OH, YES.
NOW THIS MASCOT DECIDED TO START A
BAND, AND IT WAS SO POPULAR IT
BECAME A FULL-SIZED ORCHESTRA.

Bruschetta says YES, WHAT IS THAT NOW?
A BIRD, A BIRD MASCOT.
AND MORE ON THAT STORY.

Landon says THIS IS GOOD.

Now a picture of a yellow house shaped like a bird house appears on the screen.

Bruschetta says LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS
LITTLE HOUSE.
THAT'S RIGHT, THE MASCOT CAME TO
TOWN AND DECIDED I'M GOING TO
BUILD A SMALL YELLOW HOME.

Landon says YES, BASED ON A SQUASH.

Bruschetta says COMPLETELY, YES, INDEED.

Now a picture of a large sandwich appears on screen.

Landon says VERY TASTY THING FOR THIS.
BUT IT GETS CRAZIER.
NOT ONLY IS THAT A SQUASH, BUT
IT'S AN OVERSIZED SANDWICHES.
JUST CREATED A NEW SANDWICH
ENTITLED "BIG SACCO."

Bruschetta says YES, THE BIG SACCO SANDWICH
IS NOW A CLASSIC IN THE CITY,
AND THAT'S WHY EVERYBODY IS
TRYING TO GET A PHOTO WITH THIS
BIRD MASCOT.

Landon says OH!
DON'T PANIC.
BRUSCHETTA.

Bruschetta says IS THERE SOMETHING ON MY...

Landon says THERE'S SOMETHING IN YOUR...
OH!

He takes a piece of paper out of Bruschetta's hood.

Bruschetta says OF COURSE.
IT'S THE REAL STORY!

Landon says OH!

Bruschetta says IT'S ALWAYS LYING AROUND HERE
SOMEWHERE.

Landon says WE ALWAYS FIND IT.

Bruschetta says OKAY, THE TRUE STORY IS: A
POKE DOTTED ZEBRA FOAL HAS BEEN
BORN IN KENYA'S MASAI NATIONAL
RESERVE.
THE FOAL'S NICKNAME MAY HAVE A
GENETIC CONDITION KNOWN AS...
BECAUSE OF THIS, ON RARE
CONDITIONS THE MEL NIN
TRANSFERRED INTO SOME ZEBRAS IS
DIFFERENT THAN THE STRIPE
ASSOCIATED WITH ZEBRAS.
A MAGIC ZEBRA!

Landon says IT IS VERY COOL.
WOW, THE REAL STORY IS ALWAYS SO
INTERESTING.

Bruschetta says MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN
OUR STORY.

Landon says BEFORE WE GO, I MUST TELL YOU
THAT I, LANDON FOG, I WILL BE
RUNNING FOR THIS YEAR'S MAYOR
